Jessica, that is really sweet. I know I don't NEED to lose weight, but I just know I was smaller before, and I want to be smaller again. I am 5'8 and 145 lbs. I used to be 5'8 and 125 lbs, but I've filled out since then (hips, chest, and I finally grew a butt lol!) I want to be around 135 though. Even a smidge under 140 I'd be happy with. I am worried though that the weight I lose will be chest and butt!

Gayle, I will try to cut down to 1200 calories.

I normally just snack on fruits and veggies during the day. I'm eating my lunch right now and it's just slices of carrots, celery, and a fat-free yogurt. I try to make healthy food for supper, even if it's just swapping things out in normally unhealthy meals lol... last night was tacos but we used extra-lean gound beef, lots of veggies, low-fat sour cream, and whole wheat tortillas. I ate less than I normally do.

No matter what the scale says, I am still feeling healthier than I did before. I think maybe I should stop looking at the scale every day.
