    Well, another week with no more weight loss :cry:
    It IS my TOM, but I don't like using that as an excuse. I can't seem to break into the 50s and I keep telling myself that it's not just about a number, it's about health, but I would really love to get to my goal of 144 because I haven't weighed that in a really long time and even when I did weigh that much, I thought I was fat and it's so stupid because the obsession with a number is overriding all of the positive changes I am making. I am really stressed out I think because this weekend I'm running my first half-marathon in Napa and, I mean, COME ON! I have skinny friends that can't even walk up a flight of stairs without huffing and puffing because they are so out of shape! If only I could stop obsessing and just learn to accept. We only get one body and life is too short to worry about some society-manufactured, unattainable ideal of perfection. Okay, a little too early in the morning to be so serious :laugh:
    Good job to everybody! You are all an inspiration about what this is really about!

    YOu really sound like you already have your own solution :smile: We all get a little obsessive about numbers....its not just you.... BUT look at what you have accomplished. You are running in a half marathon!!!! That's amazing!! How incredibly proud you have to be. I wish I was where you are now.... BUT I know steady plodding and I WILL get there.
    Try to take the moments and be happy and proud of yourself! You HAVE accomplished great things in your weight loss journey.... I also know that the closer you get to your goal, the slower it comes off :wink: But you are making HUGE strides to a healthier you and that is what this journey is REALLY all about :drinker:

    Somehow I'm just feeling really hurt by it, they know how hard I struggle, it' s a small office and we're all very close. I think they are bothered that I'm losing and making an effort but they aren't(we all have wieght issues)

    Yay! I had a good weigh in!

    SW: 142
    LW: 137
    CW: 135.8

    I just want to say, Daisy_May, that was not cool how people rubbed the ice cream in your face. Next time, don't let it show that it bothered you! It's the old school yard thing where they do it to get a reaction! Besides, eating an ice cream cone would've made you feel like crap all day long. I bet some of those people had upset tummy's all day!! :laugh:

    Morning Ladies!
    Well I didn't have such a great week. I am actually up two pounds from last week. I think I am destined to weigh 175! I just need to get out of the 170's for my own piece of mind! I have even been working out harder-burned 3300 calories last week! Sunday alone I went on a mtn bike ride-22 miles almost 3 hours! THIS IS NOT FAIR!!!:explode:
    Ok, enough of my rant. I just hope that next week will be better. We are leaving on vacation the 29th of July and I wanted to be 168-165 by then. FAT CHANCE...
    Have a good afternoon all!

    Honestly, some people can be so hurtful. :frown: And for some reason ... it hurts more coming from the ones we're close to. I just want to say CONGRATULATIONS for not giving in to their taunts. Seriously, that was a great accomplishment. They'll get use to the fact that your making a lifestyle change and back off eventually. It's been said that the best revenge is your own happiness. To heck with them ... YOU ROCK!!!!:flowerforyou:

    I know how you feel...my mother-in-law just did the same thing with Dunkin' Doughnuts! Went so far as trying to put it on my lips and having me smell it. She thought it was so funny. The funny thing is I really felt nothing and didn't even want it. When I step on that scale and it is down even an ounce I am the happiest person in the world. They can HAVE the doughnuts and ice cream- stay strong!:laugh:

    Oh, wow! NOT COOL!!! So, you right...... when you're 50 lbs lighter you can say, "you shouldn't have had that ice cream"!!! :laugh:
    Its so going to be worth it. AND you are also setting an amazing example for those other guys....whether you realize it or not. Keep it up!! :drinker:

    Ok, these rude people are just mad because they know that they should be doing what you are doing! Good for us for finding others that understand how hard this really is. Go MFP!
    When they need to lose a few pounds you can be there to help support them and that will be the best way for them to understand what they should be doing to help you now!

    Well I am days late for weigh in I know. Back from vacation. Up 2 lbs. I am hoping it is mostly water weight, I would even just like to be back down those 2 lbs for Monday's weigh in.

    Looks like most people had excellent weeks. Great job everyone.
