I apologize for missing weigh in, team. We got a puppy and life has been busy. You'll be glad to know I'm down a pound though, so hopefully this week will be good! |

Yeah, that's cool. I bought a real jump rope and got discouraged to find I was so out of shape. Now it's part of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and I love it, even without the rope! |

You can also save your $80 and jump up and down while moving your arms in a jumping rope motion...works just as well, is just as hard, and it's free. |

| Tash- I too am a curvy girl who carries weight well, and I commend you for wanting to be a weight your comfortable at. I definitely don't want to lose my curves either. Back when I got down to 140 doing Atkins I did look sick, but I also lost weight in a terrible way. I think getting there in a healthy manner might be a good look for me. 170 may be a good look for you. It isn't for me, curves and all. Whatever works. I think that's what we all want. It's less about charts and more about what's healthy. Best of luck to you on your journey. Keep up the confidence and keep your curves, they are a wonderful thing to have, aren't they? :)
Fayeonherway- No where did I say that I think that people are making excuses because they don't want to fit into some magical single digit dress. I said that many people make excuses about BMI because they don't want to admit to themselves that they are, in fact, overweight or obese. If someone is comfortable with their body being overweight, then that is perfectly fine. Some overweight people are much healthier than people who are of "normal weight." And of course, BMI doesn't take into account muscle mass, but let's be honest with ourselves, many of the people on here are not 50 pounds overweight due to muscle mass. I think you'd be in denial to think that many people who are overweight aren't in denial. For me, one of the first steps to a successful weightloss (and I'm not all the way there yet) was admitting that yeah, I'm fat, yeah, I'm still bangin', but no, this isn't as healthy or attractive as I could be. |

I'm also 5'6, weigh 156 pounds, and am larged frame (my wrist too, is 7" around, not that that means anything) and I am by no means sickly looking. My waist is about 30 inches, hips are 40, but my waist is always the smallest on me. I've never been up to 216 but I'd imagine I would haven't been too far off from where you are, give or take. I'm not necessarily directing this at you, but sometimes I think that people use the whole "BMI is stupid, I would look sick at ____" argument as a rationalization or a way to make themselves feel better about being overweight. When I was 186 pounds I did the same thing. As stated above, BMI offers a range for people from small frames to large frames. My personal goal is about 140. Basically, you're never going to know if it's "too skinny" until you get there. Set reasonable small goals and keep going from there. Don't dwell on BMI, but don't dismiss it in order to excuse being overweight, either. |

I'm waiting until tomorrow, but I'm just below my starting weight as of now due to a change in routine (doing the 30DayShred for 30 days) and TOM coming soon. Hopefully I'll be down a bit more tomorrow! |

TEAM PINK Week 0. 5/5-5/7: 160.8 Sorry team, I went on vacation this weekend and it was an alcohol junk food lack of exercise trip. I picked it back up though so hopefully next week will be better! I saw 156 right before I left. |

Came in at 158.6 today for a loss of 2.2lbs!!! It's kind of frustrating, because I seem to gain water weight when I exercise and it never goes away. Maybe I don't eat enough when I do more intense exercise. I'm thinking about taking it easy and just walking and see if the weight still comes off. |

| Weight Loss | Question in regards to my calorie deficit requirements | May 11 2009 20:16 (UTC) |

You have to decide what works best for you. You can have up to a 1000 cal deficit, which is best if it's a combo of diet and exercise (eat 500 less, exercise 500 more) which I think is what you're asking. That way you aren't too hungry or too tired. There are tons of ways to mix and match it though! Let's say you don't want to lose weight so aggressively. You could eat 500 cals less than maintainance and not workout. Or you could exercise and burn 500 more and eat at maintainance if you weren't working out. Or you could eat 250 less and burn 250 more, and so on and so forth up until a 1000 cal deficit. Does this make sense? Now, based on your recommendations, it looks like you're doing it just fine. You are eating more when you work out to create a rougly 500 cal deficit and when you don't work out you eat less to create the same deficit. Don't worry. :) |

My waist. I love how much of a curve I have before you reach my hips! My legs are nice, I like how thick my thighs are. My boobs are my most famous possession. And I like my face. :) |

Couch to 5k is an excellent program for building up to your goal. As for other fitness, I love Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred as well as her other DVDs. I suggest you look into those! |

Thanks for the replies everyone! I think I will trust it for now, and see how it goes. Plateaus stink. |

Wow, I pretty much disagree with everything poster #17 said. You will benefit from any level of workout. Nutrigrain bars hold the nutritional equivalent of a Snickers bar. Pasta, especially whole grain pasta is good for you. Ummmm. Wow. Eat more, burn more calories than you take in (but not too much more) and you should lose weight. |

I have roughly the same stats as you (5'6", 159lbs, female) and I eat 1300-1500 cals a day during the week. I sometimes eat 1600, and once a week I eat around 2000. I don't think 1300 cals is bad per se, but I wouldn't recommend it everyday. I just try to eat an average of 1500, which is my BMR. Also, if you just started working out, you could be retaining water and building muscle, so take that into account as well. Although I'm at a plateau weight-wise (so maybe ignore my advice haha), I've been firming up and losing inches with my heavier workout routine and hope that the pounds will come off again soon! Good luck to you.

| Weight Loss | A decent, cheap scale? | Apr 22 2009 18:06 (UTC) |

I got a Healthometer digital one from Walmart for 20-30 bucks, I don't remember. It's pretty consistent for me, the only thing is you need to make sure it's even and on a flat surface or you will get some variation. |

| Weight Loss | Jeans that fit my huge athletic thighs? | Apr 09 2009 18:36 (UTC) |

If you want higher end jeans, I agree with Joe's Jeans, etc. If you want something a little more affordable, I'm always a fan of Levi's stretch. My ultimate favorite jeans right now lie between the two and they are BDG jeans from Urban Outfitters. They're about 60 bucks a pair. |

I say go for it as long as you're eating something during your lunch break too. |
