May & June - Weight Loss Challenge

[Jallora]

Thanks, Tabby! I know that number isn't the only thing you should pay attention to. Especially when you're just starting to workout and develop muscle again. I'm up again this week...182.5, but I'm also comfortably wearing a pair of jeans that I couldn't even bend in a couple of months ago. Whoo hoo! And I was checking my calves out this morning with a big smile on my face. I'm sure I'm going to be developing my thighs into what someone else called "monster legs", but my calves are starting to look HOT! Tee hee! I've started wearing skirts to work again. And I'll be thrilled with monster legs/thighs if they're monsterous because of muscle rather than fat.

Let's do this again!

Sorry this reply post is so far down the line, I was at 2 mtb clinics this past weekend and have now caught up at work.

Aimee ... you question right, why does the number have the power to upset us? For me, I had to let go of wanting to be a certain weight, my goal was to get healthy inside and feel better overall. I had let myself go so far, that each 10 year age block added on 10-15 pounds with NO exercise. ARGH!!!When the clothes started to fit better and even drop a size ...I felt that was my success. Admittedly I began looking at the weight # ... when I saw the weight start to come off, but I still strive for better eating habits and more exercise.

I got very anal charting things ... it'd probably scare a normal person. But what I've been doing works for me, just strive to be healthy!
