I feel absolutely disgusting.

stacezilla

I just did body measurements and my results were VERY unpleaseasing. Sigh.



Me:




Seriously so depressing to see numbers like that. I'm trying, but...ugh.

stacezilla

Well, apparently I don't know how to add pictures...so..

delaney056

Make the IMG's lowercase.

dangerousdumpling

I guess I can't help with your pictures either!
I suggest you check out the success stories threads. Everyone has to start somewhere. Do your best to be positive. If you really try this could be the last time you weigh however much you weight and you'll look different in one months time. Just get started!

stacezilla

Thank you!

myofibril

You just had to change IMG to lower case.

I think you look very pretty and if you are wearing Hunters I may fall in love with you

stacezilla

I am! I loooooooove my hunters.

Lol, thank you

BrittanyNBuchanan

I think you look good...

beautifulbeast11

I think you look great!

But I understand... sometimes it's hard to not let the numbers effect or mood or make us think that all of our efforts aren't doing anything.. but they are

To make you feel less disgusting, you are 3 lbs. away from my goal! We are the same height, but I am 183 right now. You look gorgeous!

melaniecheeks

Why are the numbers making you feel this way? How long have you been working at this, and what were you expecting? You must be pretty near your goal.

I know I'm not crazy overweight or anything. But, it makes me feel this way because for most of my life I lived comfortably in the 125-130 range. So jumping 20-25lbs was something I really was unhappy with. I don't fit in my clothes anymore and I'm not comfortable in my own skin. I'm not pretending I have bigger problems than anyone else, but I'm just unhappy with myself.


The numbers in particular make me feel even more disgusting because it puts it in perspective more. My hips/waist ratio puts me at risk for coronary diseases and diabetes (according to some studies)


I've only been working a month, really. I haven't been expecting much, but it's still depressing to see.

My goal is getting back to 130.

The three of us are the same height, I'm at 185, and I'd LOVE to get to 150.
I think the OP looks great, too.

miss_rye_

Every one has a starting point. I am not looking forward to my measurements, but I know in a month I will see PROGRESS and those first set of numbers will just be that, numbers.

celticmedic

You look great! Just remember every voyage has a beginning

melaniecheeks

You've made a great start, we'll do e on what you've achieved in a month. come back here in another month and see what progress you've made!

jesz124

Unsure if OP is fishing or genuine. Your hardly obese girl. One look in the mirror could tell you that....?

Capt_Apollo

i don't understand what you are upset about?? are you upset about being awesome?

emrldisle94

I know exactly what you mean... I was comfortable at 134 and now I am 148 as well. It is all stress related - my cortisol must be through the roof. Deployments, moving to a foreign country (1/2 way around the world)- you name it and it has happened to me. I am done with excuses and just want to get toned back up and comfortable in my clothes again.
I love spin and Insanity and that is how I plan to do it.
You look great by the way- don't be so hard on yourself (says the girl who picks herself apart!).

onyxgirl17

What is your body fat %? I think that is what is bothering you, your body composition. I was looking at your numbers and I'm 5'5"1/2 and my waist is 27 inches and hips 39 inches at 144 pounds... so I think it's your body composition.

Your pictures look good to me though!! Don't be hard on yourself... and lift heavy things!

nhlgeezer

You look great just so you know. Keep up the good work it'll pay off!

onyxgirl17

I plugged your numbers in a body fat calculator and it says your body fat % is 33%. That's as high as mine was at my heaviest. It's not your "weight" that's necessarily the problem. It's that you have a low amount of muscle for the weight you are carrying.

dangerousdumpling

I'm not pretending I have bigger problems than anyone else, but I'm just unhappy with myself.

I apologize. I did not mean to make you feel like your feelings about your weight are insignificant because I weigh more than you. I should have added that because you haven't gotten as gigantic as me you don't have as far to go and maybe it's not as bad as you think. You have the chance to get your weight and health under control before you become obese. Your goals are no less important than mine.

Pinkigloopyxie

You're always going to have wide hips, just fyi, it's your body type. For comparison, I'm 5'10, 45" hips.

Dont stress over things you can't change...unless you've got money to have them cut you open and shave your hip bones, ew.

Just keep at it, everything takes time, I know everyone always says that though.

stacezilla

Haha, I know! The hips is the one thing I'm not really worried about. They have ALWAYS been that way. Even when I was 20lbs lighter. People make fun of me and say I have birthing hips lol.

stacezilla

There is NO need to apologize. I completely understood what you meant. I was just trying to give my explanation for why I'm bothered by it. I'm naturally wordy and always feel the needs to clarify myself, lol. Even when clarifications aren't needed...

stacezilla

Sigh. I know I'm not obese. I wasn't trying to say I was overly fat or anything -.-

I understand.

jesz124

No sighing required me thinks....you could of taken my comment as a compliment....see the positive not the negative, oh and i second the lift heavy things comment. Wide hips....I have always been pear shaped, and I have found they do get smaller the longer you work at it, weight lifting has deffo helped reduce mine by at least 4-5 inches. Give it a try!! x

XXXMinnieXXX

I'd kill to be at 148 and I think you look great! X
