Congratulations Chunkalunkah! I'm back down to 152.4. Hope to meet you in the 140s by the end of the month.

[Chunkahlunkah]

That's great!

And thank you for the congrats!

I'm at 149.8 again today but I'm gonna wait until I'm at least a couple pounds into this decade before seeking out the 140s thread. I don't trust this as my new baseline yet.

[Slimmer me]

Finally down to 151.0. Perhaps in another week, I'll be done with the 150's.

[Slimmer me]

Getting there slowly. 150.8 today.

Nice, Slimmer Me!

After being at 149 a few days, I got sick. I'm taking antibiotics (almost done) and antihistimines (need to keep taking). My bump up could be from those. Im at 151.3 today. :sigh: I don't think I'll be back in the 140s by the end of this month. I'm gonna stay focused on good behaviors and keep faith that it'll be reflected on the scale eventually.

So looks like this thread is stuck with me for a while longer.

Hello everyone, new in this thread and 156 this morning.

After unexpectedly losing my job last year I gained nearly 20 pounds. At first I actually lost weight because for days I just couldn't bring myself to eat as I had a nervous breakdown.

Luckily, it didn't take me long to find a job and started work immediately but with a 3 hr commute. I have now moved closer to work and can walk 30 minutes to work. But during that time I was commuting I stopped working out and was eating out frequently, same during the move etc. This was also partly because I wasn't sleeping well until about two months ago as I was still processing the very negative circumstances of my job loss.

Anyway, now hoping to lose quickly My confidence has taken a hit recently as I was seeing this guy who now all of a sudden likes someone else and has said that he will get in a relationship with them soon, he asks me frequently about my workout and even once said he'd go to the gym with me, so I suspect my weight has put him off.

He still keeps in touch but I will keep him at a distance, he seems to still like me but wants to see if I lose the weight? Anyway, I want to lose the weight but certainly it won't be for him! Especially as he was dishonest in how things unraveled with this other girl while seeing me.

Here's to getting out of the 150s

[happynottsgirl]

I forgot to weigh in this morning.

I'm feeling content that I am getting a good routine in again. I am now walking to work most of the time - it is a 30 minute walk. I just hope the fall doesn't bring too much rain. I break a sweat, and it's a regular pace walk, not fast at all, which shows how out of shape I am!

I started using my fitness tracker and it motivates me.

The only issue I have now is that my sleep is not so good. It has gotten better but I am still waking up too early, and it takes me hours to fall asleep. It's affecting my work, but I hope that it gets better as I lose the weight and incorporate more exercise into my days.

155.0 this morning. I woke up hungry at 5 am though and had a nakd bar and some milk, so the actual morning number is probably 154.x!!!

[happynottsgirl]

Looks like I'm all alone here, but will keep this going!!!

This morning I am 153.6!!! I ran yesterday (15K) and that obviously contributed to it.

Can't wait to get into the escaping the 140s thread!!

[happynottsgirl]

154.2 this morning, but I had a terrible night, barely any sleep and kept waking up hungry.

Will take it easy today, and hope to see a 153.x tomorrow morning again.

Guy I mentioned in another post has now put photos on facebook with his new girl, ah feeling a bit down.

[happynottsgirl]

154.8 this morning. I can't believe how hard it is to lose just one pound...even after eliminating greasy take out from my diet! Anyway, gotta keep it up, and this morning I will hit the gym and try to run a 5k before work

[MorningGlory1950]

I would like to join in, too.

157.7 yesterday. This is the first time that it seems like forever to get out of this decade! One day, one week at a time.

I am trusting the process!

woohoo! Welcome!


We have similar stats, what is your strategy?

I think this a high weight on us and shouldn't be so difficult to get it off...I remember the last time I lost the weight, was doing 90 minutes walk almost everyday but did not pay too much attention to my diet, and that was enough to get down to 130!


This morning I was 154.8. Hoping to hit the gym today. Yesterday ran 5k in the morning.

[MorningGlory1950]

happynottsgirl~ Thanks for the welcome! I am using Wonderslim products. I have been binge free for 27 days!
I lost a lot the first two weeks, mostly water weight, then stalled the third and then 1.3 the fourth.
I am not really doing too much exercise, problems with ankle and back at the moment. So we shall see.

I weigh myself once a week, usually Friday or Saturday (whichever day I feel the lightest!)

One day at a time. I just keep telling myself: "I am strong and I am able."

Good luck to you!

thanks!

that's a long binge-free streak, nearly a month! Keep it up,

155.2 this morning, higher than I expected must have been the bread I had yesterday.

Will try to hit the gym today.
