Some great ideas here.

I was just saying this to my sister the other day. I really don't know how some people "forget to eat"! If a few hours go past and i haven't eaten anything, i either get hangry or start to become shaky. I've always had a big appetite and eaten regularly - i've been like that since i was a Kid (and i was a slim Kid ;) ).

WTF? Size 4 overweight! What kind of Doctor is that?! 5ft5 and 137 lbs sounds ideal to me. :)

Out of interest,.... what 5 min workout are you doing?

Including Alcohol,.....probably around 3000+ cals (Restaurant Meal).

These days, 69 isn't that old! Very sad to hear this. Especially loved his 80s stuff he did with Nile Rodgers. His Ex wife Angie is in the Celebrity Big Brother house here in the UK. So i'm guessing she'll have to be told!

My BMI is around 21-22....but tbh i'm more concerned with how much body fat i have. I'd rather be 128lbs with 20% Body fat, than 128lbs with 27% Body Fat.

Yep, this. Or McDonalds! Simple. Lol I'm sure you're still getting some Protein there - but when i've got a hangover i really couldn't care less about how much Protein i'm eating! ;)

I've not logged for 2 months, and i've stayed the same weight! I do still weigh certain foods though (like Rice, Pasta, Cheese and Cereal) and i'm still eating the foods i normally eat (not a particularly clean eater either). But i know that if for instance i've had a big meal at a Restaurant w/alcohol - i know for the…

Yes, totally agree. I'm 128lbs now (and maintaining nicely), but i have been 119 and didn't look too good. :/ My bust was non-existant and i my top half just looked scrawny! Maybe you need to do a Recomp rather than lose more weight.

Wow! Now that's impressive! I hope to follow in your footsteps. :)

Yep. I weigh myself once every 2 weeks.

It's a pretty long thread, but here's the link for lots of information on Recomp. Should be helpful to you. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10177803/recomposition-maintaining-weight-while-losing-fat/p1

That girl's waist looks suspiciously small! Not a look i'd personally go for tbh, but as someone else said - that's up to your friend if she wants to look like that.

Just enjoy yourself and do a bit more exercise when you come back!

Running, Strength Training and a few different Cardio Dvds (Shaun T Hip Hop Abs/Amy Bento - Kickbox Extreme).

I was talking about Marilyn Monroe. Her waist and hips were much smaller than my waist & hips and i am a current UK 8-10. Audrey Hepburn on the other hand was probably a size 0!

Exactly. I used to sell Vintage Clothes and a 1950s/60s size 12 dress was absolutely tiny! Back then, Ladies had extremely small waists.

Tbh, beauty is in the eye of the beholder anyway. Audrey wasn't my idea of a beautiful woman - Marilyn Monroe yes. But it always makes me laugh when people say she was quite a big girl. :/ I think she was a 36-22-35, which in todays' sizing (due to her bust) would be something like a UK 8-10 (US 4-6).

To me, when i see very skinny women like Victoria Beckham i just presume "they just don't eat much". I couldn't imagine her eating a Burger and Chips. Lol A while back, i used to think most Skinny people were just lucky and could eat what they want. But then after watching a TV programme called "Supersize vs Superskinny",…

Maybe just eat "some" of it, log it....and give the rest away.

I echo what everyone has said already. Why not do both (....that's what i do! ;) ). I run 3 times a week (for health & extra calories) and i do strength training 3 times a week (for muscle building & strength).

I normally Run Mon, Weds & Fri or Sun, Tues & Thurs. Running every other day works well for me and gives me the chance to recover (as others have said). The days i don't Run, i do weight training.

Yes, i meant fresh juices (i.e Tropicana Orange Juice etc). I'm not a lover of cordial type drinks tbh, cos of the additives etc. And i find the low cal versions taste awful! I'm with you though, plain water isn't that appealing to me either. :/ I guess you could also try making your own lime or lemon juice & add a little…

I normally dilute my Juice with 1/2 water. Orange Juice, Apple Juice, Pineapple Juice ....whatever juice you like. A small glass (150ml) of Juice comes in at around 70 cals. Just add water to make it go further. I also try to drink 100% pure Juice, not the concentrated stuff.

Well, i've been maintaining now for about 4 months and getting along fine (No Salads for me! ;) ). I have been logging and weighing all my food though, BUT within the last 3 weeks i've not logged any foods. I still weigh certain things, but i wanted to see how i'd get on without logging. So far (touch wood) i've stayed the…

That's what i'd like to know! Lol

I think it's it's the same girl. I believe it was taken from someones Fitness Blog. Very impressive!

Yes, that did surprise me! Hmm,... Interesting. I do have the occasional Quarterpounder and fries....but i wouldn't eat it every day. Lol

Great link,..thanks!
