5' 1.5" (yes that half inch matters!). 162--->112 in one year. Have maintained that for a year. Body fat around 21-23%. Only thing I am still working on reducing the bodyfat a 1% or two more. I maintain in the 112-115 range. You can add me! :-)

You look younger. Way to go!

<slow brain day for me, it took me a while to workout the 29+13 years experience. LOL. I am a morning workout person too. I do that on the weekends and used to get even a mini workout in during the week. Now that we are ditching our second car and I am taking public transit, I can't get to my gym super early, buses don't…

Hello, I hope its not too late to join... newbie here to the thread/MFP community. Been doing MFP for 20months now. Lost exactly 50lbs. At goal, actually reach goal a year to the day of starting MFP in May. Maintained more or less for a few months, then decided to lose a bit more. 110-115 give me the range I need to stay…

Has anyone asked the OP how tall she is/how much she weighs?
-
You look great. You even look younger than before, and younger than 33 for sure now.
-
Thank you for this, I am 3 lbs from goal, and have a healthy 21.5 BMI and am 23-24% body fat. I plan to focus on NROLW when I hit goal and finish this half marathon I am training for. ....I have been weight training 1-2 days a week, for 9months, along with my running.

I am not into Eat More Weigh Less, but I would assume that its not that TDEE-20% isn't working. Its that you have the inputs wrong. Garbage in garbage out. First I'd try weighing and measuring everything you take in. And for an accurate TDEE, don't average activity over the week. Log it daily. Get your exercise in earlier…

1200. But 3-4 days a week I get that. Those days I either have an exercise rest day, or a small 45 min workout. On bigger workout days, 2days a week, I will eat a few more say 1400. And then I have a cheat meal - usually Saturday night, Date night with husband. Cheat meal being a 800-1000 calorie meal, so 2-3 glasses of…

Mine is my very tiny profile pic. That's at 124lbs (taken a few days ago). I've lost almost 40lbs in a year and went from size 14P+ to 2P/4P now. You can do it.

I am 5ft 1.5inches SW: 162.4 CW: 123.4 GW: 117 Current BF is 23-24% (I saw 21.1% after my 15km run yesterday, and today was 25.9% first thing in the morning, so I'll take the average). My size is a snug (but not obvious) 2P tops and 4P pants at Ann Taylor. I hope to make that a comfortable fit and then I am done.

5'1.5" SW (May 7 2012) - 162.4 CW - 126.0 GW is 117 My goal BF percentage is 22-23%, currently at 26.5%. And similar to what the poster above said, the weight is a bit irrelevant. The BF% is more important than BMI, but BMI does provide some nice goal markers along the way. When you get within 15% of healthy it too…

I also recommend Bob Harper's skinny rules, done with MFP. And weights.
-
I am vegetarian and I think cutting out meat without an adequate back up plan is a bad idea. I had 23g of protein at breakfast alone.
-
I gave up artificial sweetener (Splenda) in July. I was using it only in coffee (2 - 16ozs a day), and coke zero (aspartame). Started doing the Skinny Rules in conjunction with MFP (after two months of MFP alone - and successful months). Bob Harper is dead set against sweeteners. I figured I should give his plan the full…

MTD 12.2 (7.5mi this weekend).

Newbie here - trying for 100miles. Thanks for keeping track for us.
-
Great job! We started on the same day and I am down 26lbs. Good for you!
-
Buy slimmer clothes. I swear I look fatter in size X that fits, than the same size that is baggy on me!

"I've burned as many as 893 calories in 57 minutes of running about 9-10 min/mile and I weigh only 174 lbs... and I'm a woman. I can burn 1500 calories running for 2 hours straight. These calculations are from my Garmin Forerunner 410, which subtracts your BMR calories from your burn... and I do eat them back... because…
-
From that article: Now that you understand why running burns 50 percent more calories per mile than walking, I hate to tell you that it's a mostly useless number. Sorry. We mislead ourselves when we talk about the total calorie burn (TCB) of exercise rather than the net calorie burn (NCB). To figure the NCB of any…
-
And one other thing - most HRMs (unless they have a special feature) and all machines give you total calories. You need to deduct your BMR from that. Or you double count those calories. Apologies if someone has said all this, I didn't read all posts.

The most accurately measured exercise in the world is running. As in many years of accurate army testing on multiple humans. Lace up, get outside, strap on a heart rate monitor and see what going different speeds does for your heart rate. Then go back and look up what the internet says you burn for that speed (try several…

I think Darminism will prevail. Stupid people will follow stupid advice. The rest will sit back, listen, assess who is knowledgeable and how is full of it. Then proceed with caution. Now here's my smiley: :smile:
