I'm 5'3" 169 I eat 1350

I too have been a smoker for 20 years and I do aerobics 5 times a week and dont have a problem. All the extra weight I was hauling around made me more short of breath than the smoking does. I will quit at some point just not ready yet. Good luck!!

ok so the cals burned is total....daily life and living...ok got it Now for logging.....if I do 30 mins of aerobics and burn 200 cals I wouldnt think I would log that because fitbit will have already recorded 200 cals burned right? Oh who knew this little thing could be so confusing!!

anyone?

LOL what have you been smoking????? Just kidding! At least we know what is on your mind!

oh yea...I did....so I wont eat back my excersise calories. DUH!!

Anyone???

Thanks so much for the responses! I havent quite decided if I am going to try this yet. I really am scared to death to up my calories sooooo much, I cant imagine how much I will gain by doing so. It just freaks me out to do this and gain5 pounds when I will just have to turn around and lose those 5 pounds when I have…

Double stuffed Oreos Homemade Chocolate Chip cookies Chocolate cake with Chocolate buttercream frosting I havent had any "junk" food in about 3 months. I would prob go into a coma if I decided to have some now.

The last guy I dated we slept together on the first date and 13 years later we are still sleeping together :)

When I walk past a mirror and have to back up and do a double take because the person with the skinny face just CANT BE ME!! Then I have to touch my face just to make sure it really is me.

I find that I have my good days and my bad days. Some days food is all I ever think about. Other days food is not on my mind. I think it is a learning process that takes awhile to learn. Losing weight for me has been 80% mental. It has been interesting to "watch" my mind go through the changing process, it is happening…

I also want to know. I am DETERMINED to lose mine! It is truly the only thing I HATE about my body!!!

Thanks for all the answers I figured it was because I have lost so much weight in such a short period of time. I am sure everything will return to normal when my weight loss slows or I am done losing. Thanks again!

I havent had any support from my family other than my husband and my son. If I say something to my parents they just say oh good. lol

My goal is to be at my goal weight (140) by Oct 1st. so come Christmas I should be maintaining nicly. It will be nice not to be embarressed to have my pic taken at Christmas.

Nope nothing at all. I do try and eat about 90% clean though. I exercise 5 or 6 days a week for about an hour.

I am 5'3" 180 pounds...I am in a size 12 right now, so I would guess that at 160-170 I will be able to fit in a 10. I also have a dress I bought at the beggining of my journey that is a size 10....it will be a happy day when I can wear it! Good luck!!

This is basicly what we do.....We have a garden and grow most of our veggies....I then can them myself (yes the old fashion way), we also raise and butcher our own meat, cows, pigs, turkey, chicken. We also have chickens for eggs. I buy little from a store, mainly just basics, bread, butter, snacks, etc. Its a great way to…

I am actually in my 7th week and I have lost 28 pounds and last I checked (almost a month ago) I have lost 22.5 inches...starting weight 215.8...current weight 187.4 and went from a size 18 us to a size 12us

Yea but see that is a very bad example of this. You didnt not only starve yourself you were feeding yourself bad food. A person can not live off of mashed potatos and apple juice...duh of course you were starving and weak!! I do not believe in the starvation mode thing either WHEN you are eatting healthy, good food. I tend…

I lost my first 28 pounds in 6 weeks so I expect to lose the next 22 in the next 7 weeks to 11 weeks. Which would be a total of 13 to 17 weeks to lose 50 pounds. It all depends on my rate of lose per week. I've been losing between 2 and 3 pounds a week so as long as that keeps up. I am 38, eatting low cal and low carb and…

All the above...although #2 I am still fat and still have 45 pounds to lose.

YES! At the beginning of my journey I was wearing a size 18. I found a dress I really liked and bought it in a size 10. I havent worn a dress in about 20 years but have always liked them but I always look like I was wearing a tent so I didnt wear them. So my first MAJOR goal will be to fit into that size 10 dress. I am…

I had kinda the same thing happen....worked out hard yesterday and I am really sore today so I had no intention on going to the gym today...well guess what...I am leaving for the gym in an hour...simply because I want to and I can!!!! Great NSV!! Congrats on yours!!!

You look great! Good Job!

ok I like that too...now I dont know what to do...... but your the hairdresser, so I ought to take your advice. I like low mantaince. I dont like my bangs in my fae so I think the shorter ones would be better. oh gezz you would think I was making so huge choice here...I guess I am it is my hair after all!!! Thanks…
