150's group...daily updates

Bummer...can't work out like usual this morning...have to drop off a car at the shop with my husband and then have committments at my son's schools...

I hate getting off my routine...glad we have an elliptical...going to have to get on it tonight after the boy's hockey.

Goal today is to stick with 1200-1300 calories in case the workout doesn't happen....

Of course I woke up starving...going for the protien bar or the oatmeal...can't decide.

Good morning and have a great day all!

Munsey, Munsey, Munsey, Munsey, Munsey, *shaking head* don't worry, you're not alone.  I can't shake 150 to save my life. 

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one the 150's have captured and are holding for ransom.

No matter what I do, I will then get sick, or throw out my back, or have house guests, or go on vacation and I am trapped in my weight safety bubble.

Blah. 

OMG tooooo funny, foxy. I think I'm officialy stuck here. I may as well make myself comfortable huh? Truth? I only want to get to 155. That's it! So this IS my home. But for the life of me I seem to be stuck around 158. Come on spring. Spring may be my only hope. Nice to hear from you!! I've been away for awhile. Not logging for about a 2 months. Given that I'm not doing too badly.

Truth be told, I haven't been counting my calories either. I check everything, but don't log them. Maybe that's why we're not making any progress. But really, though, who wants to log everything?

Hi, foxylady and munsey. About not logging … I stopped logging several weeks ago and I started gaining again. I guess I just need that accountability! Time for me to stop the excuses (holidays, special occasions, being away from home, etc.) and just DO IT!

Who wants to log everything? I don't, but "you bite it, you write it" seems to be the only thing that works for me.

Have a great day!

Last night I went to dinner with friends and ate with wild abandon! So today I will be good and keep it healthy and moderate.

I'll be away from the computer most of the weekend, so I'll try to keep a small notebook to cc.

Are you ccing?

I wanted to introduce myself. I am ....new here to say the least...and new to actually *dieting* although I call this a lifestyle change, not a diet.

I am 25....gonna be 26 on the 20th.. 

Last thursday when I started this I weighed 160lbs.  Today is Wednesday April 2nd and I have already lost 2.2 lbs!!    I really didn't expect more than 1 lb so I am elated!!

height: 5'7"

CW: 157.8

GW: 135

So I am officially joining the 150 club!!!

EDIT:  April 11th.

CW: 156.2lbs (-1.6lbs)  It was an even 2lbs, but my husband was home for a week and he thinks he has to eat out multiple times, plus it was TTOM, so not bad.  Next month when he comes home I will do better at eating healthy despite his desire not to.  :]

Happy birthday to you!!!!

Hi,

I'm new here, and started at 157.  Hoping to be 125 by my wedding in september!!

 

Lindsay

Lindsay you can totally do it! 32 lbs is way doable in that time span.

Wanna tell a little more about yourself?

How old are you and how do you plan on losing? Where are you from?

Best wishes,

Amy

Hi ladies.

27, 5'7, 150-151lbs. 150 is so hard for me to break. I've been here since December. Agggg. One thing  I have to admit is that I haven't been exercising as much as when I was losing. I better get back to it!

Let's do it.

yeah i've been 151-152 since OCTOBER!!! It's driving me crazy!

Same here. Stuck in the 150-153 range since the beginning of the year. I am exercising a lot. I am not logging my food because I HATE to log food. But I am eating healthy and I don't feel like I am overeating.

Hm. It sounds like there's some magical barrier at 150. lol. I started my cardio again, but I haven't seen any results yet.

*sigh*

I also don't log my food anymore. I'm hoping it's got nothing to do with my plateau, but I'm starting to think it must. What do you all think?

Unfortunately, I think the food part of the equation may be why we can't break the plateau.  I just get so depressed that I have to eat less than I am eating  I have never taken my calories so low that it would affect my metabolism, so I can only conclude that my body is doing everything it can to resist losing more, by upping my appetite.  I am not gaining, and I may even be losing a bit of body fat and gaining muscle, but not enough!!!

Hello All,

I'm back and hopefully it'll be short term, not to say that I don't like this forum but it's such a sense of failure to have gained the weight back.  I've lost 5 lbs. so far and am now at 154 but I want to be in the mid 140s by the end of May.  Just stopping through to say hello and to stay encourage and maybe offer a little encouragement.

Hi Guys!

 

I just joined the community this morning. Cant believe what a supportive environment you've got here! So here is my story. Im 23yrs old, 5 4 , and 158lbs. I was in great shape over the summer and moved to a new town for a new job. Didnt know anybody and just ate and ate and now none of my clothes fit! In all Ive gained about 15lbs in 7months. - So my goal weight is 128 (suggested by doctor & personal trainer) Anyone here have a similar goal in mind?
