Happy Thanksgiving. And remember: happy people aren't always thankful, but thankful people are always happy.3

Happy Thanksgiving American peeps!2

Confession - I'm going to binge tomorrow. It's my sister's birthday and we are having mexican and cake. This binge has been coming for a while as I'm now in week 12 of a 16 week cycle before a diet break. I'm burnt out. I'm already so disappointed in myself for tomorrow's binge. ugh.1

Why be disappointed when you have planned for a family celebration? It's one day and really only one meal. And you don't have to binge, just eat at maintenance instead of your loss calories. Please don't feel guilty for helping your sister celebrate. Life is too short for that.8 -

Dittoing Melissa here. Life is short, eat and enjoy your family! I'm going to dinner with cousins tomorrow, despite being on a cut. Just eat within reason and don't beat yourself up 1 -

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.
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.

Well, according to the second one, I need to lose about 10 lbs.

According to the second one I need to lose 25, but when I was 20 and weighed 138, I was bulimic and my body fat was 7-8%. I was anything but healthy.

This is why I have trouble taking the concept of an "ideal weight" seriously. I understand and largely agree with the applicability of BMI but who is picking these "ideal" numbers? I look chunky in the 140s because I swear I have the frame of a woman half my height. Most other women are smokin' at 140 but that doesn't make it ideal because there are women like us who look fine (even better) on other sides of the very small margin deemed "ideal". You're all babes I tell you!2 -

You're a babe too, Jessica! I have come to a spot in my life where someone else's ideal doesn't mean squat to me. My doctor told me that I look phenomenal and my lab numbers are almost perfect. That works for me.5 -

Update: Turned out way better than I thought. I went over my calories but didn't even hit maintenance numbers. Enjoyed a little bit of everything and was feeling incredibly full and satisfied by the end of it all. Even better - my sister had a lovely day.7 -
