This is my first post on these forums. I started alternate day fasting last week. So far I feel like it's a good fit for me psychologically and I haven't been as naughty as I thought I would be on feasting days. No matter how I've tried in the past, I can't seem to get below 160. I'm hoping it will be different this time! With Thanksgiving coming up I'm a little worried about falling off the wagon
I see this thread has been abandoned for a long while, but I just got back on 3FC. I'm hoping it'll pick back up, but if not I'll at least have a record of what's up with me as I try to escape the 160s over the next few weeks. ^u^
I've been tracking calories since January 14 and as of today I weigh 166. I'm not hyper focused on weight loss this time around, going at it very slowly and casually to make it an effort I can sustain long term.
Hi, I am new to the forum.I am currently between 164 and 166.I started at 245 so I am thrilled to get here.My weight loss has slowed a bit as I get closer to goal and I thought it would be good to have some support.I am trying to get to about 145. It looks like there may only be one other 160s poster but maybe we can encourage each other.My goal this week is to try to get some exercise in at least three times and try to stay in my calorie range.
Miracle2617 - Hi! We can keep each other company if nobody else comes to hang out. It can be a bit demoralizing when you see the weight loss slow, but that's only cause you're winning! And we have to be mindful pretty much forever if we don't want to regain (which I have. Oops. Lol) so slow and steady will totally win the race.
Hi, Hope you are doing well tinneranne. I was 164.6 today.The 160s are going slow.I just have to keep trying.Stressful week.Food was within calorie range today.No exercise though.
Im on holiday in Korea for a week so I don't have access to a scale, I'm hoping I can maintain at 165 for the duration. I don't exercise in general, but I've been tracking my calories. Flying seems to make me puffy though, so who knows.
Sorry to hear your week has been stressful. hopefully you have a chance to decompress soon.
Yay for better days. I'm going back home to Beijing tomorrow afternoon so it'll be easier to make less calorie-dense choices. Being a vegetarian in Korea is even more difficult than in China, so I ate more pizza/pasta/bread than I usually do at home. I went over on my calories a couple days but I think my highest was like 1800? Shouldn't have done significant damage.
Hi, If you were on vacation and stayed at 1800 that is great.I was at 163.4 this morning, but I spurlged a little at a superbowl party so yesterday I was probably over calories.I am so looking forward to getting to the 150s.We can do it!
Funny story: I managed to completely forget the superbowl was this weekend. I knew who was playing and everything because of Facebook but didn't realize it was happening so soon. I am back to 166 somehow, which really ticks me off. I'm hoping it's some plane related bloat (which may be a thing I'm making up entirely. Lol)
You are so close! You'll be into the next thread in no time!
Hello guys! I'll be joining you. I just left the 170's last night (although I may bump back up there time to time) so I'm ready to join the 160's crew! Let's do this!!
Hi butterflies! Welcome to the 160s! It's a pretty exclusive club, apparently. Lol.
I am looking to be a permanent resident of the 160s at the moment, though things are going in the right direction again after my vacation. I'm 164.6 today. Yay! Honestly I weigh myself in KG but I convert it for folks here (and also bc I like to see the numbers go down faster. Lolol)
Miracle, how's it going? You recover from the Super Bowl party?
