You look soooo good! Congratulations! You are doing a great job!

I was looking at your profile too and I think 110 is a little low for 5'2". I'm 5" even and I would look sickly if I were to go that low! 125 puts me in a size 4 which is pretty healthy and muscular. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Calorie Counter

I work out Monday-Friday doing 45 min of cardio plus squats, push ups, and crunches. On the weekend I usually do some type of walking depending on my cals for the day. My b/f and I usually go bike riding a couple of times a week too. Every other day really isn't enough...especially when you don't really have a lot to lose.…

I only went 206 cals over my goal but I skipped breakfast and dinner! :grumble: So I went that far over with just lunch and a snack...I tried to do some exercise but I'm not sure how much it helped bc it was storming and I only did a little inside. I'm starving right now! I'm not used to not having dinner!...I told myself…

Good Job!...I can't wait until I hit 10 lbs! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Food Diary

I went over today too! No big deal...I'll just make sure to stay on track the rest of the week and maybe do some extra cardio this week! It happens to alllll of us so don't feel too bad!:happy: :happy: And Welcome! The people here really help you stay on track and they offer some great advice! Created by MyFitnessPal.com -…

Thanks everybody! I'm glad I'm not the only one who fell off the wagon! ... I did what you said and did a bunch of crunches and cleaned the house. I'm not sure how it will affect my week but I guess I'll see on Friday! Thank you again...I feel a lot better!

So...we all know that holidays are super hard. I went 225 calories over on Friday bc I went out with some friends that I only see a few times a year but I got back on track for Saturday. Then today...Easter...I decided that I wasn't going to worry about calories, I was just going to enjoy the time with my family and not…

I wish I had that problem!...my boobs are big for my short stature and it makes me look even bigger than I am!...I hate it!

Well I'm only 5 feet tall and 22 years old. I'm still young and very athletic. I just gained some weight during my 4 years in college and thought that it would be nice to get back to the weight on my driver's license. 125lbs is still technically overweight for my height!

I also have the problem of not always eating all of my calories...today for example. I can NEVER eat all of my exercise calories. I don't really try to force it when I'm not hungry. Today I've had breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack and I still have 728 calories left!...it is 7:00 in the evening and I hate eating…

I LOVE alligator! I used to have it once a week or so...I'm trying to cut down bc it is usually fried. So good though!

Well even though I'm sure that you are making more progress than you think the key is to know that you are living a healthier lifestyle and making long term changes! Sometimes it just takes longer for some people! And to have 3 kids I think you are doing great! Just keep up the hard work and make sure that you are…

Hi! I have a few questions about numbers that I should be looking for. I understand how calories work but I'm not sure about what is too much sugar or sodium...or how much fiber I should be getting?...or does it differ with how much you weigh?..I'm just really not sure! Any suggestions? Thanks! Created by MyFitnessPal.com…

I've seen a few people say not to get on the scale after you workout...why?...that is when I normally do it so I was just wondering how it may affect the number on the scale? Thanks! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

[ and never weigh yourself after you excersize (so if you are a morning workout-er, do it before!). Why not after you work out?

Today makes a week for me since joining and I've only lost 1lb...I was pretty active before I started MFP and watched what I ate...I've just been at a stand still for a year or so! I'm just trying to get the ball rolling again! Plus MFP really helps you see how active you really are and what you really eat. Sometimes we…

I completely agree! You may be staying within the right number of calories but if it is all junk food then most likely you are still hungry and your weight loss will be much slower!...Plus if you are working out regularly then you need the energy from "real" food! It is one of my major weaknesses also!

I also agree! I only eat my exercise calories if I'm really hungry or need evergy...I don't want to think that I work out just so I can indulge myself later...that mindset can't be healthy!

I didn't mean to post that many times!!! Anyway...I do that too! so instead of feeling awkward while everyone else is drinking away I just drink two glasses of water between each beer...I think drinking something makes me forget that I'm not drinking beer!

Fri 04/03/09 06:41 PMthats awesome it sure makes you feel good doesn't it? and it really inspires you!! It really does make me feel good!

I just started MFP and really trying to lose weight almost a week ago and I haven't even been on a scale to see if I've actually lost any weight yet...and today two people that I haven't seen in a while told me I look like I'm losing weight! They didn't even have a clue that I was trying to lose weight! I haven't told…

HI! I'm Delaina and I just joined myfitnesspal! I'm graduating college in a month and I want to lose a few pounds to give me the confidence and energy I'll need to perform myjob well in the working world!...If I ever get a job in this economy that is!
