160's club

I didn't see a 160's club so I decided to start one. I'm in need of some motivation to keep the weight loss going!

I lost 30 pounds last fall but I've been completely slacking the past few months and ended up gaining a few pounds back.

I NEED to keep losing!

I weighed in at 168 this morning. My first goal is to get to 150. I'm 5'4" and I'd like to ultimately get to 130-135lbs.

 

Anyone else want to join me in the 160's club? (hopefully not for too long!) :)

Yahoo!  171.6 this morning!  I'll take it!

 

Congrats on your .5 loss!

Can't write a ton though, because I have a huuuge pile of work on my desk >_<

Hope everyone is having a good day!

 

 

Okay, an update.

I haven't weighed because I've been in another state visiting family. But, because I've been stressed out dealing with my Mother, suddenly alot of foods that I would have avoided like the plague have become "okay".

I've tried to exercise a little bit, but I just feel so miserable around certain family members.  The guilt trips, the pressure, and neediness, and the drama.  It's driving me crazy, and it's back to the days when the only real relief I had came from food...

I guess what I'm realizing is.  Moving 4 states away from my family made it alot easier to lose weight...lol.  Glad I'm going home today, sorry to say ..but going to need a week of being strict to make up for this damage.

aeao ~  I'm like that around my mother too.  She totally stresses me out! 

My back has gotten really bad and well, lets just say, I haven't eaten well in the last 3 days. Today I'm back on track. 

I weighed myself this am and weighed 177!  YIKES!  I was weighing in the 173 area.  I know I couldn't have gained 4 lbs of fat in 3 days....or could I?  Anyways, I'll make sure to drink lots of water (which I wasn't doing either) and hope that the 4 lbs go away.

I can't exercise for a while, I have to get this back issue under control again and get the spasms to stop.  VERY painful!!!

Well, I can't sit any longer.  I'll check in tomorrow.  :D

I'm not weighing until Friday! I'm horrified to get on the scale. Maybe if I eat strictly all this week I can pretend it didn't happen. I had a 5-day break from my diet while down visiting. ugh!

I hope your back feels better soon, at least you have a decent excuse. I have no excuse, I just cracked under pressure. I had such a horrible day dealing with my Mom that when my brother had his head in the fridge "Hey, want a beer?".."Sure".. Or when he was making hot cocoa (26g carbs), "Sure".. 2nd cup? "Sure"..

Anyhoo, I bought some pants today. I bought some petite 14's that I can barely, barely squeeze into.. and some 12's that are my *Goal* pants. It's so hard to find good work pants that don't need to be dry cleaned, so I took advantage!

Tomorrow is my official weigh in.  I know it's not going to be a good one. Oh well....I'll get thru this.  I always do.  I need to cut back on the calories though. I ate 1600 today, I shouldn't have. I'm so use to eating that amount that 1200-1300 seems so little. And I'm hungry at that amount. How sad....

I'm glad I don't drink. I don't have to worry about that.  I drink "diet" hot chocolate that has 25 calories per packet. I add alittle equal to it to sweeten it up. I drink it all year round. I guess it's like my coffee! lol

You'll be into those 12's in no time!  You'll be surprised how fast they'll fit. I had these one pair of jeans I kept trying on from when I had lost weight before.  Now they're too big for me.  I need to buy a pair of 10's to work towards.  Maybe then I'll do better.

I slept most of the day away. Those darn pills make me sleepy! I hope I can sleep when it's time to sleep! lol

Talk to ya tomorrow!  G'Nite! 

Okay, I didn't weigh in this morning. But I am going to tomorrow. I think I've eaten reasonably healthy, so hopefully it won't be awful. I haven't worked out super-hard though, I barely broke a sweat at Curves and I skipped my DDR workout today because we had company coming over. It's so hard to workout when it's freezing outside and all you want to do is huddle up under your bedsheets. My apartment has NO insulation.. it was built in the 1800's =x

Oh well, hopefully I can give some good news tomorrow!!

I hope your weigh-in went well too Momof2funykds!

Well, if you remember I was up to 177 lbs.  Well this morning.....174.0 even!!!!  Yeah!!!  Now trying to get to 170 lbs.  Hope I can get there by next Friday.  That would be nice.  I'm getting use to the 1200 calories finally.  It was tough cutting back so far.

Hope you're weigh in goes well!  Let me know how you do!  :)

Okay, I ate really strictly tue/wed/thur.. and most of Fri.. kind of slipped up late, late last night at IHOP eating a few carbs..My habitual "saying-no" wasn't as strong after cheating in Florida. I did manage not to eat the rice that came with my thai-dinner though.

but.. 172.6 this morning... That's less scary than I thought.. I can kind of pretend it didn't happen, but I've pretty much stayed stagnant with my goals for 2 weeks.. blah

A pound isn't bad at all.  It's a new week, so we have to move forward now. What are your goals for this week? 

Here are mine:  Drink 3, 32 oz bottles of water every day

       &nb sp;               &nb sp;   Stick to 1200 calories/day

       &nb sp;               &nb sp;    Take it easy so my back will get better

I think the water-goal is a good one. I was trying to drink 60 oz's of water a day, and I was losing..but that tapered off.

So, my goal for this week:

60 oz of water a day.

No/Low Carbs at Dinnertime.

Those are really my biggest crutches. Sometimes I'll buy a bottle of water at work but forget to drink it, and Dinner is my hardest meal decision. I've (thankfully) gotten into a breakfast/lunch habit that's healthy and enjoyable. I do the slim-fast shake, and then have my whole-wheat sub & coffee for lunch. It's the later night.. saying no to pizza, or warm, soft bread.. or the rice that comes with my meal.. or not eating the rice I make for my fiance.. or to warm.. soft bread.

Tonight I did well at dinner.. I had a panera salad and a cup of creamy tomato soup.. it came with a hunk of bread, and I handed it over to my fiance who is calorie sensitive (and not carb-sensitive like me). He can eat bread all day and still lose weight!! (growl!)

This is the 2nd time I'm trying this.  The one before this just disappeared off the screen! 

I've been ddrinking 4, 32oz bottles of water a day!!!  I think it's really helping me to get these extra pounds off. 

On the 21st I weighed 174 and today I'm at 172!!!!  So the numbers are coming back down again.  I jsut want to get to 170 and I'll be happy there until my back gets back to "normal", my normal.  :)  I'll always have pain, but it's not so bad that I can't exercise some.  I'm missing the exercise now. 

It's gonna be tough when I can finally get back to it.  It'll be like starting over.

Good for you on passing on the bread!  I know that was hard for you.  I'm a big bread eater too.  I like sandwiches. I can make a sandwich out of anything I eat.  I really like spaghetti sandwiches!  lol

Hope you did ok today.  Last night hubby gave me a "whatchamacallit" candy bar and I ate it!  I still lost weight too!  I should'nt have told him I liked them when he said he got it for my son. Oh well....

ttys!

At work, can't type long.

Was at 171.6 yesterday, 172.4 today.  I'm blaming water weight!

You were 172.6 the other day. So maybe the 171 was a fluke!  lol  That 171 will come and stick.  It's hard to make a new low stick.  I know it is for me.

I'm 173.0 today.  I was 172.4 the other day.  Maybe I'll see it again tomorrow.

It's snowing like crazy here!  The roads are alittle icy as well.  It looks so pretty outside with all the trees covered. They said our snow is coming from Canada over the Great Lakes.  That usually gives us a good amount of snow.

So I've stayed in all day and enjoyed the view out of my windows!  Looks like I need to get some bird food and some corn for all the birds.  They need fed too!

Stoppin' in to say Happy Thanksgiving! 

'll be on tomorrow off and on through the day.  I have lots to cook tomorrow morning!  I can't wait.  I'm baking my pies tonight and boy does my house smell good! Mmmmm

 

I have to give myself a "pat" on the back for today!  I did good!  I took only small portions of everything I wanted and NO 2nds.  And noone asked if I wanted more!  I think everyone is use to the cutting back I've been doing now for over a year.

I got lots of "You look good!" comments, so I'm happy.

I'll be back tomorrow!  c-ya!

That's awesome!!

I did not do so great, my fiance's Mom cooked tons of goodies for everyone, so I'll need to work hard next week.

I did the black friday experience for the first time this year, and.. if I choose to believe I'll actually cash in my rebates, I saved $195!  I might actually have an advantage to Christmas this year with getting a jump on the shopping!

 

Have you weighed yourself yet to see how much"damage" was done? lol  It's ok.  Hey, there's only one Thanksgiving a year!  Thank goodness! I weighed myself this morning....174 lbs.  BUT it's TTOM now, so I always have that extra water weight.  I just might have lost some weight over Thanksgiving.  How great is that?!?!?!

I heard on tv this morning that there was someone trampled to death at a WalMart in NY.  Come on!  There isn't anything worth that!  And noone stopped to help the person either!  How horrible!

Saving $195 is worth the effort of sending in the rebates.  You gotta go thru with them.

Yeah I heard about the Wal-Mart thing.  Crazy =/

I weighed in this morning at 173.5.. I was setting myself up to see like 176 or 178, so at 173.5 I felt a little relieved, believe it or not.

Tomorrow I'll be back at work and back on the routine though, so hopefully I can move back in the swing of things.

 

All in all, to jump back on the Christmas thing.. I'm feeling.. I don't know..anxious, about Christmas shopping.  I feel like the weeks are melting away faster and faster and faster.. It feels like just yesterday it was April and I was watching the pear tree's downtown bloom.  Now I'm scraping my car with a snow-claw.. argh!  I feel like, in a blink, Christmas will be here.. so I need to get all of my shopping out of the way ASAP!

There just seems like so much to do, and so little time.. I'm freaking out and it's barely December.. haha

Dec 1st....already!  I know what you mean about how time flies when you want it to slow down a bit!  I haven't bought a thing, not one single thing yet!  I use to buy things all year round then I stopped for some reason.  Maybe money! lol  But, I should do that again. 

Weighed in today.....170.something.  I forget what that number is!  Here comes the 160's.....finally!  I've been waiting for this forever it seems. I have 169 in my sights now....watch out here I come! lol

I'll be back tomorrow.  G'nite!

 

I'm still 170 and holding!  lol  So I stuck it!  I'm very happy.  :)

Where is everyone?  What ya'all doing?
