TBH love, (if your photo is up-to-date) you may just be at a happy weight for your body. You look quite slim!

I echo what everyone above has said. Then I add... Exercising makes me less hungry. Crazily enough, I eat LESS when I exercise. Exercising (in the right ways) tones your body...you may not "lose pounds" but you'll look a lot better, and feel a lot better! So go off how you feel, what your goals are (health/looks), and go…

Hey @Working2B - I know this sounds entirely counter-intuitive, but sometimes when I hit a plateau, varying my daily calorie intake helps make me go down. For example, 1200 one day, 1600 the next, then 1400, then 1800, then 1200 again. Additionally...do you do body measurements besides the scale? If you're weight training…

45, middle-management, taken

I tried a friend's for a week and hated it. The constant monitoring of my body through the device, instead of my own sense of my body and effort and feelings got me entirely out of whack. I'd never waste the $$ ;) To each their own!

Other folks here are jumping right onto a name-calling bandwagon, which I don't see as particularly productive. First you have to understand that your body does not "use up fat" and then neatly proceed to "using up muscle." When you cut calories, your body will go to BOTH MUSCLE AND FAT reserves to keep you alive and…

Getting married in August, and have 10 lbs to go. Add me! I'm good at this ;) (i've lost 125 total)

I prefer whiskey. More bang for your buck! (in a calories taken in:alcohol measurement)

I'm here just to add another question: With my tight schedule, I have two choices: 1: go to the gym (or workout in general) 5-6 times a week for an hour each 2: go to the gym 3 times a week for 1.5 to 2 hours each What do you all reckon?
-
Feel free to add me, everyone! I am currently 170, and I want to get down to 160. (I am 5'10", and built very curvy with hella booty...I don't want to be slim slim because it doesn't look good on me). But beyond the weight goal, I am adding circuit-training, rowing, and upper-body strength onto my new goals. I have tons of…

Anthropologie sells Pilcro and the Letterpress jeans. They're flipping amazing, and you'll pay for it. Their jeans in the "tall" size are perfect. I'm 5'10" and they're not a bit too short. Sometimes though the 'tall' size can be a little bigger so order down. And sign up for their emails - there are sales and free…

I'm 5'10" The highest I've been is 290 (holy chipotle!) The lowest I've been is 156 I am currently 170 I'm happiest between 158 and 164 I have lots of junk in my trunk (an excellent booty). I prefer to focus on strength, curves (small waist, big *kitten* is my favorite way to go), and what I am eating than a precise…

Our wedding is mid-August. Everything is set...I just have 10 more lbs to lose, and some arm-flab to tone up :) I would love love love some motivation buddies. Right now I do: 5 mile round-trip bicycle commute (daily) 1 hour circuit training (1x/week) 1 hour Spinning (1x/week) 1/2 hour HardCore workout (1x/week) 1 hour…

I'm one of your friends :) I'd like to be more active! I want to lose 10 lbs by my August wedding, so I'm on it now, I promise. Others feel free to add me too.

I am in for 4 more lbs by the end of February! 5'10" SW for the challenge: 171 GW for the challenge: 167 (Goal weight for August wedding: 160)

What do you normally cook? I'm not a vegetarian anymore, but when I was, these were my favorites: Anything with lentils (red lentils + water + sauteed onion & garlic + 1 can tomato + veggie boullion + cumin/curry/coriander (bloomed in oil!!!) + some diced carrots if you want) Bean chili (sauteed onion + garlic, black…

When I come home from a run, I immediately have a glass of water, or a glass of water with an Emergen-C packet in it for vitamins and electrolytes. Then I get busy making my breakfast that I have everyday (not pizza...a greek-yogurt & berry smoothie w/ extra soy protein added). Exercise like running/biking etc usually…

I can't say how much I lost, because I did it in insane ways (was 290 lbs, lost 30 in one month due to giardia & dysentery in a foreign country) and I wasn't really tracking back then. But it sounds like you're on track - and you've got such an awesome attitude towards it! You're right that exercising at 270 lbs is no fun…

Repo Man!

Oh my god please don't restrict during vacation. Try to be reasonable - maybe maintenance? You will really enjoy it, and be motivated to get back to it when you return :) Good luck - and have a flipping excellent time!!
-
I'm glad you found something that works for you, OP! :) I understand - banana muffins (though "natural") can pack a calorific punch, and if I'm looking to cut and stay full, I generally avoid them as well. Doesn't work for all - but if you want it, rock it! Don't worry about the haters.

You're winning it! <3

Hey girl. I know that feeling. It's awful. For me it wasn't until I started dealing with emotional issues that I was able to confront my weight and eating and sedentariness. For me, my weight and malaise was directly related to issues of sadness and depression that I had swept under the rug (related to loneliness, family…

Sorry to hijack the thread here, but... Hey PAV8888 - I haven't heard this idea before, but I find it interesting! I would be interested to see a citation or a source (though I understand not everything has or needs a "study" behind it to work for folks). I am 165, and at 5'10" that puts me 37 lbs above my "underweight"…

a week? that's nothing! give it 6+ weeks. then you'll really start to see changes.

So I always like to keep the list of things below constantly stocked in my kitchen. I will buy meats/fish/proteins, and whatever veggies and fruits are fresh and in season, and then decide what to make depending on what is on sale! With this list of condiments and cooking goods, you can pretty much make anything! A few…

I love my HUGE hands. I have rarely met men with larger hands (I can very easily palm a basketball) but they are slender and slim (size 6.5 ring on my ring finger). I love my height. I am 5'10" and when I wear my favorite 3" heels I am 6'1" and I love walking around as a 6'1" woman. I have thick, curly, dark brown hair…

What does "fat" mean to you?

I...don't celebrate Christmas.
