It is amazing katylil! Does anyone feel that the smaller they get...the more it just doesn't seem to matter how fast you lose the weight?? That probably sounds weird, and I definitely still want to lose weight and all but I just find myself less and less interested in losing "X" amount of weight in "X" amount of time. I even decided to join a challenge in hopes it might motivate me more--but to be honest I don't think I would care if I didn't make it to goal by then.
Yeah, I do sort of know what you mean. It seems like lately it's become obvious that I've lost weight and so many people keep saying, you don't need to lose any more!! I know that it's because I've learned to dress the right way (trust me, I can stand to lose a few more pounds at least) but it's both really nice to hear and really frustrating. lol!
I do know that feeling Alicia! In fact just this morning, I went to breakfast with my brother and told him I have 22 more lbs to lose and his jaw dropped to the floor and then he said "You'll look weird at that weight!". I don't think our goal weight is too small a number. In fact, I still dont even feel comfortable in a one piece swimsuit--mainly cause my legs and thighs are my fattiest problem. I hope people will re-think their idea's on what weight I should be when I am at goal weight. I just want to be a nice lean girl. I don't think that is ridiculous or too demanding of myself.
It's not too demanding at all Chipmunk Cheeks! And I know EXACTLY what you mean. My parents have ALWAYS told me that even if I lose weight, I'll never be skinny. My mum doesnt think I can get to my Goal Weight, but there you go. It's what I want to do. I might discover that when I reach 135 I'm perfectly happy with myself, and I'll stop there.
But at the moment, I'm not, so I'm aiming for 126 and I wish people would just accept that and let me get on with it!!
I haven't been weighing myself every day due to extreme amount of stress from my new teaching job. Also, I can't seem to weigh myself at the same time every day, so I waited until today. I'm at 152.8, meaning I have now lost over 50 pounds!

Hi guys!
Ok so this thread is monster, but I'm just going to jump in here and say hiya. I recognize some names and others are new to me, but this forum helped me bunches to get to where I am now. I've been maintaining at 150 for almost half a year now, but I'm not quite where I want to be yet and ready to push on and finish what I started -- getting to that healthy BMI range. Gonna start going back to the gym and getting in some form of daily exercise most days of the week. At my last check up my cholesterol numbers were good so my Doc is trying me for 6 months without any meds, so my 6 month goal is to do everything I can to make those numbers stay good!
omg guys...tonight...was...horrible. I totally over ate. like totally. I mean I ate stuff like PIZZA, CANDY AND COOKIES! ; ( -sigh- I haven't binged like this in I don't know how long. But oh well...I have to live with my consequences now. I'm drinking tons of water right now and will be for the next couple of days and EATING LIGHT as well. I guess though...in the end, its really not the end of the world as long as I go a head and pick up my good eating habits again, its just one less day where I could have lost weight. ; ( I'm sort of disappointed but...to be kinda fair it was my birthday party tonight.
bet that feels awesome!!
