Taking it to 3000 calories & 3 back to back classes; I’m crapping on myself - seriously
October will be 4 months till my 5 yr anniversary of this journey. I’m ready to pee on myself. I swear, this body of mine is not working with me to let go of any weight. Well, let’s be real, I have not been on a scale for almost 3 weeks. I choose not to get on one. But I am freaking out as I always do. 
Funny thing is at the end of January My sweet buddy Tina and I are meeting up for the first time in Vegas. All I want is to lose the 8 lbs I gained in the last month and another 10.
You know, it’s so not easy to lose the last 15 lbs. I’ve tried about everything in terms of eating and exercising - mixing it up and you know, I can get a bit frustrated with it all. I ate less, I zigzag my calories, I increased my calories…….LOL I need to keep trying!
My honey, said to me yesterday, babe, no matter what you weigh, I will always love you! But as you know, in his secret fantasy world he would love for me to be at 180 lbs or heavier. I know many people would be happy to have a loved one wants them to gain weight but not me.
Well, as our team THE WILDCATS take on it’s second win this week, I’m re-focusing on me. And as I blogged yesterday, I’m not going to focus on the bad energy I feel here from certain people who are strangers to me. I am going to refocus on my health, my friends and my family.
Stress is not good for the body, the mind or my health. Nor is lack of sleep! I need to work on these two facts and I know somewhere along the way a couple of lbs may drop.
Today I plan on eating 2000 calories BEFORE hitting the gym for kickboxing and yoga. AND I may stay for the Step class. I think I can do it! :) If I take it up to 2500 calories I can stay for all three classes! It’s been almost 4 months since I did any 3 back to back but I’m ready to do it again!
Coming onto five years since a change in lifestyle now…wow.
I can imagine how hard those last fifteen pounds are gonna be @.@
If anybody can do it, though, then it’s gotta be you.
Best of wishes on those last few pesky pounds!

Hahah, loved your response to my blog… No Nancy, I don’t think I’M a piggie.. lmao..
YAY Wildcats! (Yes, I SO want in again!)
Your classes sound like so much fun!! Have a great time!
You have such a great outlook. I’m inspired each time I read your blogs. Keep up the great work, and I know you’ll see results!
Aisha, thank you so much!! I think that being here and blogging every day I forget at times that I’ve made progress in other areas other then the scale, but you know sometimes I want that scale to work WITH me.
Alright Miss Jacki!!!! I will re-introduce you to the team!
You know how to get to the forums right?
those last damn pounds are the worst!!!! but you look great already!!!!! the diff between you and other people (like me lol) is that you work your ass off all the time so you have muscle and are toned…while my last 15 are all fat fat fat lol!!! good luck with them though, i know you can do it!!!!!!!
Yes, you do look great and you are HEALTHY for life!
shesh lady. i would expand with those calories.
and yep sure know about them last 15 pounds dang it..pesky suckers
5 years! That’s longer than a new car warranty! Congrats…what shall we get you to celebrate?
you look great and you have made your life healthier! so thats good but to lose the last 15 lbs hmm im not sure why it wont get off! but best wishes keep at it!
Those last 15lbs…. grrrrrrr. So hard to lose. But you keep doing what you’re doing. You’re fit. You’re healthy. You will get there.

OMG! I know exactly how you feel. Why is it SO HARD to get the last bit of weight off??? You know I have no freaking clue, but sometimes just knowing you’re not alone helps!
Five years! Wow! I’m working on 2 myself; hope when I reach 5 I’m still going strong like you. 
Keep it up, keep blogging to work it out, you’ll get there!
In your case, you work out so frequently and intensely, I wonder if you don’t have a lot of muscle mass contributing to your weight? Have you ever had your body fat % checked at that gym of yours? It might boost your confidence to know that the last few lbs are so hard because they comprise your body’s “essential” fat, and therefore it does NOT want to let that go! If your bf% is already low, as I kind of suspect it is, that would have a lot to do with why the last few lbs are so hard for you. (I’m really curious now! lol)
you definitely need the Paul McKenna book and CD Nancy
5 years is so amazing. You should be so darn proud of yourself. It is frustrating though, I’m having trouble with my last pesky 100 pounds.
Good luck on eating so many calories, it sure won’t be easy! I say do it, go for it! Do all three classes!! I love it!! I’m still so jealous that you and Tina are going to have so much fun in Vegas!!! You need it though!!
Have a blast today!
I know the last few lbs are hard, hell I can’t get past the 170s BUT I know you can do this. I am still working on losing my gained weight too, I think I have lost it…no scale for me either!
Congrats on your 5 yr anniversary ! You are doing something right! You are such an inspiration to me.
girl i will be glad when i get to those last 15 lbs!
Congrats on 5 years! Wow! You do look amazing already… another 15 lbs and you might look so good it will hurt to look at you! lol
Have fun in Vegas and in those 3 classes! You ROCK!
Great job! You are an inspiration!
Nancy - if anyone can chase those last pesky pounds away it will be you. Best wishes and congrats!
Yeah I hear ya about wanting the scale to work with you especially after working so hard on this for so long.
But it really is so important to remember all the positive changes that you’ve made and are making everyday.
You’ve changed your life more than just your size.
That is priceless AND
It’s something to be very proud of my friend.
I am proud of you.
You need to be proud of you.
HUGS
Lori
oh I have more to say
LOL
just look at the statistics of how many people lose weight only to put it back on again
now look in the mirror
you are doing AMAZING
you haven’t gone back to your old ways and gained all your weight back
you won’t let that happen
no this isn’t easy
it’s a battle everyday
but its a battle you are winning because you are strong and determined and motivated
so you see, we are doing this
and you should be proud I am
thanks for a great blog that is also a good reminder to me
i know you will be able to get them off by then. just stick with what you said. not stress over it and it will come off.
that is what i am trying to do too.. and i saw jouni’s blog saying the same. i think we are all on the right path.
you can do it!! we can do it!!

Of all people to understand me - Lori - you are it!!!!
Thanks for always being there for me.
Yumika, girl - I feel you!
I saw this in the forum too….I agreee we are going down the right path.
I’ve said it before, and I say it again - trust the mirror, not the scale. I am pretty certain that you are solid muscule, Nancy.If I can mainatin healthy lifestyle for the next five years and be as upbeat and as strong as you, I will count myself super-lucky!!! Have you ever tried maintaining about half the hours of your excersise (~1 hour a day, your intensity) and eating at your BMR, w/o compensating for excersise calories? That’s what Michaels’ method boils down to in Making the Cut for the last 10 to 20 pounds. It sucks, and it’s hungry, but it worked for me (and I am managing to maintain).
hmmm maybe that is why it is so hard to get to 150! It is my last 20 pounds…but that is not the smallest I could be, so it really can’t be my last 15 pounds :/
Have fun with the kickboxing and other classes!
(((Nancy))) I love that you are so focused and positve. You inspire me.
how in the world do you eat 2500 calories worth of food, my a$$ would explode. I get stuffed around 1400. But if I workout as hard as you I probably would be starving for another 1100 in the belly! I got my bells and whistles out waiting on that 5 yr anniversary party!
Oh Nancy, these last pounds are so hard to get off, but if anyone can do it, you can!! I would be so scared to eat that many, but then I do not do the workouts you do. Sweet of Rod to say that, but you know where you are the healthiest!
Girl you are a workout machine!!
Pesky last pounds..all that exercise & up & down calories..its coming..that weight loss is coming! I’m rootin’ for ya!
