If you have been diagnosed with EDnos I hope your being seen at a good clinic with its own multidisciplinary team (most likely consisting of medical docs, therapists, and nutritionists). Trust them enough to ask them the hard questions. Trust that they have your health and happiness in mind. Good luck in your journey to…

Hey! It's about the effort not the total. This number is much, much, MUCH higher then I would ever normally run. But I figured it's best to shoot for the stars right? Each mile takes us closer to better health!

Totally makes since. Thx Oishii!

I totally have "cheat" days. However, my definition of a cheat meal is something totally unhealthy with ALOT more calories then I would normally eat during the week (ie, fast food without the healthier option or non-healthy option at a restaurant). However, I usually try to workout harder that day to help compensate for…

I have a garmin forerunner and love it for running. Very accurate!

Thx holizki! Thanks for joining us! I'll add u to alpha team :).

I feel your pain. No one has noticed the 12 pounds I've lost since Christmas, not even my fiance! But he sees me every day so I guess it would be harder for him to notice. On the plus side, the thinks I'm perfect at any weight!

I love, love, LOVE that there is a thread for us "fun sized" folk. Found a few groups but they don't seem to be very active. Anyways, I'm 4'11.5" and have been trying to get back into my pre-baby body in time for the wedding this summer. Never had problems with weight before the baby but things seem tougher afterwords.…

I'm 4'11.5" and know what everyone means that every pound or half a pound means something completely different for us vertically challenged individuals. Not that I would give up being short for anything. I love it! Though a few more inches would make reaching some things easier... or running distances easier as well! I…

Psychologist and Mom

Not a military wife... am in the military however. I know how hard it can be to lose weight as a shorty. I'm all of 4' 11" and some change. Add me if you would like some extra motivation towards your goals. Good luck!

Healthy Choice have these "Top Chef" inspired steamers that are totally yummy! AND they seem to have bigger portions then other low cal frozen dinners I've seen.

I've looked into this quite a bit and ACMA recommends a minimum of 1200 calorie intake (that's intake not net) to ensure adequate nutrition when trying to lose weight. The concern is malnutrition not starvation (two totally different concepts... one can be overweight and malnurished). Of course, that's a minimum. If you…

I'm a little over 2 inches shorter then you and MFP has me set on 1200 cal as well because it's the lowest recommended amount. But that doesn't take height really into consideration. 1200 cal benchmark is ment to ensure your getting proper nutrition. So be sure to eat good foods with variety! I don't usually eat my…

Wow! What a fighter you are. First cancer, and now weight loss. It sounds like you're making great progress already. Feel free to add me if you would like additional support on your journey!

Lol. I love mangos and fresh berries. I always make sure the house is stocked with fruit. I think the problem is he finds baking to be stress releaving AND thinks is a wonderful way to express affection. And he knows I have a weekness for baked goods...

MFP only gives me 1200 as well. Certain websites say you can safely drop below that, the concern relates to malnutrition if you do. That being said, everyone's body is different. Saying 1200 is the minimum is silly when you think of all the different body types and heights out there. Do what feels right to you or consult a…

Erika, I feel your pain. I have a demanding job and a young toddler. What I've started doing is preplanning my workouts and meals for the next day on my phone app. That way I'm more likely follow the plan because then I would have to "face myself" when I delete the items. I've also started waking up an hour earlier in the…

I have the same problem. My fiance expresses his love with food. My answer is to moderate the amount I eat of what he brings me and to increase my exercise to counter the calories.

Nights and weekends are killer for me! My only answer so far is distractors that take me far away from the kitchen so I won't be tempted to make the "long" journey down for a snack. And when I do make the journey, I try not to take anything back. I also try to get extra exercise in on days that I know I will be tempted…

I hate that I'm on the 1200 calorie diet too... even worse that I will only be able to lose something like 1.5 pounds in 5 weeks with this calorie load!! Darn having a sedentary job and being a shortie! Lol! Please feel free to add me.

My 18 month on daughter LOVES that pig. She will stop whatever she's doing to stare at the tv when he comes on. Lol!

Glad so many of you are in. We can cheer each other on towards our goal!

Great job Christadegroo!!

I was thinking of seperating into randomly assigned running team of about four or five members. That way everyone can get lots of support and structure to make it through to the end. I'm thinking weekly check in's with me, and I'll keep a running total of everyone's mileage on the main page, and whatever check in methods…

Staying under the calorie goal for the day sounds like a GREAT challenge! Let's all blow it out of the water!

Don't know where they got this seasons bunch. But I agree that these two are the worse. Don't even want to watch the rest of the season at this point and I LOVE the show!

Wow luvvbugg3! Sounds like you've made amazing progress! I hope to have as much will power as you have!
