Prepping my breakfast, lunch and morning and afternoon snacks always works. Then I know how many carbs and calories I can have at dinner.

I like closing out my diary at night and it telling me what I may weigh in 5 weeks.

5'2 , currently 154. Would love to see 120.

1200 - TOM - I blew it with Dunkin donut munchkins. Needed chocolate. Those little things are 70 calories each.

Every day... and I use trendweight which syncs with my fitbit. It's easier to take the ups and downs when you see a trend. (which is downward)

LOL... Trust me. I though of that but have a long night ahead of me.

What's the surge vs. flex?

So... I have done about 5,600 steps today. It has added 232 calories to my set 1,200 I get for the day. So does that mean if I eat 1,432 calories I could still be on a track for losing? I feel any calories I get for my fitbit, should not be eaten. I'm afraid to eat back those calories as I am losing verrryyyyyy slowly.…

I like fitbit for all the reasons above and that it syncs easily with MFP and Map My Fitness Apps. A big PLUS is that I found a website where I can order any color wristband under the sun and can color coordinate with my outfits for real cheap!!

Same boat as you. I know what the problem is though. It's alot easier to count and weigh and be so diligent during the week (desk job). I guess it comes down to wanting it enough. I started 20 days ago, and keep doing what your doing. Every weekend that passes, I become more aware of what I'm doing wrong, own it and am…

I love shakes for meals, every once in a while. I will also add PB2 and a banana, but always count the calories, as the extra ingredients add to the protein. But like others said, if you do two shakes a day and small dinner, your likely not getting 1200 calories, which what everyone tells me should be the minimum.

Pirate Booty!! Quantity and crunch and taste!

AnnPT77 and SLLrunner - Thankyou... I have been very diligent in all suggestions since Monday. Feel ok. I know weighing ever day isn't the soundes idea, but also have started the trendtracker thing. It' too soon to tell, but I am working at it. Thanks again!

Yes! Going to Jamaica!

TRIMINO is awesome. It's flavored water with 7 grams of protein. Peach and Coconut Pineapple my favorite. Helps a bit with hunger and only 28 calories for entire bottle. Can only get in some stores, but Big Y and Geisslers (local store) carries it.

Connecticut

Thanks again!!! I will open my diary... I have been writing alot down. Trying to get it in for you all willing to help. Nordlead - Exactly how I feel.

LOL.. I knew I would open myself up to some criticism. But yes, when I eat meats or pasta I measure with a scale. Otherwise I tend to round up. 3 years ago I weighed 125. I am racking my brain to understand how I could do it then and not now.

Thanks all... I think I am envious of those who can lose at 1500.

hard boiled eggs edamame packs veggies and hummus kind bars fruit and yogurt Try to have a protein with each snack, will keep you full longer (well satisfied) I'm never full.

Love all the 5'2 stats I am 5'2 46 years... struggling with even making scale budge these past 3 weeks. I am 158 and 2 years ago was at 129. Loved it!!! My lowest 123. But that might have lasted just a couple of days. I am shooting for 125-130. I was a solid size 2-4. Now, I wear alot of elastic and grow with me clothes.…

I think if I had more of weightloss before this hit me, I would be in a better place. Lost 2.8, gain 3. Will have to give til end of week. Patience is not something I am good at.

Thanks ladies.... I really hope it swooshes off!!! Very discouraging after 3 weeks of logging and then bam!

Consign and good will to what they don't take. It takes a while to build up your account at a consignment shop, but most places let you hold on cashing out until it's a substantial amount.

Consign what you can and put the money towards new clothes. Donate the rest.

Sorry Serah

Sarah. I'm 46 and 5'2. How the heck can you eat that much and lose? Do you work out every day?

Omatga - Right on! thanks all.

30 lbs in 5 months? That is awesome. You started exactly where I am and are now exactly what I want to be at. Maybe people are jealous. You were very successful in what so many people fail at. Congrats! Take it as a compliment.

Weight Watchers has increased point values in some foods to account for your "free" fruit and vegetables. I agree with counting everything. I think MFP has salad or the like in 2 cup measurements. I dont' think anyone ever got truly fat eating vegetables, but it gives you a ball park and accountability. Plus a cup of…
