I am 5'3 and 136.4 as of today...My story is the same as yours- when I was a teen I was always right around 125. Now I a mother of three and 30 years old (also weighing around 140). Best advice I have: It takes time and dedication. It is a life style change for LIFE not a diet. My weight goes up and down just like yours, I…

I need help with eating clean- does this mean nothing but freash fruit and veggies, lean meats...is there a web site with more info?

I almost always eat them back, I tried not to but my weightloss pretty much stopped. I have heard a lot of people say that when they eat a little more they lost more- this has been true for me too :)

I can only do the breaststroke :( I tought myself how to swim and that is the only way I know how. I have tried on my back and freestyle- I look and feel like I am drowning! My legs and butt are very toned, I do pilates for my abs, but my arms need work- I want them thinned and toned.

Just like me! I am 5'3 and I do the eliptical and swim! I have lost 10lbs and I am working on 10 more :)

Add to friends :) I need GOOD advice!

I read a lot about muscle loss when you don't net enough-I guess I am also concerned with my organs failing or something bad like that (for not enough fule). Do what works for you, and eat when you are hungry.

depends on how you set up your profile- if for your activity level you put very lite activity you want to eat back excersize cals. Really you want to NET at least 1200. I am 5'3 and 143 my goal is 135 (for now)- I am set up for 1200 a day and I almost always net 1200- if I don't work out I only eat 1200.

I agree that working muscles that are not worked consistantly will leave them sore- I have always done the eliptical at the gym (for years!) and when I began jogging outside for a change I could hardly walk for a few days- it was from a new way of working the muscles. If you are haveing another king of pain/ soreness (like…

I am 145lbs now (29 years old), my short term goal is 135lbs, long term I would love to be 125lbs (what I was before 3 children). Good luck :)

In short- yes....however I know when I am happy about the way I look, so is he. I also know when I am feeling more confident in the way I look I am also more likely to come onto him. I always here confidence is very attractive...

Same thing happens with me, however I think it is because I am not consistant- I work out hard for 5 days in a row, then I might skip 3 days, then work out for 2 days....so on and so on. Same thing happenes with the way I eat- I will go for days doing well then all of a sudden I am 500 cals over for the day. I think I have…

I was 16 with my first son, I was in 11th grade. I finished high school and I think i was a really good mom. My son is going into 8th grade in the fall with stright A's, he is a great kid and I would not trade him for the world. With that said I would never recomend having a child at that age. I left my sons father when he…

Yes I did get fitted at a shoe store, they took video of me running on the treadmill plus all of my foot measurments, I tried shoes on that were best for my feet and stride- I will never buy running shoes again w/o doing this first! I knew the impact would be differant running outside (I run on a sidewalk) I just want to…

:laugh: so ture!

Thats great :) I was feeling guilty about what I ate yesterday too! I usally weigh myself daily but I decided to stay away from the scale for a few days. Your right, today is a new day and we can just move forward :smile:

Thank you for sharing! I get discouraged all the time. It is nice to hear about someone who is "doing it" you are great motivation :smile:

I am eating just enough I think, I am also doing some kind of cardio daily as well as pilates. I just want to shrink my stomach over night haha. Thanks for the encouragement :)

I am 5'3 and 148lbs, first goal is 140, then 135. My dream come true would be 120!

I know how you feel; I just started to log my food again (today) after being away for three months. I weigh exactly the same as I did when I first started. I am 5’3 and 148lbs. I am beyond depressed with the way I look. I don’t even want my husband to see me naked. I know 148lbs does not sound like a lot but all of my…

I work out when I can (3 days a week or so) I never drink ANYTHING with cals, I only drink water and diet ice tea. If I add milk that would be like taking away food lol. Maybe it is just because I have really tried to get rid of all junk, that is what I seem to want at night...maybe I am not hungry, I just want a "treat"?…

Who cares how I lose it? FYI I do work out! I have a hard time with people who could care less about others and thier feelings. Seeing it brings out the worst in me. I am sorry for the mean things I may have said. I am also sorry that there are such cold self centered people out there. Either way, good luck to all.

WOW, you are a teacher????? That is so sad.

I support Lisa, and all of her points. I am 140 and I am not happy with my weight, however i have friends and family that are MUCH bigger than me and I would not dream of telling them how terrible I feel aboutt my size. It has nothing to do with freedom of speech, or being honest. So yes, I stand by my statement. In fact I…

I had a reduction after my first son, I was about 125lbs and a D cup, I was very happy with the results. I did not think I wanted anymore kids so I was not concerned with being able to brestfeed. However I had 2 more boys in the last 5 years. I did not produce enough milk to feed them and I was very sad about it :( the…

In the 12 years of my BC use: The pill never made a difference, I used the pill on and off for about 10 years (in between having planned children). I ttried the shot and gained about 6lbs in just 2 months, besides that, I was working out 5-6 days a week and could not lose an ounce! The shot is out of my system and I now…

I was working out 5 days a week when I was on the shot, I still gained about 6 pounds! (On top of the 9 I had already gained b4 working out). The shot should be out of my system by now. FYI BC effects everyone differently, just because you still lost does not mean everyone can....I have heard many women say the same thing,…

How do you add your goals to your page... I see a lot of CW, GW and so on...I would like to set some so that I can see it...all the motivation I can get. I have three kids so I have no disire to look pregnant ever again lol.

Here is the problem, I LOVE sweets, I have cut back a ton...but it is still a problem. I was thinking that the side effects would be enough to keep me away. I have only been on MFP for about 10 days, I did lose 2lbs so far...guess I am greedy and I want to lose a lot more. I got the depo shot in june and gained so much…
