I'm sort of vain. I want to be 130-135. I was at 139 and was so close! I'm already anywhere from a size 4-10 depending on the manufacturer. I'm mainly trying to get my legs to get smaller, they are the final piece. I know you guys can understand that.

The weight I count is first thing in the morning. The most frustrating part is this is the weight my body likes to settle at and to get lower I have to do something to kick start. I did carb cycling and it stayed off for 2 weeks. I thought I had it kicked, but no. Boo! This was also the first time I lost weight in the past…

I'm just so frustrated. I thought I had LOST weight on the trip b/c I was so good with my diet and exercise :cry:

At least we aren't alone :smile:

Been trying to lose them for the past year.....I had a little success and got 2 pounds lower than I am now, Easter arrived and I never saw those numbers again :ohwell: Any tips would be appreciated. Stats: 5'5" weight lifting female CW 141 GW 130 PS I'm on the pill and will be going off soon and I'm wondering if that would…

Thank you! This has been driving me crazy for years!

If you open your journal, we might be able to help you.

If I were you I would break up my meals a bit. You seem to eat 3 large meals regularly. I eat 6 times a day (sometimes more) of smaller things. Try to go for a 300-400 calorie breakfast, morning snack around 100-200, 300-400 calorie lunch, 100-200 calorie snack, dinner around 400-500 and then maybe something after dinner…

Think, "Being thin feels sooooo much better than that would taste." Works for me :flowerforyou:

Maybe you should change your setting to lose 1 pound a week. The 1200 is not enough for me and not only do I get to eat more on 1 pound a week, but I feel better, and lose weight faster!

These are great! I made them a while ago. Are you an Oxygen reader? :wink:

There is an awesome recipe on Hungrygirl.com where you combine a boxed cake mix and pumkpin. It is sooooo good! I did chocolate and spice cake mixes. They also have recipes where you use diet soda with cake mix and yogurt. That webpage would be an excellent resource for what you are trying to do :)

How about you make your own dressing? That could help! I also agree with those that say stay away from anything processed (ahem, Lean Cuisine) that pretends to be healthy. If you need the convenience of freezer foods, cook several things over the weekend and freeze them. Then all you have to do is defrost and eat :)

If he's a good friend you should tell him that Champagne is a problem for you and maybe suggest something else. Tell him your goals and there's a good chance he would be a big supporter and try to help you. My husband used to eat ice cream in the evenings in front of me on the couch, and anything else (chips, cookies,…

I used to weigh myself every day, and then the summer happened :) I think I gained about 5-7 pounds (I don't know, b/c I didn't exactly find out). All of my "teacher clothes" were tighter when I went back to school this year. I refused to weigh myself until they fit better. What I have been doing is weighing myself at the…

The site is not good with allotting protein amounts. I always go over by a ton. I lift weights and exercise 5 days a week and my body needs the protein to feed my muscles. I even have protein shakes with milk. Don't worry about going over at all. It is not an issue (unless you are eating unhealthy options like bacon all…

Take note of what they say after explaining it. The experts talk about how it encourages overeating and possible weight gain after due to a dip in the metabolism. I would say it isn't worth it to be honest.

You'll be so glad you did! It's like a dessert......

You have the right idea here. I rarely eat processed foods and the weight melted off when I did that. I use pyrex containers. You could even make single servings and put them in the freezer. That way it would last much longer than 4 or 5 days. Also, you could make several things and have variety in the freezer. Just don't…

I definitely ate a bunch of those yesterday, and peeps, and jelly beans, and cake......

So glad I'm not alone. I felt so terrible! This has never happened before. Next time I go to a doctor I'll be asking about this. I didn't mind coming home to a long nap, but I sure did mind the headache, ugh. I just couldn't help myself :tongue:

Hooray! You go!

Ditto!

I heart Hungry Girl! I've been a subscriber for 4 years!

Glad I'm not the only one who feels chunky when I wear a big t shirt to the gym! I got a cute top from TARGET too :) I'm actually wearing it today for my first outdoor run since last summer :happy:

I would love to hear the answer here. I'm stuck trying to get to the same place you are!

Same here!

Easter candy has always been my favorite. I try to eat only a portion or half portion if I really have to have it! Happy Spring! :flowerforyou:

How does it taste? Love all the music stuff BTW :flowerforyou:
