Welcome brd88, I'm not weighing in this week for TOM but I just wanted to say hi before you already go! LOL you are really moving along there! Congrats!

Thanks for the welcome and congrats, bloomin! I also don't weigh during TOM so I totally get you! I just started intuitive eating so I probably won't be weighing as often, since I'm sure my weight will bounce quite a bit, but we'll see!

3/16 - 163.6
3/17 - 163.2
3/18 - 162
3/19 - 161.6
3/20 - 161.8
3/21 - 161

2 pounds, please leave!!! :goodvibes

Hey brd88 and whomever may be around,

Didn't think I'd make my goal this week because of the TOM/bloating, but just managed to pee out (sorry) enough to make my goal this morning and I can see I've also lost some fat most likely! I now weigh 165.4, woohoo! Next week's goal is 165 or less. I can't wait to have my first official 5 lbs lost!

Great job on meeting your goal, bloomin!
I have no idea what I weigh because I tried to start IE and somehow ended up on a 3-day binge. I doubt very seriously that I am anywhere near where I was on 3/21. :( I have moved to weekly WIs, so I will face the music on Sunday.

3/16 - 163.6
3/17 - 163.2
3/18 - 162
3/19 - 161.6
3/20 - 161.8
3/21 - 161
3/26 - 161

I am VERY surprised! I didn't think I would be anywhere near 161 this morning! I'm so happy!
2 pounds to go! Hopefully they will be gone by next Sunday!

Hello!! Lost my first official 5 lbs, one week before the end of my seasonal deadline! :cheer:

I feel very proud of my first 5 lbs here. I'm also celebrating because my BMI just dropped to the 27's! :D:angel: I've really been such a good girl lately.

I did some new measurements. It seems like I've lost a lot, which makes me wonder if there was excess water involved last time. I did try to measure exactly the same, but there is a chance I suck at this too.

I lost 1 inch from my hips, 2 inches from the waist, and 1 inch off the bust.

I never thought I'd be happy about my bust shrinking, but I'm so glad to be a 34DD instead of a 34 DDD. It opens up way more options when it comes to bra styles because it's a "normal" size. The waist shrinking that much is a little shocking, but I'm so glad!

Congrats, bloomin! That is awesome!!!
I have yet to begin measuring. I don't have a tape measure anyway, and I KNOW I would suck at it. Once I'm not super embarrassed by myself, I will get my fiance to do it.
I am also a busty girl, so I totally know what you mean! It would be nice to be able to pick up those $20 bras in Target instead of having to spend $$$ at Maidenform or Soma!

Wow that's great news! :o I'm happy for you!

I'm not sure if I do it right...but I think I am ok with it. Like for the hips I don't think I actually measure around my hips, I do it around my fat tire lol. I just want the widest part. But it's soo wide. According to the US clothing chart 43 inch hips should be in a 16, but I wear very unforgiving cotton levi in size 14 and they fit very comfortably. My fat tire smooshes when I put on pants and distributes to a smaller size lol.

Sorry if I'm making you sick rofl

New Here :)
 

Hi, everyone!

Is there room for one more in this group? I'm new to the site. Just finished my period today, so will weigh in tomorrow morning. I'm guessing I'm around 164. Hoping to hit 150 by mid-June :)

Welcome, J! There is always room here!
And bloomin, I know exactly what you mean! I can smoosh my fat into a size 8 pair of jeans if it's high-waisted. So sad. I would love to be able to wear regular size 8 jeans, but my hips and butt are determined to stay in a 10!!!

*sneaks back in quietly*
 

Bloomin, miracle, and brd: Thank you for the well wishes! Married life is...exactly like unmarried life so far. Lol. I fell off the radar for a bit because I got frustrated with not losing weight and got a little busy/lazy and stopped counting calories for a few weeks. Looks like everyone has been killing it in my absence though!

brd, I nearly missed your entire run with us in the 160s! You're sooooo close to escape. Also, squeezing into a size 8? My envy is so real! At 5'8 and 145 (my lightest weight a few years ago) I was barely making it into a size 10. I am exceedingly squishy though. Lolol

Bloomin , 5lbs gone!!! Wooooooooo. That's badass. Little milestones really make the difference in keeping motivation alive. Congrats!

Jandg, welcome. The 160s is like jello, we've always got room.

My weight today: 161.4 ...so at least my time off wasn't a total backslide. :)

Glad to see you back tinneranne! I missed you! Hope your wedding was wonderful, and impressive to not backslide like that!

Ugh, today I got on the scale and got 166.4, I'm not sure how my weight has gone up so much in just two days. My bf made me dinner last night and I suppose it was pretty salty, but maybe that's an excuse xD. The funny thing is he gave me leftovers so I have enough chicken and asparagus for two more nights and since I'm too busy with an evidence based research paper to be cooking...so that is what I'll be eating! :lol::dizzy: At this point I need to lose almost 2 lbs by next week so I'm stressing a bit. Going on calorie lock down, making sure I am 100% never over eating, and probably won't be drinking this weekend unless I see a lb drop by Thursday :/.

My lord my life has been a mess on research paper brain.

Yesterday I thought it was Tuesday for half the day (including when I wrote the post above) and then I must have switched back to Wednesday without realizing it. I wore my bra I usually only wear mon-tues (I'm a nerd) and took my birth control from the totally wrong hole.

Anyway, as far as my scale goes the numbers were stuck AGAIN =_=. My stupid scale needs to be reset every week it seems, it gets stuck on numbers. Anyway, so I reset my scale and I got 165 lbs =_=. I probably didn't even weigh 166.4 lbs yesterday. :mad::mad: I thought it was so weirdly impossible I was gaining that much water weight out of nowhere. I should have tried resetting it yesterday.

I forgot about it. Saturday night I got 166.2 lbs which I thought was really weird, then I got 166.2 lbs Sunday morning...which I was like no f***ing way that's possible so I reset it. Same thing happened again. :devil: my demonic scale...

So yeah I'm having a drink this weekend, you best believe it. :hat:

Tinneranne: Congrats on your marriage! My wedding date is set for September 2018, and it seems so far but so close! We're already living together, so I doubt married life will seem vastly different from unmarried life for me, too!
I just joined 3FC not too long ago, so that is why it seems like you've missed me! I also have been struggling massively with binging lately (I have BED), so I likely am not leaving this thread anytime soon. I am pretty squishy at the moment, too, so you don't want none of this! :lol:

bloomin: are you in grad school? What are you studying? I'm starting a community psychology doctoral program in the fall, and I would love to have someone to talk to about losing/maintaining weight while in school. I have yet to accomplish this! Sorry you're having such a struggle with the scale. That sounds SO annoying. Is there a gym or someplace nearby where you can weigh instead of using your own?
