September Goals Accountability Thread
Since a new month is nearly upon us, it's the perfect time to set a new challenge and achieve some goals! So this September I'm going to challenge myself to reach a goal weight by focusing on 3 things/habits I want to achieve, and I invite you to do the same! They don't have to be the same goals as mine so feel free to…

Shifting that last bit of tummy fat to help tone up
I'm trying to shift the last bit of tummy fat and tone up but I'm not sure the best place to start. What have people found seemed to work best? I'm not sure if I should shift that bit of abdominal fat first and then start toning or do both at the same time. Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated!

Thinning hair
If you’ve lost hair with weight loss and/or stress, has anything helped it regrow? I lost a few pounds kind of fast in the fall, and at the same time had some intense job stress. Now a few months later, I think my hair is thinning out and I’m wondering if I can help prevent more or help it regrow. I’m taking a multi, iron,…

Notice Birth Control More Now?
Ladies, mind you I’m only 5’4’’. I started Junel birth control when I weighed 146 pounds. Now I am at 122 pounds. I should also note the doctor has me on the pill continuously because of migraines. This month my chest has been so sore and I have felt bloated. In fact I felt like I did when I was pregnant with my two…

August Goals - Daily Check In
(Shamelessly stole this from one of the main forums - I'd rather do it in a smaller group - it's easier to find the thread and keep up with other people's progress to encourage them/discuss things. Thoughts?) Since a new month is nearly upon us, it's the perfect time to set a new challenge and achieve some goals! So this…

Losing boobs
So, the dreaded event has happend: my breast size (which was already modest to start with) has gone from 97cm (38,19in) to 92cm (36,22in). I mean, I get that it's impossible to only lose fat on certain parts of your body, but in comparison I'm losing more on my boobs than anywhere else! Waste has only dropped 3cm, and…

Recipes
Figured it could be nice to have a recipe thread going to share interesting, healthy, delicious recipes.

Lets talk about calories; Question for you at the end
A normal non-obese individual typically needs 25-30 kcal/kg/day. To lose 1 lb per week (not accounting for lean muscle mass increasing passive caloric burn) you need to be in a 500 kcal deficit every day. That math looks like (using my weight of 146.0 lbs for example purposes): 146.0 lb/2.2=66.4 kg 66.4 kg*25 = 1660…

The Moody Day Venting Thread
I know we all have "those" days sometimes - where we're just moody. There may be reasons for it, but chances are they aren't new. So, here's a place for us to vent and express what we are feeling so we can turn around and do what we need to do to stay on track rather than eating away our feelings!

Calculate body fat %
So, out of curiosity I tried to find trustworthy calculations to have a vague idea about my bodyfat %. Lots of different sites and methods to be found, yet all of them seem to overestimate me a lot. To explain: my BMI is about 21.6, which is nicely in the middle of what is considered a "healthy" weight. Furthermore, I'm…

Daily Caloric Consumption?
Just curious as to what most of you are using? MFP says I should stay under 1200 cal/day to meet my goals, but I've been doing a bit of research and wondering if I shouldn't be more in the 1400-1600 range. 42 yo 5'8" current weight 145.2 and goal weight of 133 - my high weight was 155 I'm moderately active - decent amount…

Before and After pictures
Hi, girls. I've only just stumbled across this group after months of bouncing around the Success Stories threads. I've found those incredibly motivational but I felt something of an imposter as someone with less to lose. So maybe this is a more appropriate platform to post my before and after pics from last month. I've…

Wanting to lose a little faster
Just feeling the need to share my feelings somewhere - I really am wanting to lose faster than I have been. I discovered over a year ago that a slow loss was far more sustainable (with fewer/smaller rebounds), but I'm really tired of still working on that last 20 pounds. I know what I need to do - eat less, move more -…

May the Fourth be With Us: May weigh-in and accountability thread
April was missed, so let's get back to regular tracking with a monthly thread. I was VERY bad over Easter. Far too much chocolate (thanks MIL) and just general grazing. Had some good sessions in the gym, and have been keeping my steps up, so my average daily calorie burn is consistently over 2400. Foot still suffering (I…

Anyone else addicted to the gym, in decent shape but just can't seem to stay on track with your food?
