Last Half Stone - Help!

glasgow-chick said:
From your photos rascalsilver you don't look like you need to lose anything. If you lost half a stone you would just look gaunt and unhealthy. Girlies aren't supposed to have completely flat stomachs anyway. I bet your boyf loves you just the way you are!

He does indeed, I feel really sorry for him because I couldn't cope with a girlfriend like me! I'm just sick of celebrities going on about what they weigh, it makes me feel inferior. Like Melinda Messenger who is taller than me but weighs 7 1/2 stone, or Kylie Minogue who weighs 7 stone. There is a simple answer I suppose - I should just stop reading the magazine which promote this image, but i'm bizarrely obsessed :oops: :D

Utterly utterly agree.

Take note Dual_Life...these are the kind of comments girls like to hear! ;)

If you read my entire post, the one with the comment everyone found so offensive, you would of seen at the end I told rascal that she's not fat (in fact I checked the height/weight scale at health class and she's perfectly in the "healthy" range") and I told her to be confident in her self. I don't like girls that are so skinny that it looks like they just shot up heroin. I like girls with curves. Girls with no curves look like they are ten years old- Prepubecent; before they get their big surge of estrogen and progestrone that gives them breasts and a buildup of fat around the pelvis- otherwise known as "Curves". Curves up top and at the bottom are a sign of womanhood. Without them, the woman dosn't have the 1:1.618 ratio of beauty and looks like she belongs in elementary school.

What am I saying? I like healthy girls.

I'm not going to starve myself anymore, been there, I'd like to keep my hair, and I'm not going to overeat because I don't want to weigh 128 kilograms again. I expect the girl that I am with to be comfortable enough in her body not to do either of those also.

And if anyone took offense to my comment about aneorexia, sorry, I'll stick to political and religious jokes :D
 
Don't worry Dual, the joke wasn't in great taste but I think you were getting a lot of shit for it that wasn't neccessary, I've heard people get away with a lot worse. I'm sorry to hear about your eating disorder, I've probably mentioned already that I too went through something similar when I was 14, where I lost loads of weight (and my hair). You should congratulate yourself for getting through it because its difficult to make yourself well again - with me, I knew that I ought to eat but my body was rejecting food because wasn't used to eating - its weird. Anyway! I hope we didn't pick on you too much :D
 
Ive been thinking about coming off the pill for a bit, only just changed mine tho :?

My mate came off it and lost loads of weight in two weeks, she looked really good.

I'm going to give this one a try (Diannette I think its called) and if it gives me any bad side effects I'm coming straight off.
 
Rascalsilver, I agree with the rest of the peeps who have said you definately don't need to lose any weight, but I can sympathise with you in the sense that if you personally haven't reached your goal, then if you're not happy with yourself then it makes no difference what people think.

I have just started on my own diet plan (another one :roll: ) I'm basing it on the weight watchers points system but still doing it my own way, if you get what I mean :?: I've lost 3lbs in a week so fingers crossed if I carry on like this I will reach my goal by Ibiza in June!! :twisted:

Babe,weight doesnt mean a thing,im 5'5 and a size 8 and i weight over 9stone...and thats due to muscle weighing more then fat ... please ditch the scales and focus on dress size's if anything...i used to be exactly like you only until about a year ago maybe less..its a very unhealthy way to live and it becomes obsessive.
From what ive seen of your pic's you are tiny as it is and would look plain wrong being any smaller..
I cant comment on the flat tummy thing cause thats one thing i am obsessed about myself :roll:

I hate hearing you girls talk like this esp when your all so small,it makes me sad that celebritys and society does this to people...
I hope in a few years you grow out of it cause not only is it unhealthy its dangerous....
ive been a size 6 and about 7 stone and it took a holiday snap for me to snap out of it....
have a bit more faith in yourself...think about the disabled people,people with scars,people with genetic orders that make them fat or people who have horrific burns,lost their arms or legs etc...and think just how lucky you are,not only are you healthy your pretty and people love you..

sorry for the essay :oops:
 
I lost a stone and a half (21 lbs) since christmas by cutting out all crap from my diet (but still eating loads of healthier stuff) and doing 5 hours medium-high intensity cardio work at the gym per week.

Now i'm at my ideal weight i'm gonna stick to the healthier eating but concentrate more on endurance/stamina and strength training......but without bulking up or increasing body weight too much. I want to reduce my body fat % a bit more too. I'll be happy with about 15/16% I'm at about 18% now.

Still have exceptions though like if i eat out for dinner (av twice a week) i'll still eat whatever i want and lots of it, and i've had the odd late night/after club bag of chips or burger.

Thats just me though, everyones different with what works for them i guess!

How are you working that points system - I'd like to try something like that but I don't want to join Weight Watchers!

Well my mum joined Weight Watchers back in '02 and kept all the points books so I've got all that already :lol: I'm far too scabby to pay £5 every week to get weighed, so I just do it on my own really. Stick by the points as much as you can. If you weigh under 10 stone you're allowed 18 points per day, 10-12stone is 20 points per day etc etc.

I find it easier to do because I can still eat the things I want, but if I know I'm going out for a curry for example, I'll have a really light breakfast/lunch, maybe do an hour down the gym (earns you more points), then use up whatever points I've got left for the curry.

My friend lost 2 stone on it in a few months so it definately does work, you just gota be strict with yourself! Difficult for me to do as I used to be able to eat anything and stay slim, obviously getting older now and my metabolism is slowing :evil:

It's ok, Kitty - I know exactly what you're saying - I tell myself this all the time and I'm better now than I was a few years ago - maybe because the older I get the more important things I have to worry about. I really do blame the media (I started buying magazines when heroine-chic was in) for a lot but it isn't solely their fault.
