And today....161.4! Hasta la vista, I'll be back! Gah.
Not sure if this was my last post here but a little update:
Today I am 156! Only two and a bit pounds and I'll be in the ten stone bracket!! Not feeling like an imposter here anymore 😁
Yay, today I weighed in at 151.6! The 140s are starting to become a reality!
Yay!!! Good news!1 -

Pounds until 149's: reached just need to maintain it!
Happy Monday guys!
Woohooo! You did it! Are you going into maintenance now or trying to lose more? I am short and not too active so I still have a ways to go.
I am hoping for another 10lb off then I will make a decision. But probably going to slow it down somewhat, give me less pressure2 -

Ugg! Me too.
@Fivepts and @futuredrbri
I do the opposite. If I get under 152, I fall off track. But I’m in the mindset to blast through it this time. Fingers crossed.1 -

Yes, just add to this post! Welcome aboard!1 -
Thanks Yes I have re- starting too after a million attempts and need support as I am trying to lose 20-30 pounds my body likes to be 160-163 and I know I can be 140-145 as I have done in the past but I am OLD and 48 soon premenopausal and have asthma so its hard to work out - I sit 90 percent of my days at work and car and my depression is oH not getting any better !
need help and buddies!!!!1 -
@pinkfairy88 You're there!!! CONGRATULATIONS!
@Fivepts thank you, and yay for staying under 150!
@CowgirlConnieMay We leave Wednesday for a 7-day road trip, which will be more fun than it sounds lol and I'm aiming to just maintain. You can probably lose at Disney if you're mindful of the snacking and maybe shoot for one must-have indulgence? For me, it's always churros.
@ajhouse I've made a new rule- I only get on once. Every time it fluctuates to a lower, then higher number and ultimately settles on the higher, I'm tempted to get on again. So in your case, according to my totally arbitrary rules, you're 149.8! Lol soon enough!
I was 152.8 this morning. Happy with that for now.2 -
Hilogirl... Snap road trips are hard. I try to survive on Sunflower Seeds and cherries. Good luck I will be rooting for you 😊😊2

@BeccaBeVigilant What’s your BMI? Or your height?
The first turning point for me was my surgeon telling me I had to walk 10K steps every day. I wirked up to it gradually.
The second turning point was varying my route. I’d drive to a new neighborhood or staring point. Much more interesting...
The third, playing music...
Then the Biggest ONE of all & THE game changer for me was someone mentioned that they thought of their walks as Awesome ME Time! Not something I have to do but something totally precious.
The most difficult part is beginning. Do you have good walking shoes?
Or do you like Zumba low impact?
Oh ... and you’re not old I’m 63 & have lost 76 lbs over the last 1200 days! Slow & steady really does work. Really. All my labs are now perfect. 1 -

You can add me if you'd like. I have mobility issues due to an inherited connective tissue disorder, and exercise is very tough for me- joint pain. I'm working my way up to 30 minutes of walking in short bursts. Can you try to increase your steps gradually, like 5 minutes of walking and a rest, monitored by a cheap pedometer?0 -
@Fivepts - thank you! I started last August and weighed 170's my highest. It was a journey. I stop around Nov last year and came back doing calorie counting last Feb. Hoping to get down 120lbs by June.2

4/2 153.3
4/5 152.6
4/9 152.8, small gain but overall optimistic for the Friday weigh in. I have a really good feeling I will see a 14x by May 1st.
4/12 152.6, back slightly down to 20 lbs lost officially.
4/16 152.4, did an hour gym class yesterday called cardio and strength essentials and just about died, but I know 10 lbs ago I wouldn’t have made it through! The class had jumping jacks, mountain climbers, speed skaters, and lots of planks. I’m so sore today!
