Hmmm, indeed. You didn't say this "someone" was a friend. Hmmm.

Barmymoo:
Well, a friend and also the college welfare officer ironically! But not someone who particularly knows about my diet and certainly not about my problems with food, so not culpable.

I weighed in this morning and I've lost about a pound. It's tricky to know because I've been weighing in kilos, and for the last two weigh-ins I just rounded up or down. Then I realised that 1 kilo was several pounds, so the reason the numbers were not changing was because I wasn't recording them accurately. I think last week I was on 65.4kg though, and this week I'm on 64.9kg, so that's about a pound.

Redball:
I'm at 177, with what I think must be a 20-pound potbelly, so somewhere south of 160 would be grand.
The gift of ice cream reminds me that friends find it easy to dismiss attempts to lose weight. "What do you need to do that for? You look fine!" I assume it's threatening.
And a last thought: You're aware that the U.S. is the last major holdout against metric conversion, although it creeps into our manufacture, hardware, repair. I'm OK with grams, kg, cm, meters and km, less so with hectares. Are you saying you use a home scale measuring in pounds but weigh in, say, at a clinic on a metric scale? I assume at your age that you're quite comfortable thinking in metric measures. More so than in feet and pounds?
My country is so damn backward in that arrogance. And we'd be worse if we didn't export and import.

I gained most of my weight from the munchies and from buying whatever was on sale/cheap/free with coupons in mass quantities without reading much of the nutrition info. I've gotten muuuuch better, thankfully. One of the perils of shopping with coupons- if you get it for 10 cents, you buy 8 of them.  :-P

I tend to gain everywhere, which is a blessing and a curse. It's great in the sense that I don't end up with one large section when all the rest are small, but it sucks in the sense that as soon as I put on anything more than 10 pounds from my ideal weight, Voila! Double Chin.

I'd really like to lose 30-40 pounds (or about 13-18 kg. Thanks Google! I'm one of those people who suck at conversions, even if it's not in metric). I know that the "recommended" weight for someone my height it a little higher, but that's the range when I feel really good- I'm content with what I look like but I'm not so skinny that people start to assume I have an eating disorder.

Linds- Those Peanut Butter Cheerios are awesome. Have you tried the Dulce de Leche yet? They're pretty good too :-) Twizzlers are a godsend haha. No fat either!

Lines:
I haven't! But the Banana Nut and Cinnamon ones are both good as well. Mixing the Peanut Butter and Banana Nut is also very good.
