  • 5'8", 163, size 10. Never been less than a 6 in my life! Hips, baby, hips.
  • I ride all the time, 5-7 days a week. Get yourself some padded bike shorts. And splurge on them. Expect to spend $70-$100 for a good pair, unless they are on sale. Also, use some cream on the down-below. You don't have to buy the $20 bike-specific cream. I use Fruit of the Earth Vitamin E skin care cream. It's under $5 for…
  • LOL! Mine shrank too, from a 36A to a 36AA. No fair! Well, at least they're really perky. =)
  • Wow. Amazing job! And hey, if you want to have a 2 week slump and eat terribly, enjoy it as a splurge and get back on track. Consider it a vacation from all the hard work you've put in for the last 6 years (WOW!!!!). No beating yourself up. You've done an amazing job!
  • I'm in for this one. Runner, road and mountain cyclist, windsurfer, etc... =)
  • I'm almost always under on protein. I go for 25/35/40 Carb/Protein/Fat. So I keep chocolate protein powder in the house. It's not the greatest snack, but paired with a square of chocolate, it usually does the trick.
  • Most recent schwag... Just picked up a set of Dura-Ace tubeless wheels for my road bike. Soooooooo nice. No more road vibration. Better cornering. I'm one happy girl. Anyone want to go for a ride?
  • Oh wow. Thank you all for being here. I'm 5'8", and I was once 150 and looked like an anorexic ghost. I'm about 163 now, and would like to lose another 5lbs so I can see my six pack! But there is no way my curvy hips and wide shoulders are ever going to be anywhere near 140, which is what I "should" weigh according to many…
  • Hey Razor, First off, know that we're all here for you, even if your friends and family don't get it. We get it. Second, I'm in the same boat. Some of us just can't eat as many calories as other people can. Those people who can eat ice cream/pizza/candy/soda/etc every day are freaks. When the bird flu comes, those skinny…
  • Wow. I went off to work for a few hours and you guys gave me so much advice. Thank you!! I should have taken the chance on asking for help earlier. I think I'm going to try eating more for a week or three and see if that makes a difference. I was hesitant to try that, because I'm terrified of gaining any weight back. I've…
  • What a great topic! Here's what I get: "You look great, so why are you tracking calories?" --I'm not really trying to lose more, but I have a really slow metabolism, and maintain my weight at 1500 calories a day. Yeah, lucky you. I know you can eat whatever you want. I can't, even if I work out all the time. "Want a bite…
  • I'm a mountain biker, and when I go for a 4 hour ride and burn around 2500 calories, I eat that ice cream I've been craving for months. Not the whole pint of ice cream, but a decent portion. And then I might go out for sushi. If you're working that hard and burning that many calories, you've earned a special treat, as long…
