  • dang I just took the frame type test. I thought I was medium framed but it turns out I'm small-framed! That means my goal should be even smaller haha;;; I'm only 23 so its possible for me to muster up the energy to get there. I'll keep my goal 140 still and then I'll make a new goal of 118-131 range after I achieve this one
  • I'm 5' 5.5" I want to be anywhere between 128 lbs to 145 lbs I set my MFP goal to 140 lbs and once I get there I'll figure out where to go from there! I /think/ I have a medium size frame and from what I can tell my hips will always be pretty wide no matter how much weight i lose. I also want to be semi-muscular, so I put…
  • The thing is this isn't some fab diet that I googled to come up with. I am a junkfood vegan. I eat breads, chips, french fries, microwave dinners, sodas. My diet is 100% processed foods right now. Beans, Rice, fruits and Veggies are what vegans are SUPPOSE to eat, but I haven't been doing so. I selected those as my foods…
  • I'm still stuck in the 180s D: I cant WAIT to get out of them! Congrats! I'm right behind you!
  • As a Vegan I would never touch red meat lol... Ah well the reason I ask if we should eat more calories is cuz our body will be burning a lot of calories pushing this stuff out of us right?
  • No no those calories are not for maintaining weight. I've done the math for myself and the calories myfitnesspal sets up for you is toward weight loss to whatever the setting you had aka "I want to lose _ pounds a week" The recommended amount is 1 pound a week, which is what i selected but it gives other options like 1/2 a…
  • You will lose extra weight if you DON'T eat them, but it doesn't hurt to eat a few of them. I usually avoid eating them but sometimes I do some of them.
  • Do some stretches! http://www.womenfitness.net/top10_everyday_stretches.htm Get a hand gripper, you can work out your fore-arms with one of those at least. Walk around the store when you have the chance. Standing does burn more calories. At work I do nothing but stand for 8 hours straight ringing people's orders making…
  • You'll notice small changes over time. Though I've not lost much weight since I started this, 2 years ago I did lose 30 pounds [and gained it all back]. Within that 30 pounds I lost, over time I noticed my face got thinner, My pants were falling down unless I wore a belt, My arms looked thinner, I could fit into smaller…
  • I'm also 5' 5.5" ! I'm not as thin as you [I wish I were 135 lbs]. My goal is to get to 128 lbs, but if I end up under 135 lbs, I'll be happy no matter what. As far as I know when you get thinner and more in shape, your weight starts to plateau because your body gets used to the exercises you do. So as far as I know you…
  • Ahh well.. My goal weight is 128 pounds. Which would give me around a 21.0 BMI. My original goal was 135 just cuz I felt like anything under that was unachievable. But I want to get myself out of the mind set of "that isn't possible, I can't do that" So I shaved off 7 pounds from that goal weight. 128 pounds sounds cute to…
  • Who said snacks had to be pretzels or cookies? You can be satisfied with so much more and they'll be more nutritious. Apples have 80ish calories Some cereals are under 100 calories 3 large carrots are around 90 calories 1 cup blueberries are around 85 calories. 1 cup of raw broccoli with a little dip is under 95 calories…
  • Thanks.. I'll be singing this for days LOL
  • Thanks! I'll try the steamed veggies. As far as stevia goes: I'll try to find some packets to buy. But I actually recently bought some Stevia seeds and I plan to grow some of my own Stevia soon! I cant wait!
  • As a Vegan [formally junkfood vegan] I probably dont get as much fat as a person with the standard American diet. I've actually noticed when looking at my daily consumed foods that my fat intake is much lower than the daily goal. I wonder if I should add more olive/flax seed oil or avocado? Or is it okay to have a low-fat…
  • That makes some sense. I'll see if things change in the next week or so. Maybe my body is trying to adjust from "OMG EMPTY CALORIES YUMMY FRIES AND SODA CARBS CARBS CARBS" to "OMG WHAT IS THIS NUTRITIOUS FIBER PACKED STUFF YOU ARE PUTTING IN ME IDK WHERE TO START WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WITH THIS HEALTHY STUFF GIMME A…
  • Hmmm I've always used splenda, but I only used it once a week instead of every other day. Not to mention I use like... 5 packets per 20 oz of tea.. So maybe I'll cut back and use real sugar or agave instead to see if any difference is made.
  • Don't detox with pills. Detox with teas, with water, with juicing, or with just eating nothing but raw food. There are detox teas that can help. Some people just eat nothing and only drink lots and lots of water and it cleans out their system [though I would talk to a doctor before trying this.] This detox is hard core…
  • When I was younger I'd have sensitive breasts.. But of course they were growing. I'm 21 now and I've not have sensitivity in my breasts since then. In fact, if anything, I am less sensitive than most girls. I hear lots of girls complaining how it hurts to get hit in the boob, and for me it doesn't hurt any different then…
  • First picture: I see a pretty girl, with nice completion, looks full of energy, looks healthy. Second picture: I see a person who looks very tired, pale, maybe weak/malnourished. The fact that your eyes are half shut, there are lines under your eyes, and that you shirt looks like it is hanging off your body leaves me…
  • I tend to eat a salad for lunch. I usually get Panera Bread Classic Salad. Which is right around 160 calories, depending on how much dressing you put in. The salad is a very decent size. One serving of dressing is 130, if the Salad is 160, pretty much ALL the calories are from the dressing. Sadly I cannot fight how yummy…
  • Im pretty stationary. All I do is lay around all day UNLESS I have work. Though this will change as soon as I begin a workout routine.
  • Hi! I'm a Vegan [only one in my entire family]. I was Pescatariarian for 6 or 7 years. I went Vegetarian for a year. Then Vegan the last 2 years. Sadly I'm a junkfood vegan. I eat too many carbs like breads and chips. If you have a job, you can grocery shop for the special things you need while your family buys the rest of…
    in Raw foodies? Comment by Pande April 2011
  • Wow thats amazing! Congrats! You have lost the same weight that I'm trying to lose. I'm currently 195 pounds trying to slim down to 130. This not only gives me an idea of what I'll look like, but it also gives me hope of it being possible! If you can do it, then maybe I can do it too! Have any tips for me? It would be…
