  • Hi! I'm 5'2" and 30! My highest weight (from when I was willing to step on a scale at least) was around 185 lbs in May of this year. I've always bounced around on the scale, from 130ish to 150ish, but I put on all sorts of extra weight after my little guy was born. Ironically I lost most of my baby weight after the first…

  • I wasn't using MFP while I was pregnant, but I did only gain about 25 lbs with my son (although gained much more while breastfeeding!). I really stuck to my "maintaining" calorie goal for the first trimester, added maybe another 1 or 2 healthy snacks during the 2nd trimester, and a 3rd snack during my 3rd trimester. You…

  • Great job!! Not just 30 lbs, but look at how many INCHES have melted off your body. Keep it up, I'm sure you're inspiring folks around you everyday!

  • I'm betting 1400 is not enough! Make sure you log your workouts, MFP will give you an estimate of how may calories you've burned, and usually you need to make up those calories during the day to make sure your body doesn't go into starvation mode. I'm 30 yo female, and trying to lose weight, and my calculated daily intake…

  • Since you are trying to lose weight, and are doing some serious cardio, make sure you get enough calories! Your weight loss can get stalled if you don't eat enough. I used to pre-make a weeks worth of salads for lunch on Sunday night, and included some nuts/seeds, chicken, eggs and beans to get the calories and nutrients I…

  • I run alone too, and I worry about something crazy happening. I only run with one earbud in, so that I can still rock out to my music, but can be aware of what's going on around me. I also just ordered a RoadID to put on my shoe from http://www.roadid.com/ worth the $20 for me! It also helps to have had self defense…
