Quote  |  Reply

Well, it is officially week 2 in maintenance and I believe I am up less than a pound eating 2100 and 2000 calories each week, depending on workout. I gained .2 this past week and .6 the week before. 

what do you think as far as my calorie range goes? i am 4'11 and at my goal weight. so, should i keep it at this intake or not?

the pictures on my profile are taken today...so let me know what you think!!

new swimsuit...first string bikini bottoms...not so sure how much i like them. :)

anyway, please leave any advice/comments/anything at all! I know I'm not FAT but I thought it would get more responses this way from the look of the similar post last week..lol. I know i'm terrible, fishing for replies. lol

congrats on reaching your goal, but if you're almost a foot taller than me isn't 129 still a bit low? why would you be trying to lose? i'm sure you're slim!! anywho, thanks for the compliments and i'm sure you look great yourself! :)

looking good!

i think we're probably similar proportions i'm 5'4-108 pounds and i maintain on about 2400 on days when i don't workout....days i do i range about 2900-3200...how active are you? do you do weights?

i'm pretty active though not as active as you, i think that's why i was able to only gain .2 pounds while eating an average of 2050 calories last week, so ideally, i can eat 1900 daily without gaining...i do cardio for about 45 minutes 5 days a week, pilates 15-25 minutes 2x a week, and weight training for 10 minutes 4x a week. I run 4 miles one day a week and I walk every day for at least 30 minutes total [to and form class and what not]. you are spot on about our bodies being about the same...do you have facebook? myspace? aim?

bump** i would really love others' opinions. i'm not obsessed, just a bit insecure still and trying to figure out how distorted my own views just might be. so opinions would help. i know i know, i shouldn't care what others think...but reality is that i do, so please don't be harsh and critical of my search for affirmation. :)
