WEIGH IN FOR 5'6"ish 168ish GROUP. New Members WELCOME!

Starting off at 166. That's what the scale said this morning and eventhough I think the scale is a lying bastard, that is the number I am going with for first weigh in.

And my measurements were actually surprising this morning. 38' bust, 32' waist, 41.5 hips. surprising in that, I actually thought they would be higher. Huh. who knew? I mean, still needs work, obviously, but not as much as I thought. I measured arms and thighs too, but I don't remember what it was.

So how's everyone else doing today?

159.6! This may be a temporary loss, but I'll take it! :)

Hi  my name is Karenn and just liek the rest of you ladies im tryin to losee the flab!

this summer I went from 154- 168! and that where I am right now 168 =(

Im trying to get down to about 140 for my birthday in Feb!

I will post my measurmnets up on friday.

Have a good week everyone!

Alright, It is Friday - official weigh in day. I am claiming 158 this week, eventhough that's not exactly what my scale said this morning. Since my scale jumps around like a freakin yoyo, I just take the lowest score and consider it a win.

I also measured this week and it seems the only place that I've made a dent is in my boobs!! I'm almost down to a 35 inch bust, which is...I don't know, I guess I'll take a loss from wherever it wants to come from, but I'd still rather have it coming off of my jello jiggle gut.

Alright, your turn (s)!

159.4! Had a mild plateau then lost like 3 pounds in a week. I love when that happens.

As of this morning I am 164

SW: 176

CW: 164

GW: 135

Waist: 31

Hips: 41

Bust:34 

awesome, guys! Congrats!

I am claiming 173 this week.  I did a little better motivation wise but not great.  That's 1.5 lbs.

Naturallyd-I am exactly the same- I have lost 27 lbs and I have not changed pant size but I have lost 2 bra sizes.   The one and only place I would like to keep.   Whats up with that? 

Keep it up!!!!!

I know, it's annoying, right? I guess once we completely lose our breasts, the weight will have to come off from somewhere else...

Well I am back!!!

I had my surgery and sit in at about 159ish....maybe a bit less.......Im not gonan lie I let lose and ate pretty much whatever I wanted during recovery....I mean it was hard not too being couped up all day for two weeks....and it was slightly depressing at first....a piece of me was gone...

As for the results, well....they are smaller I guess and firmer and more perky, but they are still big to me.

Nevertheless I am happy that I got it done....and now Im setting a new goal for myself. I hope to get into great shape in time for my birthday! Which is Feb 25!

In the last couple days Ive been trying on tons of old shirts of mine that I thought I would never be able to wear because of the size of my chest.....including my bikini tops!! OMG they fit!! I dont know what I was thinking when I bought them, because they never fit in the first place....it must have been wishful thinking. Now they fit nicely and I see myself being able to even go SWIMMING soon haha...something I havent done since I was like 13.....lol

SO I would like to work on the rest of my body now, because my birthday is coming quick! Also, being I cant do any lifting for 6-8 weeks......Im gonna have to try and do something to lose the weight in time for my birthday.

I know today I packed a healthier lunch consisting of a salad, fruit cup, bag of grapes and some soup and some V8. I have to slowly try and ween myself off of the fatty and high sugar foods, which Ive been consuming for the past 2 weeks.....

...and being the christmas holiday is approaching along with the cold months (well.....In Canada I guess haha-stupid cold weather) Im bound to want lots of comfort foods such as warm yummy pizza, chile and pastas! ..........and chocolates...............damn chocolates........

Anyway! I guess I just gotta focus.....the key to weightloss is 90% diet 10% excercise! So this stat kind of works out in my favour since I have a handicap for the next while....

I put a new picture up of my boobies...NO they arent naked!....Im actually wearing my little black dress that DID NOT fit a few months ago.... 

I think they are  decent size and in the end it will motivate me even more to push harder to meet my goal for my birthday!

How is everyone doing??

Wow, Tinka! You look great in the pictures! I'll be right there with you in that goal. I am 158 now and am trying to get to 135 by Spring. Weigh in's tomorrow!

Thanks so much naturallyd!!

That is great! Thats where I want to be around as well!! It was orginially for the summer.......I would like to be about 130-135 lbs...... which is totally achievable.... getting there for by feb? Im not too sure....especially since there isnt a whole lot I can do besides minor cardio..... I guess thats where the foods I eat will make all the difference!

Congrats Tinka-you look great!!!!  

I want to be about 140 but I am not even halfway there yet.  Down to 171 today.  I have 8 more pounds and I will have lost half of what I want.  I guess the half way point is a good mini goal.

Next week will be a little hard but one day of overeating will not totally kill us.  I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and enjoys absolutely everything. 

I won't be around a computer next Friday but I will post on Monday.

Take Care and have a good holiday.

Hey Everybody,

 I'm having trouble staying and getting motivated. I need some way to check in everyweek and to get food ideas and just to talk about my struggles. I am 5'3 (well pushing that a little bit lol) and i currently weigh 170. I'm 23 and have just let myself go since being in a long term relationship. I would love to get back to feeling and looking better...can I join here to talk? and weigh in?

Thanks...Brit

Hey Brit-

definitely, welcome! I know how it is when you get comfortable in a relationship. I just started one myself and it has led me to be a little more lax with what I eat. Though I am keeping up the exercise, which is good, but it's nice to let go and let someone spoil you with a nice dinner and drinks every now and then. We weigh in on Fridays. Some of us do the scale and measurements. We'd love to have you join.

good luck!

Thank you so much. I will be weighing in every friday too. I am soo excited. It is soo hard. He as well has put on 40+ pounds..but it doesn't bother him like it does me. Neither of us cares how big we are but I just don't feel as good, and he is still very active as I am not. I got an office job and it has just gone down hill lol. I started a food diary and when i saw exactly what i was eating, it just about made me sick. Well that's enough of that...

...thank you for being soo welcoming...

Goodbye 170's-  Hello 160's  Yea!!!  I finally hit 169.  I have been in the 170's for almost 2 months.  Finally I broke this plateau I've been in for months.  Oh and I have passed the halfway mark.  I have lost 30 pounds and only have 29 to go.  I am totally excited.   It makes me want to work out more.

Welcome brit!!!!  Good Luck!!!

Have a good weekend.  I know I will be good this weekend.  I don't want a miserable Monday regretting what I ate.

Take care everyone.

 Well. This has come back to bite me in the ass. I've been totally slacking on the calorie counting and it has come back to haunt me. Since I started seeing my new guy (who is absolutely wonderful and makes me so happy), I have still been exercising and trying to watch what I eat, but I have completely stopped calorie counting, and I have gained a couple pounds. I'm not exactly sure how much, it keeps fluctuating, but I have got to get back on track here! I know how easy it is to get comfortable in a relationship (esp. when dating a chef) and not care so much about it, but I have to stay on track! I'm not even half way to my goal yet!! So I'm back on the wagon. Counting again. Still rockin the workouts. Sorry I didn't weigh in last week, but that's why.

So, anyway, wyogirl, you rock! congrats!

keep it up, everyone. see you friday...

Hello, All.

I would just like to report that my scale is broken, so I havent weighed in. Hopefully, by bumping the thread, we'll remind some people to post...because we are dwindling...any new adds? Hmmmm....? I will probably still be posting until I reach my goal..or give up...which hopefully I won't do.

Anyway, good luck for another week!
