Weigh in for January 21st

Finally lost! Down 1.4 lbs. I'll take it! Brings me to 162.6. Hope everyone has had a good week.

What all is going on? I haven't had time to hang out on this site and I see we have lost a lot of folks. Is it over the map thing? Is the problem fixed?

Wow, we weigh just about the same lol! I finally broke past 162 to 161.4 (ish). What is your long-term goal? I'd love to be 135 but really I think 140-145 is more realistic for me and easier to maintain.

I started out the month at 166.2 so down for almost 5 pounds for the month. Not bad, but I was hoping for more :(

My high this month was 164 I think. I had been 157 in April and thought I was on my way down. Instead I hovered around 160 - 161 all summer then when the holidays hit I was more like 163 and then 164. Sometimes if I'm *bad* and weigh myself in the evening I would be 165 or 166 but since I was *supposed* to be weighing myself again I thought that those weights "didn't count." :)

My long term goal is 135. I had been there about 9 years ago before I got pregnant with my 2nd child. It was my all-time lowest weight as an adult. I too would be happy or at least happier if I could get into the 140's.

It's tough. 'Course I'm not exactly do an all-out war to lose the weight. Just some lifestyle changes here and there.

I was at my lowest weight (135) when I had my first pregnancy. I didn't have morning sickness, just constant nauseousness the whole first tri-mester and hardly ate anything. For the last two years my body has been quite content in the mid-160s lol! It seems like I can eat anything I want and stay around 165, but really have to work at eating healthy to slowly lose anything!

BTW, I have four kids too :) Jacob-8, Robby-6, Audrey-4, and Allison-2. I love it!

Oh how cool! Yours are all 2 years apart! I have Hannah-10, will be 11 next month, Rebekah-8, will be 9 in April, Paul-6 as of December and Grace that turned 2 in November. How wonderful that you had two boys and two girls--I bet that works out good for toys and clothes!

Yeah, I was 157 when I got pregnant with this #4 and my body just hovers in the low 160's and hasn't been below 157 except when I have HG in years. I figure I'm finished having babies and I would like to get to a weight that I enjoy.
