In same boat. i've lost all the weight, eat and excercise exactly the same but have noticed weight gain last 4 months as i get closer to menopause. i lift, run, eliptical, count calories, thats the only explanation i have is menopause for the weight gain - darn hormones

eating an extra 300 calories a day for a week does not mathematically add up to 3 lbs. It is likely water weight, sodium intake or just your bodies temporary adjustment to the extra calories. give it a little time. and 1500 calories for 5ft 7" and 150 lbs for a young person is low.

I also discovered it and tweak mine also. I use some feta - 80 cal., toasted almonds - 80 cal and 1/2 the pkg which is about 2 servings. I throw away the packet of cranberries and pumpkin seeds and use 1/2 dressing packet. I may add back 1 TB of cranberries. Another version is add some avocado. its delicious and super…

I have a 5k goal in mind too end of may, preferrably jogging., however my knees are not agreeing with me. i work out already 3-4 times a week so i am in a routine. i would defnitely say establish a routine. if you can walk 8 miles one day, not sure you need to 'train' for 3.1 miles. you can already do it!!! thats good. if…

I don't know how old you are, but i'm 52, 5'1" and 117. I excercise 4xwk w/ cardio/weight training and stay around 1200 calories , mostly a 90/10 diet and I have not lost in over 6 months. I do eat back some excercise calories. So I am starting to realize that its how you look and feel, and not the number. If you look and…

tuna salad in lettuce wraps, 1/2 portion of lays kettle cooked sea salt and cracked pepper chips, and bread and butter pickles.

Yes, i feel achy from fibro and have pain from arthritis. My philosophy is - i'm going to be hurting no matter what i'm doing - nothing or excercising so I might as well excercise. I feel that it helps my quality of sleep and mood which in turn helps my fibro.

My new favorite is chicken meatballs - regular meatball recipe made with ground chicken thigh from whole foods. they are sooooo good. -

I'm sorry what? you walk until you burn 1200 calories?. you look very slim - do you walk all day? Why do you need to burn 1200 calories 6-7 days a week walking? I can walk at 3.5 for an hour and burn only 300 calories.

Feel free to add me also. I am 52 and have lost about 53 lbs and am now maintaining. I still log everything everyday and it will be 3 yrs in April.

Also, can I point out that 114 is a perfectly fine weight for 5'1". Don't beat yourself up about it, if you feel good, healthy, that matters more than the number. Weight lifting will make you look smaller in clothes but may not actually lead to weight loss. I am actually 5'1" and 116 and wear a size 2/4 I believe in part…

FYI have maintained about 1-1/2 years. Took me a year to get it all off.

I am 5'1" and 52. Started out at 168 and am down to about 116. I log everyday. I maintain at about 1200-1500. I excercise minimum 3 days a week. Most weeks its 4x. I do cardio and weight lift. On pretty days, I walk outside 2-3 miles for extra. Its become a way of life. There are several days a year that I don't log.…

Glass bowl with glass plate on top in microwave. 2 TB - 1/3 cup, no oil. microwave about 2-1/2 min.

I use less water, you can also add more pumpkin pie spice, and i also add a few chopped walnuts to mine. Last time I made a glaze and chopped walnuts - delicious

I definitely think weight training helps in addition to cardio and diet. I could tell a big difference in how I looked and clothes fit, not necessarily the number on the scale. You are welcome to add me as well.

Been there done that and lost it. If I can do it , you can do it. Commitment!! Be good to yourself and take care of yourself.

I would suggest weight training, eating back your excercise calories and tracking faithfully. 1300 may be too low for you. MFP always puts people too low in my opinion. look at other calculators like tdee.

Couple things that stand out to me - 1. you frequently are under your calorie goal 2. you do not eat back your calories. both of those things are counterproductive. And thats alot of days in a row of working out with no rest days in between.

It is very doable. When you first start out you have an adjustment period. You get hungry, sore from excercise and its mentally difficult to keep going. KEEP GOING. Track everything you eat and excercise you do. I did it and have kept it off a year and half. Its not just a daily habit to track food and excercise.

Butternut squash , turkey breakfast sausage, apple, onion hash topped w/ fried egg. Yummy

Salad 50/50 blend, strawberries, blue cheese pecans, lite rasp dressing.

Your title answers the problem for you. Nobody should only eat 800 calories.

Hospital cafeteria food b/c they have fish on Fridays. Tilapia Vera Cruz, yellow squash
