Weight Loss Thread

[Ban Hammer 13,643]

how about we start a thread to see how tall everyone is? I always picture people shorter than they turn out being.

i'm sure everyone has the wrong idea about me.

geez I tower above everyone I'm 5'11"

I'm going to try this not after 6pm thing but I don't even get home until after 6pm so when do I eat dinner?

What time do you go to bed? If it's not until 10 or 11 then you can still eat dinner. Just try not to eat about 2 to 3 hours before you go to bed.

I drink some skim milk before I go to bed. I have to take meds and it absorbs easier with food, but milk works just fine.

I do not want to work out today. I'm going to but it'll be a lower intensity level. The back of thighs are hurting from the ellitipical but dang I like that machine.

I really love the 100 calorie snack packs. They are portioned out which really helps me control what I eat, plus I get cookies for only 2 points. Can't beat that. My faves are the Keebler Mini Stripe Fudge Cookies and the Grasshoppers.

I usually go to sleep about 2-3am so I can eat at about 9 or 10 and be fine I think

At my biometrics I said I was 7 pounds less than I was.

Because like...I am going to lose at least 7 pounds before the months end so I figured I should get a head start on it.

[Amby 490]

good plan

And I haven't been in this thread at all for a while because I gained 5 pounds over Christmas.

[Amby 490]

time to lose those 5lbs and let someone else find them hehe

Can I jump in here...I know you've been doing this for a while...I have lost 80 pounds so far with diet and exercise, but I still need to lose 60...I have definitely been stress eating, soo much on my plate (metaphorically speaking), but I have tried to stay within my calorie range and exercise daily....

It's been interesting reading the thread today!!!

Today must be Food Day in my department. A co-worker has a hook-up for Girl Scout cookies and is offering to let us get orders early. Then they decide to get pizza and someone brought in cookies for a b-day.

I'm going to have a piece of pizza but pass on everything else. Some days you just get hit with everything!

I just saw this on Yahoo, it's not sensational but may help some just getting started or trying to get back into healthier eating.

2" shorter than nessa

5'7" sounds like a good height.

That sounds perfect. Good Luck!

If I gained $1.00 for everytime I said no to fattening food I really wanted to have at work I'd make more money than my husband.

my scale claims my body fat is 22, which is terrible. I used to be lower than 15

22 is healthy, but lower than 15 is not. It's only barely healthy for someone in serious athletic training. You sound a little crazy/disordered Nessa!

I was in a pretty decent shape, meaning muscle shape instead of ''banha''

but I guess if I go to a low between 17-20 i'll be fine.
