Intro. and Want to get the most of MFP

KaraJackman

Hi All, I have been using MyFitnessPal for over a year to track my food and exercise. I am not sure whether my weight is normal or not. I know I am happy with how I look in the mirror, but I hate the number on the scale. I am 5 feet tall. I weigh somewhere between 97-98 lbs. I gained 2 lbs over the holidays. I was around 95-96 and I am happiest around 95 lbs. I know this is crazy on a rational level, but emotionally it feels uncomfortable and that I weigh too much. I work hard to prepare my lunch for work each day. I make sure to do the best that I can with dinner each night. I always make time for exercise. I don't know whether to eat more or less? It has also been suggested that I go on an anti-candida diet for my really horrid constipation. I will be seeing a nutritionist on Jan. 20th to begin that diet regimen.

I don't know whether I am heavy or not for my height. I don't look it. The numbers on the scale are killing me. What do you think? Is 97-98 lb normal?

Oh and....
What is one way that you made the best use of Myfitnesspal?

Thanks,

And looking at your pic...your ear doesn't appear overweight

Hope this helped :huh:

Metropolitan life says

5'0" tall
103 small frame
120 medium frame
137 large frame

but they say your age should also be figured into it. :noway:

Good information. As is most likely it is all in my head. I still worry. Judging by your wagon you must be a fan of Oregon Trail.

LOVE Oregon trail...lol......but the wagon is actually a reminder for my friends and myself...if you fell of the diet "wagon" over the holidays....get "back on the wagon".....:blushing:
