HR - Help!
Can we talk about HR? There are different formulas out there. The most recent one I read for calculating peak HR for women is 206 - (0.88 x age). According to this my peak should be 176. During cardio workouts my HR is like 185 bpm for about 30 minutes of the 1 hour. Is this bad? I’m trying to get fit; not give myself a…

Mom for a year: 125 lb - 135 lbs
So I had my baby almost 18 months ago. I am having a hard time working off the last 10 or so pounds from after she was born.

Non-Scale Victories!
Hello :) I thought we could share some positivity by talking about our NSVs. They can be recent or in the distant past, as long as they are happy! A recent one for me was putting on an old pair of shorts that were too tight even when I bought them. They were a little loose! I almost always feel too self conscious to wear…

Hi Everyone! I'm the Newbie Boobie!
Hey Ladies! I'm new here and I am also a new "not that heavy girl". I'm a runner and a recovering "binge eater" and now I'm down to 2 lbs or so of what I would think would be a good number, but I don't put much stock in what the scale tells me, more what the tape and my clothes tell me. I'm a runner, but lately, (okay, the…

Feeling disheartened
Not new to mfp, have been a member for years. Lost around 40lbs 2-3 years ago, put it on gradually again and started losing it again from Feb this year. I am doing well but... I'm very disheartened and sad this morning. The past few weeks (almost 2 months now?) have been incredibly difficult with this hot & humid weather…

Back up sizes
Even though I’ve only dropped about 10lbs, it has resulted in dropping 2 sizes. The clothes I wanted to lose weight to fit back into are now too big. They weren’t ‘large’ clothes to start with, and I had a pretty nice collection too, so now I’m trying to figure out what to do with them. When there’s only a 5lb difference…

Dinner ideas
Hello girls! I had bowel surgery a few weeks ago and lost a few kilos during recuperation as my system adjusted and my diet was limited to very simple food (low fiber, low fat). Also not exercising has helped keep my appetite at bay as I've more or less been sitting around for 5 weeks resting! Now I'm beginning to feel…

When you hit goal...
What is the one (somewhat silly) thing you’re going to allow yourself to do when you make it to your goal? Or what’s the reward you’ve promised yourself for that end point? I’m going to wear a crop top in public (silly, I know, but definitely a mark of feeling comfortable in my skin).

New to this group
Hi! This is not my first time using MFP but my first time in the group. I'm 29, have 2 boys: 3.5 years old and (almost) 9 months. A busy lifestyle, always on the go, and a husband who works a lot or is on the go with us. The last time I was committed to MFP was when my youngest turned 1 (ish), and our lives were one kid…

Introduce myself
I'm 30, I have 3 kids (5, 3, and 11 months) and when my smallest LO was 6 months I realized I'd gained too much and needed to get fitter, for myself and my kids. I've been going to the gym and lifting moderately heavy weights since February. In April I started logging my calories and eating better, and started a newer…

Where do you shop?
Anyone else having trouble finding smaller-sized clothing? I've gone from a US 12 to a US 2 in pants and I just can't find anything that fits me anymore. :cry: All of my work slacks are hanging on me to the point that even my super oblivious boyfriend commented that I look like a kid playing dress up. I'm happy to have…

Tall girl trying to look less big and more slim
Does anybody struggle with tall girl problems? “Oh you’re so big” or “amazon woman”. This is the first time, I am really trying to eat for me and my health and work out not just for a bikini. Although, I would like to be long and lean and not get thicker. I have done CrossFit for 6months and ate healthy, but I wound up…

Recomp success stories?
I haven’t posted in a while. I’m a great maintainer, suck at keeping a big deficit, but I’m happy with my weight and size. I got back under pre-preg weight and size and now I just want to lose a little more fat. So I decided to recomp, keep a tiny deficit and lean out. I had some great results in the first 9 months but…

Cardio: Steady State vs. HIIT
I am wondering about everyone's experience regarding Steady State vs. HIIT. To be honest, I hate doing HIIT but I have been doing 3 days of steady state followed by 2 days of HIIT for about 3 months and I don't think I see any significant difference in my fat loss. In the end, I think fat loss probably has more to do with…

Is it really possible?
I need to know. Is it really possible for anyone to get a super lean, tight, hard body? I've been "skinny fat" all my life. Slim-ish, but never a flat stomach, never low enough fat to have muscles showing. Nothing like the instagram girls I admire, even when I have lost weight down to 120lbs and even when I was…

Anyone one just wake up and find that they are blobby?
For years, I worked out an hour a day, maintained an 18%ish bodyfat. In the last year, I took it all for granted and started to slack off with tracking and working out. Now, I'm up over 25% bodyfat, and parts of me jiggle when I walk. I just needed to 1) vent 2) kick myself on MFP and 3) ask if anyone has gone from fit to…
