I'm the same height as you and I've been at the same weight as you more than once. Starting on MFP you can use the calorie intake parameters and NOT do a lot of exercise and lose weight, but I suggest really watching what you eat and staying within the 1,200 calories allotted for the day. Also, when it comes to exercise…

I'm getting new shoes tonight and I'll be getting some socks too. Hopefully new shoes fixes the problem. The blister is now two layers deep. :-/

I was going to get new shoes. my current shoes are getting holes at the top of the shoes, where my foot flexes.

Thank you, ixap, I will look into getting better socks.

Thank you, all of you for your answers. A salad would not go over well because the hostess doesn't like lettuce. She HATES lettuce. I've been trying to cut high calorie food out of my diet. I watched my friend make spaghetti once and it was 2 16oz packs of noodles with 2 jars of sauce. 2 oz of noodles (which really isn't…

I'm outside of Tulsa and I have 65lbs to lose.

Hey, not bad better than what I did in march, I lost 2lbs for march. So far I've lost .2lbs for April.

I play the Harp, not the harpsicord, but the actual concert grand glissando making harp. I've played since I was 8. I can kinda play the piano. I've messed around with the guitar. A friend showed me how to play the clarinet, and I can play basic stuff on the bass guitar.

Wow that's a big difference! I knew you were looking thinner, but the before and after's really put it into perspective. Awesome job!

Thanks! I can't wait to to post pics when I reach goal weight.

I don't eat back my exercise calories. I also have fitbit and I kinda feel it over estimates how many calories I actually burn during the day. I'm going to be honest, there are some days when I don't want to eat all at and I have to talk myself into eating. When I was a teenager I used to go days without eating anything.…

I would like to give it a try!

I was going to suggest ovulating too. My boobs get sore during ovulation.

I was 18 2 weeks away from being 19 and he was 19. We'll be married 6 years in October, we've been together 7 years and have two kids 4yrs and 10months.

I answered the comment about the age already. If you have a parent with you, you can be in the gym at that age, but you're supposed to be supervised at all times.

I think that's awesome and a good way to approach the matter. I go on walks on the weekend and I take my kids with me. They're young 4yr and 10 months, but they love being pushed in the stroller. My 4yr old like to ride his bike on some of the paths too. I think it's perfectly ok to bring your kids along on stuff like…

I said in my original post that I think it's ok for kids to think about being healthy, however I think it should be in general terms of being healthy not looking at the scale and being worried about a number on the scale. Who knows how tall this girl will grow up to be. This girl did not look fat, she had a little bit of…

You can be in the gym at 11-12 if you have a parent there.

So, 20% less of my current TDEE, off to go calculate.

OK, I think understand that, now. What about eating at BMR? Do I calculate for my goal weight and eat at that BMR or do I eat at my current BMR? I have MFP at the 1,200 calorie goal, and I'm stalling out. Eating at BMR would up my calories, but I would like to know how much to up it to.

Shameless bump, I need help with this people!

I'm really hoping to reach my goal weight this year. I feel like I have SO much more to lose. I currently weigh 188lbs and my goal is 120lbs. 68 more pounds to go until goal.

No one?

I was a Goth in HS I had 4 albums on rotation Korn, Slipknot, Disturbed, and Eminem I wanted to be a Psychologist, get married, have kids, be rich. I got 2 out of 4 (married with kids) Latest technology was blackberry I do believe. Best show was Little Britain (I watched it with my now husband and his family) The BEST…

Your baby is beautiful! Congrats! I had my baby may 2nd 2011 and I was on bed rest for 3 months with her. I'm down 16lbs from after I had her ( I started focusing more on weight loss in January). I wish you luck on your new journey. You can do it!

When I started I had 97 pounds to lose. If I concentrated on the fact that it was nearly 100lbs I would get discouraged. To me it seemed like it would be unreachable and take forever. I started working on trying to lose weight in 2010. My start weight was 217lbs. I'm 5'3" and my goal weight is 120. So far I've only lost…

I'm not from England, but my Husband is from Exeter. We're in the US.

3/1/12 190.0 3/5/12 190.0 3/12/12 190.0 3/19/12 190.0 3/26/12 3/31/12 Nothing lost at all this month so far. Hopefully I'll lose soon.

Thanks! I'm going to try really hard this time and I hope I don't have another lull period where I lose some of my commitment.
