I'll get there! I'm annoyed with myself for the bump but it's temporary. For sure!
I can't wait (and I'm sure you can't either, lol)!
Also, the second day of my French eating experiment is done and it again worked brilliantly. I had a square of dark chocolate but came in well within my calorie budget.
Congrats to all you losers.😄 Good to see some of you heading to the 140s thread.I am 149.6 today.My goal is 145 though I might make it 135.I could even go lower with my height.145 is a 100 pounds for me so that is why I picked it.I'm like Eagle River, I bump up and down.I was (before Mother's Day) a little lower.However, I had a birthday not long after and between two big celebrations I bumped up.Thankfully, I" m under 150 today and hoping for a swoosh soon.So thankful for losing this weight.Feel so much better.I have a some real stressors in my life right now so I am trying to breath deep, have faith and not think food will help.I can do this last 5 to 10 pounds.I have to keep believing it.I still love reading the board even when not posting.Congrats again to all of you heading down the scales!
Guess what? After two weeks at 160, I FINALLY dropped into the 150s! Now, hopefully I'm here for real, and I don't just bounce up in the next couple days.
This is the last leg of the road for me. I'm 5'10", so 150 will put me solidly in the middle range of BMI. When I weighed 200, 150 was unimaginably small, and now it feels attainable! I'm not sure if I'll actually stop there, but I figure the lowest I might try to stretch for would probably be 145. I'm looking and feeling awesome already, I'd just like to look a little... awesome-er.
Still, I'm kind of struggling with the question of "How do I know when to quit?". I'm positive I haven't reached the stopping point yet, but will I know it when I see it, or will I continually unfairly judge my body and constantly push to get to a lower weight? Sorry to poke my head in here and immediately ask probing questions, but do you guys have any thoughts on that?
In any case, HOORAY, I'm so happy to be here in the 150s thread!! Nice to meet you all!!
I've been on 152-154 forever I think. So much so that I've started ignoring those 1-2 lb fluctuations (plus or minus). It's so frustrating. It's like my fat loves me too much to let go of me!

I was stuck on 153 for like 6 weeks. It sucked. Not sure what causes plateaus, but just stay consistent on your efforts and you'll get past it.
Congrats, happynottsgirl! You've got some great progress going on there!
That "glorious post-TOM whoosh" I was excited about didn't actually happen. I got one day when I dropped a full pound, but since then I've been stalled in the 158.7-159.0 range. Frankly, though, this could be completely my fault. I've been eating extra carbs and calories for breakfast in the form of leftover pancakes all week. They were super good, though, and I don't regret a thing. Besides tasting good, they've had the effect of me not being starving again by 10:00, and they've killed a lot of my cravings for chocolate and other sweet foods (both of these have been annoying problems for several weeks). Now I'm out of the pancakes, so it's back to normal breakfast, but it was a good week, even without the whoosh I was hoping for. ^^
Same here for me, I started with calorie counting about a month ago. Was doing more 'healthy' eating at first, but the last days have spiraled into cookies/french toast for breakfast, ice cream snacks etc, it all fits into my calories but leaves me hungrier at night!
So I decided today I will go back to healthier, higher protein foods.
