Update, in case anyone is checking back in...I made Chicken Sausage with whole wheat Farfalle, onions, red peppers, parsley & a little cheese. He ate it all, and said he would eat it if I made it again. FIRST TIME he finished anything I cooked (ever), commented it was good (not great) - I thought it was great, and I'm…

5'8", 145. Very athletic and slim. Shooting for 155-159, 21+ years later.

That is a good point. I will have to consider making more of his favorite foods. I have been trying new recipes to mix things up. When I started eating more healthy while still eating his cooking, I would usually just eat the meat portion and take a much smaller amount. If he cooked up pasta, I would make my own whole…

I will be 40 in May and have been with my husband for 12+ years. We never wanted kids and made it official a few months ago with his vasectomy. Whoot, Whoot! My parents have 9 grandkids but they were still holding out hope for us. Yes, I did disappoint them once again.

Yep, Drugs and Hookers. Realistically, of course 1. quit my job. Buy a few houses, but nothing crazy because I would be traveling so much. Hire a cook to make me healthy but tasty meals, hire a trainer to whip (and keep me in shape). Travel, travel, travel. Give $100K a year to each of my sisters and my parents (that's…

5'8", 163 give or take a few. I have several pair of size 10 & 12 Jeans from New York & Co. that all fit but I can fit into size 8 dresses now, so may try on some 8s soon.

Lemon flavored liquid Stevia. I also use the English Toffee one for my tea.

EIGHT! And I just bought my first size 8 dress 2 weeks ago (see profile pic). Most of my clothes in my closet are 10s & 12s and the latter are way too big. I was as high as an 18 a few years back. I'm 5'8" so I will look too thin if I go down to a 6 or lower.

Thank you Berry Much. I love eating fresh berries.

oh, I'll play - I just took my measurements over the weekend. Waist - 36 Hips - 41.5 Height 5'8", 163 lbs. I've never had a skinny waist.

Married for 9+, together for 12 total this month. Best decision I ever made. I love my life and myself, but enjoy him being a big a part of that. There were some struggles around years 6-7 when he was unemployed and getting depressed, and not every day is puppies and rainbows but do fully believe we will be together for…

I drink 3-4 cups of tea per day. I have these huge mugs where I get @16 oz. of tea made in them. I drink one Caffeinated Lipton Black Tea with @10 drops of English Toffee flavored Stevia. Then I drink 2-3 cups of green tea, sometimes a chamomile tea, with 1/2 tsp. of powdered stevia throughout the day usually with a meal.…

I went off in January after 10 years on the pill. (DH got a vasectomy). My flow is much heavier, but I have lost consistently since then. But I've also refocused my commitment to lose these last 10 lbs. so that may be it too. No pimples, but I've had about 10 in my whole life so was never a problem for me. If pimples are a…

bump.

I was striving for 164, but I know that is not going to be enough so I'm pushing for 159 now. My plan when I get there, is to work very hard to stay under 160. I think anything in the 150s would be GREAT for me. I am currently 167.8 at 39 years old after weighing 180-210 for 10 years of my life. Yuck! I weighed 145 when I…

Bump. I'd like to know too. I swim laps during the summer at an outdoor pool and my workout seems SOOO long with out music.

I hate my stomach, but I love my collar bones.

I have it and love it. It really kicks my butt and I go to bootcamp too, so that should tell you something. She really works on the areas us ladies need most. I also have 30 day shred, which I had first and I like No More Trouble zones so much better

Keep at it. You'll get better. And then start trying double unders. Go to YouTube for a visual if you don't know.

I agree with the previous poster. Customize your calories and set your day up the way your BIL suggested. Probably BK, Snack, Lunch, Snack, Dinner, After Dinner.

GW: 159 CW: 175 SW: 210 Height: 5'8" Age: 39 Sex: Female

Graduated in 1990 and I was at 145. Currently @170-175, and want to get to 155-159. I was over 210 at my highest.

I recieved the Garmin 405CX last Christmas after much research and LOVE it. But I'm sure you could get along with a much simpler model. Now I know the distances of each of my regular routes, I still wear it, but don't really need it. Always great for race days though!

Hi Dede. I'm 5'8" and weighed 210 at my heaviest. I fluxuate between 172-177 now but i'd really like to be 155-159. I did get down to 166 while training for a race, but that weight was short lived. Feel free to friend me.

I do use a HRM, but use the "Circuit Training" category in the Exercise section. It gets pretty close to my burn, and then I end up changing the calories to what my HRM said.
