Dubble Bubble and Bazooka (the original ones) are the only two I've consistently found to have no fake sugars at all. Dubble Bubble (Original): "dextrose, corn syrup, gum base, tapioca dextrin, titanium dioxide, confectioners glaze, carnauba wax, cornstarch, artificial flavors and colors" Bazooka (Original): "Sugar , Gum…

While the weight is slow to come off at this point, my waist is definitely shrinking! I'm down to size 30 pants!!!! I just bought 4 new pairs of pants and they came in the mail today, perfect fit. :)

I'm down to 147!!

Nice!! I actually started a Last Ten Pounds club, but I can make a 140s thread too if you like. :-)

Welcome aboard! :-)

Woohoo!! :D

Hooray! I'm glad you're making progress. :-) Since I've been losing weight a lot slower I'm just keeping track of my waistline more than anything... I'm down to 32.5" around my waist!

I have a barrel chest and lumbar lordosis due to that. Is it even possible for me to have a completely flat stomach? I'm at 149 pounds, estimated 16%-18% body fat, 5'6", 32" waist. When I do the "chest out, stomach in" pose, my stomach goes mostly flat, but that's not exactly a pose I maintain during regular activities.

You could also try The Hacker's Diet to keep track of overall trend instead of being distracted by fluctuations. It's one of the few things that have kept me sane over the past 6 months. https://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/

Haha, sure! Close enough. ;-) mjbrowne: Nothing wrong with being big boned, that just means BMI is more inaccurate. I've been using the Navy Circumference Method to estimate my body fat percentage since my scale won't go down any further than 22% for some reason (it stopped going down about 7 pounds ago). Right now the…

I'm currently stuck around 149 pounds, so I'm guessing I must be close to my ideal weight. I decided to just change my goals to "lose 1 pound per week" to maybe kickstart things for the final stretch. It's nice to have a bit more leeway again, 1200 calories a day is tough.

Aw. :( I plateaued for a month at one point, it was a real pain. As long as you keep living a healthy lifestyle it'll go back down eventually.

Good luck!!

I was just barely below 150 for about a week, but then I fluctuated up today. Not sure what's up with that. Still, I'm pretty close to my goal weight, so I'm happy about that. :)

Happy birthday! :D I've been hovering around 150 lately, soo close to staying below that.

Awesome!!

Thanks!! :D

Keep on going!! I'm currently pushing past 152. I finally had to buy new clothes this weekend since my old ones fit like tents!

I'm glad you're finally making lots of progress! :D Keep it up!!!

Welcome aboard! :D I'm finally past the halfway point in the 150s myself.

Congratulations!!! Keep going! :D

Still shifting between 155 and 157. It would be nice to get closer to 150 eventually...

I've been hovering around 155 pounds for the past week. These last 15 pounds are going to be a real battle I think.

Awesome progress! :D I'm looking forward to seeing you in the other thread soon! :D I just hit 155 recently, and I feel amazing.

Awesome! Keep up the great work! :-)

Good luck!! I'm still keeping an eye on this thread to cheer you all on. :-) I'm currently at 156 pounds!!

Woo! 156.6!

Keep trying!! My weight loss has slowed down a bit too, partly because I don't have as much to lose. But I've stayed below 160 pounds for a week so hopefully I'll keep trending downwards. It took me 4 months to get this far.

Yeah, I've been getting better at only getting a small portion or outright ignoring free food at work. We tend to be a little celebration happy and there's also free food in the kitchen a lot. Keep plugging away! Also, I started this thread now that I've managed to stay below 160 for a week:…

Congrats! :D I'm still hovering below 160, but again I'm gonna wait a week to make sure. ;-) At least Easter chocolate time is over now. While it's very tempting to participate in after-Easter chocolate sales, I will steel my willpower.
