This is definitely something I want to work on! My mind is becoming too consumed with the scale! Because my athletic performance, strength and happiness is pretty high right now. I need to get back to measurements instead. I can tell though that I've gotten heavier because I've gone up a size in shirts and bottoms,…

this! This is so true. I've unfollowed a few fitness influencers because what they posted seemed so false. I currently now only follow 3 people but still have a question mark on one of them.

Thanks for sharing!!! I do think I need to actually try to work on shoving the number mentality out of my brain and worry more about my body physically. I'm the strongest I've ever been, have had a few PR's in the last couple weeks, and am doing better cardio wise than I have in a while. I guess wondering what other…

I have a fitbit Versa and I walk about 10-15,000 steps on my work days and burn around 2200 calories. On my off days I only burn around 1700 calories, but I do go to the gym and weight lift every day! I think a lot of this is extra energy expenditure on my workdays as well as stress. I still want to kick it all to the curb!

I definitely have to figure out how to cope in healthy ways. I don't WANT to eat like this at all, my body is just automatically telling myself to eat and eat... and I hate it. I do need to figure out how to make my mind stop this current way of coping.

Signed letter by who??? Management??

Nurse here!! Add me!!! I need support through fitness and eating because it can definitely be hard at times to manage it all!

Thank y'all so much for the kind words :))

Thank you!! :) Last year I was eating around 1200-1500 calories before solely focusing on weights and stopping cardio. I now eat around 1900-2000 calories give or take depending on how much I burn at work or during my workout! I increased it because I felt very weak and my joints were hurting while weight lifting and…

My enamel was clearly affected from drinking soda. I've been drinking it a couple of times a week for a few years because it is obviously my drink of choice over water. After noticing my enamel disappearing, I am now completely trying to cut it out of my diet for the sake of my teeth. That's just my two cents. I'll never…

Give it some time :) I didn't 'see' progress for about 3 months! I'm now 6 months into working out and I've DRASTICALLY changed!!! Not only do i look different but i feel so healthy and LOVE being active!!

Oooo okay!!! I’ll check it out :smiley:

I’m 5’7 :smiley:

I am 5’7! :)

I'm struggling with the scale.... It still makes me feel upset sometimes but I'm learning to appreciate the changes I see in the mirror!!!

Okay I'm about to go to walmart and buy a scale now!!! I've been pushing it off for so long!!

I can finally do 5!!!! (don't laugh) LOL. I'm 137 pounds. By no means am I weak, but I've never been able to do a chin up-so I made a goal to do 1, then 2, and so on. My next goal is 10. Pull-ups is another story.... my goal is still 1 lol

I definitely stopped doing the 1200 calorie count that MFP gave me. I was starving and had no energy to exercise these past 4 months. I was also developing a bad relationship with food because I was so restricted with my choices to stay in 1200 calories. I also learned I was slowing my metabolism down and was not doing…

MEEE

GOALS!!! I want to know your workout plan??? Lol!!!!!

I'm so glad to actually find someone with the same stats as me!!! I'm also 5'7 and currently 136. About 2 years ago I weighed 125 and that was not manageable at all. I was skinny with no muscle and not eating enough. I'm super content now with my weight but wanted to know other people in similar situations!!! I'm trying to…

I have patellafemoral syndrome and it's been one hell of a ride..... I struggle with exercising through the pain on most days and really focus on weight training to strengthen my knees, it's really helped so far. The cartilage in my left knee is deteriorating and makes it worse sometimes. I'm only 21 years old and was told…

Fitbit VERSA!!!!!! It's AMAZING. I upgraded form the Charge HR and I love it. It's waterproof, has soooo many little awesome gadgets and is super accurate towards working out and steps. Battery lasts 5 days and even will notify you when it's time to charge :) It also has app notifications for your phone! It's the best…

Donkey Kicks, glute extensions on cable machine, single-leg deadlifts, and squats (activating those glutes from bottom to the top!!) seem to all do the trick for me :) Make sure you squeeze and progress will show!! I like the hip raises as well!

Me!!! It feels so good - exercise high!! I’m on week 9 now and I’m still obsessed! Working out is a habit and I love it. For my workouts I usually get them off of Pinterest !

Tomorrow is my birthday so I’m really going to celebrate with foods I haven’t had in 2 months!!! Donuts for breakfast, Whataburger for lunch, Tex-mex fajitas for dinner, and cake for dessert and you’re darn right I’m not going to log any of it!! “Cheat days” are well deserved and I’ll log it (maybe I won’t log it) and move…

Texasss!!!!!

Peanut butter.... had a spoonful because I was craving it and that led to eating one more spoonful..... 500 calories :( ALL WASTED !!

I do!!! I'm 137ish (fluctuates every day so I'm not sure what I really am!) and am DYING to get back to the 125 area!! I was 125 before nursing school and want to get back lol. Nice seeing someone with similar goals!!!
