Me too

You are future me!! Lol. Very inspiring and great pics! Comgratulations

5'1" here - I've been on and off MFP for a long time now. Mostly off as my recent weight gain has shown me. I feel like I'm ready to be real now and love reading this thread - so much more relatable than my 5'8" friends. Feel free to add

Hi - I'm starting again after many other starts before. Would love some friends to do this with. I've never been very active on boards or anything so I'm thinking I should maybe switch that up a bit! :)

Just turned 51 and just starting *again*. Great to see success at our stage. Very inspirational!

You look great!

Hi- just joined. I started on 1/1 and hope that this is the time I actually complete it! Hopefully being a part of this group will help with the motivation to stay on track.

Thanks - I used the Fat2Fit site to get mine - I just feel so unsure if I did it correctly - I guess time will tell :)

Be able to wear my rings comfortably again, single digit clothing sizes, be comfortable in my own skin - preferable less of it... :laugh:

Mine was a slight variation - I wanted to try almond milk, so I kept it simple - just almond milk, strawberries and a banana...loved it. This was the first time I have used almond milk - gotta say I liked it a lot.

Did it!

Hi I'm Reni. I've been a member since 2012, but this will be the first time I really commit - firstly by joining a challenge like this :) I need to stop half-assing this and get real about it. I have been doing zumba twice a week for 8 months now, and my class will be expanding to include piloxing soon. I also do some home…

That's disappointing - got all excited for nothing....if I had ever done one before I would start a new one for all of us "late to the party" people :cry:

I'm here too - mostly log on my phone so I don't always see the boards, but please feel free to add me too

Water girl, Em, and Stephie -- Thanks!!! I started today with the switch and feel much better about it after seeing your responses

Has anyone opted to set their calorie goals according to F2F and then just not log their exercise? I am thinking that if I do that, all I have to worry about is meeting my calorie goal every day, and not worry about doing the math involved with eating back exercise calories. ( I also don't have an hrm, so this seems the…

:love:

Just checking: BMR 1313 Dail Cal (from Chart on fattofitradio) 1961 TDEE (from TDEE Calculator) 2321 I should aim for 1961, don't go under 1313 and don't go over 2321 Is this correct?

keep at it if you enjoy it - after a while you get the hang of it - until then, you will feel veeerrrrryyyyy uncoordinated, but I swear eventually you will get it!! I love it!

I don't think its small or sad! Congratulations!!!

I am starting today too, so I'd love to join your group!

Reading this has helped me understand - I had the same confusion, and I think I have it now. Never under BMR, eat back exercise....I've definitely been doing it wrong! Thank you

Thank you! So, would this be correct? If my BMR is 1395, and I burn 400 calories exercising, that day I should eat somewhere between 1395 and 1795? I was originally set at 1200 calories and that doesn't seem to be working for me so I am trying to figure this out - it seems to work for alot of people! After reading…

Feather - NSV = Non-Scale Victory I'm in - NSV - I can wear my jeans all day without dying to take them off CW-179 GW -129 4/1 4/8 4/15 4/22 4/30

Pretty much all of the above! boots, bikini, cute dresses, smaller jeans, the stuff I already have in my closet....I want to be able to pick out something because I feel like wearing it, and not because of what it will cover up. I miss those days...and I'm going to get them back! I'm in with the shorties - 5'1" :smile:

Haha - love it! Sent a request :laugh:

Love it! You just inspired me to write my first post and thank you for posting 'during' pics. We have similar stats, so to see how great you look just partway in in very encouraging! :smile:
