[quote=Anonymous]I'm 5'7" and my happy weight is 135. If I go any lower, I look gaunt, anything over 145 and I feel too puffy. I keep within that range by 1. Sleeping 8 hours a night (doesn't always happen, but it really helps) 2. NO alcohol. This makes a huge difference. Once in a while I'll have a glass of wine, but if I start having a regular glass or two, I start gaining weight fast. That, and I get migraines, so it's a double whammy for me. 3. I drink lots of water. 4. I eat lightly, and very little processed food. I like to cook and we eat a lot of vegetarian or organic lean poultry/red meat. 5. I eat very little sugar or desserts. Other than that, I'm pretty active, walk a lot, etc, but don't diet, or restrict myself (except for alcohol). And there are no "off limits" foods. The real trick for me seems to be sugar and alcohol.
