I am trying to lose weight and tone up i'm about 118 now started at 121 and my goal is 105 and I'm a little under 5'2. I have been really good with my diet high protein, low calorie, and balancing all the food groups. It is really hard to lose smaller amounts of weight. I know its only been a few weeks...and there is…

I find it boring as well...I just stare at the numbers the whole time. I'm going to take tennis back up, at least that is an exercise that is fun!

I personally find that most people do it to be trendy...I was told at work to consider "vegan" as a food allergy...its not an allergy its a lifestyle choice. I also have known quite a few people who claimed to be vegan but ate dairy and seafood products. "I don't eat milk products i'm vegan" well guess what right now you…

wheatgrass juice or matcha green tea work for me... caffeine gives me a headache. We also sell 3G energy boosts at my work in the drinks which have green tea and guarana extract in them

But I don't even like cookies or sweets >_< Not in the last 10 years at least. My taste buds just changed I guess with age.

I am also curious about this and was going to post a discussion about it myself, so I hope people reply. From what I have learned at my job and people who are nutritional gurus, is that protein takes longer in the body to digest and consuming high amounts of it without working out to build muscle will turn to fat? Protein…

thanks, that is what I originally was thinking because that is what I have to do with my Juices and smoothies at Jamba...(I work there but make my own crazy concoctions and just find one on the database that's kinda similar to what I made so I can at least get an estimate) Guess I was just being finicky when I typed in…

I'm in! I've been experimenting with some really tasty, healthy recipes lately. feel free to add me if you want to swap :)

I really don't think MFP is accurate... When I start my cool down on the treadmill at a brisk walk for 10-15 minutes its only about 50 cals on the machine (monitoring my heart rate) but MFP tries to say 84-100 lol that would be nice. I'm thinking the most accurate would be a fit bit though.

same. I have a very round face and I used to hate it, even a ton of weight loss just made me look like I had a big head on a small body. I even looked into having my cheeks shaved like Hillary duff did or having my jaw broken and re-aligned. As I've gotten older it has started to thin out some... plus not drinking alcohol…

get a measuring tape! I'm in the same boat and was getting frustrated until I started logging my measurements (waist, hips, bust, butt, arms and thighs) the scale still says the same but I've been losing inches everywhere.

I want a twin! feel free to add me:) age:28 height: 5'1 3/4 (lets call it 5'2) small frame HW: 135 CW:120 GW: 100-105 Just need to lose 10-15lbs... extra pounds do not suit my tiny stature.

Nope Christine... just really small framed and petite. Average healthy weight is 91-110 for my stature. ( I'm actually a little under 5'2) Just trying to shed a little extra weight I gained. It doesn't look good on me. 1200 is what this site recommended for my goal...another one had me at 850. oh and Anorexia is consuming…

Drink when you're thirsty, that's all that's important. 8 glasses a day is a myth started by the water bottling industry in the 40s: It's a habit. It started because of the cotton mouth side effect of stimulants and now it's like an OCD thing. As for the booze...I suddenly have 0 desire for it. Maybe the new meds? And even…

*just made it public* if anyone can take a looksee and see what I need more/less of :)

I will see that I make it public. I'm at about 1,000 today for sodium. I try and stay away from it but the Trileptal I am on actually lowers the levels and I have to be cautious of consuming enough of it.

Thanks so much for replying merry! Actually the main reason I got back on myfitness was because I remembered it had a food diary. My boyfriend had suggested (after hearing me whine) that I should start keeping track of my calories. I have been weighing everything and cutting down serving sizes. I do have to say when I…
