Thanks everyone for the great advice. I had a discussion with her in the car on the way home from school about food explaining to her why I do what I do (in case I'm the culprit) as well as how we differ, i.e. activity level, age, and body type. And I explained that she is a growing girl. Her weight is going to increase as…

I don't know what she and her friends talk about with regard to weight, etc., at school or at swimming, but I'm sure these things come up. She was not at all clear when I asked her where that concern came from. I just worry about eating disorders. I had a friend in high school who was very naturally thin (5'4, 105 lbs,…

Pretty sure I broke 1000. :-(

Yes! I don't worry about going over calories. At 1200, I figure I have a few to spare. After what I've read, I'm probably under calories on eating, but I don't increase because I know that come the weekend I will over-do it on craft beer sampling. Not sure this is the best approach, and I hope I'm not in sabotage mode. A…

I am always looking to try new stuff! We have a few places in my area that primarily promote craft beer. Some local, some national. My husband and I are definitely amateur connoisseurs when it comes to beer, but the amount that is available nationally is astounding! And, yes, GUT BUSTING! Southern Tier Creme Brulee, Srping…

Oops. I meant Porter...Old Leg Humper is a porter. No false advertising!)

OMG.. Yes! This is exactly my problem. And I am a stout and porter lover, too. In fact, I type this with a Thirsty Dog Old Leg Humper Stout sitting next to me. (Purchased solely because the packaging was awesome! Ha!)

Thanks! That is why I stick to a basic 1200 cal, because I know my weekend "treats" will probably put me over cals and will increase my weekly total. And, again, I low carb only because on normal/weekdays, carbs usually leave me feeling hungry because I can and usually do, over-eat them (and that risk for type II diabetes…

I rarely drink anything else that I have to count (maybe I should count my usual Crystal Light & 4C Energy packets) but I know beer is a weight loss problem. I just enjoy it too much to give up. I've got to a lower carb diet otherwise (not because of beer, just because I am a carb junkie and I usually eat too much carbs,…

When I was 18, I weighed 117 lbs. at 5'4". I never had a "thigh gap" and my collar bones never stuck out. But I was thin. I wore anywhere from a size 8-10 or (in Junior sizing.. a 7-9) and thought my clothes were huge. Of course, I too had body image issues. I thought all my friends were thinner or had better bodies. Most…

As a former WW, I've seen this before. In fact, I've been guilty of it. I don't fault WW for it (this is definitely NOT a bash of the program, it served me well once, and I'd have a lot more to lose if it weren't for my experience with WW) it is just the way some individuals see things. Points makes things easy to count,…
