It Works! Wraps. Detox tea, or any other short term gimmick. Anyone over 30 will remember Sugar Busters and Adkins :s

Yes! I am definitely one of those girls who looks too skinny up top. I've been lifting weights and working on getting a stronger upper body so maybe (hopefully) I'll look more proportionate. Bonus would be if I could decrease the hip/saddlebag area :)

I'm 5'5" and at 162 lbs I wore a size 12, and now at 125-130 lbs, I'm in a size 6. I have wide hip bones and have never been smaller than a 4, even when I was under 110 lbs. The 6's fit big in the waist, but fit fine on the hips. :) I'm definitely pear shaped!

This may sound silly, but also look at where you place your scale. I can move my scale along the bathroom floor and get different weights each time (some +/- 2 lbs)

You look just like Jane Krakowski! (look her up if you don't know who she is, she's gorgeous - Jacqueline on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt)

I'm sending you ladies a request. :) I love blogilates! I follow her calendar every day.

Thank you for explaining this. I *think* this is what's happening to me now (although my complete accident, but yay!). :)

Calorie counting is free, WW isn't. I'll always go with the free choice :)

Weight isn't everything. How do you feel? How are your labs? Maybe you can take measurements and check your waist to hip ratio. Personally, I'm 5'5 and my goal has always been 125. BUT once I got there I found it very hard to maintain, I'm pretty sure my body likes me a little heavier, and I'd rather be between 130-135…

Dang, why does my pic not show up? :(

You look just like my high school classmate Diana, so I'm going to say very good at math :)

The good news is, 4 pounds isn't much at all, and very easily reversible. I do understand how frustrating it is, especially when you're trying to LOSE, but you end up maintaining on what you think you should be losing from. I've never weighed a single food item (I know, a big no-no in the MFP world but it works for me),…

The last one I used was a skinny whey protein for women - it was chalky and had a terrible aftertaste IMO. I've heard good things about Quest protein powder, but I haven't personally tried it.

According to my iWatch, I burn around 1700 a day with 12k-14k steps a day. I've always thought this was off, but I guess I'd rather underestimate than overestimate.

The one that took up for the people getting picked on

@Bonny132 Haha! Quite the opposite :) I'd say you were the mysterious one ;)

Very good at sports

That we've found Reese Witherspoon's doppelganger

March/jog in place at your desk every 30 mins or so. I also have a desk job and do this as well as walk the long way to bathroom, brisk walk outside when i can get away, etc.

Thank you! I hate when someone says my bf% must be high for my weight, height, and size to coincide like they do. It's like "You calling me skinny fat or what?" Hip bones are not going anywhere, no matter how much bf% I lose :)

Jenna Fischer

Dem legs.... :)

For me, it's not a higher body fat % putting me at a higher size, it's my hip bones. You can't lose bone LOL Edit: My measurements are 33 x 28 x 38

I'll probably stop counting after today, to be honest. Did the same thing last year, gained 7 lbs in 2 weeks and lost it all by the middle of January. Sometimes it's nice to be a normal person and just not give a crap. LOL

I'd also like to know about Old Navy. I wear the same sizes there that I do everywhere else, but I ALWAYS hear about ON "vanity sizing" like crazy. I've also heard someone say one time that Old Navy was "the fat ladies version of Gap" and I wanted to slap them!!!

Besides your doppelganger Reese, you also resemble a young Sonia Satra (She was a soap star in the 90's on Guiding Light, I was obsessed with that soap back in the day ;) )

I totally read this as "fricken YODA video"... "Hears what you say to it, your body does..." OK, I'll stop being weird now. :)
