Over the years the textile and apparel industry has Resized garments to make us bigger girls think we were smaller. Yes, they did!

5'11", 180 and I'm there....but I have a large frame:)

Make your own by adding cinnamon or vanilla to the filter basket. Fat free half and half is your friend:)

I take a bottle of water everywhere I go. Also, I dring 3 cups of water with ice during my workout each morning. NO coffee until the water is gone.

enjoy!

Really good balsamic vinegar with a touch of extra virgin olive oil makes any salad better:bigsmile:

It's a term that refers to the states located in the Southeastern part of the United states! LOL!

I had the same thing happen. It took about a month for my weight to level out. Congrats on the loss!

Consignment shops and thrift stores can sometimes be great sources for these items! Congrats on the loss!

Love six inch turkey or turkey & ham on wheat with lots of veggies and oil & vinegar in place of the mayo. I do add the cheese...you can also have a salad with lots of spinach (at least my subway now offers spinach).

Don't do it!

Happy Birthday to you! Yes, we can, I'm 54!

Stop and work on toning your body....you've done great. I too reached that point and am happy now:)

I am 55 years old and also had a hysterectomy. How many pounds are you set to lose each week? I had my greatest success at 1 pound per week. Eat all your calories plus your exercise calories. That is what worked for me!

Stay away from buffets!!!!!

Fat free half and half is my weakness!

How many pounds are you set to lose each week? It is sad when docotors won't address your concerns. I would say if it's only for a week, you are probably okay. However, if it continues past 14 days, I would see my doctor.

I moved to 1/2 lb per week when I was 5 lbs from goal. Now I am set to maintenance and have lost another 2 lbs. I try to eat all my exercise calories and have lost 33 lbs. I am 5'11" so I am allotted 1900 cals per day. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

I too have reached my goal and have a calorie count of 1900. Don't stop exercising. I have moved from 5 workouts a week to 4 and keep logging and eating healthy. Are you drinking enough water?

Go to the DQ website. Looks like a mini blizzard might fit the bill:)

any motion is better than none at all......MOVE OUT!

Amen sister, from someone who has been there. It is so nice to buy regular clothes! IMHO this website's greatest tool is that button on the food diary page that at the end of the day gives you that boost to continue.....if every day were like today, you will weigh_____ in 5 weeks. Love seeing that number go down. I started…

Canadian bacon has become a new fave. Also, crustless quiche or a frittata with eggbeaters and lot of veggies along with some lowfat cheese. Salsa and reduced fat sour cream and tons of flavor....maybe some avocado with it!

As long as it is the same pair of shoes, it should not matter as long as you are consistent. I weigh at home with no shoes.

You will hear lots about whether to eat your exercise calories, both for and against. I have had great success eating the calories I'm allowed, including exercise. My goal each day is to have some calories remaining. Hope this helps!

I pack turkey or ham, a whole grain sandwich round, one ounce of lowfat cheese, mustard and/or light mayo separately. At lunchtime I assemble the fresh sandwich. Add a variety of fruit or fresh veggies along with pretzels or my new fave a serving of wheat thins crisp stix. Changing types of mustard and cheeses will also…

Get out and walk.....any exercise is better than nothing!

Gotta have the occasional ice cream!

Take your measurements today so you can see what's happening!

Whole oats can be made in the microwave as easily as instant. 1/2 cup oatmeal to 1 cup water. Much better for you and less expensive:)
