all kidding aside , I have the opposite problem , It is almost impossible for me to gain wieght. im 6'4 and wiegh about 160 on a good day ,the most ive ever been was 175 . i have to eat like a horse all winter just to gain 10 lb.s which i will lose in a few weeks when the weather gets warm. (construction) a few years back i had dental surgery in late winter, couldn't eat much for 6 weeks, didn't put on any wieght , went down to 145 that summer and have never gotten back to 170. the few female friends i have are jeolous of me cause i can eat a whole truck load of little debbies and not put on an ounce. people say i should drink beer but i hate hangovers and don't like spending all day in the bathroom. the only fat on me is 'tween my ears. sigh , i Wish i was at 175.
Dave, my husband's the same way. He's 6'1" and 145. He wears size 28/34 jeans. I challenge anyone here to try and find jeans that size! The funny thing is, he had lost some weight (yes, it's possible), but when I went on my diet, he gained a few pounds! I think because it forced him to eat healthier. At one point I actually got him to break 150, but that was the point where I was at my heaviest as well.
Isn't the Herbalife diet the one where you only eat the things they send you? There's no way I could do that! Like I said before, if I'm told I can't eat something, the first thing I want to do is eat it!
when i was younger i wore 32-36 , good luck on that one lol . now that im older and have "settled " im 32-34 , which is still a challenge to find , foretunetly with the warmer winters here i can get by with 2-3 pair . it just takes a while for me to remember where i put them last spring .
I take the weekends off, this way i can have Pizza on Saturday night or Sunday dinner with the family withought feeling guilty.
But i am extremely boring during the week. I bring my breakfast and lunch to work most of the time.
For breakfast I have a cup of dry cereal, like cherrios (i munch on them through the morning) with a lowfat yogurt.
For lunch i usually have a turkey pita with lettuce and mustard and baby carrots. (sometimes i have melba toast rounds with my lunch 5 crackers is like 60 calories)
Dinner during the week is usually chicken or Pork - grilled or baked with vegetables and either rice or a baked potatoe (regular or sweet) my secret is that i make lots of vegetables. I'll make a lb of broccoli for 2 people. If i am really hungry i make a little salad to eat while dinner is cooking.
The big trick is to stay away from fast food. It is evil. Even the salads are evil. The Wendy's salad's are the bomb but some of them have as much fat as a cheeseburger. I truly wish there was a good healthy fast food restaurant with a drive through. you could pop in get a nice 100 calorie snack or 400-500 calorie meal and not have to worry. that is my dream should i ever win the powerball... i would open my own fast food chain with healthy food. There are people in my office who eat fast food every day... it is so unhealthy.
