Hmm. What to say? Well, I'm in the unique position of being a single mom of 3...a 16 year old, a 17 year old, and a 3 month old. I've struggled with an eating disorder off and on since I was pregnant with my 16 year old, so I have to watch myself so that I don't fall into bad habits.

I hurt my knee and had to have surgery, then after months of recovery time for that, I fell off of a Ripstik (think skateboard, only with the words "death trap" tattooed on the side) and broke my elbow, tore my cartilage in my shoulder, and sprained my wrist. After those two workout destroyers, and tons of global travel for work, I was up about 40 pounds. I dropped 25 (admittedly, some of that was NOT healthy loss) and then found out I was (shockingly) pregnant and had to be on bed rest for months. Fortunately, I only gained about 12 pounds with my pregnancy though and am now 2 lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight. So 13 pounds and a ton of toning to go! I'm using my daughter's 16th bday cruise as my motivation. We leave July 21st, and I want to feel GOOD in a bikini. :)

Diet Soda's - Do they slow you down?
LOL. No. Diet drinks don't stall weight loss. I use them as an appetite suppressant, and they are awesome. I easily drink a 12 pack a day and it makes no difference to my weight loss, other than that when I stop drinking them, I start eating instead and put on a ton. I've been drinking Diet Coke like this for probably 20 years, including the times when I was at my worst as an anorexic.

The other really nice thing about diet drinks and anything with artificial sweeteners is that they make sugary things taste not so sweet. It's no fun to eat chocolate when it tastes bland, so I just don't bother.

There's a lot of hype around artificial sweeteners not being "natural", however if you eat anything from your local grocery store, you will find that MOST things you eat aren't natural, and haven't been for years.

Height/Weight/Size
Very interesting stuff.
I'm 5'10" and 157 (gag) now. I seem to be a pretty consistent size 6 at the moment and a small in shirts. Bust- 34C Waist- Not sure right now because I just had a baby 3 mos ago and am not mentally prepared to see a big number. My usual measurement is between 24 and 26. Hips- also haven't measured lately. Usually anywhere from 34-38.

Clothes.....Yes it's a 5 miniute frustrated rant! :(
KSttride, I think I've noticed the opposite about sizes. I'm currently 13 pounds heavier than I was in high school, yet the size I wore then is too big. It's bizarre. I just assumed that it was vanity sizing in action.

I'll second the NY and Co and add Victoria's Secret. My problem is that I'm tall (5'10"Wink so nothing is ever cut right. Victoria's Secret and NY and Co both have great tall clothes and seem to cater to different dimensions better than a lot of other brands.
