lose weight (read all 17 entries…)

(Lack of) Progress  — 1 year ago

I appear to be stuck at 170, so I’ve not even hit 12st yet. Perhaps this is the weight I’m supposed to be.

supposed to be?

What’s your BMI now?

24.4

I was hypothesizing that maybe there was a natural weight that my body “preferred” to be at. More likely it’s just a plateau I guess.

On the plus side, at least I’m not putting any weight back on.

My body...

...definitely has a weight it prefers to be at, but it’s not the right one! I will have to keep working to convince it of that, though. The weekend away involved much sitting and much eating (graduation open house), plus a trip to Krispy Kreme in Omaha, and then one of my meetings yesterday was an end-of-the-year celebration potluck. Bad news.

I have faith in both of you! Hopefully you’re not like me and having to lose 75 lbs to be healthy…I think the three of us can definitely focus and do what we need to, to get the ball rolling again. :)

I'm considered a healthy weight

My BMI is within the “normal” range, but I’m not comfortable with my weight as it is. I also think BMI is somewhat misleading in my case, because I am small boned and I am not at all muscular. Therefore, a normal BMI probably means I have a bit too much body fat.

I’ve been both 20 pounds higher and 20 pounds lower than I am right now. I’d be happier about 6 pounds down, and much happier about 14 pounds down from where I am now. It doesn’t sound like much, but it’s noticable.

I have to say, if I weren’t consciously trying to lose weight (and not succeeding), I am positive that I would be steadily gaining, and that would not be good. It will be a continuing battle for me, I imagine for the rest of my life.

I'm afraid it will...

be a struggle for me forever, too. Thanks for that link, though! (I had one somewhere, but that one will be easy to locate in the future.)

I am trying to stay positive, because you both have really taught me I can give up stuff with a pretty good level of success. I just get discouraged that I have to give up so much sometimes. It seems like every time I have made any exceptions the past several weeks I’ve gone way overboard, so that’s the reason I am deciding to give up on some items rather than try moderation…I don’t seem to have a great deal of self control sometimes lately.

I think...

...losing another six pounds would put me at a reasonable weight, even if I fluctuated a couple of pounds or so.

Bodies are stubborn

I don’t know if my body has a preferred weight, or if it just likes to get bigger and bigger!

Oops.

“Luckily” I don’t have temptations such as Krispy Kreme here.

Yeah

And today it was Cold Stone Creamery. We needed to celebrate the end of school and the beginning of summer!

I feel...

...even “luckier” now… :-(

Though I should add...

...I’m glad you got to go. :-)

For heaven's sake

I just looked at the store location finder on the Krispy Kreme site. There are Krispy Kremes all over England but none in Scotland! I’d rebel.

I'd prefer to move.

I have heard (from an American) that they’re just not the same in England, like the mix has gone stale or something.

They’re not even selling new franchises:

Krispy Kreme no longer has franchise opportunities or development rights available in the United Kingdom.

Oops

I accidentally cheered this goal.

;-)

Well...

...I haven’t put any weight on from it. :-)
