I am 5'3 and range between 150 and 160 mostly. I had gotten down to 145 and stayed there for about a year and a half. In order to lose weight, I mostly would eat about 1300-1400 calories per day with an occasional day at 1600. I did so good staying that weight without really trying for all that time and I have no idea what…

You are adorable!! Way to go !!!

In the spirit of being sympathetic to their plights, I do believe alot of people are learning the process and are just asking questions and reaching out for support. Believe it or not, this process does not come easy to a lot of people. For some it does. Have some patience and understanding. Don't read those if they bother…

While I tend to think genetics plays into it alot, I do believe that some kids just eat more than others and us as parents need to be aware of it and offer healthy food. I have two daughters. My older one (10yo) a bit chunky (thick through her waist like me and her dad) and my younger one (6yo) as skinny as a rail. My…

I was thinking the same thing.

Wow, I looked at your food diary and I eat close to the same type of food you do each day and I am struggling also. I am also 5ft 3in and currently 154. Recently I had gotten down to 145 and maintained that for about 2 years until the holidays. When I get down that low (for me) I am eating about 1400-1500 cal/day and I…

^^I agree! Although my husband has been working 3 jobs (1 FT and 2 PT b/c he has the opportunity at this time) so we can feel like we are at least getting slightly ahead, but it is really hard to schedule meals around him and it has been a source of stress for me.

From my experience, you have to get it up there on the priority list. In the 10 years since I've had kids, I've had to adjust the time I work out to work around my kids' schedules. When they were littler, I'd get in a quick workout before I'd go home or pick them up from the sitter each day. As they have gotten older, it…

bump for later

I believe the best time of day to workout is the time that works best for you. If you force yourself to workout first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and it could make you feel miserable then what incentive will you have to workout? I think it would cause you do dread working out. I am not able to workout in the…

Hands Down: Freaks and Geeks

Yes, ^^this is me also. I easily went from 162 to 145, but to try to drop lower than that is very difficult for me. I very much could stand to lose 10 more pounds as I am only 5ft 2in and 38 years old. I know I would feel great at 135, but I do believe I sabatoge myself for some reason. I also have not been able to find…

Hmmm. I will need to see this. Not sure what I think.... They may want to provide extra security for Paul if Courtney shows up!

I fart in your general direction. haha!! Love that movie :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Great job!! Amazing! Where did your stretch marks go? They are my biggest problem.

Gonna try this!

I haven't gone since they've started opening up in the middle of the night and now on Thanksgiving night, but I did go at 5-6 am one year and remember the parking was a nightmare. I don't really know who driving/parking will be in the middle of the night.

Thanks!

^^haha, I do that too!!! Also, if I stub my left toe walking, then I have to do the same for my right. And, if I notice that I step on a crack with one foot, I'll have to do the same for the other. If I have like M&Ms or pretzels for a snack I'll count out an even number and will split them even on which side I chew them…

Okay, this is amazing!!!

I was a normal size kid until I was around 9 or 10 and in 4th grade when puberty hit and it was all downhill from there and fast :( I remember weighing in at the doctor's in fifth grade and was 125 and then 139 in seventh grade. I already had stretch marks too. I've been watching what I eat ever since. I was fairly…

I can't help it: supermodels just choose cigarettes and cocaine :smokin:

^^^ I love this!

Wow! I could have written that same post myself! After both of my pregnancies I had no trouble at all getting back to my prepregnancy weight, but my prepregnancy weight was always 10 or so pounds more than I'd like to be. So, right now I am 146 and would like to be 135. I always ask myself why was it so easy to get from…
