Hi! 6ft here. I've recently hit my goal weight of 170 and would like to lose another percent or two of body fat. I spent the summer in Alaska and have lost most of my active friends so I'm looking for more friends to share the journey with.

A very special man in my life once told me to let him be my mirror. I try to remember that. See yourself reflected in his eyes, it's a heady experience.

Actually he makes great sense.

Well, start tracking your calories for sure, make sure you have good low calorie foods around for when you feel the need to munch, it happens. One thing that has worked for me in the past is to step down my calories. For example, If you track your calories and find that you are eating 2500 per day, then step the calories…

I'm sure this has already been said, but 1) if it were me, I would tell the Dr. what you are willing to do calorie wise and 2) the scales that measure body fat are not terribly accurate. If you list 5 inches off your waist, it was probably fat. There's just not that much muscle there, you'd pretty much have to have it…

OK, how do you post a picture?

Well, you look very bite-able. Good job!

On the topic of push ups, I work on boats, so I have to improvise when I can't get to the gym. You can go from wall push ups to counter top/dresser/back of couch, what ever is stable. Then of course when you are ready to go to the floor, do knee bent. I'm pretty strong, but carry most of my weight below the belt, so I've…

Try the smaller patch. Hang in there!

I just quit 2 weeks ago because it was becoming a big negative in my life. It's made the eating right and working out so much easier. My diary is closed only because I never organize it, i just throw everything in there and I get tired of comments about what food I ate when, but if you'd like to add me, I'd love to share…

They've already been deep fried so I think they are so packed with fats that they can't absorb any more. I really think you're just heating them up. Enjoy! :-)

Odd hours make it hard. When I get hit with those 30 hour days, I just try to keep it under maintenance level, then maybe be really good on the days I get more sleep. Those days are tough on your body.

Weight training will help shape your body and building muscle makes it so much easier for me to loose weight. You will simply burn more calories if you have more muscle. You look pretty young, so time will probably do a lot for the lumps and bumps as well. Young skin will shrink a bit over time. Hang in there!

Now I have to look up the Cauliflower crust recipie. Sounds tasty!

Totally wear all my jeans.

At 48 years old and getting back in shape, I'm gonna have to say yes.

^^^ Good advice, keep it slow and fun at first especially. I find that my Heart Rate Monitor keeps me going back.

"You can eat a lot, you just can't eat a lot everyday" ~ tall thin and beautiful former roommate.

That makes no sense unless your 3'2". Sounds like your numbers got mixed up.

Ok, I've totally been missing the booby shots. :-/

Licking fur off is often a symptom neurosis, much like birds plucking their feathers. The cat can be bored or stressed. More likely this than a food allergy.

White zin actually goes quite well with spicy foods. The sweet stands up to Mexican foods and other spicy recipes that less sweet wines will get lost with. Budweiser is for teenagers. :-P

What's a maxi dress? Is that like a mumu? Have fun with clothes while your young.

A big dog is a bigger safer deterrent than a gun. I love guns, but really in a bad neighborhood you're more likely to get it stolen and used against you. It sounds like this guy is crazy and was just running off at the mouth. Keep your head low, lock your doors and bring your dog inside. Odds are his brain is like Swiss…

6' and med/large frame. 165-175 is great for me. Good luck!

Beans and brown rice is one of my favorite diet dishes. It can be made low fat/high flavor. It's yummy and healthy and the calorie to satisfaction ratio is great. And really, it cant be more than 40 cents per serving even if you flavor the pot with a piece of bacon. Good luck!

Well, from what you said, the pants were too tight and now they aren't? Is that correct? Sounds like a great thing. Perhaps I'm confused. Personally, I've never been able to buy clothes by size because there is no standard.

Wow! Great changes.

I love to mix salsa and ranch dressing for salads. This is especially good with baby greens (lettuce) burritos: Put a little low fat or no fat cheese on a tortilla and pop it in a toaster oven to warm and lightly toast, then fill with baby greens and dress with ranch/salsa dressing, roll and enjoy.

They also eat yam (miracle) noodles. Just saying.....
