    Around a 100 calories left for today. I have no idea how I did it. I had cookies and everything. That chickpea salad lunch thing really does the trick!

    Wow - you know even if things are stagnating a bit now, I did not realize I'd lost that much weight! And a few pounds before I joined this site.

    I'm feeling pretty good about it at the moment and a little surprised.

    YAHOO!! I am out of the 170's!! I have been waiting and waiting for this! I have been sitting in the 170's forever just bouncing around and now....finally I have moved on!!! YEA!!! I need to lose 5 more pounds and I will be the smallest I have been since kids!!!! 12 years ago!!!! I know I can lose at least 5 more pounds....but I would love to lose about 30. My good friend keeps telling me that if I lose 30 more pounds I will look emaciated. My husband also feels that I shouldn't lose 30 more pounds. I don't think I will look emaciated at all, but maybe 30 pounds may be unrealistic. I am now in a size 10, I was originally in a tight 14 or loose 16. I figure 30 more pounds would probably put me in a 6. That's what my daughter wears!! I would love to go into her closet and be able to wear some of her clothes!:tongue: Here's hoping!

    You and me are in the SAME boat! (my dial scale says 165, my digital 171) my mind says (and I have been going with this one)to go with this one (digital) , my heart is saying to go with the digital (since it DID match the dr's :angry: ) so technically..... I think I'm still in the 70's??? I'm pretty sure the digital is correct?!!
    AND
    I just told my husband the other day, I'd like to lose another 20-30 and he said THIRTY? ARE YOU CRAZY, YOU'LL WASTE AWAY TO NOTHING???!!!
    hahaha! yeah, in my dreams!
    I too was in a 14/16 (at one point an 18) and my pants are not a 10.
    We can do it!!!!
    I would love to be an 8. I've never been an 8. Maybe when I WAS 8!:laugh:
    Here's hoping too!!:drinker:

    hi my good friends!
    yay for buckeye. I understand that lifes curve balls can have a major effect on your dieting...and im sure the events of recent have contributed to this new jump start...i hope that things are looking up for yall

    jbar..you look tiny! i know that having two different reference scales is very difficult, because i also have two, and im never sure which to trust. but let me just tell you that what matters is that you lifestyle can only get you closer to losing, even if the dial dosnt move, or even fluctuates (thank you womanhood!) what matters is that you are heart healthy and eating right! So try not to worry too much because you look just great! Have you tried mixing up your routine a little?

    I did bad yesterday. i stayed somewhere near my calories in, but didnt do a single thing exercise-wise. But today will be my fourth class of Zumba, making one full week, and i love it! Its basically every other day, and to be honest, i pretty much need the day in between. My legs are getting so strong from this after just one week!
    So anyway, today will be that class after work so im going to eat right all day and go to zumba to make up for yesterday ( we finally got paid and were able to go grocery shopping so i can more easily get back on track after eating out yesterday...)
    Bless you guys, i hope your day is just peachy like the yogurt i am eating right now!

    i just posted an old pic of my flat tummy to try to re-inspire myself of what i 'could' look like if i work hard. But its also kind of depressing, because i hate that ive let it get out of hand...and to think that i thought i was fat back then! what was i thinking?

    I agree with your view of Getting Your Life Back. I have the same sentiment and entered it on my profile that way. I've allowed myself to gain so much weight over the last 15 years that I have been unable to participate in regular activities.

    I want to live fully!

    Keep the faith, keep losing.

    Emily,
    what a hotty!!!!

    I have NEVER had a stomach like that. And with regret.... never will :angry: :grumble:
    I have ALWAYS had a "rolly" stomach and now with children a rolly, pizza dough, cat stratch stretch marky stomach. boo hoo! But I guess I can live with a smaller mushier stomach!

    Welcome Tim! You can do this and you will love our group! We're all a bit crazy here but very serious about our goals and supporting eachother to reach those goals! Good luck to you.

    JENNIFER - I personally challenge you!!:wink: Let's do this. You and I are going to be in a size 8 by July 30! What do you think? That gives us about 10 weeks to get there. This may be a hard challenge but it's worth going for. We have to make this fun....what stakes can we put on this? The winner has to send the other one a little gift in the mail...nothing expensive just something to celebrate the journey? What do you think?

    OK SPARKLES, you are killing me!!! I love the way you described Zumbra... "easy latin inspired aerobic steps" HA!!!! Maybe for someone like you who doesn't have to worry about gravity pulling them over by the weight of their belly when they bend over!!!! I think I will stick with running. The only thing I have to worry about is the ground being able to support me and so far so good on that!! :tongue:

    Oh Boy!! A challenge!!!???
    hmmm, (sweating,shaking...) lordy? can I do it??
    I have so many goals that I really should.
    vacation. 6/28
    sis in laws wedding 7/12
    20 year reunion (seeing old HS bf that dumped me :explode: ) 8/16.

    sounds like a good deal.
    a little nervous though seeing that I have NEVER seen an 8!!! (my top is still a 12/14 large) it's my back fat and boobs that won't go away!
    sure, let's do it.
    10 weeks away?!! I have been stuck for so long, I'd be lucky if I can get 5 pounds off! but hey, I'd love to try for 20! okay, 15:wink:

    I haven't weighted in over a week now. It is the end of the school year, so I have good bye to the gym for at least another week. But so far maintaining and by the way Lauren - STARTING OVER!!!!:grumble:

    You're right Jlauren....I have always appeared to weigh less then the scale claims me to be. I like that!
    Like I said they are 10 stretch but I'm not stuffed into them. I would like to purchase a straight 10 to see if I could stuff myself into those. Who knows? The other thing is that all brands are different when it comes to sizing...I'm sure if I went to a different store/brand I wouldn't be able to pull them past my hips.:tongue:

    you guys are right about the sizes. i havent found a single size that i can say i am, because it all just depends. on the top im usually a 14, but the bridesmaids dress i just bought i had to get a 16 because of the size of my bust, where my waist is prolly closer to a size 12 or 10, depending on the brand. In jeans right now i have a pair of size nines that i can barely just barely zip up, cant wear them out yet tho.
    But in levis i have a 12 that is hanging on me. So im not so sure yet. i wear lots of flowy skirts and stuff.
    anyway, it is important to remember that we all have different bodys. Im like you jbar, i cant seem to do anything about my boobs/side/back fat. and one of my biggest pet peves is having my bra showing through my shirt where it cuts in.
    Anyway, enough about that. Zumba was great today as always. definitely fun for 400 cals! im glad to have a new 'change' in my workout routine! hope next monday is an ok weigh in, its about time for me to take measurements again!

    I am so impressed with you guys! :flowerforyou:

    MAYBE someday I'll be a size 8... but honestly, my smallest might end up being a 10. I don't know - I have a large frame (especially my ribcage, knees, etc), and most of my weight is in my BUTT and thighs. Right now I have a size 12 stretch that fits, a size 12 regular that is only a little tight (I could probably wear them out but haven't dared yet), and some 14s that fit. The 16s are totally falling off now, except for one stretch pair (weird). And I'm at 176 this week.

    Same for me 16 are very loose but 14 are uncomfortable. I would settle for a 9 it is close to double digits but not. LOL:laugh:

    I'm catching back up here:

    Keep it up sindy you can do it! (:

    Wow Jenbar!!!! :noway:

    Thanks jlauren (:

    Welcome Tim!

    Sparkles - I hear you on the bust increasing sizing. Frustrating by times for sure!

    Gah - I'm at a plateau but I'm hoping by next week things will start to budge. I've been really good food and exercise wise. If I'm gaining muscles at least, I can stand staying the same weight, as long as my pants keep getting looser. :wink:

    Monday again. 4th week no weight loss. Not sure how to move that darn scale :sad: It is good not to put any weight on but very discouraging not to loose. Hope everyone else did good.

    Loss of 1lb for the week, very exciting since I havn't lost anything in a while. I have 2 weeks until my husband and I go to a waterpark hotel...this means me in a bathing suit in front of lots of people:sad: I have to stay on track this week! I plan on going to the gym after work, but I "plan" on going a lot and it doesn't happen.
