I met and trumped your nap challenge. Went to bed at 2:30 got up at 6!!!!!! . don't even feel guilty cause I just got through cycling SIXTEEN MILES! )) total to date 81.4! Oh, yeah!

Now why did you have to go and mention cupcakes???

Interesting take on men versus women. http://www.everydayhealth.com/weight/men-and-weight-loss.aspx?pos=1&xid=nl_EverydayHealthWomensHealth_20131020

Super awesome!!

Are you saying you were sleeved almost a year ago and have only lost 19 lbs? Have you had follow ups w Dr? This does not sound right. Even a slow loser I feel would have lost more. Are you sure there is not a medical issue? How much are u able to eat?

Okay, broke down and bought recumbent bike today. Decent. Not high end. Between walking and cycling. 8.5 today. Gives me 65.4 total. I have arisen. Here's the pic and you will notice the pillow! You won't believe this. My rump is so bony I'm to the point of doubling over a pillow and sitting with my tailbone "hanging" off the pillow! dear. Lord.

You are a troublemaker!!! )). I'm going to ride my NEW recumbent bike now and catch up on another thread results (100 mile challenge) instead. Bahahaha THEN I'm going to eat a Fiber One 90 cal bar!!

Where is "here?" It's gorgeous!!!

All the time! Sometimes I allow myself a small treat if it's something special but all myself "off the ledge" 95% of the time. As Lynda said, I like "me" and after regaining below goal weight, I'm not LEAVING!!'

Y'alllll! I've been craving cake for DAYS!! Do we have to talk about cupcakes??? . Now, I really want to go eat one! Make mine wedding cake with cream cheese icing, please. I deserve it. I've been really good.

M2G, I cannot imagine snow THIS early and it continuing through March???? I like snow. I would time that much time with it! Ha!

Brown, don't lose hope! I know you say you are not THAT woman! As CGJ said, all body types are different. But just know that many, including Feed Your Eye, Coops, M2G, and others have never reached goal. They are close now and WILL but many were in very long term stalls or had gained upwards of 25-30 pounds since their lowest. Yes, I did reach goal very easily the FIRST TIME. Then I relaxed, fell into bad eating habits of junk and I'll be honest, it was not until I was facing a close to 30 pound weight gain that I truly got scared. I tried low carb for several months with no success and if you look back at posts from me around March or so of last year I truly sounded just like you! It was not until I hit on 5:2 that I found an answer for ME. And I kicked it around for about a month or so before really committing. The. I hit it with vengeance. It HAS to be if you really want something I feel really sure you will find what works for you. I would ask that you REALLY commit to 5:2 for another few weeks. And REALLY HIT IT HARD. What I found is that I had to drastically cut my feast day carbs and cals as well to KEEP the weight lost and move further down. Our bodies are metabolically altered and we cannot eat like others. That's what I think anyway All said to say, I believe in you! I know you want to be HEALTHY first and sexy second! . Go after it!!!!!
