I work in an office where they are at LEAST twice my age, and....one of them really REALLY doesn't know computer stuff. Well, any time her program is slow, she asks "Is anyone else's computer slow?" I want to wring her neck!! The program being slow is tied to your computer, and your computer alone!! If you were asking if…

I'm agreeing with the consensus here. Losing weight is 100% 'diet' (restricting calories, though technically you can eat anything you want..just in small amounts. At least, that's what I'm starting with until I've lost more weight. I have 130 lb to lose, and I plan to wean myself into a healthier diet. Just recently I…

Well this is wonderful. :/ I have just recently gotten a Fitbit (yesterday), and now there is literally no interaction from fitbit to myfitnesspal..

A normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 100. I'm 253 lb (5'4), and my resting heart rate is around 80. However, each person is different, and yours very well could be 90. Now, the 190 does sound weird if you were only checking emails. A reset couldn't hurt anything. Edit: Well now I don't know what to think. I got…

I started my weight loss a week and a half ago. I struggled to pull off 7 min straight on the elliptical on resistance 2. Yesterday, I did 36 minutes on resistance 3 without stopping! It feels fantastic!

Eish!! Your poor boobs! (When I got the wrong size, I was smooshing mine in an H, and oh god the pain) I'm in a 46I on this bra. It works well. There's only slight squish, but not enough to make me uncomfortable. An I is better than an H!…

:'( Many cries. I have a Lane Bryant in town, but it only stocks up to the 44H. I'll just have to wait until my size inevitably shrinks to shop there.

I ate half a bag of white chocolate covered pretzels (about 3-4 oz maybe) and wend over my budget probably 600 calories. I'm eating smaller today to compensate u.u

xD I'm sure that's fun for your nips. ________ Though, I am worried what my bust will do as I lose weight. I'm currently 46I, and the last size I can remember when I was within 40lb of a normal weight was a SomethingDDDD. I could Just barely find bras in the store. Now I special order things. >.>

I really like Hummus with Baked Pretzels once in a while, but I can't find my favorite hummus anymore. I got it at Aldis, and it was a delicious spicy cilantro hummus. Nowadays I do cottage cheese with wheat thins.

I saw this link elsewhere in one of these threads, but check out this link. At the top right, search "5'3/" (without the quotation marks). On the next screen, click limit my search to /r/progresspics. Original site: https://www.reddit.com/r/progresspics/ Site with the 5'3 search:…

Hm, I am 5'4, 253 lb, and to lose 2 lb a week, mfp's calculator set me at 1,370 calories per day. These are my settings. I placed exercise as zero, because the calculator will add calories based off my exercises anyway. I eat some of them back, but not all of them.

You're allowed your own opinion.

Oh my god this. I have self-esteem issues, spanning from when I was a kid (and I was a super skinny kid. I just had childhood acne and became the butt of people's jokes at school. Didn't make any friends because of it). My boyfriend is also overweight, though not as much as me. The topic comes up sometimes, and I tell him…

@279270 Well, how much are you trying to lose? Are you exercising often? If you're going to the gym, then you could be swapping fat for muscle, which weighs more.

Assuming you're getting just a normal cheesburger, then yes. There's more volume to the meat. Plus, it's healthier because there aren't any additives or preservatives that go into McDonalds Cheeseburgers.

I'm sure you could just simmer it over the stove. The only reason you need the crock pot is to melt the cheese. Velveeta is a block of cheese that you buy. It's not refrigerated until after you open it. It comes in different kinds. I used Jalapeno Velveeta. It did all of the flavoring for me in the meat. (so no need for…

I've never heard of this. Does it work if you're on a Treadmill/Elliptical, or only when you're running outside?

Not all the time. I'm too afraid of eating over. I don't have a fitness tracker, and the machines clearly state their counter might not be accurate. I don't know how many calories I'm burning. I log the strength training, but it doesn't calculate any calories when I do so. As for the cardio, so far I just use Elliptical…

=3 I made the Crockpot Cheeseburgers listed somewhere on here. Sadly it's high in calories because I couldn't afford the leaner meat this month, but it is so delicious.

I hear you. Months ago, I could easily eat an entire frozen pizza by myself. Now, if I let myself go to town, the most I can eat is 5 pieces. If it's takeout pizza, probably even less (unless it's super delicious because it's the taste that makes me eat more, not the hunger :( ) You'll get there. You just have to start…

So much of this. I would never stick to this if I did a 360 and completely changed my diet. Since starting to lose weight, I have added a few things here and there. There's this premade steamer that has lightly sauced macaroni and cheese with broccoli (a lot of broccoli too) that I use as a side. I never used to eat…

@surfergirl2017 It's okay to not worry about macros right now. Eat what you want within your calorie restriction. I'm 254 lb (the google conversion puts that at 18.1429 stone) with 130 lbs (converted at 9.28571 stone) to lose. I'm going to the gym every day (except Sunday). I'm doing strength/resistance training every…

I'm not sure 12 lb is enough to tone you the way you want. My personal trainer made a plan for me to lose 130 lb and tone up while I'm at it. Basically, when you're using a resistance machine, you should be doing 3 repetitions of 10-12. If you can easily do 12 lb 10-12 per set, then you need to increase the weight. There…

Well that's not a nice thing to say. I mean, different things work for different people. We're not clones of each other. I don't count calories that the machine shows me. I dock off a lot of what it shows me, and just log that. I might be losing more. Who knows. I sometimes eat the calories back. Usually in the form of a…

@bexilashious It sounds like you go to a local gym. Do they offer a personal trainer for members? If so, utilize them! They'll help you get a workout schedule that will work for you. I have 130 lb to lose (I'm a 5'4 F), and my trainer set me up on this plan: I was having trouble doing my cardio, as I'm new to working out,…

I'm currently rocking a 46I bra, and I want to get to the point where I can shop in the local plus sized shop for bras. Theirs go up to 42H. I hope, soon, that there will be NO MORE ONLINE BRA SHOPPING. Jesus that crap sucks.

@BarryEllis973 Damn! That's quite a transformation. How long is between the pics?

I would love to have a mentor. Height: 5'4 Gender: F Age: 23 SW: 261 lb CW: 254 lb GW: 130 lb (A total of 131 lb to lose!), but I'd probably be happy with 140. It all depends on how I look once all the weight is off. I know, vain, but when you've been overweight most of your life, you should be free to be a little vain…
