Anyone Short and over 50?
I am 55, 5 ft tall and new to MFP. I have weighed as much as 180lbs when I was in my early 20's. Aging brings its own set of issues, multiply that with being short. All of my old weight management tactics are no longer working so I joined MFP to learn something new but I need help. I empathize with those with more to lose…
How many calories do you shorties eat?
Hey Shorties, I'm 5'2" and MFP set me to 1200 calories a day, but i don't lose very much weight or if i do its very very slowly eating this number of cals.... I tried the whole eat more to lose more but that doesn't work for me either, i just gain weight. I was wondering if any of you eat less than the recommended 1200?…
Is this an active group?
Is anyone still on here???? Doesn't seem to be much posting.
Hi. New here!
Hi! My name is Sara. I am almost 32, a wife, a mother of an almost 9 year old and a 6 year old. I am getting back to living a healthy lifestyle now that I realized that if I don't do something soon I could be putting my health at risk. I find it difficult to keep up with my kids and have realized that I have been shrinking…
So happy to have found this group!
It's good to know this isn't the land of the Tall people....there are short people out there (I'm 4'2) :smile:
How many calories do you need to maintain?
I am feeling sorry for myself tonight. I've been working hard, and seeing results (finally, after a three year plateau/gain cycle!). I should be feeling great! But I've realized that when I get to my goal, I'm still not going to be able to eat much! Welcome to my pity party! So, what will all of you smaller people need to…
5 feet tall progress with pics
I am so inspired by all the befores and afters of larger folks, folks who have much more than I to lose. Also you are taller and the progress you make is so very clear. But, I have to admit, I want to see more from people like me - shorter and losing less but just as significant a challenge. I expect that many of you who…
Carbs, protein, and fat ratios?
I'm struggling with what is the right ratio for me. 90g of carbs is just so low, but I haven't lost any weight since May! I've been bouncing between 1 pound lost/gain. Thinking of cutting down on carbs to help boost weight loss, but I workout 6x/weeek, sometimes twice a day, and am worried of exhaustian. Plus, I'm way…
