It all depends on the brand. I'm 5' 4.5" and 139lbs and I've got 4s, 6s, 8s and 10s and they all fit the same. It's very frustrating and it makes it hard to shop for pants.

Thanks for the reminder, I haven't lost much weight, but I can run a whole lot further than I ever thought I could. The number on the scale only tells part of the story. :smile:

I'm not a huge fan of eggs either, I usually make one of those atkins muffin in a minutes. Probably not strictly paleo, but it's flax, so at least it's not wheat. And snacking is fine! Eat when you're hungry! Just make sure it's a good healthy snack. I eat fruit and nuts mostly. I keep a big jar of plain unroasted almonds…

I think it puts 1200 for everyone who puts 2lb loss per week as their goal. Ignore that number, use the one you calculated. You can customize your goals yourself so your numbers are more accurate. I did the exact same thing when I started here, mfp told me 1200 so that's what I was doing, I upped it after finding out my…

According to my scale my body fat % is still at 35%. That's very frustrating to me, but at least it's going down. Does anyone know how accurate those body fat scales really are? It's a new scale, one of those wifi ones by Withings.

I love these shakes! I get mine at Sams Club. The price just went up to $18.88 for a 12 pack though so I won't be buying them as often as I used to. :brokenheart:

I find it almost impossible to get enough protein without a shake. I've got my protein set pretty high though, depending on what you've set your macros you may be able to get it through your food without adding shakes.

I'm doing low carb, I've got my ratios set to 15/35/55, carbs/protein/fat. So far so good!

I ran into an ex I hadn't seen in 2 years, and he said "you look good!" at least 5 times. :smile:

I did W3D1 today too. My legs are jello right now. I'm not as ambitious as you all are, the 5k I want to do isn't until September. Good luck everybody, and great job! :smile:

I'm doing 15/30/55 carbs, protein, fat

I started C25K last year at this time, but I had cut calories and got myself so run down I ended up with shingles. I've been on mfp for about a month now, attempting the primal way of eating, and I feel much stronger. I'm doing W2D3 tonight. So far so good! It's encouraging to hear from others who didn't think they could…

bump! yummy!!!

Too many songs to list, but almost anything by Avenged Sevenfold, Five Finger Death Punch, Linkin Park, Metallica (pre Black album), Pantera, I like my music loud and hard. \m/ :glasses:

Bumpity bump :tongue:

Hi Kim, I'm working on eating paleo too, some days more successfully than others. You'll find lots of support and encouragement on this site, everybody has been so helpful. :smile:

Almost every time I've started doing low carb I've started spotting within 2 weeks and had periods way out of normal. I don't know why either, I was hoping regulating my blood sugar would help my periods not make them worse. But you're not alone, and next doctor appointment I'm going to ask about it.

Oooooh sounds goood!!! bump!

I sit at a desk all day too, in addition to having an hour commute each way. I noticed the stiffness from sitting too long as well. I just did W1D3 yesterday and I'm hoping to feel less stiff once I get going on W2. Do you stretch at all before you run? I am new at the whole "physical activity" thing, being a born and…

This is exactly how I feel. 5pm seems to be my best time.

You're going down - Sick Puppies Bleed it Out - Linkin Park All Over Me - Drowning Pool Bat Country - Avenged Sevenfold All in the Family - Korn I like something fast and heavy, it keeps me going! :happy:

It wasn't easier, but it wasn't harder either. I think I need to work on my posture when I run, sometimes I get knee pain and sometimes its my hip. I'm hoping to get new sneakers soon, maybe that will fix some of my trouble. W1D3 for me tomorrow. Keep up the great work ladies! :smile:

I always had some too on my thighs, even though I was fairly thin. But when I gained weight this time I got it everywhere, arms, belly, legs all the way down to my ankles. I'm hoping as I lose the weight, the dimples will fade. It's my motivation every time I think I can't make it another step on the treadmill, or drink…

I'm a mom of 3, ages 22, 10, and 8. I work full time and have an hour commute each way so I spend most of my life sitting. I'm also a stress/emotional eater so the more unhappy I got with my weight, the more I ate. I'm taking the stairs at work now instead of the elevator, 4 flights should count as aerobic exercise! I also…

strawberry margaritas from the Border Cafe!

Totally invisible. People even bump into me all the time. I was walking to lunch last week and a guy on the sidewalk almost mowed me down, he was too busy checking out 2 girls on the other side of the street to notice I was right in front of him. It's very depressing sometimes.

ISFJ Yup, seems to describe me pretty well.

Wow this whole thread makes me feel so much better! I haven't eaten 1200 calories a day in over a week, because I'm just not hungry. I worry about those threats of my metabolism slowing down though. Does anyone know if there really is a safe minimum to eat or should I just listen to my body?

I haven't thrown anything at someone, I'm more of a rude gestures person. :tongue: That being said, I have thrown inanimate objects that have annoyed me, ie tv remote, cell phone, drinking glass...

I have regular skull candy earbuds and they fall out, I haven't seen any in stores that look like those, but they look perfect! Guess I'll be placing an order from Amazon. Thanks!
