I'm the same height and build as you, but I don't think it is so much about the ab area. I was asked once when i was only about 10 lb overweight and had a very flat stomach just because I had on a loose shirt. But I agree, people shouldn't ask that sort of thing unless they know in advance!

I'm 5'10 1/2" and my current goal is to get under 225, then 200, then I will aim for final goal. Not quite sure where that will land, somewhere between 160 and 170 I think. Would love to get lower, but don't know if I can.

My memory of gelato and pizza in Italy is pretty much the same as yours. I remember asking for small gelato and not being able to finish it.

My approach, or what it is worth - I let myself splurge on the weekends. I don't bring chocolate into the house, ever. I buy…

Sorry to hear about the meds weight gain. I had the same thing happen, but I didn't know that the meds did it until Ia few years had gone by and I had gained a lot. A dietician finally told me. If your meds are like mine they slow certain things in the brain and as a side effect slow the metabolism. Just keep the faith,…

Will keep my fingers crossed for you that they have some shrimp rolls that you can fill up on...

I used to burn1000 occasionally, but to do it I was on the elliptical going fast for 90 minutes or so. I don't follow the mfp estimates. They seem inconsistent to me. I wouldn't count cleaning unless it is something major. Likewise i only count a small amount of what I have on the pedometer. (I may be shopping, but I…

I haven't been here long, but I am inclined to agree with most people, you probably have a better chance with friending guys, at least until people get to know you from you being in conversations, then maybe some of the girls might become friends. That said, I went back and read your first post, and it seemed like you were…
