So excited about exercise minutes. Didn't so well in last challenge.

Morning everyone, I have not loss any weight in the last month. Spoke to the trainer and she told me to eat 1250 calories no matter how much I exercise. Due to my height and my age so next month I should be down by 5 lbs..Can't wait next month is my daughters Sweet 16. She is growing up so quick. :smile:

HI Everyone, the weigh in is next week and I have not lost any weight at all. Still working out and eating right.:( I will keep at it maybe next month.:angry:

Great job, it is amazing feeling to have things get loose!

Hi , My name is Gina aka gnastro, I have 4 children 1 boy and 3 girls (20, 17, 16 and 14) . The lowest I ever weighed in High School was 110 lbs. That was with 3 hrs. of cardio and lived on boiled chicken and rice. I started lifting 11 years ago and working out. Happily married to my high school sweet heart for 21 yrs. so…

Hi I can't wait 4'10" and fit in kids shoes size 3 and half.:smile: Gina

Hi laloquita, My scale has not moved at all.:mad: I keep eating right and working out hope I am losing inches.:smile:

MFP, gym and greek yogurt.

We all have been through this. I go to goodwill and buy stuff for 3 to 5 dollars and the clothes are in good condition. I know it is so darn frustrating.:mad:

Hi Justice, Welcome to the shorty group. You can do this. Friend me if you like.:smile: Gina

Hi CJ, Feel free to friend me, shorties rule!!!!!:smile: Gina

Vertical Challengers , great name.

Your snack should contain enough protein. I eat greek yogurt no fat and mix in polaner sugar free jelly with fiber. 2 tablespoons of jelly only 20 calories.

Hi , I know your goal was set to lose a certain amount of weight by a certain time, but don't crash diet. I was obsessed with the number on the scale too. See how your clothes are fitting are they a little looser.There was someone on MFP who lost 2.5 lbs in a month but her measurements shrunk by 3 inches just on her waist.…

Fellow shorties, How about 3 lbs a month as a goal? The closer you are to your goal the slower it comes off.I lift 3 times a week , it does make a difference. The scale doesn't show change quickly but clothes are not so tight anymore. Feel free to friend me, I am 44 and the weight comes off slower as you get older.:mad: I…

Hi , I am 4'10" and I have been here for 2 years. Just be honest and write everything you eat. My weight has been as high as 172 being pregnant and as low as 115lbs. I think 110 would be good for me. Losing a pound a week is slow but steady. If you need a friend just request me.:smile: Gina

If the pain is severe get it checked by a doctor. It may be just, gas. If you have problems with the bathroom, I use ground flaxseed either in my cereal, yogurt or shake.

Great job, congratulations on your weight loss!!!!:smile:

According to my kids their friends think it is…

Congratulations keep up the good work!!! :smile:

My best time for a 5k was 30 minutes, I beat my time from 3 years ago by 3 minutes. :)

Riding twice a day for that much time seems like alot. I would probably say 45-60 minutes a day is enough. It is a lifestyle change, it may take longer to lose the weight but you will have time to do other things you enjoy also. You are doing a great job , keep it up. :)

Hi I usually don't count those calories. I do those things everyday as a mom and wife. I only log if i go for a long walk or run or go to the gym. I feel your heart rate has to be consistently elevated to count as cardio. Hope this helps.

Great job, now help the rest of become lean mean fighting machines. What was your workout like lifting and cardio wise?

First congratulations on your weight loss and those inches. Every manufacture cuts pants differently. I have pants in my closet with 3 different sizes. They all fit but different sizes no less. The more expensive the pants the smaller size you will fit into . The cheaper the pants the larger the size. Why,:smile: I don't…

I am in this. More girls to beat you guys. SW 117 (SAT) 4/2/11 Week 1 -

My weakness is crunchy Doritos, corn chips, popcorn. I find if I don't buy it I can't it eat it. It is not easy, just continue to eat right the rest of the day. You are only human. :smile:
