I had a personal trainer even though it got expensive and she was great, I could never remember what she had taught me to do! Have your trainer write out a "fitness plan" for you with all of the moves/sets/reps she gives you so you can also do them on your own time! What helped me was moving to a bigger gym! I had been at…

Weight lifting! As you can't physically turn fat into muscle (but I know what you mean!) Lifting will build more muscle while burning fat so eventually you will have "replaced fat with muscle"! Good luck girl!

I definitely suffer from messed up eating - I have heard it called disordered eating as well. My brain basically stops thinking when I see junk food then turns back on the second I finish eating it. I am always thinking about food and having very conflicting thoughts- I am always thinking about my next meal but also…

Did she/he say that 8 of those 16 hours can be spent sleeping? My friend is a faster and she really likes it. I have tried it for a few days (maybe over a week and a half). I felt like my body adapted from feeling like I had to have breakfast to eating lunch and dinner then stopping to go to bed.

Height is 5'6 weight is 177-178

Honestly with how tired work makes me, I try to get in morning workouts on my days off(T,TH). Once I finish them, I feel like I can relax the rest of the day!

You are all doing great! What motivation!!!!

I's 5'6 and want to be 130.. close enough!!

I was fitted two years ago at FleetFeet for running shoes (thought i'd start running then) and it really felt great to start running but those shoes are what I wear every day so maybe my feet have changed/ the shoes are just old! My shoe testing lasted an hour because one ankle drops in but with the shoes I ended up buying…

Hey! I have BBG and honestly, it is so hard for me (even though its 28 minutes long) that I havent been able to stick with it!! The women you see before and afters of have usually completed it a couple times or have done it for a year! The workouts start with the pre training which apparently is the worst part! You are…

I got the tdee from the katie hearn website. It has an equation. I also just googled how to find my bmr and tdee.

YES this is what I meant! So I'm not sure if I eat the 400 calories back?

I am giving the winning points (2001 I believe?) another try. My mom used it when I was a kid and lost a ton of weight on it! I think if I can just go slow and not overwhelm myself (and develop self control) I will succeed- will keep you updated

Hi! I'm 25-5'6- 168-170 lbs! Feel free to add me- I also deal with social gathering munchies and alcohol!

I'm doing the original weight watchers (with the slider) and I have been doing it for about a week and a half!

I don't remember the target I originally got but I have been getting like at most 60g of protein per day! I think because I've started eating less meat which helped me get more protein faster (chicken for lunch and dinner) has been keeping me from enough protein..or as much protein!

I'm 25 almost 26(can I stay in the group?!) and trying to lose 38 lbs! Add me! Especially if you're a gal from NC!

You have like my ideal figure! Message me and tell me what you did!

Take it one meal at a time! This helps me tremendously!

Mini goal- get down to 165! Then 160!

This is the post I've been looking for! I just can't get it together and I think support from other 5'6ish ladies will help! You all are doing amazing and keep it up!!! You're all so motivational!

Are you afraid of working out when other people are there? I actually learned a lot by asking girls I saw working out what I should be doing! Also this works for me ( if you get in there and tell yourself you're a badass especially while youre lifting weights or running, you feel a little better being in there!)

Thanks!

Ashley here, lover of all cheese except that of the cottage variety- nothing makes me salivate more than the thought of a cheese ball covered in almond slices with a triscuit in hand for scooping! Except actually eating it! :p :p

130- they're the small ones that come in a 4 pack

Wow I knew it was too good to be true! I actually saw those calories on mfp but could have misread the oz amount! Thank you for the mixing the wine tip! That's genius!

I just saw that Riunite Lambrusco is 98 valories per 8oz- would that be a healthier substitute for a wine? I think i can stick to less if I really think about it.

FIRED MY NUTRITIONIST! Let's do this!!! B) B) B)

When I drink on weekends it's usually wine! I've never had a drink (besides a beer) at a bar or restaurant. But as a wine substitute I may try rum and diet coke! What are your thoughts on Pinnacle Whipped vodka with Sprite?
