I constantly struggle with about 10 pounds. I am 5'7 and at about 146 right now. Would love to get back to 140 or so. I think when you are not overweight, it is tough to lose. Right now, my BMI is 22.9. You are not considered overweight until it is over 25. (If you put stock into the BMI calculations!)

Cheese Fries!

Absolutely! In my book, you can count anything that gets your heart rate up! That is why I love having my HRM. I monitor my heart rate while exercising and try to keep it between 140-150.

I have noticed that the older I get, the less I enjoy sweets. I could honestly go the rest of my life without chocolate and be just fine. (People think I am crazy for saying so!) I still love the salty snacks though! :smile:

Cantaloupe......it tastes like medicine to me!

I eat a fiber one bar almost every morning. They keep me full until lunch!

This definitely depends on how you are shaped. I am 5'7 and weigh 142. I wear size 10 jeans! (Most of my dress pants are size 8.) I hear girls at work that are my height and weight talk about wearing size 4 or 6! How is that possible?

I always wonder about this myself. I drink at least one diet coke a day. (Most days I have two!) What is so bad about it? is it the aspartame?

I think cheat days help you stay on track long term. You can't restrict yourself indefinitely. The key is not to have too many cheat days! Just get back on track tomorrow and don't beat yourself up. You can do it!

Use less! You won't even miss it!

I have a Polar FT7 and I love it! It cost around $80.

I dont have one either!

150

FT7- It is great!

I am on the fence. I too love Ghost Hunters, but I wonder how much is just production. Too many people claim to have seen things for there to be nothing to it though, right?

I dont have one yet, but just ordered one online this morning. I ordered the Polar FT7. It looks very similar to the FT4. They are on sale right now, with free shipping at www.bodytronics.com. Good luck!

My mother started menopause at 37 and was completely through it at 39. It is certainly not out of the realm of possibility!

Welcome.....you can do this. This site is fantastic. I LOVE IT! Feel free to add me as a friend!

I love wine too! I go over my calories every weekend because of it!!! I switch to Captain Morgan and diet coke some weekends....only 60 calories a drink!

I do the same thing! I cheat with wine or beer though....and then food the next day! I am still losing, but it is coming off slowly. I was at the same weight for several weeks. Luckily, I am down 2 lbs with my weigh in this morning. The 2 lb loss is actually motivation for me to stick to the healthy eating plan this…
