I'm 5'3" too and my diary is public! I have lost 32 so far but I still have 45 or so to go. Feel free to add me.

I'm a single Mom but my kids are a bit older... My days are like this up at 7 to get every moving, somedays earlier. Take them to camp, at work by 8 or 9. Work till 3 or 4. Get home, take the dog out for his nightly hour or hour and a half power walk or run walk. Dinner made and to the gym by 6 or 7. Hopefully I'm in there…

To be honest some days I do others not even close. I try to stagger my calories so I keep my metabolism guessing. I have heard if you consistantly eat the same and lose your body will adjust to that level. I don't know how true that is but it seems to work for me. I also don't let myself get hungry, makes me crabby.

I searched this online the other day... The answer I got was no. However, I use a HRM and when I workout outside my heartrate is higher and I personally burn more calories. I would say that makes it a yes. All your systems have to work harder in 100 degree weather. I know if I walk the dog at 70 it is less of a burn than…

That sucks! Use it a fuel and take it to the gym! That always makes me feel better when someone says or does something negative. :happy:

Ok, so my net cals are at 377 today. I know this sounds unreasonable however, I simply could not fit any thing else. I did think about adding in a serving of peanut butter just to get something in. I had a large and healthy dinner and am stuffed. I don't do this every day but it does happen sometimes. I am a busy single…

I am a busy single Mom who didn't bother to take the time to take care of herself and I love to eat.

Yay! You just explained 5*5 sets for me! I was told to do that and had no idea what it meant. I've been using something similar with the body for life lifting.

I don't know if you're the only one but... how very interesting. Welcome, there are so many people from all over on here. I bet you'll find others.

Welcome! You're gonna love it! I have met some of the best people here, super supportive and they all know what you're going thru!

HI! Find something active you love to do or you have to do. I have a dog so even when I don't want to... I have to walk him. Also I got a gym membership and I hate to waste money!!! so I use it. I'm a single Mom so I know all about stress, I found my workouts help a bit.

Bumb! I hope someone answers. I would love to know

Try taking glucosamine. I have heard that combined with Omegas work wonders. I need to do this myself because I can hear my knees grind when I do squats. Years of working on my feet. Also I would reduce trigger foods like tomatoes. There's a list on line some where. My sister has come leaps and bounds using these methods.

Wow 100 days and 50 pounds is really amazing! Congrats

You look amazing!

I'm a shorty! 5 3.5. LOL yes I must add the .5 Feel free to add me. I try to be supportive.

Woo hoo! Good Job!

I have the Bodymedia fit and I love it! It tells me how MY body burns calories and doesn't rely on the basic data of a age, ht, wt, and so on. It does mesure how you sleep. I also have the one with the blue tooth so I can view my activity all day. I do wish it worked with MFP like the Fitbit though. I don't care for the…

great job!

I don't have any pics but I can tell you it works! I don't remember ever having so many muscle aches from a work out:bigsmile:
