Weighin 160.0 I found when I first started calorie counting I dropped the first five pounds really quickly, and then I evened out. So we'll see how this goes. I'm already losing! |

Allright...my last post was the first of march. And well, not counting calories didn't work so well for me. I am now married :) but all the stress + honeymoon + snacking and having more food available means that I am now over 160. *sigh (I was 150 last time I checked in). So I'm back to losing 15 pounds, this time my husband's joining me (he made it up to 190 with everything that went on). Its good to see/hear from everyone again, and expect weekly updates from me :) Michelle |

| Foods | any one else LOVE the health benifits of fats? | Apr 01 2009 19:25 (UTC) |

Original Post by bubbles556: mono and poly unsaturated fats are good for you because they contain cis double bonds which bend the long carbon chain and make the fat molecules not able to pack tightly. Saturated fats are completely hydrogenated so they have no double bonds and are straight which means they pack well and can be solid at room temperature. A trans fat means that the fat molecules have at least one double bond that is trans instead of cis, this causes the fat molecule to kink but mainly stay straight, which turns out to be a very bad combination for your body. Since the very word trans means theres a double bond, trans fats must be mono or poly unsaturated. Hope that clears things up :) |

heh I'm a 34DDD and I've just decided that most people don't carry that size, its annoying, and I don't lose weight there, but my mom certainly does, so it depends on the person for sure |

I just turned 21 last week...so we'll see how this alcohol thing goes for me, I don't think it will be too bad but I did get a six pack of Bacardi silver strawberry (YUM!) for the heck of it, It to expensive for me to do regularly though! |

Original Post by jenningermany: If you thought those were huge paragraphs I wonder if you have ever read a book? I don't think the problem is her writing style, so if you can't read the post then don't respond. I'd go with moving in with your mom and visiting your Dad when he is actually home. That seems to be a lot more worthwhile than sitting in his empty home while he is gone when you could be spending more time with your mom. Plus, that might make him realize that he is distancing you with buying certian food and not being around, which in turn could enoucrage him to clean up his pantries and spend more time with you :) |

While I'm not against a store selling to a smaller clientel (and by some of the posts such stores are obviously needed) i do wish the people who shopped at such stores realized that bigger sizes don't necessarily make a person "fat". In high school I had a bunch of short really thin Asian friends who all liked to shop at such stores and I felt so out of place because at 5' 10" and 160 ish pounds i simply could not fit into any of their clothes even though I wasn't fat. Further, in one store while looking for a size 13 jean another customer pulled out a pair of jeans and said to her boyfriend "13! what elephant wears that!" I can't tell you how much that hurts a 15 year-old's self-image and I never shopped at that store again, not because I didn't like the clothing, simply because I didn't like their clientel. I think it would be good if such stores had a few more larger sizes so that groups of friends of different sizes could still shop together and the small, and the large(r, usually meaning taller and curvier) people wouldn't be left out. |

I'm a biology major and sugar certainly isn't toxic...its one of the most necessary chemicals in life. Even if you don't eat "sugar" your body works very hard to convert whatever you do eat into glucose (sugar) because that is what your body needs to make the energy that sustains you. far from being toxic sugar is good for you. If you eat to much your body converts it to fat to store...but in moderation sugar can be very good for you and not toxic at all. |

Well I know I'm not doing na amazing job with my diet. I doubt I'm eating 1500-1600 calories, more liek 17-1800. But since I don't have a date set that I need to lose the weight by its ok, its just coming off a bit more slowly. But I'm down to 149.6! so less than five pounds left till I hit my goal weight!

Update: I saw 150.0 for the first time yesteday! so i've lost 10 pounds and onto my last five. I was pretty excited because I hadn't dropped at all for amonth. But I'm eating smaller portions now and it appears to be paying off. I'm hoping to have the last five off by christmas, but we'll see :) |

Hey guys, I've fallen off the wagon, I'm up to 153 (from 151.2) which I know isn't a ton but I'm more jsut frustrated that I've been fluctuating between 151 and 153 for about a month and now I'm fluctuating more at the top end of that range. Which means I'm no longer losing weight which I think is due to the fact that I haven't been logging my food, I'm in college and we eat pizza, and there was halloween. So this is a little bit of a rant but more trying to use you guys to stay accountable and become motivated again to eat less (cause I like eating more SOOOO much better). I really like the weight I'm at (I would still like another 5-7 pounds off). So I don't want to gain my weight back. Ok, well that was my rant, thanks for listening, Michelle |

Weigh in: 154... :( I don't get how I've gaind two pounds in a week...and I really don't think I've eaten over maintenance. I haven't had a god week cause I've been sick and TTOM so I havnet been counting even though I know I should. But my weight shot up to the 153-154 range and has just stayed there for the past few days. I don't know what I did but I don't even want to log my weight right now...

Will I lose weight if I eat the same food over and over?
You can lose weight despite eating the same food day-after-day as long as you eat fewer calories than you burn. In fact, eating the... Read more
