I'm still around, but have been so bored with my bouncing weight that I haven't bothered posting it. Bleh.

It's been between 175.8 and 174.8 for days. Not a fan, but everything else is on point, so I just gotta wait it out.

Stripes, I hear you on hating the up bounces!

Maui, slowly moving closer! Yay!

Yeah, I'm stuck in the same spot as well. Gah!

179.2

I've been doing way more exercise and got a fairly bad burn on my hand (my fault), so I'm hoping that is contributing to this huge upswing. If I hit 180, I'm going to have to take off a finger. Not acceptable.

I feel bloated, but not sure how that is possible.

I was going to skip posting it but...ugh. Disappointments must be acknowledged, too. I think.

Stripes we all hit these stalls, and weight loss varies. Posting my weight every day for the last 3 months has helped because it shows me how insignificant daily numbers can be and just focused on the "end prize." I'm stalling out more and more most likely because I'm approaching my realistic goal as compared to a number.

You're doing awesome! Do you have a maintenance plan?

I'm going to a water park today that has constant moving water, up and down, like a slightly rough ocean. I'm going to swim so much that if I'm not down tomorrow it'll be because I'm waterlogged. :D

Apropos of little...
My cat is on a diet, too. She HATES it. Her dieting problems become my dieting problems...(Mew. Meeeeew! Mew! <headbutt> MEW! <paw grab> Mew.)...and it's actually harder to deal with her desire to eat than my own.

Dieting, it seems, is hard for all of God's creatures. Of course, we don't grab food off other people's plates and run away with it. But it's hard for us all.

We don't? Ooops. :o


Still stuck, no up or down. It's the end of decade dance...and I hate it! I want that next decade!

178.0 better, but please insert some swear words. :)Maybe we should. That would be an effective diet: Stolen Food Only.

You're so close. You'll be outta this decade soon. :)

I got so hungry at the water park that I ate a cheeseburger and fries. They refuse to release nutritional information, so I have no idea how many calories it was. A lot, I'm sure. Sigh. Next time I will bring food.

We were supposed to do water park and several hours of walking, but we left the water park, walked for an hour and quit. We were both pooped.

But I have a mild sunburn, so maybe that will burn a few off! :)

170.6

174.2 today, still in that range (it's got a vice grip on me).

Stripes, I am so with you! All I've been doing is up, down, up, down, up! I'm starting to hate th 170s with a fiery, burning passion. Let's hold off on removing digits for a while, though. ;)
I think disappointments can be acknowledge as well. It's part of the whole thing. Our weight will go up, or stall, for one reason or another. It's normal and expected, and we all have it happen. I've been around my current weight for approximately 17 years so far.

Maui, I'm in the mid-decade dance and I hate it, too. Probably not as bad as the end of a decade, because I'm pretty sure I can't even see the 160s from where I'm sitting (still in the same old range).

174.8 Very flukey. I sweat a lot last night and might be a little dehydrated. But I take and celebrate each drop. :)

Penny I agree about acknowledging everything. It's the Not Acknowledging my weight that allowed it to creep up and make me a blimp with legs.

Maui will be out of this decade very soon. Maybe she already is.

Nope, still here. Maybe by the end of next week??? I can only hope.

173.8 Ugh!

170.8

174.8 Starting to seem less flukey and more "I'm in the mid 170s," which is better than worrying about hitting 180 again, so I'll take it.

Maui, you're so close! Any day now. I thought today might be your day and then saw it did a rotten Up .2 on you. That would tick me off. Bad scale!

I love having a place to discuss this stuff. I cannot bore anyone IRL with it all, but it's important to me, :)

I'm always like this at the end of a decade. I can sometimes breeze through the upper numbers but I always seem to do the bounce around at the low end. It can take a week or two to bust it. Hopefully not more.

171.52 (77.8kg) today, so close yet so far!

173.4

I want out of this decade so badly because when I took my diet hiatus, I was at 170 (went up to 184) so I'm a little desperate to get to 169 and feel like I'm making progress.

Once I get there, I can relax a little more about my weight loss.

It can't come soon enough.

Still 170.8

173.8

Maui, you're so close!! I bet tomorrow is your day. I have a feeling.

Lostkitty, too very close.

Oh I think that feeling might just be indigestion, haha...I don't think there is any chance of 169 appearing on my scale tomorrow. If I were a betting woman I'd say 171.2 since that number has been plaguing me.

170.4

I expected a rise today, but a small drop instead! I'll take it. If only the bounce would stop!

I was 175.2 (again) yesterday, and then I went out for my bf's b-day with some people and we had very salty food, and I ate too much. 178.6 today. I was surprised that I put on that much weight (since I overate at dinner, but nothing crazy), then realized my TOM is due, well, yesterday. Hooray water weight.

I'm hoping to be out of the 170s by the end of the month or start of next month, now. Hopefully my current 'up' weight will help me drop down faster (sometimes that happens...sometimes really not).

You guys are all doing so great! Way to go! :yay:

173.4

Not really moving much.

170.2

175.0 I'm not pleased.

Penny, I've gone up with you. Swear words for me today. We will go down again. :)

Maui, we will be missing you here very soon.

169.8 today, but don't be pushing me off to another thread yet as I fully expect rebound bounces for a bit. Especially since I have to eat out today. Though I WILL make good choices, there is bound to be too much salt in the food and I'll likely have water weight to deal with.

173.5

:carrot::carrot: CONGRATULATIONS, MAUI!!!:carrot::carrot:

You did it.

If you bounce back up, I will be delighted to see you here, but you officially are in the 160s today.

I hope to see you in the other thread, if I ever make it out of of this one, lol.

173.8

I ate a bunch of PB&J last night. That won't help!

I was 169.8 again today. We'll see tomorrow.

I made it to my goal to get out of the 170's this week but barely!
169.97 (77.1kg)

176.0

This period is overdue, I'm so bloated and my weight is showing it. It can't come fast enough.

I'm selling off a bunch of clothes on eBay. (Didn't even bother trying to sell the shorts in the winter since most people aren't looking for sorts then, lol.) But once they're gone, I simply cannot gain weight because there will be no clothes to wear!

Congrats to lostkitty!

And more congrats to Maui!

I hope to join you in the 160s before you leave them. At this rate, I never will.

Congrats, MauiKai! Yay!

Back down to 174!

New here :) 179.8

Welcome to the 170s thread, ilovemo!

Ugh, back up to 176 today. WHAT IS HAPPENING? Seriously, I've never had a stall this long. It's so bizarre. I've heard of others having them, though. I'm going on vacation in a couple days, and hopefully that doesn't worsen my problem. It's driving me a bit crazy to not be moving down on the scale, and yet doing things right. I've started weighing every other day, which helps a bit with the mounting hysteria. ;)

Hey, ilovmo!

176.0

Argh. I kind of pigged out last night. I'm in this cooking/baking group, so once a month, I eat big. Salt, calories, whole bit.

That won't help with the 176.

I'm working out today.

Some of my clothes sold on eBay, so I can buy a couple new pairs, but at this rate, I'll never drop another size.

Frustrating.

Howdy...due to too much salt, after sitting at 169.8 for awhile I am making a brief foray back to 170. Yay! /sarcasm

174.6

Maui, salt is a beeyatch.

Penny, I get it and am there with you. :)

I'm so sick of these 170s that I have half a mind to starve these next few pounds off.

175.5 today.

Stripes, I have considered the same thing. Then I consider that I will inevitably overeat because I'm so hungry and gain them right back. ;)

Annnnnd it'll make maintaining or losing more nearly impossible.


169.2 today. Revenge of the salt over apparently.

Hello! I just weighed in at 179.4 this morning! I've been waiting for this moment for four weeks! The "1-7-?" just is so much better in my mind than "1-8-?"!
