So frustrated! Scale hasnt budged!

I dont know why people who dont know me, feel the need to judge. I have a very small frame and I can promise you that at 110lbs I do NOT look emaciated. That has never been the look I find attractive or aspire to. I have never been able to gain much muscle and I simply feel my best at that weight.. and I do not work out 24/7 or starve myself to get there. I started this thread becasue I was simply getting discouraged by not seeing an ounce of progress so far. Although I appreciate your concern and the few kind words you said, I know my body and I know how and where I carry my weight and at what weight I am comfortable with. We are all different in those aspects, so if you dont have something helpful or encouraging to add to the conversation, please dont. Thank you

I am not trying to "judge." I am trying to point out that as an adult, you are probably not going to weigh the same as you did 5 years ago when you were barely out of your teens. I'm just a fat old lady who has been there. I am 5'2", and have the bone structure of a hummingbird. I remember very clearly in my 20's wanting to lose 10 pounds and get back down to 105. But that is not REALISTIC. If you want to tone up, fantastic. But seriously throw away the scale. Eat healthy and do as much exercise as makes you feel good. Because I can guarantee 9/10 of looks is attitude.

She already said her clothes aren't fitting right. I'm going out on a limb here, sorry OP, but I'm willing to bet that if she lost 2 pounds and toned up and her clothes fit right and she felt better, she'd stop. I didn't read a single thing up there that said I HAVE TO DROP TEN POUNDS OR I'LL DIE AND MEN WON'T WANT ME.

I definitely don't condone people being PURPOSELY unhealthy, but I also don't condone people being aggressively judgmental to someone who essentially is just trying to tone up problem areas and look her absolute best-- which is what I got from reading it.
