Small Success (big milestone)
I know this isn't a huge success compared to many other mfp's but today I finally...FINALLY weighed under 140. I'm 139.8 lbs. After 8 months of struggling to keep from binging and stay with it, that 3 is the best milestone yet. SW 153 GW 135 CW139.8. I know its only .2lbs under but when I looked down at the scale I almost…

Suggestions for food/exercise?
I'm Niki. I'm 19 years old, will be 20 come this December. I roughly weigh 100lbs, though I've had scales (and the Wii Fit) tell me I weigh anywhere from 92-110lbs. I've got a small body build, but lately I've noticed how much excess fat my body is storing, giving me a pooch when I sit down. I'm trying to tone my stomach…

Is sweating this much unhealthy?!
The other day at the gym, I literally lost 4.5 lbs of sweat running on the treadmill for 60 minutes...roughly 6% of my body weight. Weighed before and after with the same sweaty clothes. I also drank about 16-20 oz of water while exercising. The gym is a little humid, and the number of bodies make it kind of warm, but not…

Anyone with about 15-20 pounds to lose?
So I am not currently considered overweight, but I know for a fact that I am not at my ideal weight which is 115. I have gained weight over the past few months and am currently somewhere around 130-135. Although I want to get to my ideal weight the shape of my body and how my clothes fit is much more important, especially…

Is it just me? or am I losing weight?
Hello All! I'm 5'5'' and my goal is 140lb. I started at 155 and now 148 but no one seems to see it but me. I've been doing weight watchers for almost two months now.

Harder to lose with less to lose
I feel that with the less weight you have to lose the harder it becomes to lose it. Don't get me wrong I deeply respect the achievements of everyone's weight loss but, consider this: My current weight today is 125 and my BMR is 1306. In order to cut additional calories, my calorie goal a day is 1200. With this limit I cut…

The last 10 pounds - is 2 pounds a week too much?
Hi girls! I'm 18 and wanting to shift the 10 or so pounds sitting on my hips and stomach. The rest of me is quite toned and I have no qualms about those parts, I exercise vigorously 3x a week and take my dog for a walk (on which I plan to start powerwalking) everyday. Myfitnesspal had the option of 1pound, 1.5 or 2 pounds…

Any Londoner's on here?
Hey guys, I downloaded the app a few weeks ago, and I find the app makes the cutting down calories, only eating healthy stuff quite easy for me. The bit I struggle with is pushing myself hard enough to get toned. I used to be 48kg 3 years ago, but post uni, after starting work, and sitting at a desk all day that has now…

Seems too easy? Please advise!
I am on a goal of 1200 calories per day, but I seem to be managing this too well - it doesn't seem like I'm eating any less, just cutting out the little treats I used to have? Is this normal? Iv been doing a 40 minute walk everyday since starting (the whole 3 days!) but I know I need to do some more strenuous work (aiming…

Significant Others
Hey everyone! This looks like a great group. I have avoided joining these groups in the past because I'm pretty fit, but don't want to make someone with 100lbs on me feel bad when I mention that I ran 5 miles today or am having a hard time with those last couple pounds. Speaking of those last couple pounds -- does anyone…

Hip Growth
When gaining weight due to exercise, can it be weight gain anywhere? I've noticed that my hips and thighs have grown since starting P90X. Is it due to squatting with open hips? I've danced a lot in my lifetime, so I have more hip flexibility. Is there anyway for it to go away? I have always been on the thinner side in the…

Looking for new friends <3
I've been on MFP since February but had only been using the app on my smartphone - had NO idea there were blogs, groups, message boards and so much more. I loved MFP before and now I reaaaaally love it. Looking for new friends on here as my friends don't use this nor are interested in eating well and getting in shape. I…

Anyone else stuck around 130?!
Hello all! I'm new to the group (but not to MFP), currently the wrong side of 130 and have 115 as my goal. Just over 5'5" but with a tiny frame so I don't carry the weight well :-( I also have PCOS so it's even more important for me to get lean. I tried 'eat more to weigh less' but it didn't work for me - so I'm back to…
