I'm so glas your my mfp friend- you're an awesome encourager!

Yes but would like to lose 10lbs to be in the middle of the normal range of the Asian American bmi chart. I'm within normal between high end and middle. Thank you for your encouragement! 4'11" don't need much calories... I'm so used to eating like a normal height person...

@bold_rabbit and @BMcC9 thank you for your encouragement I just read today 3/19 2:48pm so back on the training wagon 3/20 I wish I read your encouragement beforehand to save effort today 3/18.... Exercise? NO Wallowing in disappointment but did weights for deadlifts and chest flies since lost 0.25 inches off my ASSest. I…

Thank you... I was feeling like ghosting y'all because this trapped at home thing is killing my winning streak.... ok I'll keep trying... thank you for your encouragement

Sorry uac family... I'm disqualified from the winning circle... over calories due to coping with being stuck at home... Thank you Ranger Rick for the encouragement. Sorry to be a let down but I'm still in normal bmi range an the Asian American bmi chart. Exercise? YES Calorie budget? NO Track? YES

There's also 00. That's the Asian American size chart...

Last pass... wha, wha, wha... Exercise? YES Calorie budget? NO Dinner meeting topped me over, I should have budgeted this in.. Track? YES

1. Victory: I'm exercising almost every day and hitting under my calorie budget 2. Challenge: Eating too much of my exercise calories. 3. More exercise so still have calorie deficit. Need to be more faithful with weightlifting to not lose anymore off my ASSets. New goal this week, minimum 3x a week but lately sporadic.

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? YES Track? YES NSV? 1. I went from obese bmi to normal range on the Asian American bmi chart. 2. From size 12 and tent dresses to 4, 2, or 0 and extra small. Every brand is different so a range. 3. Getting compliments that I never heard in my life like gorgeous, skinny minnie, little, etc.…

I did well exercising, tracking, and calorie budgeting all week except for yesterday due to a friend's birthday celebration, ladies movie night out with movie theater, and late night dinner . I ate enough for 2 people my size but when I weighed myself this morning I lost 0.1 lbs so unaffected in my weightloss journey.

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? YES Track? YES

Pass #2 - wha, wha, wha... Exercise? YES Calorie budget? NO Denny's friends birthday breakfast AND ladies movie night with theater popcorn. Track? YES

I just got a call from my school district and they closed all schools starting this Monday to April 10th. Seriously... corona-crazy!!!

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? YES Track? YES Corona-Crazy... I heard all the hype but I was utterly unaffected. I went to Costco to do my usual biannual stock up of basic household items. Water and toilet paper shelves empty from floor to ceiling... I've never seen Costco so ravaged... Seriously? It a new cold virus which…

So adorable!!!

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? YES Track? YES

I was curious just how LONG will the last 8 lbs take to lose... https://www.webmd.com/diet/obesity/features/take-off-those-last-10-pounds My opinion, I think it's more difficult for women because of hormonal fluctuations of menstrual cycle plus for me, I'm learning to not emotionally overeat and I LOVE food!

On a rainy day today, I walked an extra 65 minutes just to eat one Trader Joe's dark chocolate sunflower seeds butter cup and be under my calorie budget while not eating all my exercise calories. I'm learning to savor and enjoy my food choices while balancing how much it costs me to exercise.

Exercise? YES Even though it was raining here and wanted to snuggle up under blankets on the couch. Weights and walked over 10K steps. Calorie budget? YES Track? YES

Today, I had 2 dinner meetings back to back after work so skipped lunch to accommodate since I know the 1st meeting almost always has pizza. I had indulged in 2 thin crust slices and lots of water. 2nd one I passed on the beckoning rich creamy pasta and filled up on hot tea but savored a very small portion 1/4 cup of ice…

Miracle of miracles!!! Not one pound gained... I had to step on the scale again just to verify. Perhaps because I didn't eat dinner to make up for eating enough for 2 and a half people of 4'11" female stature of my whole day budget of calories? Maybe I increased my metabolism? I thought fo sho I'd be setback a day in my…

This newbie's 1st pass day...wah, wah, wah... :o Exercise? YES Calorie budget? NO One indulgent meal at In and Out was worth one whole day of calories for a 4'11" woman like me but I enjoyed it at the beach here in central coast of California. (I'd post a picture but unable) I did try to cut back with only drinking water…

Adorable...

Beautiful... God is the amazing master artist... Thank you for sharing!

Exercise? YES 170 minutes walking and praying for my 12 bible study participants with my co facilitator. Also, lifted weights after. Calorie budget? YES Didn't eat any exercise calories either Track? YES FRIENDLY REMINDER: Daylight savings time for some of us so spring forward!

I totally relate and sympathize with you. Setting healthy boundaries is challenging and even more challenging having to remind them till they get it. Sounds like she is somewhat willing to work with your boundaries by walking with you. Were you able to voice no food gifts? I'm recovering from being physically abused so…

By the way, since such a SLOW pace in this weightloss journey, I've decided to post weekly rather than daily since it seems like the same story repeated. Also, I'm going to focus on recompositioning fat to more muscle.
