If you are lifting, I would suggest eating at maintenance at least so you can build those muscles. At 5'3" and 113lbs, I would say that you don't want to be losing any more weight at all. I would even suggest putting weight on, which lifting might very well do. Don't stress if it does by the way, as you should be going…

Don't know if someone has already posted this, but this website is good. http://sizes.darkgreener.com/ You enter your measurements and it gives you an idea of what size you will be in the different stores.

It's taken me a year to lose 35lbs, which could be considered slow. I could probably have lost faster if I ate less or exercised more, but I'm happy with my progress. It might be slow going, but at least it *is* going :smile:

I would say you need to start eating your exercise calories back. Also, if you are only 15lbs from goal, you might need to change your goal calorie deficit to only 1/2lb a week (if you haven't already!). The closer you get to goal, the closer to maintenance you should set your calorie requirements. Good luck :flowerforyou:

According to the ticker on your profile, you are only aiming to lose around 7kg. Taking this into consideration, you should have your calorie goal set to lose 1/2lb a week at most. This will give you more calories to eat and mean that you aren't as hungry. Try adding in strength training if you aren't already doing it, as…

I've only quickly looked at your diary, but you should be aiming to NET your goal calories. So you should have a net of 1700 at the end of the day. If you exercise, you need to eat those calories back. MFP already builds a deficit into your calorie goal, so making more of a deficit by not eating back those calories can…

At your weight, you should have a deficit of no more than 1/2lb a week, or maybe even at maintenance if you are strength training. The closer you get to your goal weight, the smaller the deficit you should have.

What is your goal weight? I'm guessing it won't be a whole lot below what you are currently at. The 2lbs a week setting is for people who have 50+lbs to lose really. The less you have to lose, the less of a deficit you should try to make. I believe that it is better to lose weight slowly and healthily and keep it off,…

The closer you get to your goal weight, the less of a deficit you should have. Therefore the number of calories that you can eat will increase. If you are only looking to lose another 4lbs, then you should be at 1/2lb deficit at most, and you might even find you still lose if you set MFP to maintenance in all fairness.…

To those who are saying that 1700 is high for a 5'8" woman... I am a 5'3" woman, and I eat around 1900 each day with an average net of about 1700. Over the last four weeks I've lost just under 6lbs, nearly half a stone. You don't have to eat next to nothing to lose weight. To the OP... I wouldn't lower your calorie count,…

You could use this to demotivate you from spending: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/demotivator/ :smile: But other than that, like others have said, track every single thing you spend down to the last penny. Work out a budget and stick to it. If you have annual bills, work out how much they would cost if you were…

Love it! I'm a level 25 Ranger - halfway there! :happy:

I still get this feeling from time to time, even though I am eating enough calories throughout the day (1900 daily). In fact it happened two days in a row last week, both times after having a cinnamon bagel just after lunch, but that could be a coincidence. It doesn't happen all the time, but often enough that I'm…

I'm looking forward to Monday in my department as it's sweet & savoury day... 15 people each bringing in enough food for at least 15 people! It's going to be an awesome feast! :happy: I reckon we'll all be sorted for lunch for the whole of the week :laugh:

I'm not vegetarian, but I do have meat-free days. Like farway, it just happens that way sometimes. I do like some of the Quorn things though - the Lemon & Black Pepper escalope, and the peppered steak. I also really like the Tesco Meat-free range, especially the Lincolnshire Sausage and the cheese and spring onion bakes…

Just thought I'd let you all know that the masterclass on Saturday was awesome and I had an amazing time! I even got "volunteered" by my instructor to talk on camera and say what I love about Krav! Eek! I'm sure I looked like a fool, but I don't care! It was a brilliant day and I met some amazing people! :happy:

Because I'm just not the relationship type apparently. I get so far along, then either they turn out to be a **** who cheats on me, or I get bored and realise that they aren't "the one". :ohwell: I'm now choosing to stay single and live for myself, though I still sometimes allow my heart to get stamped on occasionally…

Think I've been lucky in my online gaming overall. I see websites like notinthekitchenanymore or fatuglyorslutty and realise that I've not had anything near as bad as some of that! I've had one guy stalk me through several vent channels simply because I was female, and others that just wanted to hear me sigh :huh: , but I…

I met my last boyfriend through EvE Online originally. We were together for about 3 1/2 years and played other games together too, including WoW (which I introduced him to). Neither of us had been looking for a relationship at the time but it just sort of happened.

I've already got it pre-installed!! :heart: I played this game to death back in the day, and I'm all ready to lose myself in it again now :laugh:

Haha! Since I started living alone again, my clean laundry tends to take up the ex-partners space on the bed :laugh: So glad to hear I'm not the only one that does this sort of thing! :tongue:

Yes, I'm in a KMG club. I'm glad I've got so long until the grading though, as it will give me a lot of time to prepare and I'm sure that I'll feel more than ready by then! I'm just nervous about making a fool of myself at this masterclass, but I'm sure I'll be fine once I get there :smile:

Congratulations! :drinker: I'm planning on going for P1 when the gradings next come around, but I think my instructor said that it wouldn't be until April now.

Hi all, Not long joined the group, but I've been training in Krav since July this year. Absolutely love it! Going to the master class down in London with Eyal Yanilov and Tomasz Adamczyk on Saturday! Feeling slightly scared as not entirely sure what to expect, but overall can't wait!! :bigsmile:

I have. I was always a programmer at heart, but due to various circumstances haven't got the "required" pieces of paper, and ended up in an admin position for many years. The way I got out of it was to take an admin job in a computer based company, then applied for a programming job when it came up. They took a chance on…

I'm afraid I don't think I will be much help as such, as we are in such different places weight-wise, but just wanted to say well done on taking the first step and getting the ball rolling. :flowerforyou:

I've lost 30lbs since starting in January. I'm 5'3", I started at 188, I'm currently down to 158, and my goal is 132. I've been eating at maintenance for my goal weight since April. It's taken longer than if I'd been eating at the default that MFP gave me, but that doesn't bother me as I'm still dropping dress sizes and…

I remember "yonks" was a word I used a lot when I was a kid, as in "I haven't heard anyone say that in yonks" :smile: And "dude", and "yo"... still use them with some of my friends... guess we never grew out of them lol

You check to make sure that any place you are going on holiday to has wifi so you don't miss a day. And if it doesn't, you research the local area to find a wifi spot! :laugh:
