    228? Where?!! You look amazing.

    I am at 224 atm just goes to show, no two bodies are exactly alike. hope I look half as good as you do now once Im at goal!! :wink:

    LOL yes that is something I've really had to get over and and still trying to is what the number on the scale says. In most anyone's eyes that number is CHUNK but we are all different and beautiful in our own ways and no 2 bodies are alike. I've come to accept the fact that I will always have a bubble @ss, hips, boobs and broad shoulders- it's just the way I was built and I'll never fit into a size 2 or 4. I may still be obese according to BMI charts, but I have great stamina and my BP is 110/64 which is pretty darn good! We all need to focus on the other achievements we've made, not just by the number of pounds we've lost.

    You look fantastic! Do you really feel you need tp l;oose 30 more pounds? You look great at where you are!Well done I hope I can be half as successfull!:smile:

    Heh thank you- well, the bottom line is that I think 228 is still a little too high to be healthy. I'd like to maybe get to 199 just for *hits and giggles because I don't think I've been in the 100's since I was in like 7th grade! We'll see how it goes....

    Can you tell me your calorie averages or daily target? You and I look to be about the same body type. I have been stuck at the same weight for 4 weeks now and I know it is my eating. I just feel like I can't get my calories right.

    You look great and way smaller than 220's

    Thank you everyone for your kind and funny words, you're cracking me up! What has really helped me is working out with my Polar FT-7 to get an accurate calorie burn. As we all know, MFP tends to over estimate calorie burns so it's nice to have something set to work from. I bought mine at heartratemonitorsusa (.com) for $73 with free shipping. You can use coupon code cm8 and get 8% off- it's the cheapest place online that I could find a Polar FT-7. I got the mens version because I wanted black and the womens only comes in pink and bronze. It's still the same monitor and you still select your gender during setup.

    What's a Calorie zig-zag method? You look fantastic - Well done.

    It may not work for everyone, but it works for me.

    The Zig Zag Diet, also known as calorie shifting, involves staggering a low-calorie diet with high-calorie days. The belief is that if you can keep your body guessing, you can avoid homeostasis. By confusing your body, the hope is that your metabolism will shift into high gear burning calories more effectively.

    You can do your calculator here:

    Here's an idea of what calorie zig zagging looks like:
    Maintenance Fat Loss Extreme Fat Loss
    Monday 1824
    Tuesday 1824
    Wednesday 2189
    Thursday 1824
    Friday 1824
    Saturday 2007
    Sunday 1824

    This ends up working for me because I tend to eat more on the weekends and less during the week.

    I just opened my diary to public so you can go in there and see! ***Some days are not so good, like Saturday when I had like 3 Ultra beers and 2 brownies, LOL. Oh well, we still have to live and give ourselves a treat once in a while!
