Anybody else not care how much they weigh as long as they lo

mgmlap

My doc wants me to be between 130-140. I would be comfortable with 135..or be at the point where nothing jiggles anymore. ....I would be happy with that. Doc also wants me to be a size 4..but I got hips..with or without the fat..so I dont think that is feasible for me..but just not to be like jello anymore

I don't own a scale, never have, never will. I have been weighing myself at work and won't be back there for 6 more weeks, so won't weigh myself again until then. To me it's more about how I look and feel. I want to fit into my "skinny" clothes and stay there! I want to feel that I have more energy, flexibility, and stamina. I want to be healthy! None of that has to do with a number.

omg Scott I COMPLETELY hear you! And in your exact words! "I just want to look good naked" LMAO That is exactly what I told my boyfriend when he told me I was stressing too much about losing pounds haha no one gets it! I don't give a crap about the number until I look in that mirror and like what I see!

Lol yep When i look in the mirror and say i'd hit that. Then I'm where I wanna be haha

I care but at the same time I don't. My main goals are to come off my blood pressure medicine and feel better about myself. I was happy at 180lbs, but was considered overweight. I didn't care because I felt and looked good at 180lbs. Right now I'd be happy to get down to 200lbs. I'll probably never look good naked after a gain of 80lbs and having a baby.

Right now its a numbers game and it has been since I started losing but once I drop another 10-20lbs then i will start worrying about toning up and looking good naked. Once I am in the range of 185-200lbs it will be about the looks and maintaining not about the weight.

I don't care what the scale says, but I do weigh myself. When I joined this the first time my goal was 130-135 but I was happy at 140 and just tried to maintain from there and failed miserably by the way. So here I am again and I do wiegh myself because it is the best way for me to see if I am gaining, losing or maintaining the wieght sneaks up on you I swear oneday I fit my clothes and the next I was nearly 2 pant sizes bigger I have to believe if I was wieghing myself I would have seen I had went up 5 lbs and worked harder to not gain.

i weigh myself day, night, midday omg it is ridiculous because all it seems everyone labels themselves as height and especially weight. I agree with you and will hide my scale for a while because it is becoming a beast in my bathroom. Thank you for your post!

mmiiaa

I'm the same way!

I just wanna look good. I think I'm going to start measuring myself along with tracking my weight. I care more about the inches than pounds any day.

Yeah, I'm sort of just aiming for what's considered a healthy weight for me, but I intend to stop when I'm satisfied with how I look and feel. That's all I want.

lauralhicks

Lol that works too;-)

Yeah, numbers are great and all, but it's definately how you feel and look. Take me for example, I think 240 MIGHT be a good weight for me, but I'll never truly know until I get there.

songbyrdsweet

Same!! I can generally gauge how I'll look at a certain lower weight compared to a certain higher weight, but pretty much every time I've gained some weight, it's been fat and muscle, because I never stop lifting! I am aiming for 125-130, but I might love 132 or 118. Who knows. I already like how I look, just want my legs a bit more lean.

That's how I felt even when I started on here. I just wanted to be healthier and happier with how I looked and felt. My goal was to be able to run a 5k. I figured if I could run the whole distance, then I was in pretty good shape, no matter what the scale or BMI said.

I really didn't think weight loss was a possibility for me. I thought my body was at it's happy place, just a tad bit overweight, which seemed ok for being 38. I wasn't going to compromise the food that I loved to have a skinnier *kitten*.

Turns out I didn't need to. I still enjoy the foods I love. I just pay attention to portions and don't mindlessly graze on foods, and fell in love with exercising. I never felt deprived. I never turned down a dessert or drink by saying, "I can't..."

Losing weight is fun. It's a great sense of accomplishment watching the numbers drop. But in the end, the numbers are meaningless. At the point I'm at now, I probably won't lose more than a few more pounds, and I might even gain a few while I'm continuing to get more fit.

And not only can I run a 5k, and a lot more, I can run it uphill and on trails. I can jump fire and scale walls and crawl through mud. In a bikini top and mini-kilt. And that is way more fun than watching a number drop.

I was weight obsessed until I got into that healtyh BMI.
Now looking good and having a nice toned stomach, arms, etc. is of more importance.
Personally I think it's healthier for me since I can ecome OBSESSED with those numbers.

DarkOctoberNight

I. Just. Want. Abs!! That and I'd like to be able to wear a bikini in public. May sound shallow, but I've never had a flat stomach.
