I think it's true that if you eat healthy and exercise your body will know what weight fits you right.

Shelley you look great and you're such an inspiration and motivation to me, don't let the scale define your mood, you know better!

Congrats! I am so inspired!

2010-06-22T23:06:56.850-05:00

You look amazing and no it is not all about the number on the scale. I couldn't agree with your more on that point!

2010-06-22T21:30:25.017-05:00

Wow, look at your go! I remember when you decided to stop looking at the scale for a while and to concentrate on running and being healthy. Looks like it is paying off!

WOW!!!

I've said before how much you rock, and I'll say it again. GO YOU!

Congrats on the weight loss. You have done great. I wish I could run it seems to be working for you.

2010-06-22T08:22:24.358-05:00

I am struggling to be in this place, the one where I can not worry about the scale. I go back and forth week to week. I hate the scale, the scale is my friend, the scale is stupid, the scale is giving me love. I'm right now in the "scale is stupid" phase. I've been stuck for a while, then lost two pounds, then gain one (for no good reason) then stuck again. Driving. me. batty. You're doing awesome! Thanks for the inspiration!

2010-06-22T07:52:04.219-05:00

It isn't all about the scale - not by a long shot. But I'm happy for you. So happy.

Can you see me grinning from ear to ear?

Congratulations on your loss! Why not get giddy, you've worked hard to lose and it's very exciting to do so. I love summer fruit too although raspberries and the like are in our shops now (winter). Keep up the good work and thanks for the inspiration.

have a great week!

You are a dynamo Shelley and yes we will be here to remind you :)

We are creatures that need quantifiable proof of our ongoing success...I checked in with the scale this morning after my trip home...thankfully it was kind to me.

I see nothing wrong with the scale...nothing at all.

The important thing is that you took time to recognize and celebrate the achievement. Just because you are doing great as an intuitive eater, doesn't mean you can't hoot and holla about the scale's proof of your hard work.

Congrats on seeing the new low number. I know we&...

2010-06-21T14:17:27.236-05:00

Congrats on seeing the new low number. I know we're not supposed to be all focused on it, but I'm afraid I know exactly how you feel. I feel invincible on those days I see a new low.

2010-06-21T12:48:10.063-05:00

The battery in my scale needs to be replaced. It's a weird size so I haven't gotten to it yet. I'm an obsessive weigher. I've been know to do it multiple time a day. I'm think the break of not weighing myself for a bit might be a good thing.

2010-06-21T11:05:35.348-05:00

Can I switch scales with you?? I am so proud of you Shelley - remember when you had that long stretch where you were on a plateau - and look at you now!

Definitely kicking it up a notch this week!

2010-06-21T10:43:05.884-05:00

I swear it's the running. When I was doing around 12 miles a week (not much I know) I couldn't eat enough to keep weight on.
It's amazing and I loved it.
In fact, I printed out a schedule next week to get back to that.

That's awesome, Shelley! You're melting a...

2010-06-21T10:35:52.066-05:00

That's awesome, Shelley! You're melting away. You have definitely earned it with all of your had work and you look fantastic.

I love that quote. Think I'll gnaw on it for a while too. I hte my scale until it starts saying sweet things to me and then I always forgive it. It's like returning to a bad relationship. LOL

2010-06-21T09:43:45.953-05:00

What an awesome philsophy! You're doing pretty good at internalizing it, too :)

And congrats on that NUMBER!! Wow! If I EVER see that number, yeah, walking on the moon comes to mind!

Great Job Shelley! You work so hard on your health...

2010-06-21T09:41:29.237-05:00

Great Job Shelley! You work so hard on your health and fitness you deserve for the scale to move your way :)

2010-06-21T09:17:39.579-05:00

Funny. I just wrote it's not about the number, and mine is going the other way.
I'm still the same me. If I do what YOU are doing, I can have the number go down and it can still be not about the number, but it sure helps to feel better.
Yay for you, Shelley.

You know I get you sistah! I'm really working...

2010-06-21T09:02:33.104-05:00

You know I get you sistah! I'm really working on that eating when hungry stopping when full and exercising, and accepting my body the way it is. I'm not weighing this week, but the truth is, its because I'm afraid the scale would be going the wrong direction. And yes, if I saw a loss , I would be giddy.

Congrats, ya big LOSER! The body she is fickle, n...

2010-06-21T08:53:54.201-05:00

Congrats, ya big LOSER! The body she is fickle, no? Funny how you aren't doing anything different, but you're still loosing.

You've earn this!

2010-06-21T08:53:35.859-05:00

Weigh to go, Shelly! Take this little victory and add it to the fact that you can wear size 8 (or 6) pants and smile. You're shaping up nicely.

2010-06-21T08:22:38.458-05:00

Just hang on to that losing feeling! Don't question the fates. :D

You are now in that nebulous territory of "where do I stop?"

2010-06-21T08:15:13.351-05:00

Hi Shelley, I just found your blog this morning and all I can say is, "Wow - you are sheer inspiration!" I too am in my 40's (47), recently lost 40 lbs., (10 to go) and have started running (after not running for 30 years). I'm so giddy to have found another 40ish blogger that I can look to for motivation. Thanks so much!!
