bump.... not being pushy but would really appreciate some help!

From Sept'12 to Jan'13. I did take a 10 day vacation in Dec.

Do you take body measurements and if so, have any of your measurements changed in the past two months? [Niva] No, I have not taken any body measurements, but my clothes fit the same. Though I do feel that my shirts are a "bit" tighter. Can you see any difference in body composition in the past few months? [Niva] - No:-(…

Opened. I make my exercise notes in the "Today's Food Notes" Section.

Great Read!! Thanks for posting...makes so much sense. Will show it to a friend who is currently freakin' out:-)

Nearly 5" tall and here to maintain and build muscle. Don't mind being tiny as I make it up in attitude:-):-)

I am barely 5"feet tall and do wear size 0 in some brands. My frame is small but I have hips:-) I am also over 40 and have 2 kids!

Read this link and it should help clear out some cobwebs. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/975025-in-place-of-a-road-map-short-n-sweet

The 1200 number that MFP gives out is BARE MINIMUM and is "NET" calories. So if you exercise and lose 300 cals then you need to eat 1500 to "NET" the 1200 cals that MFP puts out. Best is to try the TDEE method and take away the confusion of how many calories to eat/day.

WOWWWWWWW!!!!! Amazing

It could be water retention if you just started weight training, or it could be TOMs. How much are you eating on average?

TDEE stands for Total daily Energy Expenditure http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

I don't have a full pic but my profile picture is a recent one of me and my tummy:-) This is with 2 C-sections. ladies y'all are awesome!!!!!

Just in time!!!!:-) Read this... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/975025-in-place-of-a-road-map-short-n-sweet

You really need to calculate your TDEE and then base it from there. Long term under eating will impact your metabolism. Ask your self, how much fat loss have you had while eating at 1200cals?

If you are using the Scoobie calculator I would go with Mifflin that's what MFP uses. If you know your BF% then use the KatchM. Enter your activity level ( how many hrs/day you exercise) and then your goal for fat loss. YOu can play around with the #s and see what suits you the best. However, if you have 20lbs or less to…

Try out this site and input your data and tweak it for how much fat loss you want. http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

same here:-) I could do the funky power walk but at 4.5 mph it is easier to start a slow jog. I use this speed during my interval days. Sprint at 6.5-6.7 and then come down to 4.5.

:-) Well fast and then Pretty "damn" fast.......er.... edited to move comment below....

So true, I am barely 5 feet tall: 4mph - fast walk 4.2mph - pretty fast walk 4.5mph- slow jog 5.0mph- fast jog 6mph - run 6.5 to 7mph - sprint

I am between 4'11 and 5'0 and try to eat closer to 1400. So I am tinier than you:-) If you are exercising and eating only 900 cals then you are netting way below 900 and probably not doing your metabolism or muscle mass retention any favors! Do you exercise and if yes then what type of exercise?

I would say school first! You should not let your grades drop at the expense of getting a workout every-day. Ideally, it would be great if you can do both. Working out can be refreshing and allow you to focus more on your studies because it is a stress releaser. But, if the are one too many projects and tests then I would…

very, very interested!!!! will follow a, b and other alphabetical instructions!!!

You are such an inspiration Sara! ...and your SMILE...so wickedly infectious:-) I wish you continued good health and progression in your ongoing training efforts!!! Standing Ovation!!!!!!

I monitor both calories and Macros. I am set at 40-30-30. With this I also monitor my fiber. However, I have yet to find a definitive answer whether in my 40% carbs should I be tracking net carbs which is Carbs minus fiber or total carbs? So, for example if yesterday I ate 150gms of carbs and my fiber intake was 30gms, so…

LOL... Funny that I came across this thread as I just weighed a banana for my smoothie:-) I count my peanuts, almonds.......my husband gets that look on his face as if I have gone off the deep end when sees me do that:-)

Why the 90lb goal?? How tall are you? What is your current eating pattern and exercise routine?

Please don't drp your cals to 1200!! Read this and calculate your #s https://www.facebook.com/pages/In-Place-of-a-Road-Map-MFP/342385002516919 Niva

Oh I feel your pain because I have the same problem...right ankle injury! After a slew of tests ( MRI, Imaging, X-rays) NOTHING!!! I was a runner and Insanity junkie. It all came to a full stop until I found Kettlebell workouts! They are awesome and give an amazing strength and Cardio workout. Just do a search and you will…

I take Biotin ( Nails. Hair and Skin) supplement every day and have not seen any difference.
