5'3" here. Started last month at 158 lbs in very snug size 6 (us) Lost 7 lbs and now comfortably in a size 6. I got down to 120 lbs in 2014 and was in a size 2. I want to wear them again.

I hate salad dressing. I also do not generally eat croutons but I add flavor to my greens with shredded carrots, shredded cheese, bacon that I fried and shredded into bits, hard boiled eggs, chicken, avocado, mushrooms, black olives, tomatoes, etc

I have a severe coconut allergy, so I wish everyone would get off the coconut kick. Outback and Waffle House are now on my list of restaurants where I cannot eat.

Try new things. I am a country girl. My boyfriend bought hummus and little rice cakes a couple of weeks ago. I needed a low calorie snack and tried them. I am the new hummus addict. So yummy. Be open to try things. I love salads. I make my own Cobb salads. We even hit up and Italian carry out last week and I got crispy bbq…

I buy chocolates in individual packages. I pop miniatures. When going for ice cream, I order the kids size.

But I am 5'3" and I gain weight on 1700 calories a day. 1200-1300 and I just maintain the same weight. I lose at the 1000-1100 range. Go figure. As a teenager and through my 20's I could eat 2500 calories a day and stayed petite. That all changed in my 30's. Actually the moment I got on hormonal birth control. It is what…

I weigh myself every morning after using the bathroom. I usually see movement down during the week when I am keeping a 1000-1100 calorie diet. I maintain on the weekends and through the beginning of the week when I have a 1200-1400 calorie diet.

This is BS and you really do need to get off your high horse. I have always been very slim. I wear a size 6 and think I am fat. I have always ate healthy and decent portion sizes. Sadly, I have a 13 year old daughter that is well over 200 lbs. I put healthy meals in front of her. I constantly lead by example and order…

What was your starting weight?

What was your starting weight? I think you have done an awesome job. Do not feel discouraged.

I drink 16oz. coffee with real sugar every morning. I hate the aftertaste of fake sweeteners.

Oh I plan to drink the entire bottle.

A piece? I have a whole closet full of clothes. I threw away all my fat sizes a few years ago when I lost weight. I just hung onto a few pairs of size 6 pants, so that is what I am wearing. My top half stayed close to the same size with the weight gain, because my shirts mostly fit. I had to go buy a pair of dress pants a…

I am probably an alcoholic. I love to drink. I am currently trying to avoid it for the most part, but I do not want to give it up completely. Drinking is a part of me. I enjoy it and I failed at keeping it out of my life so I need to learn how to fit it into my diet. I am going to go to my favorite winery on Saturday and I…

He is a jerk. Do not be discouraged. Keep walking. You are doing this for you. :) Do not waste a second thinking or caring about some random persons opinion of you.

You are doing awesome! Just keep going

yup count me in. I even tell people the approximate calories of what they are consuming. :(

I do both. I now may only eat one slice of my favorite pizza with salad as a side, instead of two slices. I do typically choose healthier options but sometimes I just want a cheeseburger and I fit it into my limit.

What is your height?

I have 33 lbs to go. We can do this. One pound at a time. I break it into tiny chunks. Like now I am just trying to get into the 140's, than I will be excited to get to 145, than to the 130's...and so on. Mini Milestones along the way to goal weight.

Counting calories work. I have added Fiber bars as my treat and even ate mayo last night. The constipation is resolving itself. Add some fiber and fat into your daily diet.

I log everything. I raided my parents fridge yesterday and stopped and logged the deviled egg I popped in my mouth prior to eating it.

Oh I have child bearing hips and my bra size at 124 lbs is a 32D. It was still a C cup when I was in high school. But the rest of me was tiny. I had no fat on my body. Skin and bones.

This happened to me also. I hate the look of muscles. I just think it looks gross. I like the very thin model look.

I went on a two week cruise and lost weight. I had plenty of time to go to the gym, I still made healthy choices with eating for the most part, and I walked a heck of a lot more.

I would love to go to my high school weight, but last time I lost weight I got to 124 and people said I looked really small. 98 lbs (day I graduated, 18 years old) would have them loosing their minds.

I eat a packet of oatmeal most days for lunch. I avoid processed foods mostly because of preservatives and sodium. But if they fit within your calories and give you the nutrients you need, by all means eat what you want. My diary is open to friends, so feel free to friend me to see my typical diet on much less calories…

I am currently 153-154 and my mini goal is to get in the 140's. :)

Ditto.

Open trash can...Throw them in. :D
