I'm 5'9" currently averaging 149 lbs.  When I try to lose weight I eat 2000-2300 a day.  I have been struggling on the weekends though.  I always manage to eat between 3000 and 4000 calories at least one day between Fri and Sun..sometimes more than one day.  If I could just stick to my weight loss number I would have no problems losing weight.  I have myself listed at sedentary and add my exercise in as well.  My burn is usually between 2400 and 3000 a day.  I need to start cracking the whip on myself so that I can lose my 10 lbs before the holidays...I know I will probably be gaining...better to gain back the same 10 than to add another 10 on top of that!  LOL 

I squat and lunge holding a 20lb weight in each hand.  I use the leg press machine at the gym set to 180lbs.  I do a lot of reps with static holds while using weighs for upper body as well.  Maybe I should follow the plan for the NROWLFW since I read the book and stop running for a while (not that I have that choice now anyway).  My doctor says to start swimming.  Only the gym I go to at lunch doesn't have a pool....guess that's what a free gym will get ya!

I eat so much more when I'm happy and excited!  Social settings with friends and family when the mood is upbeat and there are lots of goodies around are the worst situations for me!  Doesn't help that I am a naturally happy and excited person either!  I'm not complaining about that...but it certainly doesn't help the waistline! :-P

I use to walk with weights on the treadmill.  I find it to be a MUCH better workout when I walk at a 4.3 alternating every minute with a 15 incline and a 7 incline.  Now THAT'S a workout! I go for as long as I can go....I usually make it 20 minutes and then set the treadmill to a level 20 random hills workout and walk for another 20 minutes at a 4.0.

I work out for 40min to an hour in the am 5 days a week at home, 5 days a week over lunch at the gym for about 40 min and I use the weekends to go for long runs outside.  So I work out 7 days a week, several times a day.  Everyday is different though except for the weekends...unless I change my route.  Not too mention my two mile walk every evening with my 6 year old.

Hmmmm, I'm feeling tempted!  I can't even remember the last time I felt full!!!  I'm under the assumption that I don't have the hormone leptin.  I can eat and eat and eat and NEVER just stop because I'm full...I just keep on going until the food runs out!

Dark chocolate peanut butter and sugar free strawberry jelly wraps (WW low carb wraps).  With a side of steamed broccoli and chickpeas sprinkled with parmasen.  Might be a weird combo...but it REALLY hits the spot! :-)

Wow...when I was a teen (and I was a cheerleader as well) I ate AT LEAST...and I didn't count calories...but I know I ate a minimum of 3000 calories a day!!!  I ate two of every meal!  What I wouldn't do to go back to that time in my life!!!  Listen girlie...you have the rest of your life to worry about calories.  For now you should be focused on fueling your body and mind and staying active and happy!  The rest will naturally fall into place. 

Tonight is eggie night!  Eggs, cheese, beans, ww toast, and a big glass of cold refreshing milk.  :-P

The rolls from Red Lobster...man I could throw back them suckers all day!

800 would be my guess.

Your turkey and cheese sandwich is dry, what do you put on it? Mayo and cucumber

You're being executed, what do you request for a last meal? My mama's cream chipped dried beef gravy on toast, with a Theo's frozen pizza, and a chocolate cake with fluffy peanut butter icning with a gallon of ice cream with chocolate covered pretzels smashed up and sprinkled over top on the side.  Then for dessert 5 Taco's, a can of refried beans smothered in cheese and sour cream, and to finish it all off....s'mores! 

If you had to eat at one fast food restaurant for breakfast, which would it be?  McDonalds....love the egg mcmuffins!

Your inlaws are coming for dinner, what do you make to impress them? My homemade chili and cornbread or my homemade Mac and cheese with bacon and homemade italian seasoned bread.

What food would you be very dissapointed if your grocery store stopped carrying? The huge juicy red delicious apples and the tropical flavored sugar free popsicles

You go grocery shopping, they dont have your brand of peanut butter, would you drive 20 minutes to get it, or buy the unhealthy version (if you eat the natural stuff)? I already do go drive 20 minutes further to get the PB I like!

How long does it take you to grocery shop? 2 Hours-I need to go too three different stores to find all the stuff I need for the week.

Best topping to spread on a bagel? Cream Cheese

Best thing to put on a pb sandwich (jelly, banana, honey, etc)? Jelly, cinnamon sugar, or marshmallow creme

Food you go through the fastest? Apples, cereal, milk, lettuce, cucumbers, parmesan cheese, salad dressing, chick peas, yogurt, sugar free popsicles

Youre at a restaurant and are splurging, eat more food or go for dessert? Eat dessert and then go back for more food!

One food you would make calorie free if you could? Ice Cream and cereal

Cook or be cooked for? Cook

Unpeel the banana and then eat it or peel as you eat? Unpeel and eat

Rip up lettuce and then wash it or wash it then rip it up? wash it then rip it up

Season meat and then throw it in the pan or put it in and then season? Put it in and then season

Best way to make a burger? Using 85/15 organic beef, patty them up, season with salt, pepper, and cayanne...grill to perfection (on a charcoal grill without lighter fluid to start the coals and throw in some hickory smoked wood chips) and top with american cheese.  Serve on a toasted bun with lettuce and ketchup on the side to dip it into.

Could you honestly eat chicken breast and broccoli for the rest of your life? NO WAY
