I generally eat less than 1200 cals a day and its safe for me ... the whole 1200 is a complete myth anyway!! It all depends on your height, weight, muscle mass and many other metabolic factors.. Anyway, i would still run. Just listen to your body. If you get shaky, lightheaded etc then that's your body telling you…

I am 5'2" and my ultimate goal is around 115-120lbs! I have a tiny frame tho so I know this is ok for me. After i get to 120lbs i will make my goal my body fat rather than weight alone. Being small sucks :( We really do get the short end of the stick as we burn less during exercise, have a lower BMR and thus have to…

Yup you did and its awesome ;)

^^this exactly! I have had mine stripped out twice. I have another one appearing but I would not go through the surgery again! I will keep the unsightly veins thanks!! If you are prone to them then there is a chance they will just come back! Depending on the vein they can be lazer treated, it just depends on your vein. It…

Well, I am currently in hospital being fasted for various tests!! I have been told by various doctors and consultants that I should be eating 800 cals or a maximum of 1000 cals per day! But eat quality food and not empty calories! I am 5'2" and am being tested for metabolic syndromes! So maybe on occasion the advice…

My boss!! Since I had my baby he keeps saying "wow there is definitely MORE of you now" and "eating again?". Even if I am having salad for lunch or a piece of fruit at my desk! Damn I still need to eat!! grrrrr

Yes understood.. But not everyone on here has lots to lose!! The difference between 2 women both 5'4" both weighing 140lbs, 1 with a body fat% of 30 and the other with a body fat% of 20 can have a difference in BMR of around 150cals. Over the course of a week the extra cals = 1050. These are the calories the fatter one is…
-
I really wish everyone would just let everyone else get on with what works for them!! The other point that many people seem to forget about is the other many factors that make people different. Health issues, exercise restrictions, metabolic syndromes, body composition and how much weight the person needs to lose etc. You…

Well said :D

I have my daily goal set to 1400 before exercise. However I was merely making a point that the calculation is not accurate especially for people on the lower end of short! :)
-
If I put my numbers into your calculation I get 948cals, before deducting the 20% (unless i am calculating it wrong, so please correct me if i am) I have 88lbs of lbm. Target weight of 110 and typically eat around 50grams of carbs daily. (athough occasionally raise this to 80) Even still it doesn't come close to 1200!! Go…

This was my sister in law for years! She was always skinny and could eat anything..... well until she was diagnosed with an OVERactive Thyroid! Doctor told her it had probably been slightly over for years and it was only after she had a baby that it was noticed. She didn't have any other symptoms apart from staying so…

*speechless* at some of the above comments....Basically the answer to your question is YES! *i'm off to throw my laptop out of the window!!!* And we wonder why there is so much obesity!
-
I am sorry I can't offer any advice. I use bio oil but it doesn't really make any difference to the marks, just makes my skin soft. At my heaviest i was only 140lbs, i have had 3 babies and i also have crazy stretchmarks EVERYWHERE! I guess it just depends on your skin type. I have tried many different treatments but…

A tablespoon of sesame oil and a tablespoon of sesame seeds on top of a bed of rocket :) Tastes great! If you have the cals a spoon of honey while cooking makes it sticky :)

Hey, Do they kinda flare out at the bottom? Have you had any kids? Mine flare out but thats because i have had 3 big babies and i am only 5'2" lol Unfortunately even at my smallest my ribs still stick out! :( I am guessing this is what you mean by them going down? So NO I doubt they will change! x
