Actually, I prefer shorter guys. I'm not talking like freakishly small but most of the guys I've been interested in have been between 5'3"-5'10" (I'm 5'3"). I dated a guy who was 6'3" briefly and actually found it rather awkward when we'd start kissing. He'd end up kinda crouching and his knees would hit my thighs and then…

I'm the same way. I know they say that you should only weigh once a week but I can't help myself!

I use Find Me, Gluten Free religiously but don't substitute it for good sleuthing. I'm INCREDIBLY SENSITIVE and have unfortunately gotten sick from several of the chains that have gluten-free menus (PF Chang's, Bonefish Grill, Outback). My sister is much less sensitive than me and she doesn't have to worry near as much. On…

I've actually had the opposite problem. I went gluten and dairy-free last year when I was diagnosed with Celiac's and I thought that would finally help me lose the weight I've put on in the last two years. But I actually started gaining more and several people I talked to have had the same experience. Replacement breads,…

Calorie Goal: 1540 (I admit that I usually go over though) Current Weight: 162 lbs. Goal Weight: 130 lbs. Height: 5'3"

I was similar in that I was thin as a rail as a child and my early teens. I am a fast food junkie and haven't ever had good eating habits but as a kid, my metabolism was high enough to handle it. I probably gained about 10 lbs. in college and every year after but because I was so thin it really wasn't a problem until about…

I'm so proud of all of you! Today I exercised for the first time in months. I've been a member of My Fitness Pal for over a year but have actually gained (not lost) almost 30 lbs. because I don't eat right. Although that is still a huge hurdle to overcome, I made a baby step by working out for 30 minutes on the Wii. Hooray…

I'm between 5'3"-5'4" and I'd like to be between 135-140 lbs. Ideally, 125-130 lbs. would be best for my body but if I can get down to 140 I'll be happy, considering I was 138 lbs. when I started here and now I'm almost 160! :(

This is something I really struggle with too. I've gained roughly 20 lbs over the last year and a lot of that has been due to chaos and uncertainty in my life. I'm with you that I feel a lot better when I work out - my problem is remembering that after a stressful day at work. Oftentimes I don't want to go if I'm not…

I believe i fall in the former category - need to lose the weight!

I'm the same way. I gave up wearing shorts a few years ago and I don't even wear sundresses much because, although they are comfortable, the non-formfitting ends up making me look like I'm pregnant. The goal? By the end of the summer be able to wear a dress without someone asking me how many months I am!

I'm in a very similar boat. I joined this site about a year ago because I'd gained 10-15 lbs since college and didn't like it. But I got so discouraged because it seemed impossible to stay below the 1,240 calories needed (and I'm only trying to lose 1 pound a week, not two). I kept track of my food semi-consistently even…
