When to say, "Enough is enough"

Mack Mama nice pics. You are working those shorts. I've just starting weight lifting and can't wait until my legs and arms show more definition.
If I lose 6 more lbs I will still be considered "overweight" according to my BMI. In order to be considered normal I think that is at 132. I'm just going to keep going until I achieve the look I want. I'm not trying to be skinny by any means (my head is too big for that, I'd look like a lollipop. LOL) just slim(mer). Who knows maybe I will look at the numbers on the scale differently as well. 140lbs may not be my goal but muscle weighs more than fat, who knows how the weight training will change my idea of my goal weight.

I will tell you that weight lifting is the TRUTH!!!!  As you get into it, you'll feel your strength grow and see changes in your body.  Good eye on knowing what muscle will do for your body - and you may have to change your goal a bit because of it.  185 is my 'preferred' weight - but my body just ain't letting it happen!  I'm still trying - but not obsessed with it.  I'm just fine in my 12s and 14s - XL in misses is just fine with me.

We all obsess about the # - that's just how we will be - but the mirror is just as important to look at too.

......oh - and you're right about the big head thing..... I got a big head too (mofos call me Gina as a joke) and at size 8 - I was looking jus a tad Star Jones-ish

I am in a 12-14 now and I am happy. I would be satisfied if I didn't lose another pound.  Of course I am still obese by the bmi charts.


I think as long as you are healthy, eating right, and your labs are good you should be fine.  As long as you don't have any eating disorders and  are not malnourished, go for whatever makes you happy.

LOL @ MM. Even before WLS people told me that my head was too big for my body I can't even imagine what they say now. Well actually I can, my aunt called me a bobble head the other day. I just rolled my big head around and kept it moving. LMAO
