I eat a 3 oz salmon 5 days a week at work with whatever vegetable we are serving that day or a dry salad. My calories for lunch are about 220 calories and I don't think you could do better for such a healthy meal. In fact when I first started eating salmon I didn't particularly like it but figured that it was low in calories compared to what I would normally eat. Now I love it.

Hi Sarah. When I weighed 117 my lowest ever, most size 2's were big on me. Was128, I wish I wore a small or medium size shirt. I usually wear a large even at 130. I was a competitive swimmer for years growing up and have a very broad back and shoulders.

I eat most of calories in the evening. For breakfast I have a slimfast shake on mornings I don't work out but most mornings I work out and I have a wheat bagel scooped out with fat free cream cheese and a slice of deli ham on it. I love it. For lunch I have 3 oz. of grilled salmon and whatever vegetable we are serving that day or a dry salad. I am a restaurant manager. Dinner can be anything as long as I stay within 1600 and I leave room for fat free frozen yogurt.

I love musicals. I have a lot of favorites depending on my mood. I listen to Rent when I do cardio. I love A Chorus Line, Camelot, Phantom of the Opera and Sunset Boulevard. I've seen them all on stage as well as Wicked which I thought was great.

Hi there, I know exactly what you are talking about. I am 5'7" and 130 at the moment. My goal weight is 123. In my 20's I got up to 199 lbs probably more but that was when I felt I had lost some weight and was able to face getting on the scale. I went on a diet and exercise program of my own making and lost about 80 lbs over a years period. I gained some weight back when I hit 40 and have been counting calories mostly since then. I too get the why do you want to know how many calories are in whatever it is I am thinking of eating you are thin. I get the why are you on a diet, why do you work out every day. I just tell them so that I remain thin and fit. I too have loose skin in a couple of spots that luckily for me are only seen by my husband. It doesn't bother me too much because I know what I looked like before. Exercise helps. I would speak to a trainer before I went to a surgeon but after that if it still bothers you have the surgery.

Weight Loss How do you know what is your goal or ideal weight - inspired by the GAP thread. Oct 07 2007
20:40 (UTC)

Check out this website, calories per hour. http://www.caloriesperhour.com/tutorial_ideal .html

It has several formulas for calculating what your ideal weight is, as well as how long it will take to reach your goal weight. I choose the healthier formula because I have been this weight and it was maintainable and I felt that I looked good.

A Healthier Formula

Healthier, leaner versions of the Hamwi formulas can be found in the book Eat To Live:  The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Lossby Dr. Joel Fuhrman:

  • For men:  105 lb for the first 5 ft; 5 lb for each inch over 5 ft

     

  • For women:  95 lb for the first 5 ft; 4 lb for each inch over 5 ft

 

Weight for a Female 5 ft 7 in Tall:  123 lb

Wow this is interesting I guess it just depends on the size of your frame. I have a small frame, I am 5'7" 130 and wear a size 6. My goal weight is 123 ish and at that weight I wear a size 4.

I would like to be a small size 4 again. I am a big 6 right now. My biggest size was size 18 when I was about 29. As a teenager I wore a size 12 or 14. My smallest size was a small 2.

I am 5'7" and weighed 130 today. My goal weight is 123 ish. At 130 I don't look my best. I know because I weighed between 122 to 125 all through my 30's. I have a small frame and those extra 7 lbs. make a huge difference for me. I will try and post a picture of me at 120 size 4. Your goal is not unrealistic. Good luck and go for it.
Weight Loss what has been your highest weight? Oct 06 2007
06:18 (UTC)
My highest weight was 199. I think I hit the 200 mark but wouldn't get on the scale until I felt that I had lost some weight. I was 29 or 30. I lost about 80 lbs and kept them off all through my 30's. When I hit 40 I started gaining weight again and have been dieting on an off since then. I am 45 5'7" small frame and 131lbs. My goal weight is 123 which was a comfortable weight for me to maintain in my 30's.
