Thanks. Funny MFP says to eat 1200 calories to loose and this says 1442. I am very short and starting to have binging issues so I'm trying to figure out a plan and the exact calories I should be consuming.

I am so confused what is TDEE?

Thanks :)

Ugh I am even more confused. It says Garmin (3026) Myfitnesspal (2032) - Calories burned 994. Do I do anything and what about what was recorded during my workout which was 526? Do I even bother adding it..?

I don't know why people are acting like you don't know what she's talking about. I totally understand, in my diary I am always over. I don't like to go crazy over it if it's from fruits, etc. Though a lot of nutritionist say you shouldn't have more than 25 g of sugar a day and I struggle with that. So I try and make sure…

Bump

I like where your heads at!

The 125 isn't that bad for me its the 115 that is impossible for me.

Its crazy how my weight can fluctuate. I range from 125 - 135. The past few years it more like 130-136. I don't feel comfortable at all at this weight.

I TOTALLY agree!! I have been on here since (maybe 2008) and I am appalled at the responses! I will refer to my topic "body image". Every ones story is different so I don't know what all the high and mighty "I know all because I lost weight" attitude is! If you don't have anything nice to say then go sit down and be quiet!!

I am 5'1 1/2 (lol I strive for that half). My favorite weight is 117-120. I have been 130 for a couple years now. It is so hard to maintain that and I am only 28. I don't know if it's because I am Hispanic or what. When I was at my lowest (114) it took so much to get to there. It was not a realistic way of life. I was…

This doesn't even make sense

Girl bye

Yea I think my issues stem through my dad. He was very vain and a lot of comments are still imbedded in my head.

Well said!

Same here girl! At my lowest weight I still had a stomach. I'm short it's just the way it is. I was told that I didn't work hard enough on my stomach and it could ave changed but I really just think it's is what it is.

Thank you this is exactly the feedback I was looking for. I agree you can't please them all. I do my best to maintain what I can. I have went through a lot if changes over the years. My husband is amazing. He thinks my body image mentality is nuts! He's definitely helped me with it. I have learned that life is short and to…

I am telling people to calm it down because people are acting like I'm sitting in the mirror crying about people not liking me. I don't care if people don't like my body!! I am fine with my body (NOW) and did have a borderline eating disorder when I was younger. I go up and down - one day I like where I am then the next I…

Yes you guys are correct.

Actually I was looking for body image from others POV. I do feel people are being rude but whatever people will say what they want.

Let’s calm it down people. I am not worried about what others think. Everyone strives towards what body they like or want to be like. To sit here and act like you are 100% loving yourself/body is a down right lie. If that was the case none of us would be here on this site counting calories.

Thank you. I have to disagree with the breakfast. So many nutritionists, doctors, and personal trainers swear by eating breakfast in the morning.... I will agree to disagree though. Thank you for leaving your comment :)

Maybe your right. I don't eat a big breakfast (when I work early) because I don't want to eat too many calories and really over eat before I eat dinner. I also try to stick to a paleo type of diet. I am not on a paleo diet but try and stay away from wheat and grains as much as possible.

What is the 5:2 diet?

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Avocado dressing to replace ranch! 1 large avocado, 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, 1/2 cup greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon hot sauce, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 garlic cloves, 3/4 teaspoon salt. Enjoy!

Here's a start with a Non-Fat Vinaigrette recipe. Maybe you could tweek it. Paraphrased recipe: Non-Fat Vinaigrette 1 packet unflavored gelatin 1/2 cup cold water 1 cup boiling water 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1 tbsp Dijon-style mustard 1 tsp fresh dill or 1 tbsp dried dill 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/8 tsp black…

This is why I am glad your my new friend ;) hehe

Side Note: I have added more intense workings bc I am toning so I am gaining muscle. That said I should still be loosing fat too. I feel a little tighter but see nothig on the scale!! AAhhhhhhhh :noway:

OK thanks. Do you cook the oatmeal portion first or just mixed the dried oates and nuke in the am?
