Club 170s

weighed myself today, not my "official" weigh in today but i was 169.8lbs:D :D . gonna hang around for a while though as my weight does fluctuate quite a bit.mad
 
I have spent several weeks trying to get to the 170's club. I made it, but it looks lonely. Congratulations to those who moved unto the 160's.

My goal is not to get stuck in this weight range forever like I was with the 180's.....I'm not going back there.
 
cheers demented, just having a "wander" around. just noticed how much weight you have lost. bet you feel so much better. can i be nosy and ask if you have any saggy skin. mine is starting to go and its really freaking me out. slim
 
HI Demented and thanks. You are so close to the 160's and I hope you get there soon. I'll have to wait around for for others to join me since I'll be here awhile. I notice you have already been doing awesome on your weight loss. Congrats to you.
 
Nicole congratulations on hitting the 170's and your weight loss. It is rather quiet around here though.....
 
Well i am still here. I am on medication and some personal issues at the moment so dont think i will be leaving for a while yet.

Thanks for your support. Yeah i've lost quiet a bit from my heaviest, done it in two bathes of 3 months at a time so it wasn't too difficult to get down to here. Now it is impossible to get any lower so i need to reaccess lol.

No saggy skin. I am afraid of getting it too tho.
 
Demented I hope the personal issues settle down for you. WTG on what you have already accomplished. Saggy skin is hard to figure out I think. I never had any except with my last daughter, but never lost that weight. I had 4 pregnancies (one with twins) and started out about 120 or less with each and got to 180......who knows. You are inspiring me by simply posting in the lonely 170's group.

I got down to 176 this am. I have worked hard the last week, more motivated at seeing more results. Not just the scale, but else where. But I think I'm pushing so much since I now am not running children around each night, more energy and time to focus on me......selfish mommy.
 
hey, i'm brand new here, so i'm not quite sure how all this group stuff works... HOWEVER, i am in the 170s (179 to be exact) and i would loooove to join a group. i need all the motivation i can get!!

Hey Ltbustle!

I am 177 at the mo. I wear most of it on my bottom half and am only 5ft5!
How tall are you?

I think its tough being in the 170s as you dont see weight loss dropping off as quick as those who are over 200 for example.

So this is your starting weight? I was 187 when I started...and lost the ten pounds so fast....but now I am struggling to get below 80kg (i am 80.4kg in metric terms!)

Its really nice to hear from you! We'll motivate each other along and any other 170-ers who will hopefully join! :)
 
Ok this is crazy. I have eaten a fry EVERY morning and a take away EVERY evening since the 7th of May. Due to personal issues i havent been home and been away dealing with crap and guess what, i lost 1ib. Yes a loss. I havent gotten below 173 and i eat junk and stuff my face like im a big pig and i lose 1ib. So down to 172. Good news is i am going back to the gym tomorrow. I am back home and getting back into my proper eating. I am suffering from clinical depression and stupid people in my life (of the male variety as always ;) ) causing me total heartache and i have decided to hell with it all. It is too new summer to be staying this fat.
 
Hi guys there is another 170's group on this page if you look at the weight loss groups page. There are a few of us there. Right now the tread is just below this one :)
 
Yoop yoop"

I went from 178.5 pounds to 175 today! So I am definately in this group! (I was 189 pounds originally)

After my weight not budging for WEEKS it is such a relief! I did an extra bit of cardio this week...think that is what dunnit!

Wonder how long it will get me to my ideal weight of 145 pounds?
I guess I ought to set a short term goal to get to 165 first..say one month?
Does that sound reasonable?

What do you think??
(I am 5ft5 btw)

I think at the beginning of a diet/exercise 2 pounds a week is whats to be expected, and is healthy.

after the initial weight loss, probably 1-1.5 pounds a week. so 10 pounds in the next month isnt unreasonable. go for 8-10
 
good on you demented :) , hope to see you soon in the 160`s. ive had years of being upset by men (one in particular) and my usual answer was to run to the kitchen or the local shop and stuff myself = a gain of 7 stone. i made a vow not let it get to me this time. sometimes i give in and stuff my face but most of the time i think of what i will look like if i dont overeat and it seems to work.
i have suffered from clinical depression in the past and been treated with medication. cos i felt better i started eating and put on the weight id lost through being ill + more.i did however whilst still on the pills manage to lose the weight. the worst mistake i made was getting p***ed whilst taking the tablets (amitriptyline). ive never felt so ill and needless to say, never repeated my mistake .slim
