I only lift twice a week and bike around 3 times. 1330 was my base but with cardio I would always eat more cause I'd add those calories back in. But I think 1500 as a minimum base is probably a better goal. I'm starting to see small changes. I have also looked into IF in which I'd eat the amount of calories I need, just in…

@pyrusangeles @Anna28518 thanks for the replies. I figured protein might be a factor and definitely need to up how much of that I'm eating and more often too! Probably up the calorie limit a bit too.

Happy with this. Had one day where I ate over 2,600 calories, so glad I didnt go up from that. Also changed my height to 5'4" after measuring myself first time in years. Might have to adjust my calories and goals not sure yet. Height: 5'4" Ultimate goal: 115 May SW: 127.6 May Goal: 124-122 May 1: 127.6 May 8: 124 May 15:…

Not surprised at all I went up after the 8th, actually expected more, especially today since I started my period yesterday. I think I must have had a lot of water weight with my starting weight this month. Hoping for a solid 124 on the 22nd.

That would suck lol I think maybe the phrase I should have used from the beginning was "more defined thighs" instead of slimming? I will try to lift at a deficit to lose 3-5 more pounds and cross my fingers the fat will come off a bit more from my thighs. Thank you for the kind comments.

Thanks gals! Yea I guess I do just need to accept that my thighs are gonna be big. I think maybe I won't go for 10 pounds but maybe 3-5 more, re-evaluate again and then start incorporating more lifting rather than cardio maybe. I just chose 10 cause I'd still be in the healthy range for my BMI, just on the lower end.

Stepped on and off the scale about 10 times already. Even changed the battery. Sunday I ate more than I have in a long time because of a party, so I did an OMAD Monday to compensate and ate around 1400 yesterday and went to the gym and here we are! Every month I always get lower than average weights for like one to two…

It's been awhile since I've been on here. Gained and lost again. I want to finally reach my goal weight. It's been really hard to lose weight since hitting 130 so hoping strict calorie counting will help.

I'm american so had to convert stones and all that but 5'8" 10 stone 3 is equal to like 143 pounds/21.7 bmi. That's light but still a normal bmi so I think this site is fine for you. But you shouldn't go by what someone determines an "ideal weight" anyway, our body compositions are all different, you might look really thin…

So I'm grateful for the solid 135 today. Gonna try…

Height: 5'5" HW: 156 CW: 137.6 March Goal: 134 Ultimate Goal Weight: 125ish Kind of frustrated with my end of month weight. Been trying to stick to 1,200 while also doing yoga, body weight workouts, and biking. I didn't get a scale til about mid Feb so I don't know what I started with in the beginning but I really thought…

Ugh too tight skinny jeans are the worst. When I really put my mind and energy to it I can lose the weight I now know. Keeping it off might be the next big challange. Here's to us getting back to happy weights and staying there! Lol!

Thats funny, isnt it usually the opposite? In grad school you gain weight? I know in college thats what happened to me, stress and junk food. And I know! I got rid of all my clothes when I was 156 so things are a bit tighter. Good motivation haha! Sticking to the right calories is always the challenge for me.

Wasn't a great start to December with a weekend in Austin eating a lot of junk foods. I want to work extra hard these coming weeks (cutting/strength & cardio 6x/week) and hope to maintain and not gain after my xmas vaca week back home. 5'5" HW: 156 Last weigh in : 133 12/10/16: 12/17/16: 12/24/16: 12/31/16: GW (130)

Height: 5'5" HW: 156 November 11: 134 November 25: 133 (been hovering around 132.5 to 133 this week!) UGW: 125 Looks like I'm on track to get to 130, at least, by Xmas. I plan on eating a lot when I fly back home so working extra hard these weeks leading up to that. :)

Thanks all! And yay for finding some twins! Congrats @hrod215 on your weight loss as well !! I'm not sure how I'd look either but I'm hoping for slimmer thighs mainly. I lift weights too so I'm hoping for my muscles to be more defined.

Height: 5'5" CW: 134 HW: 156 GW(November 11): 134 (met this goal exactly! So proud!) GW(November 25): 133 UGW: 125 I've set a new mini goal to be 128 by Christmas time. That's when I get to fly back home and visit friends and family for a week. I want to look good and also let loose and eat a bunch of junk during that…

Muffins! I got a 4 pack of chocolate chip muffins awhile ago. Thought it'd be a nice treat. Read the nutritional values after I ate one and saw it was 600 calories!!! That'd be half my calories if I was still on 1,200. It was just so shocking! And peanut butter haha, I'd eat those by the spoonful before. Thank god for…

Similar goals! 5'5", 135 aiming for 115-120.

I try to find low calorie alternatives to indulge the sweet tooth during the week. So maybe rice cakes, or I'll mix cocoa powder with pb2, or an apple with a bit of caramel (low calorie if you can find some) and then a bunch of water in between to keep ya full. That helps me soooometimes haha.

I'm 5'5" 135.4 haha, and trying to get down to 120. Been having a bit of trouble with eating too much, now that I have more stamina to work out more. But it's still sloooowly coming off. Add me if you like.

I'm ready for November! Had a bunch of binges last month. Weighed myself last night and I was 135.4 when my goal was 133 so I'm gonna work hard this month. Height: 5'5" CW: 135.4 GW(November 11): 134 GW(November 25): 133 UGW: 120

Mine is fitting into a pair of floral jeans I have. I can put them on but with a little weight loss in my thighs I know they'll look cute. I've got them hanging next to my desk to remind me everyday of my little goal.

Haha I must admit I had a very bad slip up Friday that all started with pizza brought to work. It was a downward spiral from then that I tried to combat with lots of exercise and carrots the next day. I am trying to start anew again this week and hopefully it doesn't affect my weigh in on the 1st of November.

Yea, there were days when I was younger and unaware of the importance of calories I'd eat a whole cake or tub of icing. But now that I count I know that each cookie I eat is 130 calories and each slice of pizza is 300 and each spoonful of pb is 100 and that alone is almost a third of my daily allotment but I can't stop so…

Gotcha. Is just a lot for me when every calorie counts. Makes me feel like I'm setting myself way back.

Does exercising after a binge negate the calories you ate equally? I had a bad binge the other day (over 1500 calories) and walked a bunch the next morning then went to the gym and did about an hour half hiit on treadmill, weights, plus cut my calories that day by about half. It makes me feel relieved that I am burning off…

Nuts are my weakness! So many calories in just a handful. Before I was calorie counting I used to shovel them in my mouth with no care. Cashews and peanuts especially. So delicious!! It's so good and important to bring snacks on the go. I have snacks in my purse, my car, my desk, everywhere! In case of "emergencies" lol Do…

My first pic was mixed veggies and tuna for breakfast. Not a very pretty setup lol but I thought it was pretty healthy. That's the jar I drink water out of. It used to be a peanut butter jar. It's pretty big haha and I try to drink two when I'm home. One in the morn and one at night. Then drink water bottles at work. And…
