I was originally thinking around 135, but I just had my body composition measured this morning (using a hydrostatic tank - super cool!) and I found out that 124.3lbs of my current 163.5lbs is actually lean mass (muscle, organs, etc. - not fat), so I'm thinking 135 would be crazy if I'd like to keep my current muscle mass.…

I'm gonna bump this topic on up, because I'm curious about this same issue, and it doesn't look like anyone has given a satisfactory answer to it lately! Hopefully somebody out there has an idea? Or at least an opinion?

hehehehe! That's FANTASTIC!!! and totally sounds like something I would do :laugh: Keep up the awesome work!

Keep at it! Unfortunately, getting healthier and slimming down takes more time than any of us here would like. Here's something to think about to keep you motivated: You could be gaining muscle while losing fat at the same time! A bathroom scale doesn't understand that lean muscle weight is better than flabby fat weight,…

LOVE THIS.

These look exactly like the ones you can buy in bulk from Central Market, only bigger. I had to do a bit of math to get here, but my estimate comes out to about 16 calories per piece. (The mini ones from Central Market are 210 calories for 62 pieces (40 grams). I'm happy to show my math if you want to double check me!)…

A few years back I used the colon cleansing kit sold by Blessed Herbs. I had a pretty positive experience with it (although I did miss basic joys like, well, chewing.), but I would emphasize that I used it specifically for its CLEANSING purposes, and (as clearly advertised) I did not see any kind of permanent weight loss…

This is actually kind of a hard question to answer. You could (hypothetically) lose weight and have your body fat percentage go up (instead of down!), IF the weight you lose is primarily muscle loss rather than fat loss. if the weight you lose is from fat, than your body fat % will obviously decrease. Unfortunately, it's a…

You have to be able to forgive yourself. These kind of days are going to happen, because you're human! We all are :) I know it is extremely difficult, but this is a process - there are going to be streaks where you're totally on target and winning, and there are going to be days when you slip. The goal is to make the…

way to go you!!! :D

Thanks so much for the positive feedback everybody! :smile: The motivation from mfp and seeing those scale numbers dropping has me totally ready to go conquer those next 10 lbs ;)

After re-reading her post, I'm sure you're right. I just can relate to be new to MFP and feeling dumb for not knowing how to 'search it' after only having posted a handful of times.

Krystyn, I'm afraid I don't personally have advice for you on how to gain healthy weight (currently as I am trying to lose), however I will go ahead and apologize for the very unhelpful/rude post directly below yours. There are a ton of wonderful people on this site who I'm sure will be able to help advise and support you…

I can definitely understand your frustration! Question for you: when you are trying to lose weight, are you being super-strict with yourself and cutting out all the foods you like? I know that I failed miserably at losing weight when I took that approach in the past. Right now I'm focusing on working out a lot (which means…

This won't solve the 'scale not budging!!!' issue, but have you been measuring yourself? With that much exercise, you may be really toning up, losing inches, and making progress - just not the kind that you can see on the scale.

OREOS. They kill my willpower.

I know exactly how you feel! My husband and I went to Chili's tonight too - I got their new Grilled Vegetable Tacos, and I'm a little worried because there is no nutrition info available for them yet, not even on the Chili's website. Going through the official Chili's nutrition info, the only other things I feel I can eat…

Some general thoughts: Stay away from sauces - a lot of seafood places will take a healthy piece of fish and pour 400 calories of butter sauce over it. Watch out if they have bread on the table to snack on - you can easily tack on 300+ calories to your meal without realizing it just from mindlessly munching on a roll or a…
