I am up 8 lbs or so and I agree it does make a big difference. But at 5'9 128 seems too thin? May be why your husband prefers you with 6 additional pounds.
Looking up healthy weight
I'm 5'9" each body is different but my body would not look good at that weight. I imagine your husband will find you attractive at any weight but does not want you to hurt yourself trying to get to the lowest weight in your weight category.
I'm 5'9", too. I can't imagine 128 pounds. The lowest I ever have been was 144, and that was very, very thin. I'm currently shooting for 165.
Not a knock on you, Jessica, at all! It's interesting how different bodies can be.3 -

Wow! That's crazy (and a little awesome). I'd like to have snow like that, like on a Saturday, so we could play in it. Then it could melt off by Monday. LOL 0 -
Confession/Rant:
Yesterday, I was in training all day, Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement. Good class, except for one small part. The instructor, a PhD in psychology, told the entire class (about 300 cops) that the reason they're fat isn't because they eat too many calories. It's because they are at a heightened state of alertness while on duty, and that causes cortisol to store fat, even if you aren't eating too much. ARGH!!! That's scientifically impossible!!! I was going nuts. I was texting my co-worker, Tony, who is a body builder and in class with me, just to keep from saying something out loud to the instructor.2 -

Come to KS. It's already 55 with a high of 70 today.

Can you look this up for 5'7"? I'v always been curious where I should be. I think 140-145 suits me nicely though.0 -

I ate a whole giant reeses today 880 calories and I budgeted for it but don't even want to look at my sugar intake today. It was awesome.7

Well I do believe stress causes gain. And eating poorly compounds it. But I am not going to argue it. I'm no scientist.

Same here without the storm. It was 70 on Saturday then high 30's and frigid wind on Sunday. It was so bad this happened a tree crashed and took out 2 sections of fence in a paddock. We were worried the others that were dead near the barn were going to come down on the barn.0 -

Wow! That's crazy! In Pennsylvania we've had it fairly easy the past few weeks where we would have frost on the cars & then it would get around 40-70s. The past few days have gotten extremely cold fast & the wind has been unbearable.
Where was the place in NY a few years ago that had around 100 inches of snow?
Was that Boston?0 -

5'9" here too, I'm currently 150ish (depends on the day). Lowest I have hit was 145, I would like to see 135 but I really don't know if it's sustainable. The human body is interesting!1 -

Particularly when dessert is involved because I so rarely have it anymore.
A coworker made cookies and cupcakes yesterday and I grabbed a cookie and started to chew, but spit it out because I wasn't about to waste my precious calories on a craptastic cookie.
Haha I totally did that with a Peanut Butter Lara Bar not that long ago. Get outta my mouth with that nonsense!
Most of the Lara bars are nasty & not worth the calories.
The only flavor I have enjoyed has been the Gingerbread flavor.
Agreed, I've yet to meet one that I like and now they are off limits again anyway so I am not putting myself through that disappointment again. Similarly I don't at all understand the hype re: Oh Yeah bars. They taste very weird and are a bizarre consistency to me. Give me original recipe Quest or give me nothing! Haha
In kind of keeping with protein bar reviews I confess I ate 5 Buff Bakers protein cookies in two days while we were in the city. I was so sure they'd be terrible, dammit! It was within budget but five??? Jfc me . No one ever let me try the birthday cake almond butter lol
The only Lara Bar I've tried so far is the apple pie one, and meh. I don't think they're worth the calories for the small amount of protein they offer.
The Oh Yeah! One bar that I LOVE is the lemon cake! It's reminds me of lemon bars which I love. I have tried a few other varieties and I was less than impressed.
I'll say it again for the kids in the back. The best protein bar I've EVER tasted is The Best Bar Ever. I love the chocolate peanut butter, chocolate coconut (taste like an Almond Joy), and the Original which is sort of trail mixish with dried fruits and nuts.
I've been actually meaning to text you and ask you the name of those. I'm tired of Combat bars. Just bought some B-Up bars and they're not good, except the chocolate mint, they're ok. I just ordered some FitJoy pumpkin pie bars this morning. I need a protein bar shake-up!
Where do you get them? Amazon doesn't seem to have them.
They sell them at Complete Nutrition. Do you have those? You can also buy them off their website.
www.bestbarever.com
I'm thinking seriously about joining their mailing club!
I just Googled it and you have one near you!!!
I just went to GNC and bought one of every flavor of Fitjoy bars, just to try them.
Did you get any of the new flavors Gingerbread, Peppermint, & I think Birthday Cake?
I hated the Quest Cereal bar (at least it was free).
I got Pumpkin Pie (which I tried first because it had the best reviews. I wasn't amazed. It was OK), Winter Peppermint Bark (plan to try today), Chocolate Iced Brownie, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Mint Chocolate Crisp, Iced Gingerbread Cookie, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I did not get their Cinnamon Roll flavor, because I usually don't like those. That was all the flavors they had there.
A-freaking-mazing!!! So good! Good texture, good flavor, no aftertaste. Are these seasonal? I'm going to cry if they are.

Guessing by the name, I'd say yes.

I was going to say that it is early for snow then I thought not so much it's just here there is never snow and ice storms happen in January and February. I was mentioning how much I would like to live in the mountains to someone and he went on and on that it was not fun ind the snow gets old to have and by march you just want it to go away because it is disgustingly brown and dirty, I have lived where there is snow on the ground for a few days once a year at most. I wonder if I am just romanticizing it.
Sounds like you had your workout for the day!0 -
Why is it that we can't see that weight gain come from eating too much. stress can make you hold on to weight for a short time, it can also make you eat more, which is the problem.quiksylver296 wrote: »Confession/Rant:

Looking up healthy weight
I'm 5'9" each body is different but my body would not look good at that weight. I imagine your husband will find you attractive at any weight but does not want you to hurt yourself trying to get to the lowest weight in your weight category.
I'm 5'9", too. I can't imagine 128 pounds. The lowest I ever have been was 144, and that was very, very thin. I'm currently shooting for 165.
Not a knock on you, Jessica, at all! It's interesting how different bodies can be.
Can you look this up for 5'7"? I'v always been curious where I should be. I think 140-145 suits me nicely though.

Looking up healthy weight
I'm 5'9" each body is different but my body would not look good at that weight. I imagine your husband will find you attractive at any weight but does not want you to hurt yourself trying to get to the lowest weight in your weight category.
I'm 5'9", too. I can't imagine 128 pounds. The lowest I ever have been was 144, and that was very, very thin. I'm currently shooting for 165.
Not a knock on you, Jessica, at all! It's interesting how different bodies can be.
Can you look this up for 5'7"? I'v always been curious where I should be. I think 140-145 suits me nicely though.
I didn't look it up, but I am 5'7" and 160ish (I confess I haven't weighed this week). I like to be between 157-162. Anything under 155 and I look ill.0 -

ETA: Oh, and it was 70 degrees on Saturday. Figure that one out. LOL
Same here without the storm. It was 70 on Saturday then high 30's and frigid wind on Sunday. It was so bad this happened a tree crashed and took out 2 sections of fence in a paddock. We were worried the others that were dead near the barn were going to come down on the barn.
Did they get someone to cut them down?
They were still there last night...0
