Getting out of the 170's! The NEW new thread!
 

Ok, ladies let's get out of this decade! :carrot::carrot::carrot:

Ok.... sorry for the lousy name... not very inspired, had a somewhat lousy day too. I'm at 171.9 today and hoping to see a new low this weekend, but will be ok if it takes a bit more time. Resisted overeating at a pot luck today, which is great. How are you doing, ladies?

Thanks for starting a new thread!

Things are good here...down to 174...just surpassed my lowest adult weight...and now less than TEN POUNDS to my 100 pound lost goal! Hope all is well with you! You're nearly in the 160s yourself! :carrot:

Just had a huge 5000 calories binge. Ugh!

So sorry to hear that, Marina! Do you know what triggered it? Did you actually count up the calories? The only reason I'm asking is because lots of times I've *thought* I ate something like 5000 calories, but when I actually calculated it up, it was closer to 2500/3000. Which is still a pound gained, but I felt a little better. Don't be too hard on yourself! We all make mistakes, but it's good when we can learn from them. Like what was the trigger and how you can avoid a situation like that in the future!

I guess my incredible desire to eat all things triggered it! Lol! I was not restricting nor having a bad day, so no idea.... i didn't count calories, that's a wild. 5000 may be low.... you see, i ate A LOT... i don't know why this happened. I think i just lost control for no special reason!

That happens to all of us sometimes! Hopefully you can get back on track today and still have a good week!

I've been AWOL for a bit, still doing the up down thing in the 170's Today I weighed in at 176.6 Hoping to settle down and be able to post more than I have been

Welcome back, lotsakids! Hopefully your ups and downs will be more DOWNS soon! :D

I have to say that for whatever reason, I am killing it this week. I'm down to 173 today, already a little over 2 pounds down for the week. I *never* lose 2 pounds a week any more. Hooray! In 2 weeks, I'm going back home, to visit people who haven't seen me since I weighed about 220. My goal is to hit the 160s by my trip (weekend of November 14th). FINGERS CROSSED!

How are you all doing today? Marina, are you having a better eating day today?

Yay Frances! You're on fire! ;)

Today i'm eating healthier and after two pills, no migraine! Yay! No pain! Normal life again!

Okay, I'm calling it for the week at 172. I lost 3.4 pounds this week, something I haven't done since FEBRUARY. I'm not sure why I'm having this sudden amazing loss - my food and exercise are exactly the same. Oh, well, I'll take it! :D

Marina, I'm so sorry about your migraines! I used to get them too, usually 4 hours after a workout. My doctor put me on Imitrex, which ripped up my stomach. I did my own research online and read that caffeine helped. I tried it and it totally worked for me. Every morning before a workout, I take 1/2 caffeine pill - about 100 mg - equivalent to the caffeine in 1 cup of coffee. Migraines gone. I will still get them if I'm in bright sunlight too long, or if I'm super super stressed, but it's nothing like before - maybe one every few months now. I don't know if that might work for you? Anyway, glad to hear your normal eating is back! :)

Wow Frances! Stuck at 175 today. But it is okay at least it isn't up.

Just checking in to see how you all did with Halloween! I had ONE cookie and ONE small cupcake with most of the icing removed...stuck to my calorie range...worked out...still holding steady at 172. Big relief!

Hope you're all doing well!

Okay, this thread is kind of dead, but I'm still going to check in every week. Helps hold me accountable. I'm down .2 this week, for which I'm profoundly grateful, it being TOM and having had such a huge drop last week (3 1/2 pounds). Only 7 pounds until 100 pounds gone forever!

Hey Frances! Do you remember when you said i was going through the 170's really fast? Not anymore. Now it seems i'm stuck again. Maybe the pattern is that i go fast on the first half of the decade and then get stuck on the second. I'm at 174.2. My weight won't go up, which is great, but i seem to mess up every day. Small binge-like moments have been happening a lot. Sometimes i think i'm just tired of being on weight-loss-mode. Sorry, i feel like i keep posting negative thoughts...
