I'm 4'11 and would love to end up no lighter than 129. Went down to 119lb once and didnt feel healthy. Loved being 129 and according to my doc thats about right for me. Before i had my second child almost 17 yrs ago i weighed 105 and felt ok but i was also 26 yrs old at the time. So for me a healthy weight is around…

Thanks everyone for your input, its really helpful. I like to use tea bags and there are so many different flavor options. Cant wait to try them all :-)

Thanks so much. I did steep it a long time the first time i made it.

If you can, check out the menu online so you can plan. Grilled chicken, shrimp, beans, salsa, even guacamole should be ok. Any tortillas may take up too many calories that you may want use elsewhere like a margarita ; )

If he cant love you for you and has issues with your body he isnt worth keeping around!!! Move on and find someone who will appreciate you and love you for who you are. I personally think the things he has said to you are cruel and falls under verbal abuse. I wouldnt tolerate it and allow anyone to say those things to me…

I weigh in once a week, mid week at the same time every week. I never weigh in early in the morning though. I'm not a breakfast eater but do drink coffee in the morning so I weigh in close to noon before lunch a few hours after i have had my coffee.

Mine is a caramel corn rice cake with a little smear of peanut butter and a few banana slices, yummy!!

I agree with you 100%

Agreed!!!!!!!

I think creating balance is great and when advice is needed a variety of opinions is good. No one deserves to be jumped on because their opinion is different or people dont agree. We all have our own opinions and if everyone thought the same way it would be pretty boring but i feel like there are no discussions here for…

Great minds...:wink: :wink:

Lmao, i fed canned cat food tuna to my brother. That was many years ago and he hasnt gotten me back yet BUT i guess i should watch my back?

Wow ur brave bcuz i would not have eaten either one of those. I have eaten squid in its own ink over white rice. It's a food from Spain but the ink sauce is black and to some not very appetizing but its sooooo yummy. My grandmother also made brains but i dont know if it was from a goat, cow or pig. I tried it but spit it…

Agreed!!!!

I would eat the reuben. My version comes to 261 calories, 7 grams of fat using 2 oz. of corned beef - deli, 2 slices of weight watchers rye bread, 1 slice weight watchers swiss cheese, 1 tablespoon fat free thousand island and some sauerkraut. I spray the outside of the rye bread with I cant believe its not butter spray…

You are so right. I agree if you ask for help it's hard for people to help you if your diary is closed. Criticism of people with closed diaries is ridiculous, to each his own ya know. I'm fairly new and if i have a question i'll search for the answer first but like you said you get some people that dont know their way…

This is 100% true

There's a lot of criticism and negativity on these boards it may be harder for people in need to reach out and keep their diaries open.

Oh no thats not criticism at all BUT when the person is told how and why they should have their diary open and how it works for them and whats the matter with you, and how could you not have it open, then thats critism. I rarely see a simple non critical response like your diary is closed, but what is your caloric intake,…

I hear ya on that, BUT some people instead of asking the person personally (send a message or whatever) whats going on, will criticize that person for having their diaries closed.

My diary is private because well its my diary. I also dont need to be accountable to anyone else but myself. I'm going through this weight loss for me and in the long run IMO in order to keep the weight off I will always have to be accountable to myself. What works for some may not for others. Glad it works for you but its…

Agreed!!!

When you diet it seems some people around you throw bad foods your way or at least try. Unfortunately people dont want to hear about others successful weight loss, especially when they have weight to lose too and may be struggling. I'm not saying your friends behavior is right because its totally wrong. A real friend will…

I agree and im very similiar to you except i have 2 kids. I was 95-100lbs when my husband met me at 14. After we had our daughter i was still 100lbs then i had my son and gained some weight. After that i remianed around 135 for a little while and then gained even more. I was able to take it off but put some it back on.…

You didnt say why you were thinking about eating more calories and posting a question like this will most likely get you a whole bunch of different answers that may confuse you. Bottom line is listen to your body and see what works for you. If you are working out then yes up your calories. Also if you are hungry up your…

I dont think i could do a Zumba class without making a fool of myself so i bought Zumba for Wii and love it. Do i have all the moves down; uhm not yet but it gets me to move and its fun. I wear a light pair of sneakers (champion brand) that i wouldnt normally work out in because there isnt much support. These sneakers were…

Some people give themselves mini goals. If you have a lot of weight to lose it may seem out of reach at first. Reward yourself with non food items once you reach these mini goals. Also, reading the success stories on here really works too. Keep thinking about why you wanted to lose weight and that might help keep you…

Wow , cant believe how many short women there are Its good to know, i dont feel so bad abtou beign 4 '11 :smile:

By buying the bikini i wanted for vacation :happy:

When i was a kid i loved froot loops, golden crisp, honey comb, golden grahams and cookie crisp. Now i still like those cereals but if i want a sugary cereal i eat golden grahams as a snack.
