Congrats! You look great!

Here here! I have a 4 and 7 yo, i also travel for work that adds to the crazy!

It's all about tracking food and the correct calorie burn estimate. I lost when I ran my first 2 last year. Actually I got to the point where I was losing too much and I was always tired. My advice, calculate your TDEE, don't eat too much below it to limit the risk of injury. If you have a HRM, use it to calculate your…

Yay! Congrats! Hope you rock those size six jeans!

If you are trying to lose weight, then obviously diet will play a big part in that. It's all about moderation, I never gave up any foods. I just only had them on certain days.

I bought clothes to fit at that time if I was going to be wearing them alot. Honestly, I wouldn't buy the dress if you don't think you will wear it until summer. I made that mistake a few times and shrunk right through those. I only lost 30 lbs but it was 2 sizes for me. I have been on maintenence for about 6 months now…

Your nursing, working out and only eating 1400-1600 calories? I think you need to up your calories. I am 5'3 and 130. I started at 160. I lost the majority of my weight when exercising and making sure my daily NET calories was right above my BMR and I wasn't breastfeeding.

Wow! You look awesome!

Bump! I actually try to get anything 100 g but I am interested in the replies.

There are so many for me.. The first time I ran 2 miles without stopping, I text my husband and told him :drinker: My first 5k, I was so worried that I couldn't run the whole thing, I refused to let my husband/ kids go. I did run it all. Time was 31 mins :) My last 5k last year. It was a really hilly one and my time was 26…

I don't travel as much as you but when I do. I measure out 2 scoops of protein and put in snack bags. I pack my shaker cups and have my protein and grab fruit at the hotel. I typically eat/drink that while I am getting ready in the morning. I try to get something semi healthy for lunch/dinner. I am a huge fan of…

It does seem a little high. When I did Insanity, I set my base calories in here for my TDEE -10%. I also had a HRM and are back my calories, I am 5'3, 130 lbs. TDEE - roughly 10% is 1550. My TDEE is around 1700 (since I had a boring desk job) and the first month videos burned around 350 calories. I ate at between 1900 and…

I would hold off. March 10th isn't that far off. Wait until after the 10k then you can start combing the 2.

I work from my home office. I am also a mom of 2 therefore joining a gym would take away from my family time since I typically work around 50 hrs a week and the closest gym in 15 mins away. I chose to workout at lunch. I am a runner as well so it's easy for me to lace up and run! I have also done Insanity/P90x and it works…

It's actually pretty accurate for me!

I am going to be stealing this. I am 5'3 and 130. People that haven't seen me in awhile make comments. I tend to carry my weight in my butt/ thighs and I lost a ton up top including my face. I am maintaining and have been for the 5 months. I am hoping over time the comments go away! If people don't let the topic of my loss…

Awesome!!! Yay you! :drinker: Bumping so more folks read. I love to eat, food is not the enemy!!

I lost a lot of boobs. I went from a 34c to a 32B. Lifting had perked them back up though. :drinker:

I am 5'3. I am at goal now and maintaining. I started out at 159 and my initial goal was 140. When I got there I changed it to 135 then 130. My advice, set your goal at 140 then change if you feel like when you get there. I am very happy with 130. To me it was hard to not keep losing but I knew it was time to stop when I…

When I was losing, I set my daily calories just above my BMR and logged exercise to eat back my calories. I didn't log everything but I have an office job and honestly didn't do much real activity besides exercise. I tend to work a lot!

I am 5'3 and 130 now but below are my measurements around 130. Chest isn't in there because I didn't need it to track body fat but I would guess u was 34. Weight: 141.4 Waist belly button: 31 Waist smallest:29.5 Thighs: 23.75 Left calf: 15 Right Calf:15.25 Hips:36.5 Bicepts: 11 Neck: 13

I Agee!

Great news!

When I was trying to lose, I weighed daily. Now in maintenance, I weigh in 1 or 2 days a week but I can't tell you the last time I recorded on MFP.

I have thought about it a few times. I went from a 36C to a 33B when I lost 30 lbs. I am afraid of surgery so I never took the plunge. Honestly, I would try lifting first. I am starting my 3rd month of p90x and in 2 months, mine have perked up from all the push-ups. They may be small but the your perfect even after 2 kids…

I take whey after a workout and on lifting days, I will add casein before bed. I don't think it's a man/ woman thing. I don't take soy because of have heard and read that too much soy is bad for you and whey is easier to digest.

Wow! Great story, thank you for sharing! I ran 2 halfway this year as well. I love new running friends, feel free to add me :)

One of those is my MIL! Man, that says a lot about her on so many levels

Well said! (((Hugs)))) Please tell him what you told us and that you will not put up with it! You deserve to be treated better

Watching Rockin NYE show with my 6 yo and 4 yo. They are attempting to stay up til the ball drops. This should be interesting :drinker:
