50ish lbs down? Not sure!

I'm so glad that I can inspire others to do better. Lord knows I really needed inspiration over the last year. Admitting to having a very unhealthy relationship with the scale was so extremely hard. I denied it for so long. My fiancé took it away at one time, but instead of continuing to eat healthy and exercise, I stopped everything and gained a few pounds. This time, I refused to go backwards. I hope that this has helped others, because I know that losing weight can be as big of a mental challenge as it is physical.


Congrats on all of your success as well!

ladiburr, I think that is a very realistic goal, and I do think that can be done, but it will take a lot of hard work and determination, as you already know. However, if you don't reach the goal- give yourself some credit for what you DO achieve.

Well done, you! You look fantastic and the change in the tone of your arms is amazing!

Fantastic and such a wonderful story! You look amazing, but the best part is the way you now feel about yourself now having kicked the scale to the curb. It is so easy to get obsessed with that number, but this lifestyle change takes time. There is no overnight long term success.

The photos and your NSVs are positive reinforcements of the progress you made. There are so many things that can change and influence the number on the scale. Besides you know that you have lost weight and will continue to make progress.

Wonderful! Your hard work shows. Ii had the same problem with the scale. Weighing many times a day- even in the middle of the night. Also I would forget the number almost immediately. It was making me completely miserable and quite insane. One day,. I secretly donated it to to a charity shop. Then my family wanted to wiegh suitcases for a flight and couldn't find it:laugh: . I bought another one....now Im starting to again to weight alot. I will have to put it in the back of a closet so it's inconvenient to find. I will take your lead and look for NSV. Our stories are very similar. Thanks for the inspiration. Enjoy your dates.

I just had this experience this morning... This week I ate 4500 calories below to meet at least a 1 pound difference from last week. When I got on the scale this morning, I was only down 1/2 pound.... I'm so pissed. Like you were I'm getting very frustrated that the scale is not justifying the blood sweat and tears i'm doing in the gym and the discipline I am eating with. I guess I have to try your approach and just not weigh in for a few weeks.

Way to go! I have issues with the scale too to the point where my therapist told me not to weigh myself at all. I eat healthily and exercise and use my changing pant sizes to gauge how things are going. I'm down two sizes since the beginning of July.

Congratulations! You look fantastic!
