yay! it's revived. Nice to see all of you. Feel like I've found my 'tribe'. I'm 5'2.5", started MFP end of June at 170.4 and I'm already down 13 pounds. Have 27 pounds more to go. Aiming for 130....but sure would love to be 120. Also would love a few friends, feel free to add me. I'm on MFP daily entering my…

very interesting read. Thanks everyone for sharing their info. looks like a range of 1000 to 1800 between y'all. My two cents: I have found that when I'm on 1200, the weight loss is too slow and very intermittent with some gains in there to really piss me off. I'm 5'-2.5". I hit my all time high weight in June (170.4)…

hmmm. posting from my iPhone sucks. some reason the last part of my post didn't post. The stat part. here it is: age: 40 height: 5' 2.5" (I heard about a petite gal that lost a lot of weight and actually GAINED an INCH in HEIGHT! something about less compression on her spine, blah blah, science, blah blah. Could be an…

I hear ya about the soul destroying part. I got hit with a diagnosis of hypothyroidism just after my 40th birthday. Some ways it felt good to finally get an explanation for all the weight gain and the trouble to lose it, but it's a tough road to recovery. I have started a doctors treatment program to lose weight and I'm 4…

Hi y'all! I'm new to MFP. So far.... I luhv it! I'm also highly motivated right now, so it's easy, but I know me......I see a stall in my weight loss then get bored/frustrated and......you can guess the rest. (Hellooo extra pounds, not at all nice to see you back again). SO...I'd love some friends here on MFP, so that we…

check out www.weelicious.com every recipe I've tried from her site has been a hit with my four year old. Especially RiceKrispWEE Treats. 1/3 c almond butter 1/3 c Peanut butter 2/3 c brown rice syrup and 3 cups whole grain rice crisps. (her recipe doesn't add this, but I do now, made the original recipe first, then I…

lol. I still can't believe I even clicked on your stupid title, and now I'm admitting to it. Can't knock it though, made me click and I'm glad I did, so it served it's warped purpose! I agree with a lot of what you said. I will agree with a lot more, when I reach my goal. Don't know when that will be, don't care. I'm happy…

As for my exercise plan. I'm all about developing some muscle tone. Just read JimKaras Petite Advantage, and I agree that muscles are a petite's best friend. I also read a free e-book by John Walker (not as in Whiskey as in the computer programmer tycoon). Book is called Hacker's Diet. He illustrates a 'rung' style of…

omg. I love your (charlottey2) profile picture! That'd be in Bombay Blue too! oh and your plan sounds great, I'm on a similar path, and I have to plan as well to stave off madness. :tongue:

Hi, I know I'm a bit late joining this thread. I'm new to MFP, and I just searched the forum topics for "petite" and yours popped up. I'd love to join your journey, as my goal can definately be summed up by the word "powerhouse". Feel free to add me as a friend. :flowerforyou: How's your journey going?...I see it's been…

:laugh:

lol. I knew there was a laugh in there Wonderob. I realize I should just shuttup now too. I get that it's a serious issue. I'm just anything but serious right now. Take care :happy:
-
Sorry Wonderrob. I'm kind of making light of the conversation. I mean no harm. I just advocate self-control, not control by others. When we know better we do better. I'm all for education. That's how we learn, right? Oh wait, we do learn another way, and that's by 'doing'. If I had listened to people that said it's…

[/quote] No, we need guidlines to start with to protect those that arent as educated in nutrician as you What would you say to a 180 lbs, 18 year old girl who says that she plans to lose 10 lbs a week be only consuming 300 calories a day "Well you only know if it's a safe level or not by observing the results physically…

I'd like to argue the point that consensus of opinion for what is safe, isn't good enough for me. Why? well, I like to control things, so knowing the science and the math appeals to me, and I'm petite and I believe I'm a unique little butterfly that's different from every other bug on the planet. lol. I've seen people lose…
-
You bring up a really good point. I hear that a lot too. How do we determine what 'rapidly' is?
-
hmph. just googled him. not a pen name. dude's real. got a good sense of humor though.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Walker_(programmer) and really shouldn't we all!
-
that made me laugh out loud. definately not the type of tag line we are used to seeing for 'weight loss' plans eh! Notice it's written by John Walker? Johnny Walker?!!! I wonder if that's his pen name? Don't know, never heard of this guy before clicking on that link.
-
I understand if you don't like the link I provided, just means that you are not like me. I like numbers. I like control. MFP's default numbers don't work 100% for me. I'm not knocking MFP at ALL. I love it! I just found it lacking some depth for my particular situation.....but ironically, I found that depth right here on a…

:flowerforyou: brill! well said theartichoke
-
Yes, this topic is talked about a lot.....but I, like you, think that just when I think I understand I question it all over as well. So thank you for posting a new thread on this popular topic. Because I'm a petite, when I reduce my TDEE by 500 I'm way below my bmr. AND I'd like to lose more than 1 lb a week. So WTH?…
-
That's awesome!:flowerforyou: We have the same goal, and you are closer to it than I, inspires me to see where you are at. May I ask what your netting calorie-wise? Seems to be my trouble spot right now.

is anybody else, finding it a little overwhelming to trust any studies. Almost like they pick an outcome, and then they wrap a 'study' around it to prove it true, to sell books, equipment, breakfast food etc. anyway. I find it best to research as I see fit, and have time for, then test it out on myself. I'll prove the…

awesome. love your reply.

THERE it is. I'm going to stop paraphrasing. I suck at it.
-
wow and dang! great posts from everybody and I'm taking bits here and there and following provided links here and there. and many comments made me laugh out loud, and some stung a little. truth hurts. but I did put myself out there, so it's ALL good. My personal conclusion: I'm going to follow my gut. (ha ha...groan) On…

Tip for moms of pickey eaters: You can sprinkle ground chia seeds into almost everything. I buy them whole and grind them up in a 'bullet' (coffee grinder or blender would work too) and sprinkle them on pb and j sandwhiches, grilled cheese, plain noodles, smoothies, sauces, with breadcrumbs for chicken nuggets. I add the…

just turned his show off. felt good.

diet myths....there sure are lot of them! not hungry. don't eat. lol duh. perhaps I'm overthinking things a tad. It's that fr*kn Dr. Oz. You gotta do THIS to lose the fat.....and you got to drink THAT to build muscle, and you got to pop this keytone or fry with this fat....blah blah. keep it simple. I like that. thanks for…
