Welcome and Congrats. Good Job!!!! :carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot:

Phaedra: I just noticed you are 5'10". The 170s probably look amazing on you. I'm only 5'7" and would be perfectly happy staying in the 170s for the rest of my life. In fact, when I started this journey, I told myself if I could just get into the 180s and stay there, I'd be perfectly happy with that. So don't be too hard on yourself. Holding in the 170s is pretty darn good.

Vicki: You're rocking it. Way to go getting to the 170s.

Lacerta

I see youre at 167. At the rate youre going you just might make goal by Thanksgiving.

Don't worry about me. Im just complaining here because I don't have anybody to complain to IRL. Also cause I didn't even get to eat anything bad and I gained eating low carb low calorie no fun stuff. I mean if I had a pie or a few cookies I would have expected it.

I don't know about amazing but I was doing okay with where I was at. I thought I could relax a little. But I guess not. If I want to stay in the 170's I will have to stay vigilant. I know how it works. A few pounds here. A few pounds there. Next thing you know youre in the next size up and then the next and then the next. :dizzy: :dizzy:

This new weight is not staying. Im back to counting. Also I need to move more. Its end of season so my yard work will be dwindling after the fall clean up. Also theres been an upsurge in Dr visits for the husband so Ive been spending a lot of my time sitting on my butt in waiting rooms.

175.6

Hi there! Can I join this thread? I am 178 and hoping to be out of the 170's by jan 1.

Hoping to join the thread soon! Have worked my way out of the 200s and 190s. Am at 189ish for two days in a row. May be a longer ride in the 180s due to Christmas, but am hoping to be in this thread within a few months!

Good job VickieLou. Youre making good progress.

Welcome Eloragrace. :carrot::carrot:

eAnna hopefully it wont be long before youre out of the 180's.




Christmas can be tuff with all those Christmas cookies calling our names. How well I know. Every year I make holiday gift baskets for shut ins and others. I am known for my tasty cookies and cakes. This year I am only making cakes. No cookies. There has been much grousing and whining from the housemate. Sorry. I am not going to spend weeks making tons of cookies that I cant eat. And we all know that if theyre here I WILL eat them. I just got my weight back down and I don't need to be tempted. Besides he doesn't need them. He is 150+ overweight and has Diabetes and CHF and a host of other ailments.

Restarted my weight loss in mid Oct 2019 after my honeymoon.

SW: 195 lbs.
CW: 172.2 lbs.

Can't wait to be out of the 170s! I'm already wearing clothes I haven't fit into in years!

Ive been managing to stay in the 170's so far. Just barely. If I relax on the calorie counting at all it creeps up. Then I buckle down it goes down. Rinse Repeat. Today it was 179.2. Looks like tomorrow will be a low cal day. I dont want to be back in the 180's . Again. :( AAACK

Anybody else struggling to maintain.

I know it says 173.4 for current weight but I just cant bring myself to change it. Maybe tomorrow the scale will say something nicer.

Phaedra, I've been creeping on this thread for over a month. I cannot wait to see 179.9! That said, best of luck to you! At my rate, you and VickieLou will be out of this thread before I get in!

Thanks VickieLou. You on the other hand are making great progress. Wont be long before youll be leaving us for the 160's and GW. Ive been working at limiting my calories. Im at 177.6 this am.

shellofself. Hope to see you soon. At the rate shes going it wont be long before VickieLou is out of here. I will probably be here for a while. If I can maintain low 170's Ill be happy. I was shooting for 160's so when I gained I would still be okay.

Riesz Welcome and good luck on your journey. Im wearing older stuff too. Not as much as I would like though. Old age has caused some shifting. :)

Congratulations, VickieLou! :wave: Meanwhile, I just inched my way into this thread :lol: Second day under 180! I'll likely be between the two threads until my body stabilizes. The 180s were brutal for me. I'm bracing myself for an even more difficult 170s. :dizzy:

One month later and I'm still very much in the 170s. But being at home for the last 2+ weeks has made weight loss difficult, so I'm calling maintenance a win!

At 177.6 this AM. :)

Good luck everyone!

:welcome3: KStrong! Good Luck, Everyone!

I'm not here yet, but I wanted to BUMP this thread up so it can be seen :D

:jig:

Looks like you're still going strong, KStrong!! Congratulations! I saw 179.2 this AM ... haven't been here since March so it feels good to finally have some movement. :D My goal is to be out of this thread come January 1, 2021! :cp:

10 kg goal

This morning, I went intense

KStrong I'm just trudging along, slowly but surely! Some days I do better than others. Sounds like you're holding strong to the 160s! Congratulations!! That's huge! Hoping to be in your shoes in December. :D Btw where is the 160s thread?? I'm still over 175 so not going in any time soon, but it'd be good to know! (176.2 this am)

Honestly, I figured it would start getting harder/slowing down around this weight. Ive yet to break out of the 170s in a decade, so for me, that will be a HUGE achievement that I'm trying to push towards and hope that the motivation gets me through the holidays.
