I've been around (give or take 5 lbs) my goal weight for 4 years. I'm 5'3" and weigh 110. I feel like just keeping a close eye on it and being mindful of eating clean works for me. I weigh myself almost everyday and when it gets to my "top" I might work out a little harder and when I'm at my "bottom" I might be more…

My son is on a Gluten-Free diet to try to help his Aspergers. I'll be following this post to see if I can find recipes or ideas for him too! We get the flour mixes from the bulk store and make banana-nut muffins and corn bread. They are DELICIOUS. They also have baking mixes for pancakes and chicken nuggets! I can't feed…

I'm a yoga instructor and I get EXCITED when someone new to yoga comes in! We have the ability to modify and to teach to your level. I agree that going to a class with your form. Yoga is all about linking your breath with your movement and no one is watching you... ITS NOT A COMPETITION =) As for DVDs I love Rodney Yee, Am…

I'm a vegetarian! Feel free to add me! My diary is open, too. But I eat almost the same thing every day. I love cottage cheese, beans and protein bars. I get plenty of protein. But I HATE meat so it was easy for me. All flesh-white, red, dark. It's disgusting to me. I do eat salmon though and some seafood. and I LOVE…

I work out in the mornings!! I get up at 4:45 work out from 4:55 to 5:30. Sometimes I will have a banana before I work out, but most of the time I don't have anything until 6:15 breakfast. But I do have to watch my carb/protein intake after working out in the am. or my blood sugar will bottom out by 8:30! I do my…

I'm 5'3 and my ultimate goal weight is 105. I'm at 110 right now and I've been building quite a bit of muscle so I'm trying to be content where I'm at and not restrict too much. But I'd really like to be at 105... ~Sara

I also like the feeling of being hungry :/ But I'm hypoglycemic and have to eat every 2 1/2 hours. Plus I'm a vegetarian. I have problems meeting the 1200 mark. OH WELL! =)

You can add me! I love MFP! Yoga instructor and k-12 music teacher! I'd love to help keep you motivated!~Sara

Feel free to add me! I love MFP. I'm here for motivation and it inspires me to encourage others~! I'm a yoga instructor and a k-12 music teacher. Glad to meet ya and good luck!~Sara

Love this! I get aggravated too when people think they can lose weight simply by being on a restricted diet. WORK OUT PEOPLE! It feels GOOD!

You can add me, too! I'm looking for more friends for motivation and inspiration! I LOVE MFP and consider myself just a little bit addicted! =)

I don't drink either. I have never found anything that doesn't make me gag! I always tell people I'm the driver! That seems to work like a charm and get you a free soda! :tongue:

I've always found mints or gum to be a great appetite suppressant. Sometimes I think I'm hungry when really my mouth is just bored. Or if I just ate a snack it will help me from eating 2nds.

Bob Marley! Dara McClean- suitcases Kari Job "we are the light" Colbie Callait- "Think good thoughts" I have too many! I'm a music teacher!

I tell people it's just as hard to maintain as it is to lose! I'm MAINTAINING and being healthy (or trying to) It's a good answer even if it's not the truth!

Same problem here, too. I used to love Maurices but now their sizes are WAY too big. A size 0 is NO WAY a 0. I like The buckle because they go by measurements instead 24s. and they hem if needed. I buy almost all my clothes at Maurices or the Buckle. Good post! Very helpful! :smile:

I'm a freak about the numbers. I weigh myself almost 4-5 a day. What? Is that bad? lol

I eat about the same thing every day except Sunday. Very carefully measured out and counted.

Sara Beth, 33 I am obsessed with Pink Floyd and have a Pink Floyd Tattoo (the flowers from The Wall) I love yoga and can do some CRAZY yoga poses I can play every instrument in a marching band (because I'm a band director! lol) I truly think my husband is the most gorgeous man I've ever known (8 yrs this may!) despise…

HELLO!!! Hope you're having a good day, so far!

I'm a total MFP addict and am ALWAYS on. I actually don't have any friends yet, so I NEED SOME FRIENDS, TOO!!! :smile:

I'm a snacker, too!!! I get low blood-sugar if I don't have SOMETHING around 9:30 and 3:00. I try to keep it 100-200 calories. but sometimes I could just "snack" all day! I try to have mostly protein..like a cheese stick or yogurt and fruit. I'm real bad about chocolate. I think you'll do better now that you are aware of…

I can feel this way about lots of things in my life, not just food. It seems for a week or so I'll feel like I have everything in order, everything going right and then I'll be tired one day or stressed or sad and start binging on what I think is comfort foods (mountain dew, chocolate, salt) and even start smoking again. I…

I'm feeling the same frustration. I've done SO WELL all week and the scale hasn't budged. It's so discouraging it makes me want to just eat whatever. But sabatoging our work will only make us feel worse. Keep up the great work. you will see results! Keep changing things up! Remember every day is a new day.

I have to add that being told you're "so skinny it makes me sick" is the worst thing anyone has ever said to me. It makes me so mad because I work hard at managing my weight and it doesn't come easy. Just because someone is skinny or thin does not mean it's a compliment to insult them on their weight. Some of us worry…

I am a yoga and pilates instructor and do pilates almost everyday. I still have the wrinkly, saggy skin below my belly button. I hate it. But my upper abs are ripped. =) I would suggest making a conscience effort to hold those muscles in as much as possible. Like you're getting punched in the gut. Anytime you can train…
