[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That was a big cheat meal OP. In all honesty most women of your age who want to be thin eat much less. [/quote]

Eat much less than 1300 calories with a larger meal every couple of months?  Really?[/quote]

OP, you are coming across as a not reliable narrator. 1300 calories minus a glass of wine is 1000-1100 calories. Very few 5’6” woman can regularly eat this and work out hard and be at 155. I suspect you have more frequent “cheats” than your OP claims. [/quote]

This is OP. I eat more than 1300 calories when I am trying to maintain weight loss. That is what I eat when I am trying to lose weight. But if seems like I can’t eat more than 1300 calories ever if I want to maintain because the weight just creeps back up. I don’t know how many calories I am eating when not in diet mode since I don’t want to log food for the rest of my life if I don’t have to.[/quote]

Eat normally and cut out just one thing- fried food, 1 daily snack (or cut your portion in half or replace it with something healthier), 1.5 glass of wine instead of 2, 12 ounces of smoothie instead of 16, medium Starbucks instead of large (add an extra shot if you need the caffeine), add a salad instead of large lunch 3 days a week or add a cup of soup and split your daily lunch portion in half, no snacks after 7pm-whatever it is you know you will cut a few calories from your regular that you can maintain. Do it for 3 months before you weigh in next. In 3 months if you haven’t lost or maintained then cut/replace something else.

Don’t beat yourself up over 5 pounds, it’s not that serious.[/quote]
