I'm 4'11.75. ;) Currently, I'm stuck at 120. My starting weight was 124, and I've gone as low as 118 for a spell, but 120 seems to be where my body is insisting on staying. I'm starting week 3 of Slim in 6, and I'm seeing a lot of good changes in my body... I'm pretty sure I'll be one of those people who are a size 2 but…

My scale also refuses to play nice, which is why I'm not holding my breath in being able to complete the 3 lbs challenge for this group. Most times, I will drop a pound or two after weeks of effort, only to gain it right back after one weekend of enjoying whatever I feel like eating/drinking. I'm currently stuck at 120,…

I randomly decided to check back in on this thread and WOW! Hi everyone! I've been feeling like total crap these last few days, for a variety of reasons, but mostly because the number on my scale was REFUSING to budge. I even posted about it this morning on the motivation/support board. But then two things happened...…

Thank you to everyone who responded... Well, I may have figured out what the problem was with the weight gain. Turns out I started my period today. Yeah. A whole 2 weeks early. Guess you never can tell what the heck is up with your body, despite how well you THINK you know what's going on!

Hopefully you've been seeing results in other areas, though!

TOTALLY easier said than done! I know that a large part of it is that we have it ingrained in us that the scale is the almighty arbiter of progress or failure, but it really isn't. I'd toss the scale all together if I thought I could get away with not monitoring my weight, but I can't. I gained put on all this weight when…

Cocktails. :)

I think it depends on the person. I'm 4'11 and at my lowest adult weight I was 90lbs and it looked TERRIBLE on me, but it's within the "healthy" range for my height (albeit on the extreme low end). I look and feel my best when I'm between 110-115 and find I can maintain that weight with relative ease, but that might not be…

Hey, that's my height and goal, too! I'm at 118 currently, and I want to maintain between 110-115. I get a lot of negative attention when I mention my numbers, so I tend to just simply say "I'm trying to get fit" without mentioning weight because that seems to open me up to a lot of squawking about how insane it is to want…

I wonder if they're just trying to reassure you that you look great at the weight you are currently, out of fear that you're beating yourself up over not being at your goal weight. I think a lot of people infer a sense of self-punishment in people who are trying to lose weight or maintain weight loss, when that may not…

Aw! Thanks! And yeah, I was totally fine with taking one for the team. ;)

Thanks! :D

GRRRR... I have resized the pic like five times and it doesn't appear to want to take once it's embedded into the post. Right-click on it to view image to see the full effect. :P

Today I noticed that my formerly skin tight-omg-can't-breathe-jeans were struggling to stay on my body, and not my body struggling to stay in the jeans. :)

I wanted to chime in, because I'm 14 years older than you and I have also had issues with gym workouts exhausting me to the point of passing out. It got so bad that 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer would necessitate a minimum 3 hour nap afterward. One thing I initially noticed was that my heart rate would shoot up to…

Wow, go you! I *love* 5guys... But lately I have been having pretty unpleasant physical reactions to all the greasy foods I used to eat regularly, so I'm afraid to so much as go near a cheeseburger now!

Regardless of whether or not I want more weight loss per week, my body seems to think 0.5 lbs is what it's going to stick with. :grumble: But hey! I'm just thrilled I'm losing anything at all!

YES! I was just coming on here to plug Enell sports bras! I have had the original version for about 5 years, and today I just bought the "light support" bra and can't wait to use it! It's absolutely ESSENTIAL for any woman with C cups or bigger. I get no movement whatsoever when I workout, which is FABULOUS. I always hated…

Oh wow. I have food poisoning right now and so far this is the only thing today that sounds remotely appealing to eat! lol

Yeah, I am not a big fan of Gatorade, either. Last time I had food poisoning, it caused all sorts of *interesting* complications and side effects. I don't have any Smart Water on hand (I really like the stuff, too), unfortunately. And the boyfriend is out of town this weekend so I can't send him to the store... SIGH.

I'd wait for the current soreness to go down a little bit and then start the strengthening exercises. Do as many as you can until you build up strength. I probably wouldn't do them every day at this point... Maybe every other day and fill in the intermittent days with some simple yoga positions, so you're going into…

Oh, good idea on the yogurt. I just bought some greek yogurt! Very excited that I don't have to make a run to the store right now... ;)

I am keeping food down now, but it's still going through me pretty quickly, ifyouknowwhatimean... Just found the beef broth in the cabinet and heated a bit up with some crackers. Hopefully that will not be ejected so quickly. :(

Tell me more about this thread. It is pertinent to my interests.

The boyfriend and I were in Vancouver last year and we had a horrible time finding good wines from BC! We were both really disappointed because we'd heard so many good things... Can you recommend some to try next time we find ourselves up in your neck of the woods? I'm not about to write off all BC wines because we had a…

Yep. Bogle is a good staple wine, for sure. Another one I discovered at Trader Joe's last year but has disappeared off the shelves almost everywhere was Rootstock's Cabernet Sauvignon. It was one of those rare reds that was so light, you had to watch out because you could drink the whole bottle before you realized it. TJs…

Well, true... But all of my REAL favorite wines are $30+ per bottle. I guess it's a good diet trick, though... I definitely drink less because I usually can't afford what I like! ;)

Oh, crap, now you've got me going... I just remembered this amazing red we had in England last year that I can't find here in the states... Reverdito Barbera d'Alba Butti. Think it was a 2007... So amazingly good!

Pretty much anything from Castello di Amorosa. I am a giant sucker for their wines! Also, I'm totally spoiled, living where I do in Northern California. I'm a few hours from Napa, Sonoma, Eldorado County, Amador, Anderson Valley, San Luis Obispo and even here in the middle of Silicon Valley, there's J. Lohr, which makes…

WOW!!! That's insane! Good to know, though... Thanks for the heads up!
