Thanks for your encouragements..it's funny because i have NEVER looked back at how far i have come....i tend to avoid seeing my old photos but after your post, i actually went to look for my photos from when i was at my heaviest...and now i feel like i cannot believe I was the same person. So, you are right, i should give…

Hi aeschor, first of all, thank you SO MUCH for such a long and thoughtful response in efforts to try to help me. I truly appreciate it. Now, onto what you said. I am actually thinking about lifting weights soon...am currently trying to find a trainer to help me. I do rather look like 110 than actually being 110 and still…

Hello! My end goal is 110lbs. But I am more concerned about how my body looks...i feel flabby really flabby in my mid section and thighs

Thanks for the advice ladies! I will start weighing my food tonight. I do always load up on veggies for lunch and dinner though...at least 50% of my plate is vegatables because i know it can make me feel fuller for less calories.
-
Thanks ASKyle! MFP gives me 1200 calories but I eat back some of the calories I burn from working out. Most of the days i eat about 1400 calories and 1800 would be more like a "cheat day"... I had tried weighing my food before but i felt that whenever I had to weigh my foods, i was "restricting too much" because I couldn't…

Thanks Jmaytes..that is my problem too..im so obsessed with the scale I step on it EVERY TIME i go to the bathroom...i have tried hiding the scale but after like 3 days i would climb all the way to the top of my closet to get it. Thanks for the tip on the switching my training. I will try adding more HIIT workout into my…

Thanks lemurcat..I will try to be patient and give it time. It's just very hard to stay motivated when you feel like you're doing all you can and the scale just keeps going up. I do think i am PMSing so i hope that my weight will go back down soon..

Thanks for your reply wizzybeth, I eat anywhere between 1300 to 1800 calories per day. And I drink TONS of water...to the point where when my coworker sees me with my water bottles, they would say "you can drawn in that"....specifically...i drink at least 80oz of water a day. I'm not on my period but i THINK i may be…

so once i start working out again, i'm going to gain weight most likely?
-
Thanks, sounds like this could be a reason.
-
Ok, maybe that's what it is. I eat out quite often and i always try to stay conscious of the calories, just didn't think about the sodium part.

I'm short but i wouldn't say extremely? lol (i'm 5'1")

i am guilty for being addicted to Diet Coke....
-
I usually am a little over 1200, but i try not to eat back the exercise calories. I meant 1200 was the goal that was set by MFP.

thanks for the suggestion, but sadly, i don't belong to a YMCA :(
-
Thank you!! I couldn't figure out what SS was so i just disregarded that one (I'm so new to this and don't know any of the abbreviations lol) I will check this out as well!
-
Thank you so much! I will read through the posts on this group to get more familiar
-
Thanks again for all the great advices! I guess i will have to bring a note book since my iphone won't download that Jefit app for some reason. I chose to read about the NROL4W because it says it's for women...(though maybe the Stronglifts 5X5 are just as good?) I just read through the ebook version of the NROL4W and i'm…

Thanks for everyone's response. This might be a dumb question, but how do you guys follow a routine from a book? Do you take the book with you to the weight room and then do the routine one by one? Or do you have to memorize what you need to do? (I just feel intimidated since I never see anyone at the gym carrying a book…
