Hey, (Nanainkent) Fun Lady. One thing I do NOT complain about is my youthful experience. I've ALWAYS looked younger than I actually I am (which found really annoying as teenager).

Thanks for posting everyone! My picture is me at 8 pounds less just last January. Please feel free to add me. I'm looking any and 40 year-old women to share with.

I just started swimming in the morning: I make myself a coconut black tea and mix it with a light vanilla muslce milk (just 100 calories) and drink it on the way to Austin's lovely natural pool:) I have eggs and ham with wheat toast, or veggies sausages and wheat toast, or oatmeal with nuts when I get back.

5'2: 118 (was 123 1/1/12). This is 8 pounds higher than I was at 31 when I met my husband. I would love to be 110 again but I would be happy between 112 and 115. At 40 years old I just don't know how hard I want to work to be 110. That is less than I weighed in high school (114lb). Overall, at 118 22 years later is just…

I gained weight whenever I didn't eat all of the recommended calories, especially the exercise ones. It took a real leap of faith to eat more when I exercised more. I heard some people gain weight at first and then start to lose weight again as their metabolism resets. I have lost more weight faster since I've started…

Good news! Eating back my exercise calories has NOT caused me to gain weight. In fact, I HAVE lost weight. So, it DOES seem like eating back exercise calories works for ME just as it has form some others! If you are wondering whether resetting your metabolism really works, I recommend you take the risk. Be empirical: try…

I am carb conscious (about 100 grams a day). I love off of strawberries, blue berries, black berries, raspberries, PEACHES sometimes, and CUTIES (clementines). I stay away from fruit with a higher glycemic index: pineapples, grapes, watermelon. And I do eat oatmeal, whole wheat bread, and corn tortillas but I try to eat…

COOOOOOOOOOOOOL! I'm turning 40 2/2! I'M EXCITED TO TURN 40! OVERALL I FEEL GREAT! I STILL FEEL SO YOUNG AND DUE TO BOTH NATURE AND NURTURE STILL LOOK YOUNG. Can hardly believe I will be 50 in 10 years: seems surreal. I am 5'2" and say 119.6. I got up to 123 during the holidays but took 3.4 pounds off by eating healthy…

Thanks, jenluvsushi! Feel free to let me know how its going with you in this DB. I will post my updates here. I hope others answer. I did find some posts in other DB's, but very few, on those who had reset their metabolisms but the posts were scattered and I am trying to get one DB focused on just this topic.

What does "bump" mean? Are you interested in this question too?

EXACTLY what I needed to hear. You described my situation for the lat two years to a T. I'm going to eat my exercise calories back starting TODAY! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!

Lean Body On the Go (zero sugar, lactose free) makes an award winning protein shake with only 7 grams of fat (4 grams of carbs). You drink about 14 ounces for 180 calories. I've tried a lot of these drinks and this line is so yummy I have them as my dessert sometimes, like when friends get an icecream I just freeze one of…

I'm a professor and really don't care to have, potentially, my students discussing my diet. I share a lot of myself with them but I like to have a boundary some where. ACCOUNTABILITY HAS NOTHING TO DO WHETHER I MAKE MY DIET PUBLIC.
