Countdown to 130-135

[shannon35]

Hello buddies!

I know a lot of us are trying to get into the 130-135 range, so I thought, why not start a challenge for all of us?!

Post what your goal is (somewhere between 130-135) and we'll go from there! I hope this gives me the extra motivation that I need, and it will hold me more accountable. Who's with me? Post your WI on whatever day is convenient, and I will update the stats as I can.

I hope I'm not alone in this!

Shannon :D

I've been stalled out in the low 140s for a few months now. I need to buckle down and get to my goal! I WI on Friday.

[shannon35]

Does anyone else want to join us? Come on! I know you're out there!

Shannon ;)

[MissyBrat]

Hi, Shannon & Jessica!

I working to get back down to my WW Goal of 130. Currently, I'm 136.4.

Thanks for doing this challenge!

Best wishes,

Missy

[shannon35]

Welcome Jessica and Missy! Thanks for joining me. It's this last bit that seems the hardest! I was at 139, but then I got married two months ago and gained 3 lbs on the honeymoon. I've lost some, but I'm having a hard time getting past that. Good luck!

Shannon

[MissyBrat]

Hi, Shannon & Jessica!

Weighed in this morning and am down 0.2.

Hugs,

Missy

[jlrose]

I see I'm in good company. I lost .2 this week also. smile.gif

[Jillk1]

Hi Shannon, Jessica and Missy,
I hope it's not too late to join you. I have a bit further to go, but my goal is 132. It will be a year on WW on 10/29. I'll weigh in on Sunday. Hope you are all doing fine. These last pounds have really come off slow for me. Jill

[MissyBrat]

Hi, Jill!

Great to "see" you here with us! I look forward to watching your success!!! :D

Hugs,

Missy

[Msmandeee]

May I join you all? I have also been teetering in the low 140's for quite some time now. I cannot wait to break into the 130's! I owuld like to make it to 134, hmmmm lets see by finals, early December. That gives me a goal of about 1 lb per week I think.

smile.gif We can do this! smile.gif

[andrea2]

I hope I am not too late in joining! graemlins/wave.gif
I am stuck at 133, 128 is my personal goal. Thanks for the challenge! These last few pounds have been the hardest!

Welcome Jill, Andrea and Mandy! Thanks for joining us! Congrats to Jessica and Missy on their losses this week. I am up 2 lbs this week! :mad: It is TOM so I am attributing it to that since I was perfectly OP this week. How frustrating though. I think I will start posting current weights instead of pounds lost so we can see how close we are to our goals. What do you think?

Shannon :D

Posting current weights is okay by me.

Thank you, Shannon, for taking on all of this! I really appreciate it!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful OP day!!!!!

Missy

[MissyBrat]

Hi, Buddies!

I had to WI early this week. I'm down 2 lbs to 134.2.

Hope everyone is having a great OP day!!!

Missy

[Jillk1]

Hi everyone,
I'm down .75 pound which puts me at 145. I lose slowly, but its better than gaining. Missy, congratulations on your 2lb loss. Sounds like you had a great week. Have a great week. Jill

[shannon35]

Hello everyone! Sorry it has taken me so long to edit the challenge. I will start posting current weight as opposed to pounds lost. That way we can see how close we are. So please let me know if anything is incorrect!

Have a great weekend buddies!

Shannon

[MissyBrat]

WTG, Jill!!!!!!! :D

Missy

[MissyBrat]

Aaaaaaack, we're falling down the page!!!!!!

I'm embarassed to post my result this week as it is so ridiculous. I've been under incredible stress during the past week and my body & mind just shut down. I've had no appetite to speak of whatsoever. It's improving slowly though. (I think I see a little light. As long as it's not an oncoming train, I'll be okay. ;) )

I weighed in yesterday at 127.2. odear.gif I'm actually hoping for a little rebound up next week for health reasons. I'm all about being and feeling healthy and right now I feel pretty crappy. Though I take comfort in knowing that I'm doing the best as I can right now and that the choices I've made when I have an appetite have been healthy ones.

I hope everyone is doing well. Let us all know how you're doing!!

Missy

[jlrose]

My life has been chaos for the last three weeks. Hopefully the end is in sight.

Last week I had a 2.6# gain and this week a 3.2# loss. I'm at 141.6 now.

[shannon35]

No loss for me this week. I have been stalled out. How frustrating! :mad: I got put on a prescription medication a week ago and I am just glad that I haven't gained!

Good luck this week buddies!

Shannon :D

[MissyBrat]

Shannon -

I'm so sorry to hear that you are so frustrated. I'm sending lots of good vibes your way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I went and took a good look at your stats. 36.5 gone!!!!!!! WTG!!!!!!!!!! graemlins/bcbsalute.gif

Hang in there. Keep up all of your hard work. Remember that living OP eventually beats the scale's stubborness every time.

Hugs,

Missy

[MissyBrat]

Hello!

I'm feeling a bit better and had a POP week. I had the healthy rebound that I was hoping for and was up 4.2 this week. That puts me at 131.4. I physically feel so much better! smile.gif

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Missy

[shannon35]

Glad to hear that you had a good week Missy! You are SOOO close to 130! Keep it up!

Shannon :D

[Cheryl_Kay]

I hope I can still join you all. I know you have been doing this a while but I just read and would love to join. My goal is 135 to start then see where I need to go from there. I'm at 150.5. I weigh in on Wednesday mornings so I will keep you informed. Thanks for this great post. Cheryl

Welcome Cheryl! It's great to have you here. I FINALLY lost a half pound! It's been over a month since I've lost, so every little bit is GREAT.

Have a great week everyone!

Shannon :D

[Cheryl_Kay]

Way to go Shannon! graemlins/thumbup.gif Thank you for the welcome. I can't wait until Wednesday for WI.

Cheryl

[andrea2]

WOW! Thanks for bumping this -- time flew by without me editing this! I am at 133. These last few are so hard!!! Thanks for the challenge - and support!

[Cheryl_Kay]

Sounds like you are doing great! Only 3 more lbs to go. Good luck to you, I'm sure it will not take you long.

Cheryl

[MissyBrat]

Welcome, Cheryl!!!!

WTG Shannon & Andrea!!!!!! graemlins/bcbsalute.gif

Having another POP week and hoping to be back to normal this week. Though.....I did quit smoking on Sunday! :D I've been chewing everything non-edible in sight. (I feel like the puppy.) Plastic coffee stirrers and straws are my favorite. Though my dentist is probably going to kill me!. odear.gif

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!!!!

Missy

[Cheryl_Kay]

I'm so glad WI is over. I look forward to it all week then get so nervous the day before. Done great this week. Lost 2 more pounds for a total of 18 LBS gone. graemlins/crazy.gif I'm now at 148.5 and well on my way. Good luck Missy on quitting smoking. I smoke and would love to be able to quit, just afraid I'll eat everything in the house. I quit a couple of years ago for one month and gained 13 pounds and was as cranky on the day I started back as I was on the first day. I'm gonna try to quit though, such a bad habit. Good luck to you!

[Cheryl_Kay]

Just wanted to share this with you all too. When I first started WW I ask my husband to set a goal and reward for me and he told me when I lose 20 LBS he would take me to the Smokey Mtns for a weekend trip for me and him and now I only have 2 more LBS to go and we are on our way YESSSS! smile.gif Just thought I would share that with you, if you only knew him it is almost impossible to get him to take the time from work to do anything much less for a whole weekend. I'm excited about it. Hope everyone has a great OP day.

Cheryl

[Jillk1]

It's been awhile since I posted, but I didn't have anything to report until this morning. I weighed 143.75 this morning.
Shannon, my weight is coming off slowly also, but over time it all adds up. It is frustrating though when that scale won't move.
Missy, I'm glad you're feeling better. You are so close to your goal!
Jessica, You had a great loss. So close to the 130's!! Hope your life has settled back to normal.
Cheryl, Welcome and I hope you have a wonderful weekend. That's a great reward for all your hard work.
Adrea, That leaves you with 3 more to go. Yea!! Sometimes I feel like these last pounds are super glued to me.
Hope everyone has a great week! Jill

[plain jane]

I didin't make my goal of 130 for today but I am 133.6. It's not THAT far away. And I started out at 138 just a short while ago! So I'm happy still. It would be nice to be 130 by next week.

[shannon35]

133.6 is great! Don't get frustrated. I have only lost 1.5 pounds in the last 2 months! You are so close and I know that you will get there soon!

Shannon :D

[Luckysmom]

Is it too late to join this challenge>? I joined WW four weeks ago. 130 is my personal goal weight. The weight is slowly coming off but I would love to part of a group of people who have the same end goal -- to see the 130s once again! (It's been 13 years for me -- my baby is a teen and I have no more excuses!!).
Let me know if I can join in or if I need to start a separate challenge. Do you have an end date in mind? I'm shooting for 130 by Christmas.
Brigitte

[shannon35]

It's definitely not too late to join! There's no set end date to the challenge, just whenever you get there. I am aiming to hit 130 by Christmas as well, so we'll see. I keep hitting plateaus along the way graemlins/ugh.gif Hopefully we can motivate eachother!

Thanks for joining!

Shannon :D

[Luckysmom]

Shannon,
Thanks for your nice reply! It's so much easier to stay motivated when you have others working toward the same goal! I look forward to us encouraging each other toward a 130 Christmas!!

[Jillk1]

Hi buddies,
Weighed in at 142.5. Welcome Brigitte. I haven't seen the 130's in awhile either. The last time that I was at goal, my son was about 3 years old and he will be turning 18 in February. The good news is that my ww goal is 7 pounds higher than when I was in my 20's. But it's harder to take weight off than it used to be. Hope everyone has an OP week!! Jill

[Cheryl_Kay]

Sorry it has taken me 5 days to report since weigh in. I lost 1.5 so I am now at 147. Only .5 to go to take my trip. Hopefully Wednesday will do it for me. Good luck to everyone this week. Cheryl graemlins/wave.gif

[kpow67]

May I join in the challenge? I'm a newbie. I've been lurking for awhile and finally registered last week. I wanted to join the challenge then, but couldn't find the thread again until today. :rolleyes:

My WI is on Saturdays. I'm hoping to hit 130-135 by New Year so that gives me almost 7 weeks.

11/8 142.6
11/15 140
11/22 139.8
11/29 141.2 (+1.4 Fiddling with points this week)
12/06 137 (-4.2 Increased both activity and eating)

[ December 06, 2003, 08:46 AM: Message edited by: kpow67 ]

[Cheryl_Kay]

GRRRRR bad day! Had a gain today. First gain since I started WW. Gained .5, so I'm at 147.5. Oh well, will do more exercise this week. Good luck all. Cheryl

[dgjp8991]

****{Hugs}}} here best friend! Cheryl Its ok! Maybe the weather will be better next weekend anyway! Rain doenst make a pleasnt trip! Its no fun walking in the rain if its Cold right? You are doing great on WW Im proud of you! We have made lifestyle changes for the Good right? Staying OP no matter what it scales will REFLECT you are going to have a HUGE Loss next week! Hang In there. YOUR FRIEND GinaH graemlins/wave.gif

[shannon35]

Don't be too hard on yourself Cheryl. .5 pounds isn't that bad. Maybe it's water weight! I am sure you will lose that half pound (and then some!) next week. Keep your chin up buddy!

Kim-Welcome! It's good to have you here. The more the merrier!

I hope everyone is having a good week. Don't forget to get all your water in! It's harder for me in the winter since it's not HOT, but I have been reminding myself that I need it!

Shannon :D

[kpow67]

Thanks, Shannon - I'm happy to be here!

Is this a perpetual challenge or are we trying to hit our 130-135 goal by Christmas? New Years?

[shannon35]

Kim-It's a perpetual challenge. Although I would LOVE to be at 130 by New Year's I am not sure since my losses have been slow. So we'll see what happens!

Shannon :D

[Cheryl_Kay]

Thank you all very much for the encouragement. I'm sure it will be better next week. It is great having you guys that are going through the same things I am, it helps a lot. Thanks!! smile.gif Hope everyone has a great OP day. Thanks, Cheryl

[shannon35]

Well, I am finally down to 140! It's so close to the 130's I can taste it! How is everyone else doing?

I was just talking with DH this weekend. I may change my goal weight to 135. I'm really not sure. I think I will wait 'til I get there. I just don't know if I have another 10 lbs to lose. (wow! That's something I never thought I'd say!) So I guess I will just take it as I go!

Good luck everyone!

Shannon :D

[ November 23, 2003, 08:41 PM: Message edited by: shannon35 ]

[Cheryl_Kay]

Way to go Shannon! I had WI today and I'm down 3.5 lbs. smile.gif Now I'm at 144 lbs. I hope everyone has a great and OP Thanksgiving. Cheryl

[shannon35]

Woohoo Cheryl! graemlins/crazy.gif 3.5 pounds is GREAT! I haven't seen losses that big in a long time...I think I'm due!

Shannon

[andrea2]

Bumping!
How is everyone doing? I would like to get back to this goal , as well as the wonderful support on this thread! I have to admit I did not do well over the holidays and am looking to get back on track. I am back to 133 and looking to get to my personal goal, 125, or at least out of the 130's!!! Anyone up for starting this thread again?

[Cheryl_Kay]

Sorry I haven't posted lately. Have been in a rut through the holidays. I quit smoking and was very concerned about that but only gained 1.5 after that. Anyway, had WI today and am finally doing better, had a loss of 4.5 LBS. So now I'm at 140. Only 5 LBS more for WW goal and 10 for mine. I would like to be at my goal by my anniversary April 1. Good luck buddies and have a great day!

I'm new, but I'm heading for 135--is it too late to join?

[kbjork8274]

I would like to join also. Would like to try the 130 challenge but will go for the 135 for now. Last week's WI was 142 so hopefully this will get be motivated.
