Well, actually, no. I am very hard headed and it has taken me a long time to get out of that "the only way I can lose weight is very low calories" mindset. When I lost all the weight (96 lbs) in 2001-2002, my calories were very low. I didn't lift, only cardio. I was looking at pics the other day and found one of me at 130-131 pounds and I looked terrible. I am only shooting for 150-160. That is the range where I think I looked better and still felt great!! We'll see......

I have reformed, though, and will be zigzagging from now on!

And you are so right, we are all different, we must find what works for us.
