178.8 today, having trouble logging on the 3FC - bad internet. Trying to get refocused.

Hi Donna, good to see you :hug: I've been in and out of the 170's for some time now. Mostly in. I can't seem to get my head back into this for the life of me. I'm gonna try shakes for about a week to see if that works.

171.4 this morning! 1.6 lbs until I see the 160s...It has been TOO long!

Thanks for the welcome Rennie! Hopefully I've resoved the internet issues (as long as I don't try to log in after noon :( )

Good job Nicholsfamily :high:

Donna are there too many people on the internet in the after noons? That happens in here some evenings when all of the children are online with their phones, the computer or streaming movies ... I tell them if it's not important get off :D

Just checking back in… I don't *think* I gained over the holiday but possibly am dehydrated… but my weigh in tonight, clothed, after peeing, was 179.6 and later on (after drinking more water) 179.0 sooooo hopefully a bit of a drop tomorrow morning into the lower 170s. 177 would be so nice to see since it would be about a 2 pound drop for the week, but anything other than 179 would be nice. I left around 179.4 and I wasn't able to control my calories very well while I was gone (staying with a friend, home cooked delicious meals, etc), soooo all good.

Out of the 170s! Moving on to the 160s..after being 169.0 for two days straight! YAY!

Hey all! New to posting here, hope that's ok.

I've been bouncing around from 160-180 for the last...8?! years but I'm getting married in May so I've got the extra motivation I need to really get it done this time. Started on July 6th and down 10lbs as of this morning to 173.8 (2 for the week). Hoping to join you all in getting to the 160s soon!

Congratulations Nicholsfamily! Good luck in the 160s!

I weighed in today at 176.6 - so a 2.8 lb loss since I last weighed in! Pretty happy with that (span of about 8 days no weighing and little control over food).

6.8 pounds until the 160s which is where the majority of my nicer clothes will really start to fit… which will be pretty nice.

Hi Donna, lady fat and goodday!

Congrats Nicholsfamily!!

Rennie, it's hard when we've already been at this weight or struggle for a while. I try really hard to focus and stay where I am right now. It is a daily struggle for me! I wonder how I managed to maintain my much lower weight for years not a year ago when I can't get out of the 170s!? How is that possible?!

Well I weighed in at 171.8 today which is actually up a tiny bit from over a week ago. But I was quite happy to see it! My hubby brought me home a few TV dinners and I went up to almost 175 and got really backed up and felt absolutely horrid! Back to eating junk food once or twice a week!!

Hopefully I'll be down a bit more tomorrow. I was still ok on my calories, so hopefully I was still losing even though my body clearly is telling me to only reached for unprocessed food! Ugh. Why do I have to hate cooking and any food prep so much!? Those frozen meals are bliss! Haha

Hey HIheart! you are almost there... break through that 170 and I'll see you on the 160's thread!!

Thank you cheesecakeBrownie!! :D

Nicholsfamily :congrat: on the new decade :high:

ladyfat, you are doing it, keep up the good work :high: ladyfat, same here with the clothes, if I can just gain some self control, I could wear my jeans without them killing me ;)

goodday, I've been doing the same thing ... the bounce game. I've managed to stay away from the 8, but have surely come too close for comfort. We can and we will, leave this decade behind :crossed:

HIheart, I think the 190's and the 170's were my toughest decades. I have gotten out of the 170's a few times in the last few months I think only to go right back, smh. LOL, I hate food prep and cooking also. I didn't mind when I was home but I work crazy hours and I just don't feel like it most of the time ;) I loss weight in 2010 eating frozen dinners daily, but I was walking everyday after dinner to combat the sodium in those dinners which I believe is the killer part :( Hope you have a great weigh in tomorrow :crossed:

Hi CheeseCakeBrownie :wave:

weight today 174.4. My son has challenged me to see who can lose 4lbs the quickest. I want to lose 5.4lbs to get out of here :). I started the Military Diet for the umpteenth time. Hopefully this time I will make it pass day one. I have everything here already except for the cottage cheese and the vanilla ice cream which I'm going to get. Wish me :goodluck:

Hi ya love2B... you're going to beat your son to that 4lbs... and I'm going to see you on the other side!

Back up. 172.6

Will drink mote water today
Will eat extra veggies (just stocked up yesterday!)
Will go for light cardio (am sore from weights)

Fingers crossed for lower tomorrow
Have a good weekend!! :)
