  • It's hard to say - I'm 5'3" - at my peak 6 years ago, I weighed 117 (doing half marathons and p90x) - my current goal is just 125, I've had two kids and work full time.. So I don't REALLY need to/intend to get back below 125.. But I'm at 128 now. Sooooo close, yet so far. Once I hit 132 is when the scale all but stopped…

  • I don't eat back exercise calories. I eat 1350 solid. I count EVERYTHING, obsessively. If my 2 year old feeds me 4 goldfish crackers, I log it. I burn nearly 100 cals a mile when I run - Sunday - ran 10 miles =1000 exercise Monday - Jillian Michaels 30 day shred (level 3) Tuesday - ran 6 miles and did JM level 3 Wednesday…

  • I'm 37 and a mommy to a 5 year old girl and 2 year old boy. It's REALLY hard to make time for myself. I focus SO much on my work and my family- that I leave myself on the back burner. I found myself spiraling into depression as I tried to take care of everyone around me.. Finally, I got some help- refocused on ME a bit and…

  • I know EXACTLY what you mean. It's so hard to be the ONE dieting, when no one else is. To be the one who knows how easy it is to hit 1200 cals - many people just have no concept. As hard as it is, try to just focus on yourself. Carve out 10% of your cals to be a treat food- I know that helps me stay sane when I'm watching…

  • It's now been a month. 136, still. I tried bumping my calories up to 1400-1600 for a few days then dropped back down to 1200 -and still nothing. I can't imagine bumping my calories for "weeks", it seems like that would just make me start gaining weight back. I keep hearing "there's no REAL starvation mode- so if that's the…

  • I'm 5'2". I eat 1200 a day. I only eat back up to 300 cals on my major excercise days (when I run 7-12 miles - burning 700-1200 cals) and I have not lost an ounce in a month now. I want to give up.
