Thank you so much!! To answer your questions, I last checked my body fat about 5 lbs ago and I was at 22%. I have been lifting for maybe a month, a few times a week..but pretty minimally, the only thing I have been going hard on is the squats, which I do 50 slow and low squats with a 50 lb barbell and then 40 lb weighted…

Weekends aren't a failure for me, but I certainly don't lose any weight over the weekend! It's different for everyone, but I maintain a strict deficit Monday-Thursday and then I eat around maintenance Fri-Sun, sometimes going over, but because of my deficit throughout the week, I continuously lose an average of .6 lbs a…

I'm 5'5 (sorry, am I too tall for this? Lol) and my goal was 135, but I'm down to 137.5 now and I'm thinking I might push that to 130. Id be happy to be 130-135 and maintain that and focus on strength. I am on the slow track though, steadily losing 1/2-3/4 of a pound per week cause I like to eat!

Add me, my diary is open! 1230 a day and I sometimes eat back half or all of my exercise calories depending on my level of hunger! But most days I try to stick around 1300

I was in the Army and boy did I fall off the wagon when I got out! I was a PT stud when I was in, always scored over 300 on my tests and then I got out and got lazy! Well it doesn't take long for the body to lose all that strength and endurance! But if you're in the service or were, your advantage is that you know you can…

Hi I am 5'5 hope I make the cut! Add me I am always on here trying to help support and motivate and hope my friends do the same! My stats are SW 155 CW 140.5 GW 135. I generally eat 1400-1500 cals a day, which is 1250 plus about half my exercise calories, and on weekends I eat all my exercise calories back to keep me sane…

Hi! I will go ahead and send a friend request! I am also looking for friends for support and to keep me motivated. I am in the same boat as you - I carry my weight very proportionally, so at my starting weight I was 155 (I'm 5'5) and everyone thought I looked fine. But this is about our bodies and what we want! I just want…

Preach, sister!

I'm on 1200 too, but usually eat back half my exercise cals and I work out 6x a week so I'm usually around 1400-1500 weekdays then weekends I let myself eat back all my exercise cals. It's a slow process but I lose an average of a pound a week, sometimes only half a pound! My diaries open add me if you like!

I weigh myself almost daily, and if you wanna do that you can't let it bother you cause it will drive you crazy, weight will always go up and down. I hit a stall in my weight loss for 6 weeks actively trying to lose, and just this past 2 weeks the weight has been falling off again- I didn't change a thing. Look at the…

Thanks all, I appreciate the replies! The scale I used was one of those handheld machines that you enter all your info into and then hold down on the handles. I was afraid they might not be accurate.

I found it really hard at first too! Now I fill up on the following foods which are really low in calories and add them to my meals or as snacks to keep me full: Steamed veggies: usually 30-60 cals a cup Egg whites (you can add veg and make an omelette): usually around 15 cals Gnc whey protein chocolate: 100 cals a scoop…

So true, thank you!!!! That is just what I needed to see and hear. I am doing all the right things for my body and that more important than the scale any ways. And I would much rather weigh more but be toned and slim, you are right about that! I got all of this advice from you all and started feeling much better, so I…

Thank you all for the replies!! I really appreciate it and feel better about everything. I just need to keep working out and strength training and eating well. I will focus on my body measurements instead of the scale!

Thank you so much for the reply - I did not tape measure myself before but I will measure myself today and then again in a few weeks! As long as I am losing inches, I don't care if the scale isn't moving!

I am actually in a dilemma with my birth control. I have the implant and need it and plan to keep it because I am terrible at keeping docs appts and taking pills, so an implant is really the most effective way to ensure I do not get pregnant. That being said, I have had the implant for 6 weeks, before those six weeks, I…

Thank you so much!!! I am going to work on all of this starting today.

I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one!! I would like to be between 135-140 with good muscle tone. So I don't have far to go, but at this rate it feels like it will take forever. And you are right - both of you - we just have to keep going!! THanks!!

Thank you!! Starting today, I am going to be much more diligent in tracking my calories. The reason I have some weird entries is because I will add up the calories using the nutrition info on the food, and then I will just try to find something similar in myfitnesspal (egg example: I use fake eggs, which are 25cal a…

Hi all! Sorry, I didn't realize my diary was closed so I just figured out how to open it. I sometimes forget to add dinner after a long day so it is probably innacurate for the past few days but now that I'm looking for support and help I will definitely post everything I eat and exercise. As far as calorie counting, I try…
