I'm right with you, I'm 5'3 and weighed myself yesterday. I've gained 13 pounds since my last weigh-in! I think it's muscle because my measurements are the same, but even so, I'd like to lose a couple pant sizes. I know it's possible, for me and for you as well.

Thanks everyone, these are all really helpful:)

Those sound great, thanks!

No, it's not safe to hold it. You can get a bladder infection doing that too much. Just pee! lol

Tofu.. I eat it a lot. Also, soy milk and soy creamer for tea.

OH MY GOD EW.

When I eat ice cream, I wait for the edges to melt and eat that part only. And I keep doing that until it's gone. I think that's about it. haha

Ughh I just realized she already mentioned tofu. Oh well. Trying it today. :D

I've been a vegetarian for 2 years and I'm interested in going vegan, too. I've tried and failed, but I think my problem was not getting enough protein and calories. I may try again using smarter methods.. I'm going to keep checking this thread for ideas. haha

You look so awesome and happy and healthy:) That took a lot of commitment and strength, good job!

Germany... Berlin or Frankfurt. I went there when I was 17 and never wanted to leave.

Sounds good to me.

Hi! I'm new here as well. I'm glad you're optimistic. I'm sure you'll see results soon if you keep thinking positive and make good choices. :)

I have the same stats as you (5'3, 130 lbs).. Anyway, what has worked for me is a relatively small breakfast to set the tone for the rest of my meals for the day. Also, first thing in the morning: drink a tall glass of cold water and do some cardio before eating anything. I've done this in the past and I went from 130 to…

In the future: a navel ring to adorn my newly flat stomach.

I've been there too and it's an extremely hard place to be. What helps me get out of it is taking a day to stop and reassess my eating habits by eating only when I'm hungry, and only enough to satisfy me. Start your day in a way that will set your habits for the rest of the day: when you first wake up, drink a tall glass…

Plank. Doing a static plank for one minute 3 times a day dramatically reduces stomach fat. Tried and true method for me.

Yum! I used to love Bulgogi when I was still eating meat.. however I am now a vegetarian. Would this recipe be ok if I substituted tofu for the meat? It looks great!
