VERY inspiring...thankyou for posting!!!

That just made me laugh so dang hard! But yes I have a scale that tells me 22%, the online calcs give me anythign from 22-30%!!!! But when I do the calipers myself at home I get 19% soooooooo...................I really shopuld pay a facility to measure me correctly.

I suggested 2000 cals a day but I think some weeks I work out harder and it would then be 2200. I am currently eating 1888 cals (TDEE cut) a day so i think it calculated well for me.

I do remember 8 years ago (before I became pregnant with my 3rd...darn her...lol) I was "happy" with my body for the first time. I was 125 (more than I am now...oddly and I'm not happy now...:( ) and I was secure in how I looked. My hubbie could even tell. Anyway what I didnt do was stress about it day in and day out. I…

Would love to know how this goes for you. :)

VERY inspiring! Thankyou so much for posting!

LOVE this! Thankyou so much for posting!

Just was giving my opinion if her personality was similar to mine. I do feel you should log UNLESS you have a mentality like mine. I BINGE if I see I cant have anything else even when I'm not hungry. So I have an issue I know and not logging is definitely helping me. ETA: I also dont want to log for the rest of my life. I…

How much was it? I thought I heard several months ago before I got my fitnbit that it was $395? My fitbit was only $100 so I chose that but when I googled BMF the other day it was only $150. Wish I had invested in that than my HRM and FB. :( Also not sure I could wear it on my arm everyday though.

See the post on metabolism reset. :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/611890-don-t-make-this-blunder

Right there with ya. I just posted on my wall that I was taking a logging break. Hubbie loved that I wasnt measuring every little morsel of food. Not sure what I'm doing to my girls as they see me this way too. I need to tame it down a bit. ANYWAY it is psychological with me. If I get through the day and I realize I can…

Nope I think you should DEFINITELY be at the strenuous. I do almost as much as you and thats where I am with Lucia's help. I think Kiki too but i remember Lucia asking why I was only at the 3-5 days with what I was doing. STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE AT. :)

Everyone also have their own opinions on what tastes good as I think Body Fortress is the best I've tried in a long time. I cant stand some of the others so its all what you like in the long run. I cant spend a lot of money otherwise I would get the organic powders. Maybe some day but for now $16 for Body Fortress is the…

Try it with almond milk. I think its tastes like a shake.

They also have cookies and cream...yummy!

Marking to read later at length. I hope with the constant binges (because yout ell me I'm done with carbs for the day then i will surely binge and say whatever) I've been doing after a day of getting to my goal I have already basically done the reset. Just tired of all this logging. :( I want to be "normal" again. I…

We just found Body Fortress Peanut Butter chocolate whey protein. Mix it with a cup of almond milk and it takes like a dessert. I was getting so sick of shakes and this makes me WANT to have it. ONLY $16 at Meijer or Walmart.

I usually only view this groups comments/topics and my home page anymore. I used to do all the forums and people were so mean to others I couldnt stand it anymore but not on here. When I see 1200 cal people I feel really really bad as I was just there a few months ago and miserable. And I always want to say somethig but my…

Unbelievable. So sad. guess I'm striving to be so fat!

Bumping to mark as I feel the same as you. Just keep at it, thats what i keep telling myself. I also pray alot. That helps the most.

Just read the whole story and made me tear up. It is so the story of my life. Thankyou for posting.

I agree. Have thought this so many times of myself. I can binge alot more than 1000 cals at a time though. I believe thats what's causing my gain this month actually, not so much the EM2WL. I have been 2nd guessing, etc...and saying "why bother with all this" and then cookies, ice cream, here I come. I had finally started…

I think you are the more strenuous level than moderate. :)

Exactly. :) I need self control and I had a bad day yesterday.

Hi! I'm 5'2" as well! :) According to your activity I would change it to heavy (or strenuous) excercise and not moderate. Go to the scooby calculator. I just did the fitness frog one but the scooby has more to it. :) http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/#results

I just did this this morning and feel alot better about myself now. 1888 is a 15% cut and thats a lot for me to not feel deprived. :) AND I am one who has gained in lbs and inches so we will see what happens.

Thats so very true!!! If I stuck to fruits and veggies and did a better job to stay away from packaged food I think I would have an issue too. So I will see. BUT then I wouldnt have a problem eating a whole avocado and nuts galore either...lol.

LOL!!! Thankyou!!! :)

Okay FINALLY feel better about myself. I have set my goals on my profile page and will stick to it and see what happens. I got my info from scooby site. I used the katch-mcardle because mifflin gave me such a low BMR and my body fat is 22%.

Yep I dont eat them back (because I have the TDEE # in there)unless my net goal is less than BMR which is almost never...lol.
