    Last check-in weight: 155 (close to tapping out haha)
    Current weight: 153.9
    Pounds until 149: 4.9

    Heading in the right direction. I've never been this low before that I have record of or I can pin point. Probably in my teenage years but not sure. So I feel like I'm waiting to wake up and be about 10lbs heavier with someone going, only joking! Happy Thursday guys!

    Hi, I’d love to join. My current goal is 155 so I can be in the “healthy weight” category and out of “overweight”, but then I’ll be happily fighting my way out of the 150s as well! I’ve not really seen any losses for almost two weeks now, possibly hormonal or maybe bc of a recent dietary change. I know the scale will show my hard work eventually, so I’m just trying to stay positive.

    36yo
    5’6”
    Highest Weight: 223, started in June
    Current Weight: 157
    Goal Weight: 130
    Way of Eating (WOE): CICO, with an aim of 100g of protein a day because I find high protein very filling. I aim for 15k steps a day and plenty of strength training through the week. I run when I can, which is hard right now for various reasons, but intend to get back to it early April. I like the extra calories it gives me! 😋
    Anticipated weigh-in frequency: I weigh daily, but report on Sundays.

    @SFJULES66
    Thank you so much! I appreciate your response & encouragement!
    I looked back & I’ve my avg weight is down 0.1 lb since Jan 1st! My actual weight is still down 0.6 lbs. trends certainly help one relax & realize all is not lost!

    I’m realizing this might be the sustainable weight for me. I’m going to “keep on, going on” as you did, and see how things go!

    Last weigh in (2/22)= 158.6
    Today's weigh in = 157.8.

    I made goal, which was 158, FINALLY. And I gained a pound over yesterday, should have posted then... but I would have had to up it today anway, right? ROFL I've yet to reset my goal weight officially here on the site... enjoying being able to say GOAL!!! right now. ;-) But... know that unofficially, I want to drop to anywhere in the 140s.

    Sorry friends... I am struggling. Failed my final defense so I will not be graduating this semester. Trying to bounce back but pretty unmotivated right now 😢

    Sorry to hear you didn't pass. Take some time to be nice to yourself (that doesn't involve food - my first instinct) and take control of the area of your life that will help you feel better about yourself!

    Pinkfairy thank you for the good advice!

    That's what I've started to do when I have a bad day or get some bad news. Previously I would eat to make me feel better and get some control. When in fact I was just causing me to even more out of control.so trying to change that habit! Big hugs again!
