5'4, 125 down from 165. I eat everything I did before, and I have always loved working out. Calorie counting has absoultely changed my life. FR me if you like!

I'm 5'4, 125 lbs. I started at 165, and have been maintaining 125 since April. I run about 25-30 miles a week on average, and I take currently take 1 ballet class a week. I definately need to do more strength training, but it's hard for me to get motivated to do that in the summertime because I love running outdoors. I net…

I so wish I had taken before photos! I don't have any full-body pictures from when I was heavier. I'm 5'4, 28 years old and went from 165 pounds to 128 pounds in a little over 8 months. Would like to lower my body fat % a bit more but overall I'm thrilled with how I look!

Peanut butter puffins! So good, and I'm not usually a fan of cereal becasuse I don't like cow's milk. I like them with almond milk, vanilla coconut milk, or dry. They come in varities other than peanut butter but in my opinon PB is best. My husband likes cows milk and says they're great with that too.

The laughing cow spreadable cheeses that come in the wheels are only 35 calories and are delicious. I spread them on Kame seaweed rice crackers, which are 110 calories for 16 crackers. I also like popcorn, cut up veggies, pretzels with spicy mustard and hershey's kisses. I get way hungrier at my desk than I do running…

Thank you all! I feel much better, I think I just needed to talk through it and my husband is not into fitness and just tells me I look great (which is nice, and I do!)

This popped into my head during the assessment as I've seen it before. I look like the 25% picture. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks. Yeah, generally I'm not emotional and pretty outspoken. I just truly froze in that particular moment. I agree that communication is key. I appreciate your feedback!

I'm sure spending that much money to get an accurate reading wouldn't be worth it for me. I do take photos, and my clothes have gotten smaller. Everything has been going so well, I think I just saw that jump in the number and freaked a bit. Many thanks to everyone for talking me through it! I did love the lifting portion…

Thank you. I'm 28. My doctor says I'm fine, wanting to get to 125 is for vanity reasons. I'm trying not to focus too much on the number, more how I feel. I think I just ended up with too many numbers thrown at me tonight.

I think that was a scare tactic that worked in the moment, and makes no sense now that I think about it.

I feel and look great! I just wasn't expecting to see that number, I'm not sure why it caused me to feel the way that I do. I'm not generally an overly emotional person so I was surprised at myself. Honestly, I think I was wondering about the accuracy of the hand-held body fat calculators and gave an unnecessary backstory.…

I realize I'm being somewhat ridiculous. I've been using the bf reading on my digital scale in terms of a downward trend, because I had heard it might be inaccurate. I obviously knew I hadn't gained 4% body fat since this morning, but seeing the number (and the fact that it's in the "risk" zone according to the trainer)…

I've never posted on a thread before but have gained a lot of great (and entertaining!) information from reading. I've used MFP very infrequently in the last 5 years. I started losing weight 2 years ago for my wedding, lost 10 pounds, felt great, looked great. I did this by cutting out all dairy products and exercising…
