I'v lost the eqivalant of fats and oils an average American eats in a year. COOL!!

Im 5'5, 105 with a small frame, I would love to weigh 100.

Add me too please!!

I'm 5'5 & 105, small frame. This weight is ideal for me, love how my clothes fit. I wouldn't mind getting down to 100 though. :tongue:

Yes, I love roasted chickpeas. I just made a big batch last night. I like to keep a bag of them in my desk for snack. I dry roast mine, so yummy!! :love:

Im 5'5" too, my body shape is an inverted triangle. So my shoulders are broad, which I HATE, and my hips are very small. I tend to carry weight in my stomach & arms. My largest weight was 178 & I was in a size 12. Current weight is 105 & im in a size 0.

No worries, Im a coffee addict too and I lost weight just fine. Just try to lay off the sugar & cream.

Height: 5'5" Age: 30 Starting Weight: 178 Starting Bra: 38D Current Weight: 105 Current Bra: 34D I do have to mention that I had a boob job done at 21. So that's why my cup size is the same. I need to go get fitted though because my boobs are spilling out alittle bit.

No, but I'v lost 65 pounds without hitting a plateau. :drinker:

Before MFP @ 178 @ Goal- 105

Yes me, UGG!! I'v been having horrible night sweats for the past two months. I have never had this problem before. I have lost alot of weight in the past recent months, but I have lost alot of weight before and never had this problem...so I don't think it's my weight. I'v had a Temper-Pedic mattress for the past 4yrs and…

My original goal was 120, then 115, then 110, then 105. Im happy at 105, but wouldn't mind 100, lol.

Great Job!!

^^^So true, people need to leave this girl alone already. I think she looks great & good for her for losing the weight. The pictures of her going around look like they have been altered to make her look old and sickly.

Congrats on reaching your goal. I still log on and count my calories, it helps me keep things in perspective. 95% of the time I am within my calorie goal for the day. I splurge more on the weekends, holidays or special events. If you want to splurge I say do it, depriving yourself of certian foods will only hurt you in the…

Sounds yummy, I love Chobani Greek yogurt, pineapple & peach are my favs!! I always start my day off with coffee. Im a late breakfast eater so it's usually around 10:30 when I eat. Today it will be 1 Large Apple & a Coconut Cashew Quest Bar, YUM!!

Love your blog and great maintenance plan!! I really don't have a maintenance plan yet, I need to think about it and write it down. The main thing I have been doing to maintain for the past few months is keeping up with exercising 5 days a week just like when I was trying to lose weight. As far as eating goes, I limit what…

Again, I know how you feel. I think maintaining the weight is so much harder than losing it. You think "I worked so hard to lose it and I don't want to gain it all back." :sad: It's so frustrating!! You can eat a cheeseburger & fries like a normal person, but I don't think you/I will ever not worry about the calories. :cry:

I know how you feel. I restrict my calorie intake alot during the week just so I can eat decently on the weekend. However, I always feel bad about it on Monday and workout like crazy during the week to make up for it. It's really starting to stress me out. :frown:

I have never been on Celexa/Citalopram so can't help you there. I have been on Effexor XR 250mg for the past 2.5yrs. I have never had any problems with this medication making me gain weight. I did gain weight while on it but it was b/c I was eating alot, drinking alot & not exercising. Recently I noticed the Effexor not…

It's about the same for me since losing weight, but I am cold all the time now.

^^^^Haha...me too!! :laugh: I'm boney, you can see spine & sternum so I guess Im just grotesque!! :angry:

Haha, totally agree with you there. She looked horrible at the end of that movie. Thank God she's not that skinny in real life.

My family is horrible about this, they tell me I'm to skinny. But as soon as I gain weight their grabbing my fat and telling me I better watch my weight. Ugg, there's no in between with them. Try not to let people get to you. :flowerforyou:

^^Well said :smile:

Like previous people have stated, there are so many different body types out there. I'd say too skinny for me would be when my size 0's are loose or falling off me. My bones protrude in places but Im still within a healthy weight range for my height so I don't think Im "too skinny".

Hi Christina, welcome to maintenance & congrats on your weight loss. I wouldn't say Im struggling with maintenance but I am having some issues with it. Since begining maintenance I allowed myself an extra 300 calories (1500 total) but I never eat that much during the weekdays. I do however hit that if not more during the…

All weekend I blew my calories: Friday night: Pizza (4 slices) Saturday: Chicken & Rice casserole, heavy on the shredded cheese (Ate for Lunch & Dinner) Sunday Lunch: Celebrated Father-in-Laws birthday with fajitas, rice & beans & a big slice of Red Velvet Cake, YUM!! Sunday night: Pizza again, (4 slices) Back on track…

Once I hit my goal weight I entered into maintenance by allowing myself an additional 300 calories a day. I was/am very nervous about maintenance and still trying to figure it out. Happy to have the extra 300 calories (1500 a day) if I need them but still have a habit of only eating 1200. I find that I let myself splurge…
