Well I used to be 5'10" and then age shrinkage occurred so I am 5'9" and that is what I go by now. Why would you not?

Yes this has been an issue for me over the past week or so, retaining water in fact I showed a 5 lbs gain. But I almost always stay under 1000 mg with my macros set to 1200mg. Naturally occasionally I hit over 1000 mg. I buy as much as possible that is low sodium, never use soy sauce but still even veggies have salt so if…

I used a FitBit for a long time but a few month ago went to the Polar FT7 HRM. I have a low resting heart rate and the FitBit was WAY over calculating my calories burned. I wore my HRM for 24 hrs and that gave me an idea of my true burn for an average day. DARN that low heart rate!! I am very lucky that my HR is 45 whilst…

I started with my Pt about 7.5mths ago and I just :heart: him ! He has totally transformed by body shape it's been amazing and worth the investment. I am now 10 lbs to goal weight and working hard to lower BF % which now seems to now be creeping along but I have lost 12% and now I am around 31% but would like to be around…

Soon to be 55 in May.. Yikes, but feel 40!! And I have lost 100lbs so far but these last 10 are killing me. I keep going up and down about 5 lbs. So disapointing to be 177 and then pop back up to 181.... darn!! I started to eat a bit more and this happened, I can only hope it's not FAT but fluids and other things. Been…

Likely it is in there in so many ways. I found one that I use which is good enough:Stretching, hatha yoga.:smile:

Luck for me I love it, and it I am eating the usual type, pepper is all I need. However I have trying to reduce my sodium and boy does all of the usual brands have a lot of sodium per cup. So I have been making special trips to a store that carries low sodium version, and yes it's rather bland because of this so I had a…

Well said! I am over 50, I started weight training 6.5 mths ago and it has completely re-shaped by body. I now have a waist! I have been on a healthy living plan for 15 mths, and I am down 104 lbs. The last 55 since weight training. Now I have a personal trainer, and he is worth every penny, I am not sure I could have been…

PB2 rocks! I like the chocolate version too, and I put it into anything that calls for PB. I also use Jiff Natural PB as a treat on occasion too in lieu cookies or cakes, etc and just lick it off a spoon, but typically only 1 TSP.

I have lost 102 lbs now but my feet are still 11 inches long, bone does not shrink. However fatter feet will cause you to go up a shoe size so typically you will go down a side and if you we're a wide might go to a medium width. Long ago I wore a 12 W and now 11 M. But my feet are still the same length. What I would give…

I guess I sort of do both. I try to have 40 protein/ 30 carbs / 30 fats daily, but then I try to stick to around 1300 these days as I am on a plateau. But I find that if I go over 1500 I tend to put on weight, so right now I am back and forth from 1200 to 1500 just depending, and still trying to keep the 40/30/30…

Same here never been ideal weight. But in hindsight, back in the late 1960 and early 1970's when I was 8-12 yr old if you were tall, and your weight was not what was considered 'idea' for a female then you were overweight. In looking back at photos of myself at 12-16 I was a bit overweight but never really too bad. At 13 I…

By all means check with your GP on this but, I will tell you that I have had this issue twice in the past due to weight loss. At one point I lost 1/2 of my hair and Biotin did not help whatsoever, but I did use a Shampoo called Nioxin or Nutri-ox and this helped my hair grow back in, as it was recommended by my…

As someone who has been as high at 360 and now is 183, I can say that travel can be challenging depending upon your size, there is no doubt. Seats are small in coach so if you are overweight enough long travel is difficult. But it never stopped me as it was part of my job and thus I had to figure out how to deal with all…

I am 180.5 lbs or just slightly over 13 stone. I am 5'9" wear a side 11 or 11.5 shoe(US) and I am currently in a 12 or 14. US size. I am looking pretty slim now so I think I am only shooting for another 10 to 12 lbs my goal weight range is 169 to 174 and I guess I will have to determine that once I get there to ensure it…

I just DO IT! After 14 mths of consistant exercise on a schedule, it's become a habit. Whilst I was always a morning person, getting up at 4am to be at the gym at 5am was a bit hard at 1st but now, it's routine. Only Saturday do I take it slower and go for 8am. I never hit the snooze button, and I just get up right away…

I have tried all types, and lately I prefer Dymatize Whey ISO whey, mainly due to the taste and ease of mixing, and also because I am on a low sodium diet and this has only 50mg of sodium per scoop. Its 106 cals, 24 grms, O carbs, I use them to supplement my diet and boost my calories, and in particular drink them at times…

I have been lifting for 6 mths approx, and the results have been amazing. Not huge amounts of weight yet, I am 54 yrs old and I have a lot of Arthritis issues, but I have progressed quite a bit even doing suspension training now too. When I started I had lost 50 lbs on my own, and now another 45 in the last 6 mths, and…

I just happen to find this site yesterday: www.julianbakery.com with discount code 1776. They make carb free, gluten free, and have some stores that carry their brand, I am planning to try some soon.

I find that Dymatize Whey ISO-1000 in Chocolate is not grainy and mixes well in what, and a plus is that it is low in sodium which was hard for me to find as most are 100+mg per scoop and this is on 50mg. I also recenlty tried the Banana flavor and it is not too bad either. I often mix with soy milk for an even richer…

Check out this site: www.theyummylife.com, and look for the Overnight Refridg Oatmeal. Make ahead of time, and it's fab, and quick the next day. i use this all of the time as my grab and go food.

I used it for around 8-9 mths, and it was a great motivator, the last 5 mths I got a Polar HRM because the FitBit was over estimating for me, and I needed to know my cals burned a bit more accurately. But I think it is a great tool, these days honestly I stopped wearing it, lost it once, and they replaced it, great…

I do the same thing make a black bean chili, I use the app to build the recipe and I just put one serving. Then I portion out the finished product into 1.25 cups for example and freeze then in individual containers. Once complete I go back into MFP recipe app and update the portions.

I had the same issue at one time, but not now. I think you need to up your calories, you are eating less that I am in most cases, and Men need more calories typically. For a while I just ate because I knew I needed to fuel my body for my 60 min workouts, but now I do get hungry and things are no longer outta whack! I am…

24 lbs in one month is totally un-realistic I am afraid. You are very young so you might be able to loose slightly more than 2 lbs per week, but likely not consistently. I managed to loose 2 lbs per week consistently for 4.5 mths and dropped 40 lbs. But you will have to be on a very strict eating plan, week out all fast…

I have a very low resting heart rate to begin with, typically under 50, normal for women is suppose to be 60-100. Given that I seem to burn less than most. I burn around 330-400 on the Elliptical for 45-60 mins if I keep my heart rate around 125-135. When I am doing strength training it's between 285-330 for 60 mins. Yoga…

Hi my name is Sandra. I live in Tomball, Texas, just north west of Houston. I am 54 yrs old. I have been using MFP for 59 weeks starting this Monday and I am down 90 lbs, with 20 to go. I had a gastric by pass in 2005' my top weight was 380' and I managed to get down to and maintain 225 ish up until 2011. Last year I had…

Houston Texas area, been at this for 58 weeks, still going strong! :love:

YES, I eat the same things most of the time, and only treat myself to new things once in a while. Just easier for me.....

NOPEl ! Not Crazy! I travel for work, and I pack food all of the time to ensure I stay on my eating plan. But I travel overseas and it's harder to find certain things, but I always try to get a room with a mini bar fridge and hit the local grocery store for fresh fruit and veggies. I went on Vac to Hawaii in June and…
