Good for you! Keep it up! There is a huge difference! You look great!

That is awesome! I have experienced the same thing. A lot of people don't recognize me until I say something to them. Mind you, the hair style change doesn't help either (short to chin length bob).

Make sure you can be seen too with either arm flashers or some kind of reflective tape on your clothing. I walk occasionally at night and the other night, I was shocked to find that we were practically bumping into other people and their dogs before we even realized that they were there. Us on the other hand were very…

Simple answer: YES! A glass is great, a whole bottle is too much. You may end up with a problem if you don't have one already. (And this is from someone who family is French and we drink wine at every occasion; even lunch.)

Good job! Doesn't it feel awesome? I too have a goal weight of 135 and we will see what we look like then.

I agree with some of what you say but have a problem with "High cholesterol is a result of being overweight and not exercising." My weight is in the normal range for my height (although I want to lose more to get down to a healthier body fat ratio) and I walk every day for an hour and half at 3.8 or 3.9 mph. So according…

Waving from Northwestern Ontario. =)

I figured out my TDEE with exercise and took off about 20% from that. Eating 1200 calories and eating part of my calories back from exercise didn't seem to be working for me. My net often ended up below my BMR and my weight was yo-yoing all over the place, probably because I was miscalculating either my food, exercise or…

MFP expects you to eat those calories back. So a lot of people here eat all or most of them back.

Go camping! ;)

I have a Kenmore Induction cooktop and wouldn't trade it in for anything. I have cooked on gas at friends and my induction cooktop is faster and has more control. When you drop the heat, it does so immediately. I don't use a kettle anymore for tea...it takes too long. I have boiling water for tea in less than a minute.…

I use 2 tablespoons of chia gel, one heaping tablespoon of Benefibre (Canadian version), one cup almond milk, one cup of frozen fruit such as blueberries and raspberries (my favorites) and a couple of scoops of protein powder (Visalus). It is about 280 calories.

^^^^ That is funny!!!!

Sometimes, especially when I see bulges that I don't like. However, the strange thing was that previously I never considered myself fat even at 190 lbs. I always saw a thin person in the mirror. It was the scale that shocked me into action because I never looked heavy in my clothes.

Good job! Keep it up! You look great!

Good for you! Keep it up! You look wonderful!

Personally, I don't think they should. There should be a little padding over the ribs unless you are into body building which is a whole other kettle of fish.

Height - 5'5" Starting weight - 190 Current weight - 146 Goal Weight - 135 Age - 54 How many calories you eat a day - 1590 more or less (usually less)

Thank you!

I thought I read that 20% cut from tdee was the recommendation?

How tall are you?

Age 54 Goal weight 135 (Maybe more if I ever get there) Current weight 148 Activity level - Sedentary aside from walking at 3.8 mph for 90 minutes daily and 150 minutes on the weekend days. As to the weight loss, I started making better choices like drinking water and cutting back my portions 3 and half years ago. I lost…

I realize that 1590 is not my TDEE. If you look at the numbers posted it is 2090.

I am no expert but how much weight are you planning to lose? At 24.5% BF, that is below the average for women from what I have read online. By the way, I have done something similar to you. I was eating 1200 calories daily as well as eating back some of my exercise calories, however, I usually ended up below my net of…

No advice? =~(

My diary is also open but until today I was logging my exercise. I removed it so please take that into account as well that I was on 1200 calories a day and eating back some of my exercise calories. Thanks!

If you are looking for the pills and you have access to a Sam's Club, they sell the LactAid Fast Acting capsules for a very reasonable price. You also need to only take one as opposed to up to 4 of the regular strength kind.

My daughter has FM and Seronegative arthritis which is probably going to be soon labeled RA. She has a lot of pain and doesn't ever seem to get better. How much vitamin D are you taking? I have her taking Omega 3s in the hopes that it helps with the prescription meds she is taking now.

I am also 5'5" inches and was shocked at how the weight had creeped on during my 40s to 190. Before I turned 40, I had lost 20lbs through walking. Life got busy and I stopped walking. Well I put those 20 lbs back plus another 25. The scale was a real shocker! Because I dress well, no one believe me that I weighed that…

Maybe you were having an allergic reaction to something like internal chemicals that kick in when you run. Just a guess on my part.
