Oh , My!

In the room of the hotel, where we were assigned during our teambuilding , there was a digital weighing scale. The last time I weighed was after our vacation last March 22- 27, and I was at 128 pounds . I was curious of how much I weighed now. I had been doing an everyday about 25-30 minutes exercises, consisting of mostly twisting, dumbbells and calisthenics , but never weighed yet. So, I was so surprised when I weighed and it’s 135 pounds . Oh my! 135 pounds! I thought, I lost some poundage because my stomach isn’t that big anymore though my jeans are a bit tight on the waist , hip and upper legs. Well, maybe my body mass got denser and besides, I like what I see in the mirror now whenever I am dressing up. Do you like your weight and how you look now , than before?

Oh my, 7 pounds is a bit "too much" to think that it's only a matter of "more muscles". I need to lose the 2 pounds I gained during winter, they must be gone by the end of the month. I am only eating grilled meat and grilled vegetables, no cakes, no desserts, I know they will be gone in 7 to 9 days.

Yes, that's what I am thinking of. I use the dumbbells to make my arms denser. Well, getting old means those arms softening. But at least , i am trying to make them denser.

Yeah, i was surprised when I open the wardrobe cabinet. Maybe because it's a beach resort and the guests keep swimming , they thought they would like the weighing scale which is appreciated much by us .

@Hannihar not eating at night is actually what make one lose weight. I tried that before amd it was effective. Though, i realized I am not nice looking when i am thin.

@SIMPLYD I will tell you what I did but people have to find their own ways to lose weight. It started in the summer maybe two years ago. In summer I do not want to eat much so that is easy and drink more and then carried into winter and usually in winter I want to eat but that winter I did not. I was so surprised and then into winter. i gave up snacks I do not need to eat. I do not eat inbetween meals anymore and just drink till the next meal. I do not eat much so when go out to eat I eat half and take the rest home for another meal. I take medication after my 2nd meal so only eat two meals. I do not eat at night anymore. So that is bascially my story.

There are days, i cannot help craving for burgers and fries. But that happens only about twice a.month. Maybe my exercise is not sufficient to burn them. I only have 15-20 mins a day since I have to budget my time in preparing myself for the office.

I think i wil ask my daughtet to determine my BMI. I don't know my BMI now. But physically , my friends and officemates say i look slim. Maybe that's because my extremities are slim.

Muscle weight is heavier than fat. If I got rid of the belly I would we very happy. I go to the YMCA daily and exercise daily. The first year I lost 50 pounds and I'm comfortable and happy that weight is long gone. I still lose but its about a pound every six months.

@SIMPLYD We joined the YMCA when it opened, it was the first one in our area and my husband and I both knew we needed to exercise and do need to lose pounds. I had gained weight by just not doing any exercise and it was easy to lose those first 50...I still lose but not very fast. We go to the Y every day and do our own exercises. We feel great now that we are both smaller and life is good...

That seems like a lot of weight to gain so quickly, but if you like how you look, that’s fine. I exercise and eat well as well as weigh myself ever day, including while at hotels. I’m content.

Yes, I like how I looked now. I am happy to see myself in shorts and sleeveless fitted t-shirt as my house dress at home. My stomach has deflated. And the love handles are not so protruding anymore. Really , you weigh yourself everyday. You are really a health buff. I only weigh myself whenever i feel I am getting fat.

@DianneN It's hard tp resist delicious foods. Let's just be thankful we have the appetite to eat. Others don' t have that anymore when they get older. Let's just compensate it with eating.

Sometimes the dress your wearing could add some weight on you. Maybe when you weigh yourself you were wearing light and now you were wearing something heavy like jeans or something.
