Play around with your calories. You're doctor COULD be wrong for what works best for you. Try still eating the 1500 cal/day. Still workout and get in your burn, but instead of eating back all of the calories, try eating half and see what happens. Then try NOT eating them back, see what happens. Also, are you using a HRM to…

It's on the tip of my tongue...hmmm hmmm. For me...I think it depends. But for me, I'd take turns each time going out. Or maybe depending upon what the date involves. If he offers to pay for food, I'd offer to pay for tip, or something else along the date. I'm just prepared to pay at any minute.

Inches...definitley. Now don't get me wrong. I'd LOVE to weigh less so I can be swooped up off my feet from a man...but at 5'11'' and currently at 174...probably not going to happen. Perhaps at 155...but I'd rather LOOK smaller than weigh less. :bigsmile:

I love all the Clif bars and Builder bars...ones with chocolate, peanut butter or mint. I also have been buying the Balance bars...chocolate chip cookie dough. I'd forgotten about them until I was reading a magazine last week. They are so good!

That's a HUUUUUUUGE NSV!!! One that I can relate to! I have several pairs of boots that don't fit properly...not yet. Still too snug...but SOON...but it will be summer by then...maybe spring if I dig in my heels...so to speak. :laugh:

Awwwwww, shucks...(kicking pepples)

I have so much Nike and Under Armour...a friend thought I was sponsored by UA. lol...

Sometimes yes...sometimes no...:bigsmile:

You'll definitely be more toned doing some sort of resistance training. Good luck! :happy:

:happy: I'd go with the elliptical because I would use it more and burn more calories on it...biking inside bores me now...outside is fine.

Ditto THAT!!! I think I gained a fraction of an inch...JUUUUST over 5'11'' now...seriously...no really...will get checked at next dr appt. :bigsmile:

:huh:

Yeah...I figure better safe than sorry, so I've switched over to Splenda...and stopped all soda...period. Hopefully I'll save some $$$ too. :happy:

You can eat at any time, but for me, I try to not eat a few hours before bed. I find when I do that, that I wake up less tired and bloated...but that's me. I try to eat throughout the day and not get too hungry. I think many people eat emotionally after a certain hour and they could benefit from not eating after a certain…

I wouldn't mind being between 148-155...I'm 5'11'' but have a smaller frame...at least if you go by my wrists and ankles! But I'd rather weigh 160 and be toned and firm at a higher weight. Just started doing resistance training again and can't wait to see more muscle definition as the fat melts off. :bigsmile:

Ouch Girl!!!! Did they have to cut really deep???? ugh...great NSV even without all that!!!

I was at about 10 lbs or so away last Summer...Dad died, work stress, etc etc, and now I'm at about 15-20 to lose again. I've recently added in strength training, AGAIN. I used to do it more often but got bored. Now I know I felt better and just was firmer when I did it consistently. So I'm into my second week of getting…

Well...over the last few days it's been ice cream with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles...at least it's almost gone. :\

Ditto!!!

That would happen every once in a while with mine...don't know why. I noticed that when I moved the battery off to my side (against my ribs) the reading was off. Once I moved it back to the center of my chest the readings were once again accurate. I've had the Polar HRM for about 5 years now or so. When I got my latest…

I'm just over 5'11'', but have a long torso and my legs are average, so I can wear the long jeans, but they usually hit the ground unless I wear some sort of heel...forget flip flops. My inseam is about 34, so I especially have issues finding jeans that are comfortable (not too stiff) and are long enough and look good in…

THANK YOU! :)

For the most part I'm doing 1600-1800cal/day everyday regardless if I workout that day. I was doing well with that until PMS hit last week, but back on track and also just started doing weights again...so the scale will need to be avoided for a week or two until my body loses some of the soreness and period bloat. I'm…

Exactly. I'm also expecting my period anytime between NOW and Friday. Can't wait until next week. ;) My fingers are sausages as I type this...

I think I should try this. I seem to sabotage myself RIGHT before WI day. So the next day I'll weigh in will be Feb 28th. :bigsmile: Looking to hopefully be into the 160s by then. :smile:

I'd like to lose just one of her legs. :bigsmile:

I'm also 5'11'' and currently about 174...looking to be at 150-156...see how my body looks/feels at 156 then take it from there. :bigsmile:

Today I want something chocolate...or Edy's cappuccino chip froyo...don't know why...it's so cold and snowy out...if I can just get through tonight I'll plan for it tomorrow or Wednesday.

I don't have too much to lose, but for me, it was not fitting into my clothes anymore and just feeling "blobby." Getting back slowly but surely.

ANY carb rich food!!! I can eat a whole box of pasta and not blink...it just doesn't fill me up! Also ice cream...it's baaaaaaaad.
