Hey, well done on only being 2pounds away! This club is very quiet though.
Down to 161 pounds, so I should be out of this club next week
Maybe club 150 will be more active?
Thanks. I should perhaps mention that I am a 5' 10" man, so the 160s club is quite suitable for me. The task now is to maintain the weight: lose more fat and build more muscle.
well, I started counting calories this week & quit drinking sodas this week & I'm only down 1 lb~I'm staying here for another week b/c I would like to lose a little more to for sure be in the 150's! LOL
I had a training session to learn how to use the machines this morning so I"m excited to start that this week! The trainer told me to lose weight I should be working out at least 5 times a week & I've only been doing at least 3~so I think I need to kick it up a notch!
Good luck to everyone!

Damn, it was hard to lose that last 2 lbs, but I was determined to reach my goal. I am at the low end of 165 lbs now, at 23.9 BMI according to this morning's calculation.
I've lost 55 lbs in the past 5 months, since I decided to begin a no-grain diet, lose between 2-3 lbs per week, and chart my weight daily. In the year prior to that, I had lost 20 lbs without trying. I'm still not really sure why that happened.
If you add the numbers together, you will see that I weighed 240 lbs about a year and a half ago. And I had weighed the same for nearly 10 years. I had never taken the time to study how my body metabolises food, and as a result I was obese even though I only ate about 2000 kcal per day (but it was mostly noodles, pasta, bread, etc). I didn't know anything about insulin resistance, insulin's role in fat storage, or insulin management.
I was surrounded by so many doubters - people who told me I couldn't do it, shouldn't do it, I would fail, I wouldn't stick with it, my goals were unreachable and unrealistic, the weight would come back in double, etc. and so forth. What they didn't understand is that once I've made up my mind to accomplish a goal, interrupting me, even with hard facts, will have absolutely zero impact on slowing down the locomotive. And now I am thinner than almost all of them. They have started to tell me how good I look and that they would like to learn what I have been doing to lose weight.

Glad to See so Many New Faces 
Welcome to all. I have been here for a bit. It seems those last 20 lbs refuse to budge, but I am more stubborn than the fat I eat healthy and nutritiously and workout 5-6 days a week; a mix of martial arts, boxing, weight training, cardio kickboxing, and a straight up cardio day.
I am now at 165, but very slowly losing the weight. Better than gaining, right? I am breaking through a plateau which seemed to go on forever so I know the weight will come off, but just at a much slower pace than I would like. Hang in there guys!

I was stuck at 166-168 and couldnt shake it. The advice I was given was great. To get out of my plateau, I was told to eat things I would not normally eat, and go at least 1000 calories over my normal intake for 3-5 days. The personal trainer said it would "shock" my metabolism and get my weight loss started again like it used to. I was skeptical but decided to do this for 3 days since 5 was too much to bear. I gained 1.5 lbs in those 3 days, but within 2 days after returning to my normal calorie intake, I lost it all. I do count calories and try to average 1200 a day. I am now at 165.4 and it feels like the advice is working. I will keep you posted!

Ok, so I weighed in at 165.4 testerday. I always weigh myself between 2pm-3pm because that's when I work out. I was curious this morning and weighed myself for the heck of it. I know it's wrong because I hadn't drank my 3L of water or ate my lunch but...it was 164.2. Ok, I know it's not real. It was great motivation though!
