No weigh in for me today as I've been poorly and off plan all weekend. Putting it down as a "holiday" and hoping to get back on the wagon today!
lost 2.5lbs last week...was suprised and relieved! I am 3.5 lbs away from club 10 and not set a target weight yet...how did you decide on yours?! I'm 5'3 and never been a healthy weight for my height since I was a child....
I need to set a new target soon....
I think some people find it hard when a friend who was over weight becomes healthy in their weight sometimes?!
I know exactly what you mean. I'm currently sitting around 15.5st and keep getting comments that I need to stop dieting/must be near target now etc. As you say, clearly I'm not too skinny or in danger of body dismorphic disorder (that's what it's called, right?). I've even had a close (immediate) family member oh so helpfully tell me I'll "never be slender", I "shouldn't aim to lose all the excess weight because you'll have rolls upon rolls of excess skin and that's ugly" and that my "boobs are gone". Also that 11st 12lb is an unrealistic target weight for me and I'll never get there (I'm 5ft 8 and that would give me a bmi of 24.9). It's no wonder people find it so hard to lose weight when the people who are supposed to be your biggest cheerleaders are so caught up in their own insecurities that they can't see what they are doing.
