  • Ugh. I was just complaining about Kohl's the other day - their sizes are totally inflated. I am now fitting into a size 4 in some of their stuff and I am NOT a size 4. Size 4, from what I saw on their website, is as low as they go and even they are hard to find - most things seem to start at size 6. I bought some…

  • I love Indian food! We have no Indian restaurants in our area, so I've learned to cook it at home. Here's a link to a Cooking Light recipe: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/chickpea-spinach-curry-10000000354461/ It's very easy to make - one of those recipes where you get tons of flavor for very little effort. It's probably…

  • I'll be weighing in on Fridays, my regular weigh-in day. Anyway, after the big last minute drop in March of 2.6 in one week, I'm pretty happy that I went down a tiny bit this week too. Starting Weight: 127.4 lb (Sunday, April 1) Weight Loss Goal 4% = 5.1 pounds Week 1: 127.0 lb; .31% lost (Friday, April 6) (.4 lbs. lost)…

  • My BMR is about the same as yours. I think that MFP automatically adjusts it up to 1200 (which is what they have me set to), even if your own personal BMR calculates out lower than 1200. All I know is I'm not using anything lower than 1200 - 1200 is hard enough! :)

  • About 99 pounds (I'm 5'1"). I don't think I cracked 100 until I went to college - freshman 15 and all of that. I remember not being able to give blood because I didn't weigh enough! My goal weight now is about 118. I'd prefer 115, but would be satisfied with 120, so I picked something in between. Weighed less then, but…

  • Final Weigh-in: I don't know what to do with this one. As of Thursday, the scale said 130. Then yesterday it said 129.2. Then this morning it said 127.6. Can that be? I do tend to go slow, slow, slow and then show a bigger drop, but I don't know if I can trust this one. It was also that TOM, so there may have been some…

  • I generally only count intentional exercise but will count some outdoor chores. For example...... *Mowing our lawn - before we got a rider mower - used to take about 3 hours and involved hills. I definitely counted that! *Some gardening - I will count heavy gardening - if I'm moving dirt, raking, lifting heavy bags of…

  • I gave up alcohol, snacky junk food (chips, pretzels, etc.), sweets (except dark chocolate, no more than 50-100 cals per day) and artificial sweeteners (Splenda, diet soda). I'm also trying to stay under my calorie goal here on MFP every day during Lent, but may allow the inevitable overage here or there. Only 37 days, 9…
