Half year/ 2015 year update!!
Hi all 5 feeter ladies :) I've just discovered the "community" tab under my mobile app, and happily typing away this half year progress post. It's practically 6 months since the conception of this group and I can't thank the awesome MFP participants that I've met and kept me in check!! So during his MFP tracking period, my…
Calorie Goal??
Hi Ladies, Since we are all in similar boats in terms of height, weight, and goal weights, what do you all have your calories set at? I am in a constant debate of the lowest possible calories of 1200/day or closer to my BMR of 1350/day. I have read some posts where people believe going too low in calories is counter…
Goal and Motivation
This kind of topic gets posted often on /r/fitness and /r/xxfitness, but I thought we could have our own group one here. What's your goal and what motivates you to reach it? Goals: - Get down to 120ish - Look like a smaller, Asian version of Massiel Arias (instagram.com/mankofit) - Do cool poses from acro yoga Motivation:…
"Rules"
Hi all, To make this work, I'd like to encourage/enforce a few things: 1) Add each other as friends with Open-diary setting. Here's why: - My MFP mobile on my phone only shows newsfeed, and I can't access the wonderful forum that MFP website provides. But the newsfeed does show friend's status of so-and-so completed diary,…

New here, but it looks kind of dead?
Hi everyone! Stumbled on an old post on XX fitness and led me here. I exactly fit this group to a tee. 5'0 started end of june at 136, mfp at 134, and now I'm at 125 with a gw of 120. For the life of me I cant understand why i keep fluctuating between 125-127. I know calories and calories out. Lately, I've been feeling…
How is everyone doing?
This is sooooooo frustratingly slow for me! I've only lost 1 pound this month. I know that eating at a 200 calorie deficit doesn't allow for much loss per week, but it still feels like I should be making more progress. I'm being way more careful with weighing food, since estimating can blow that deficit away in no time.…
The Mathematics of Weightloss
Someone on /r/xxfitness posted this in response to a question today, I thought you might enjoy it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuIlsN32WaE "Eat Less. Move More. Keep Breathing."
Who to add as friends!
So, I'm trying to narrow down who to add as friends, if I add all of you I won't be able to keep track of my feed at all! I like to actually be able to encourage and engage with the friends on my feed, so I thought I'd maybe keep it down to 10 or 12 of you and see how that goes. I figure it can't hurt to have things in…
Apps & Exercising!
Hey all! Here I consolidate a list of exercise/app that I like and use regularly. Shout out to Katnisseverduh who inspired me to make this consolidated list, which are absolutely just my opinion. Also, here's a better edited posts http://redd.it/2c6wck TL;DR- Don't know how to start? Download the first three apps and GO!…
Fitness social media?
Hey all! I was wondering if you guys had fitness accounts on other sites and wanted to add/follow each other? I just started a fitness insta: http://instagram.com/annalifting fitness tumblr: http://annalifting.tumblr.com/
Great "feets" of strength for 5 feeters [Post July 4th]
With the holiday weekend behind us (and many cookouts galore), I hear a lot of guilt-talk about what was consumed (myself included with all the sour gummy worms). Don't feel bummed! Keep it a once in awhile thing and enjoy yourselves. Let's get back on track and celebrate the victories now. Share your recent…
Weight lifting and calories
Hi ladies, For those of you who lift how do you find the right amount of calories to eat? I started taking my training seriously a few months ago and have hit some major benchmarks since then (going to hit 200lbs for my deadlift soon!!!) but I kept my old eating habits. When I told my trainer I was eating about 1200…
Nutrition Philosophy
I thought we could have discussion about our personal nutrition philosophies! Are you a clean eater? Do you follow iifym? Paleo? Keto? Are you just trying to work on hitting your caloric goal and don't really have a direction otherwise? Personally, I think my philosophy leans closer to iifym (if it fits your macros...even…
Do any of you do strength training?
Hey guys! I try to do some sort of strength exercise like 5x a week + running a mile each of those days, with 1 day a week set to some HIIT and another day of just rest. Are any of you also doing strength? This is the first full month I've done it and I've definitely seen changes in my body and have maybe lost like half a…
