Hello All,

I'm a horseback rider and hiker from the American Southwest looking for some extra motivation to get to my maintenance weight. I have been working my way down from 132lbs to 110lbs for a couple of years. During that time I have learned that I can't just go by portion size; I have to count calories or I start to gain! Lately I have been losing about a half pound a week.

5'2"
400 cal restriction
1100 cal a day
MPF thinks I burn 1500/day, but fitbit thinks ~1400 (hence the only half pound a week loss when MFP thinks I should loss .8)

Howdy!

    Welcome and request sent. Yeah MFP calcs are way off for me too. I use bodymedia fit and thank goodness its more accurate than this. Down 30lbs so far and still rolling. Lets get you moving too. Also if anyone else looking for some active FitWarriors to build up your support group. Swing by the FitFam Friday Free-4-All (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1196811-fitfam-friday-free-4-all) and start adding friends who are ready and willing to offer you motivation, laughs, an attentive ear and support.

    I'm 4'11," 103 lbs. I like to have petite friends since us shorties have some unique challenges and concerns. You can add me if you like, or you can just check out my food fairs if you want ideas. . I eat pretty boring though.

    I'm 5ft 2' and looking for some fitness pals. I need motivation and encouragement to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 56kg. I am hoping to lose 1lb a week. I am currently doing Insanity and hope that that will help. Feel free to add me as a friend, but only if you can motivate and inspire. I will of course return the favour.
