I go up and down. I'm 5"10" ( this is where you tell me to stop being you again!) and I'm currently at about 190. My ideal weight is between 155-60, which is between 11 and 12 stone, a measuremtn more popular here but not used in the US. I was at 170 and going down last summer but gave myself a pass for my holiday (which I totally don't regret) and then just didn't get back into the gym habit as hard as I was going at it before I went. Typical.

I'm back at the gym now and being quite strict. I'm not worried about it too much because I know I can lose it and I'll get there.

"I absolutely HATE people that can eat anything they want, and not gain a f*cking pound. I look at something good, and gain 3 lbs". Ok, now it's my turn - STOP being me!!

You really need to get over your cole slaw prejudice. It's 2012, for god's sake! Do you have Kentucky Fried Chicken there? If you don't like their slaw, well, there's something WRONG with you!

Okay, we're working with the same body, here. I was up to 215, 4 years ago. Got a slight handle on it, and got down to about 180. Then got REALLY motivated 2.5 years ago, and got all the way down to about 138(yes, I had constant questions about if I was dying). But I like being skinny, even if my body doesn't want to be that way. This body WANTS to weigh about 190. I want it to weigh about 140. Lifelong, never ending, constant battle. I was 150.0 this morning. But even the 12 lbs that I've gained...I can feel it on me. I can feel my cheeks getting bigger(and F*CK that- I've got a big head anyway, and I finally fired it, and it's NOT coming back). I felt better when I was 140. I LOVE feeling thin, and I actually like being hungry, during the daytime.
I was telling a chubby friend of mine, that I'd gained 10 lbs since Thanksgiving, and he said, "what, are you up to 120 now?" But the thing is - I've never completely gotten rid of my beer gut, even at 140. Now stop being me, because we both know that's probably NEVER going to happen!

I've already decided that today is going to be meatless. I'm thinking veggie stirfry, super spicy, to make up for the lack of meat taste.

Stone? That's your measurement there? How many pounds is a stone?

I hate exercise, and I'm probably most proud, that I did my weight loss, without ONE IOTA of exercise! Never lifted a finger! Just good old fashioned starvation!
