It's interesting to see such a variation in weights for people within the same height/age range. I have a larger frame at 5'5" and I doubt that I will ever be able to get below 145 w/o being miserable. I'm still losing pretty steadily now and am at 156. I'm interested to see what I look like (and how I feel) after I've…

One of my co-workers asked me if it was okay to tell me that I looked skinny...she had heard that it was offensive to some people! I told her that I appreciated that she noticed I had lost weight, and it was okay. I also said that since I wasn't actually skinny ( 5'5" and 156#) I considered myself to be "less large" lol.…

I also had success on earlier versions of WW, but then it stopped working for me...probably because of the free fruit. I didn't want to keep spending the $$ for a program that no longer worked. I have found MFP to be even better for me. I have to count all the calories (even fruit) and I now have a better understanding…

I am addicted to certain foods - especially if they contain sugar. For example, I would eat an entire chocolate cake or a carton of ice cream - even when I'm am uncomfortably full. Something drives me to keep eating. I considered sugar to be a "trigger food" that I need to avoid. I also have to watch starchy foods - I…

I'm also doing 1200 calories a day. I measure everything that doesn't come in a package (to make sure I accurately account for the calories.) I also love that stores are carrying pre-made salads. Many of them are under 300 calories and make great lunches! There is a wide variety so I don't get bored. I also make sure I…

I've recently discovered their salads and LOVE them! Many are in the 300 calorie range which is perfect for lunch. The only thing I don't like is that they run out of them too early in the day. This is a weird, negative thread, IMO - I'd rather have a pro/con discussion instead of a "I hate xxx" discussion, but that's just…

I find it easier to "earn" the extra calories by doing more exercise. I'm a hiker, so when I'm out for a 10+ mile hike I get more extra calories than I can actually eat! If you have a special event coming up, try to increase your exercise for a few days ahead. Maybe that will balance out the weekly totals and not mess up…

I'm eating turkey, steamed broccoli, baked yam, cranberry orange relish, and pumpkin custard made with ff egg mix, skim milk and splenda. I also plan to walk a few miles!
