I should have clarified - I'm 5'0 and would love to expand my friend network. I'm based just outside of New York City and all the women around here are 5'10" Barbie giraffes!

I'm here too! :-)

Thanks Lightning, I'm glad we have become friends through MFP. Big hugs right back!

Hi - I was going to ask the same question today and figured I'd check to see if it had been posted. I encounter buffet settings nearly every week since much of my job is traveling to a location as part of a larger group of people. Five of my meals from Tuesday lunch through Thursday dinner were buffets. Ugh. My strategy is…

Run around the house stark naked and scare the cats. Once that's accomplished, I'll put on the size 2 jeans I wore when I turned 30 (and yes I still have them!) and party like a rock star.

I have had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM and I'm just not worrying about it anymore. I stopped weighing myself and instead I just keep trying on the same pair of jeans. Every week they fit better and better. I couldn't button them 8 weeks ago and now I can fit 2 fingers in the waistband. The scale says I've lost 4 pounds. My…

I'm 5'0 and would like to lose about 45 pounds. Ugh. I can't even believe that I let myself get so overweight but two things came together: knee surgery that eliminated my ability to run anymore and a heavy travel schedule. BUT! That being said, I weigh myself about once a week now and try to keep to between 1000-1150/day.…

Thanks everyone for your replies and advice! Clearly we need to have a Friday night wine party! :happy: QUOTE: I'm also curious about this. I plan on reserving calories through out the week so I can have a bottle of wine on Fridays. Yes, you heard me, the whole bottle. Don't judge:) I am right there with ya!! I stay on the…

I'm always amazed at people's awkward response to other's successes. Your coworker just WISHES she had your discipline, motivation, and friends! :-) Great job!

I've been on for 55 days and my clothes are fitting amazingly well - too big in some cases yeah! But the scale? No love. NO LOVE. It's really discouraging so I've just stopped weighing myself because like you, I would get too discouraged to see no movement. Instead, I have one pair of jeans that I put on every Monday.…

I'm so sorry about your friend. It is devestating to lose someone close to you at such a young age. But keep in mind, regardless of your beliefs, your friend is with you - in your spirit, in your soul, in your heart and in your mind. She still wants you to be happy AND healthy because she loves you. You have a serious…

Welcome! I've been on for about 45 days and it's just the best thing I've done for myself in years. It's a warm, supportive, and completely judgement free zone. So be diligent and you'll start to see results!

Absolutely fantastic!!!!

Oh my gosh you look absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!! Congratulations and keep going keep going!!!:happy: What is boot camp? Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the tips! I'm definitely going to incorporate them next week and will keep you posted! Best, Sunday
