[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you really are at a healthy weight.  You’re going to have to be pretty extreme to get back to your old weight.  Are you really willing to live that way?
I decided I am not.  I aim to eat 5-9 full servings of fruit and vegetable per day and if I do that I will allow myself other treats.  I don’t drink or consume empty calories like soda but I’m not giving up pasta a couple times a week and an occasional home made dessert or good ice cream.  I figure with all those vegetables and fruit I am pretty healthy and I walk a lot.  I’m not letting the scale bother me.[/quote]

OP, I am about your size ... always around 115 until I had my kids, then 120, and now, in menopause, I'm around 125.

But I have some reasons for not dieting and trying to do what this PP suggests. Mostly, I don't want to diet in front of my teenage daughter.

I am trying to lift weights more often, and I have cut back on alcohol. I wasn't a big drinker anyway. But I notice that when I go a few days without it, my abs seem a little tighter and I feel a little lighter. I'd love to get back to 120[/quote]
