Mine is 1200...but I dont have to stay at 1200 due to the extra calories I earned during exercise.

Well WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to your new MFP family!!! Glad to have you!!!!!!!

5'1" SW: 116 CW: 113 GW: 108

Great video! You are definitely gettin it in!! Im going to start incorporating jump rope in my cardio.

You have the recipe to share? :flowerforyou:

Good luck to you too!!

I refuse to live my life according to what other people think I should live it due to my age. Im comfortable in my own skin so support instead of judging.

You should NEVER have days with only 600 calories! Thats starvation mode! Not good for the body.

Im still struggling with the whole eating clean thing...its hard when you're used to eating certain foods and have favorite types of meals. But gotta stay focused and determination is key!

Increase the intensity in your workouts. Lift heavier...run harder...burn more calories.

Yes maam. Increase your intensity in your workouts.

I was told by one of the other MFPers that if I replace one of my meals with a low calorie protein shake, that will help me with fat loss and toning. So I've been doing that along with doing cardio and strength training exercises 5-6 days a week. I also eat a small salad as one of my meals. My only full meal is at the end…

Im 5'1, I weighed 116 when I started getting serious about toning....I'm approximately 1131bs now and my goal weight is anywhere between 108-110lbs with muscular thighs, abs, arms, and back. Therefore, regardless of how many calories I burn, I try to keep it no more than 1340. Im looking into bikini competitions just to…

Looks like I need to invest in one of those too!

I had a Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein Shake (Chocolate), 1 scoop for 140 calories, a banana, and like 3 bottles of water... #bloated. :)

Mocha is my model name I go by.

Ok here goes my list of favs that I HAD to date...for whoever is going to grant this wish for me...please feel free to choose which ever one in no particular order...ok thanks! 1. LL Cool J 2. Michael Ealy 3. Shemar Moore 4. Denzel Washington 5. Will Smith 6. Tyrese Gibson 7. Ryan Reynolds 8. Morris Chestnut 9. Boris…

Yea I am more and more intrigued with the bikini competitions. That may lead me to do figure in the future. We shall see how my body reacts with training. Thanks!

I say dont let a litte scar (yes little) hold you back!!! Thats what those tanning stuff is for!!! YOU GOT THIS!!!

I drink plenty of water and chew Wrigley's Peppermint gum. 10 calories per stick though, so I limit it to only one or two per day. But the peppermint flavor lasts so it keeps me occupied. :smile:

Why thank you kindly!!

Bump

From what Ive seen so far... there are quite a few divisions with some competitions. They have the height divisions. I would be qualified for 5' 2" and under. And there's also the over 30 division. Some competitions differ from one another however.

WOW! Thats a lot of weight to drop! Which competition will you compete for? Is it costly?

Thanks Am! Which competition are you going to compete for?

I too am interested in doing competitions for either bikini or figure. Not sure yet which one. It will most likely be for bikini. Do you guys feel that one competition is more prestigious than the other? I've looked up a few competitions online but still unsure which ones to begin training for.

We have the same goals! :drinker:

Well Im deployed overseas so my plans is to just kick it with the rest of my coworkers tomorrow evening at the Sean Kingston concert. Much rather be with family and friends back home though. :happy:

I cant really choose one over the other out of my MFP friends but journeyingascrystal has inspirational stories she tells often. Other than that, everyone pretty much gives me the same "good job" and "great workout!" messages daily. LOL As far as my special interests in a couple of other MFPers on my list are: MyCoachNYLA…

I dont think I've answered this forum so here goes. Plus, Im at work bored... lol I entered the Air Force (active duty) first because I needed money for college. I was in the Logistics (Supply) career field. While on active duty I was obtaining my college credits but finished the rest of my college education after I…
