wow it is telling me at my height i should have a 25" waist... I think I was that waist size when I had an ED! I would be happy to get to around 27.5-28 again!

Hi, I found this post in a search... I just found out today that I have low levels of vitamin D3, and to take a 2,000 unit/day supplement. I have to say that I do struggle with weight loss even when I'm really diligent about watching what I'm eating, so not sure if this is related at all. I originally went for bloodwork at my OB GYN because I thought maybe my thyroid was out of whack and it may have been causing my inability to lose weight and my short cycles, but apparently it is normal.  I would be interested to know if the supplements matter- vitamin D3 vs D?

Hi all, I went on the scale this morning and at one point it read 152.9 then 10 minutes later was 152 even, so I am going to say I'm at 152.5 which is about a 2 lb loss I think from last time. Although I don't know how because I have been bad about tracking lately and have allowed myself several treats. I have also been having lots of stomach issues lately :( so that could be why I lost weight without much effort this week. Good luck to all!

CW: 152.5

GW: 130

I think genetics does play a big role, well I think for me at least. I gain weight very easily and it takes me a long time to lose it. I can diet and be constantly good during the week, and I won't see 2 lb losses each week. If i have a slip up day (say, if I go to a family party and eat something other than grilled chicken and veggies) then I'm up 2 lbs. It's really frustrating! At my lowest weight I was eating very, very little calories. and it was nearly impossible to maintain. So, I would just be happy being in a mid range of a normal BMI if I could ever get back there again.

I did have a childhood friend that was always very skinny and she is still skinny today. But we used to snack on the same stuff and yet I was always the chubby kid haha.

All my husband has to do to lose weight is stop eating donuts as his snack. he did this for a week and lost 7 lbs. Meanwhile i am good all week and lose .5 lbs.. grr!

I usually end up eating around 1600... I don't know if this is bad though, because CC recommends approx 1460 for me to lose weight. I would love some insight from those more experienced! I am 5'4" around 155 looking to get to 130. For exercise I mostly walk during the week on my lunch break at work and on weekends I'll do a more intense workout dvd or run.

I was on it for a month then canceled to save the money, it is kinda pricey and I would just go to weigh in and not stay for the meetings (i stayed for 2 meetings and thought it was the same whining each time). I did lose weight so it works in that sense that you have to measure/weigh everything but you can do the same for CC. I also found that I may have been undereating by eating my daily points only because once I upped my calories I lost more. One week I remember I was really discouraged because I felt like I was starving myself all week and only lost .4 lbs.

i will let myself have a cheat treat every once in a while... last week it was more like a cheat day, I had a family party, there was an ice cream bar... weakness..! but, i tried to keep myself on track for the rest of the week.

Hi, I am down 1.1 lbs as of this morning. I don't know if it should have been more, but I did have a cheat day last Sunday, and I also ran this weekend (which, I haven't done in a while) so I feel like it could be water retention too (my muscles are really sore).
