I just talked to my running coach and she said that work outs are the same as eating - if you do the same thing over and over again that you'll stop seeing results because your body gets more efficient at what ever you're doing (eating, Awesomerness Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764482586033747029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347847582408317807.post-6148491032009226442013-01-16T15:27:26.627-06:002013-01-16T15:27:26.627-06:00You know, I think you find as you get smaller, tha...You know, I think you find as you get smaller, that your body will tell you things. It also depends on BF %, maybe changing your workout routine a bit. I know you run a lot, but how often do you strength train? How heavy can you lift? I'm focusing now more than ever on strength and lifting because it will help a lot to get me to my goal weight. And if leans me out more, than even better!

Thank you f...I never was a big fan of stats ... :)<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words... I guess I need to think about this some more since I'd only ever considered hitting my goal weight as the ending. Perhaps that was slightly naive all things considered.

I once read that the definition of a healthy weight was one where you could do the things you most wanted to do. Does that mean gaining strength (and maybe weighing a bit more) or losing weight? Depends on who you are and what your Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06653724618065817001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347847582408317807.post-29513789111401233062013-01-16T11:47:46.935-06:002013-01-16T11:47:46.935-06:00I think you look amazing!

I'm certainly no expert but my thoughts would be to maybe just stop worrying about the scale at all. Just keep doing what you are doing! If your body wants/needs to loose more weight it will. If you are where you should be, your weight will level off. Either way it is taking the focus off the scale and putting Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01194243578973272822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347847582408317807.post-32414227965541885232013-01-16T11:42:10.891-06:002013-01-16T11:42:10.891-06:00I'd love to be in the position where I was won...I'd love to be in the position where I was wondering if I've met my goal. <br /><br />I don't think I can answer this for you specifically.
