You feel good and your lookin good and you know you look good!!! That is half the battle there

I know, but when you see everyone else around you losing the pounds and changing their tickers, it makes you feel a little like a failure, like what am I not doing right?? Am I delusional or what?? Your mind just starts messing with you that's all. I'm okay with it, but I tell you what If I get down to that size 8 by November and I'm still at this weight, I'm going to throw that scale through the wall. LOL LOL LMAO!

I don't know, maybe that's the cause. I eat about 1600 calories a day give or take a 100. So I believe I eat enough to fuel my body, but I will look into that today, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Does anyone out there know, how I figure out what I SHOULD be intaking each day???? Any suggestions??

Calculate your physical activeitiy into sparks or fitday or whatever you use and it bases your food intake off of that...

Before I use to base things off of having a physical job and working out for 30 mins a day and it told me up to 1800 this was awhile back when I started doing htat it gave my body the jump it needed - Kim you work out so much or jsut try adding in some nuts...as you knwo they are high protein but also high cal...might be enough to test the theary...just make a cpl of snacks higher cals or sometihng - I dunno - Im far from an expert but Ive been stuck alot and had refocus - Im just throwing out things that worked for me...
 
Thanks Cider!! I'm willing to try just about anything at this point. I hate being stuck at something!! I'm to anal retentive to quit trying. LOL LOL

:) :) :) I really wanna see you succeed as well...and you are but I want to see you be happy and obtain whatever you are after!!! Ilike you:) :) :)
 
Isn't Cerella Bomb-Diggity?? :)

Yes she's right, it's how you feel, and you feel great, don't you? But I think if I was eating 1600 calories a day I'd waste away to nothing--maybe your body is like, "Oh god, famine time," and is doing something to preserve itself. Have you posted on Harsh Truth and asked for help? If you do let me know so I can read the thread........

btw, I thought your wedding picture was beautiful--but I also think you have re-compositioned your body for the better since then, She-Ra!

Hey Kim, glad you're over the drama...you probably will have a much more romantic time with just you and the hubby anyway. The situation you described was eerily similar to one that ended up totally ending the friendship between myself and a former best friend a couple of years ago....but I was in the role of the "bad friend" who kept instigating changes (which were accommadated) and then having to cancel out altogether....when I read your post I realized exactly how my former friend must have felt...somehow I never understood her anger over the situation and I ended up getting mad at her for being mad at me...whoops...I sincerely hope that you and your friend get past this and your friendship (if it's important to you) doesn't suffer as a result.

About our scale. In all honesty, I look at what you are doing, how happy and enthusiastic you are about your work-outs, the fact that you are losing inches, getting smaller and having all these positive physical changes that not just you, but others see as well....and to me it just looks like success on a major level. Did you ever see the photo Leigh posted a couple months ago of the guy who had a total physical transformation....I mean chubby and pudgy looking to lean and fit...and the caption was "five pounds difference?"

The first two/three months I was on this forum I was still in weight loss with the goal of losing about 5 more pounds...and in all that time I lost exactly one pound. One. But I lost inches (mostly in the tummy) and had a good drop in body fat. Right now I weigh a good 10lbs more than I did way back in the day when I was at my dead "thinnest"...but instead of a size five, I'm in a Junior's, there's no jello-like jiggle and wiggle in the butt and thighs and there's no flags waving on the back of my arms - all stuff that was present when the scale said what I "wanted". Imagine if no such thing as a scale even existed. Then you would be over the moon with satisfaction right now as you kept fitting into smaller clothes and got compliments. You'd have the accept the reality your tape measure, mirror, clothes, others are all telling you - "Kim is doing a wonderful job"...arrgh, I hate your scale:boxing:
 
CYM, The "thing" with my bf is over, but not our friendship. My girlfriend suffers from bipolar, so I just let things like this go away and don't make a big deal about it. We are going to have a great time, regardless I'm really excited about going and can hardly wait. I thank you so much for your support on my body image and how others too have had this same issue. I have not seen that post about the guy who transformed and only lost the 5lbs, I need to go check that out. I hear you on the jiggling, it's going away for me also, so from here forward, I promise not to mention my scale issue again. I should be very proud that at least it hasn't went up a pound right. LOL LOL I feel like my cardio is at it's tops and doing so good, I think I'm going to start trying to run a little more, I used to love running as a young adult, but got out of it in my Mid 20's, now when I run 2 miles, my lungs hurt, that sucks BIG TIME, I should have kept it up. Again thank you for your support and encouraging words, you are 100% right on, as always!

CYM is onto somthing here--same time in 2005 I was about what I am now, like 146. But I had "wiggle and jiggle" and such. Now I'm firm and totally different composition-wise. It's great!

You can mentionthe scale--it's YOUR thread!
YAY START RUNNING and join the Runner's Club!!!:jump:
 
good morning Kim,

Glad that you have the drama behind you well before your trip! Good for you logging in your 2400 at the gym...hoping you get something really cool on your spin! You are doing so well with everything...and I know the scale thing can really get your head messed up...but everything else is showing the results of your hard work! I have to remind myself that the scale is NOT the final word on this deal! But we have been programmed for all of our lives to believe otherwise, that it is a little hard to turn that message off in our heads! :)

Here is to a great day for ya!
 
Hi, Kim. That's why I have about 20 different goals for myself. If I'm failing at some of them, I can look at the others, where I'm doing OK. Sounds like you can do the same thing.

Having said all that, I know how powerful the scale is, er, the Scale Gods, sorry.

Oh heck yea...:) It just makes me feel bad that you're doing this fabulous job with signs of success all around you - but feeling less than successful because of it.....of course you can always mail the darn thing to me and once a week I'll promise to post: "Kim, today your scale says 145....today it says 144":)
 
VBF: The runners club???? I would come in last for sure, but I'm always up for a challenge, fill me in on that one please???

BETH: Your so sweet!! I know the scales SUCK! I think they are not honest, I'll go by my clothes and the mirror and screw the scales for awhile.

TOM: The scale gods have it in for me right now, but your right I need to put together a few goals and just go from there, GOOD POINT!! Thanks

CYM: Is it okay for a grown women to pee her pants at work, because if you post another one like that, it's going to happen right here!!! LOL LOL I'm going to mail that damn thing to you TODAY!!, but your more than welcome to come into my diary and tell me that today I'm weighing in at 170 lbs that would just make my day!! Thanks!

THANKS EVERYONE!!
 
Wow that woman is forunate to have a friend as forgiving and understanding as you are. I don't blame you for getting super angry, I would as well, she wasn't taking your and your husband's needs into consideration, but you are so lovely for getting over it quickly :hug2: CONGRATS on making 2400, I can't wait to see what you win!!! Everyone else has said everything I want to say regarding the scale, but I firmly believe that although I may have weighed this much a year ago, my clothes are fitting so much better at the exact same weight now than they did before. If I weigh exactly the same, but I can pull my jeans off of my hips without unbuttoning them, and those are jeans that were tight previously...scales can't see everything. I hope that made sense. Thanks so much for all of your support as well Kim! I hope you're having a nice night
 
I think you're a very kind person to let it go so easily.. People could do more to learn from your forgiving nature (me first!)

Well done on reaching 2400 miles - you really are a machine, aren't you...
 
2400 miles!!!!!!! OMG What a great achievement! I'm looking forward to hearing what you get from your spin.

ps Yep. Send the scales to cym.

:)
