I only have about 15 lbs to lose... I doubt I can do it in 8 weeks, but maybe the motivation will help :)

I like to have big, protein-filled breakfasts... like 500 cals, 30g protein. It gives me tons of energy, and I prefer to have a smaller dinner.

I was about 175 at 5'10.

Same thing has happened to me since I was a kid. I also highly recommend not trying to walk through the black - I have hit the floor trying to do that before. Sometimes if I sit down when I feel it coming on, I'll still open my eyes and I'm lying on the ground. Be careful!

It could be your measuring cup... mine are stupid, only the 1/4 and 1 cup are accurate... 3 1/3 cups or 2 1/2 cups cause the 1 cup to overflow... I have also found that my scale is super sensitive to surfaces that aren't 100% flat. If it's on a cutting board with a wobbly leg or a part of the counter that isn't 100% flat…

I haven't read through all the posts here, but I understand where your husband is coming from - mine is the same way. He doesn't want me posting half naked pics of myself online, and I can understand and accept that! I don't think he has any problem with me posting regular pictures in clothes, though - those could just be…

Nope - I only live a few doors down so I boot it home and shower there. Then I can relax over my coffee while my hair dries, rather than spending however long trying to blow dry it so it doesn't freeze on the walk home. I'm sure I don't look beautiful, and in -30 weather it's a little chilly when I'm sweaty, but I live!

Ours was Moonlight - Bob Dylan. (My hub is a HUGE Dylan fan!!)

I have a Polar FT7 and my numbers sound just like yours. I am not too worried about it - I am more concerned about the really high calorie burn I get because I have to wonder if it's right!

So sweet!! So glad things went so well :D

I too am bumping so I can see what happens!! I say go for it, girl! :)

I too am so sorry for your loss. That was a very touching story, and so wonderful of you to stop for people who needed you even when you had so many reasons not to stop.

Sonoma Valley, mostly, with a day trip to San Fran and a few other towns nearby. It was short - about 5 days -but wonderful! And I just got back from a trip to Germany, and Munich was one of my very favourite parts! Enjoy!

X-Files!

I'm 5'10, currently 165 but my favourite, happiest weight was at 140. I once was at 130, but was way too skinny. With a bit of muscles this time around, I'm happy anywhere between 140-150. Totally depends on your frame! When I was 180 I didn't look nearly as good as some of the girls on here!

I also have to agree... As Sidesteal said, a scoop of ice cream is not going to make you fat. But for some people (sugar addicts), it's really hard to stop at one scoop. I do find that a few weeks of "sugar detoxing" really helps you appreciate the sweetness in small amounts of sweets, or in fruits, and eliminates the…

I know that the less sugar I eat, the less sugar I crave. A week or two of eliminating candies, chocolates and desserts helps a lot to control my cravings!

@ Sheriemae - 27?

Yes, I was wondering the same thing!

I have the FT7 - I can't compare it to the FT4, but I find the FT7 easy to use and I know it measures my heart rate accurately... I just can't shake the feeling that it overestimates my calories burned - but not everyone seems to find that!

Sounds like a fantastic day, congrats!! :)

As the others said... brush your teeth and eat gum. I'm so bad at doing that, though... I never do it because I know I want to eat some dough. And then I eat a ton of dough. If you are serious about it, chomp on that gum!! :)

Hi all! I live in Mile End.

It's not a slip up if you eat what you planned. Because you made the cheesecake, you can calculate the calories in it and fit it into your daily plan. Have a small piece. People won't get on your case, and you can still enjoy your brother in law's birthday. Everything in moderation! And tomorrow is a new day. Even if you…

My husband is about 5'9 and 135-140. He's skinny but not nearly as skinny as he was when we started dating. I would think 6' and 150 would be pretty lean.

I didn't even know "folding" existed! It never crossed my mind that there was another way to use toilet paper than to "scrunch"!!

You can add me if you like! I'm 5'10, around 160-165 and looking to get down to 140-150.

I get Anne Hathaway all the time too, but I do not see it!!

I'm also 5'10. My highest was about 175 and my lowest was 130. On my body, the 130 was far too low and I found 140 to be better. But that was definitely a skinny-fat 140, and so with a bit of muscles I think 145-150 is perfect on me. Right now I'm 160 and looking to lose those 10-15 lbs.
