[quote=Anonymous]I'm 5'1 or 5'2" and want to weigh 125. 5 more pounds to go! I'm always going to have a big butt and thighs (and I like that, and I'm pretty strong at squats and similar exercises and can hike really well) but that's a weight where I feel good.

For me, exercise is not the primary determinant of my weight--I've weighed very little when exercising very little, weighed a lot and run regularly, and vice versa. I still exercise, but more for muscle development and cardiovascular health and because going to the gym makes me feel happier and gives me something to do.

For me, what helps is:

* drinking lots of water and tea (some coffee and diet soda too, I'm not a saint)
* stopping snacking before 10pm and not eating breakfast until 10am
* lots of fruit and veg for snacks, and bringing healthy snacks to work so I don't go to the CVS and buy chips
* a good amount of protein, including some meat and meat substitutes like soy and seitan, plus eggs and nuts and beans
* AVOIDING RESTAURANT FOOD. I am better off buying some treats at the grocery store (and not bringing home stuff I can't trust myself to be reasonable with) and cooking a mixture of healthy and less healthy items than I am going out to eat. The portions are huge, I have limited impulse control, and even things like salads have a lot of fat and salt at restaurants.
