Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 I have a question for those that are at or close to their goal. When you got to a certain point in your weight loss did you sort of feel the pounds coming off? I am about 25 pounds from goal and I swear I can feel myself getting thinner every week. I don't really know how to describe it. I can see it when I walk by a mirror and I can tell when I'm putting lotion on in the morning and my ankles feel smaller and little things like that. When my daughter climbs on me it hurts more cause she's getting bigger and I have less padding. Maybe it's because I am exercising more often and firming up too. I dind't loose much this week (1/2 pound) but I still feel thinner. It's just this strange but really neat feeling! I also think I'm becoming adicted to exercise. I keep getting these weird fidgetty feelings like I have lots of energy and can't sit still for very long and I have a need to exercise to get rid of it (or build it up maybe). Anyway, just wondering if anyone else experienced this or if I'm just going nuts ;o) Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 I can relate to addicted to exercise. If I don't exercise, I get jittery and I can't sleep as well. And my body looks better when I've been exercising regularly. And this is not insane at all; it's healthy and your body is loving you for it. In fact, I think it's Covert who contends that being fit is more important than being at the ideal weight. > I also think I'm becoming adicted to exercise.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Good to know that I'm not insane ) I can honestly say that I NEVER thought I would enjoy exercise so much. I made it through the first six months on WW without doing any! It wasn't until I was two or three months into my plateau that I decided maybe I should get off my rear and do something. And even then I didn't enjoy doing it, it was just something that needed to be done. Kris Re: Weight loss stuff I can relate to addicted to exercise.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 I know exactly what you mean. You can indeed feel it, and as you get closer to goal I think it's easier to know just by looking whether you'll have a gain, a loss or a maintain. I know this isn't always true because a person can lose inches but the scale may stay the same. But as I get closer to goal I can indeed tell by my toning and how my clothes feel whether I'll be a " loser " or not in a given week. This week, for instance, I felt such a change and sure enough a pound and a half was gone. So no, you're not crazy--unless we both are!!
