I'm 5'7" and when I was 145 I was still able to squeeeeeeze into many of my size 5 pants, but was more comfortable in 7.

Me too! =)

Since you said you already generally eat well, exercise is definitely going to be key to your weight loss. There's nothing wrong (in my opionion) with occassion alcohol & bad food (especially when they're readily available), but making up for them with exercise makes all the difference! I know, I know, this is…

Have you tried a gym like Curves where it's a female-friendly atmosphere? I've noticed at Curves that there's generally women there from all age groups (I've personally always found working out around men to be the most intimidating part). Or, at your regular gym, what about going during "off" hours when you're able - at…

These sound SUPER yummy! I'm going to get me some turkey sausage & make them asap! =D

You're beautiful! I gladly voted & gave you a 5! =D Wow, you're #38 out of 700+, way to go!!!

Don't ask - just post! There's always bound to be at least a few people who are interested! =D

I'm currently at 24%, but I'd love to drop it down to 20% at some point. I'd also like to get a more accurate testing, preferably a DEXA scan. I've been on Depo provera for many years, so they're going to give me one soon to check my bone density (since this can cause bone loss), so hopefully they'll clue me into my body…

Ahaha, that certainly made me giggle. =D

Sorry to hear about your medical problems, but I'm very glad that the pharmacy student directed you here; I know I plan on sticking around this website for a long time, too! Good luck to you!

Happy to share!

Thanks a bunch for sharing this!

I know! I'm going to pick up some whole wheat all-purpose flour & give it a try this weekend! :bigsmile:

I would have never thought to use those Styrofoam boxes! There's a huge Clark's (nutrition and natural foods market) in my city that I bet has a bunch of those - I should just go dumpster diving behind the store, heheh.

Technically, yes - I live very close to a Fresh & Easy. Unfortunately, it's not open. The building has been in place for 2+ years but has still yet to open. Weird, I know. :grumble: http://lomalinda.patch.com/articles/fresh-easy-opening-date-still-unknown

I actually have a huge balcony, but I don't have the money to invest in planting my own garden just yet. I plan/hope to start a small one sometime in October.

Great suggestions! Thanks everyone! I live in Loma Linda, CA - a city founded by the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, who are HUGE on healthy (vegetarian, actually), clean living, so I probably have access to more health food then the average person.

Thanks for the support guys! I feel much less guilty now, heheh.

Glad to know I'm not alone! :happy:
