OK, kitkat, here's how it is - BZ still at 133. I'm in my 10 plateau but next week it'll be down, as long as I keep away from the easter goodies. Gotta think SUMMER.

Weight Loss	130/120 Club?	Mar 17 2007 01:36 (UTC)	4,928
Hey knarik, it is a dilemma. So much wonderful food, but remember that the evening is also about the gathering of your extended family and that gives you something else to focus on. First don't go to dinner starving, then have what you want , but savor it. Try having just two or three bites of everything and in between bites have a extended conversation with your cousins, etc. Wear something with a belt , thats always a gentle reminder of your stopping point. And at an expensive place they may serve you a portion size that you request. Ask for the remainder of the meal in a bag and say you just want to have it when you're back at college. You may still go way over in cals for the meal but plan on extra activities to burn some off the following day. Remember nothing tastes as good as 135 feels. That's where I'm at now and like you I don't want to be near 140 again. Let us know how it goes! You might come up with something better than these few ideas.
Weight Loss	Calling all women with the about same stats as me (5' 4" and 148 pounds)	Mar 12 2007 14:12 (UTC)	7
Hey Megsmama. You sound like you're in the right mindset about this. Its being fit and staying healthy in the longterm thats important. But I have to say that if you mind your cals (with c-c) and keep training for the race the weight will melt off. I noticed it in myself last year when i trained for the 10k. Then i slacked off with the running since my mom is ill and the weight crept back up. Now I 'm on track again training for another 10k this month. And this time using c-c as a motivational resource(I'm a newbie) I'm determined to be able to keep it off. Now at 136, aiming for 125.
