Cutie and nice personality, wish she lived closer!

As you lose weight, your metabolism can slow down as it doesn't take as many cals to keep your body running. Increasing muscle will increase this number, but does add weight. Where you are isn't bad, but more of a calorie deficit may be needed to lose more.

Perfectly fine to go over protein. That should be the thing you're going over on. Watch out for other things in animal products though, like saturated fat. That's a bad thing to go over by too much (raises LDL or bad cholesterol)

Hey. My weight loss goal is similar, 200 to 160. Doesn't sound like you're doing anything strange.. my net Cal intake is much lower, like under 500, and I'm still alive haha

I wish spot reduction worked, but it doesn't. Need overall diet and exercise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_reduction

Hey madi, I sent you a request. 16 is a lot in a short period but it can be done! Good luck!

I'm trying to work up endurance. 20 mins was the longest I jogged without stopping and my heart rate was over 190 lol.

Congrats to you who beat brain cancer! I lost 3 of my grandparents to it. Watching them die slowly. One of the worst ways to go..

There are a lot of amazing before and after pics in here and it is great inspiration.. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing! Too early for me to contribute :p

I don't have irrational fears. I do like bringing the subject up so I know how to scare someone later.

This is a great place for motivation and friends! Friend invite incoming.

Very nice ladies!!!! Best thread ever! I'm tempted to pose in one for you but I don't have one :(

Hey Cassie, welcome to MFP. Sounds like a good plan, a lot of people struggle with weight they've gained after pregnancy and can definitely be difficult to manage time. There's a lot of people here that can help motivate you :)

Hey Leah, welcome to MFP. Everyone here is really supportive and it's a great environment to encourage weight loss :).. Invite incoming.

Thanks for the responses and adds!! loseequalsgain> Cheese is awesome indeed, and veggie cheese just isn't the same.. I still eat yogurt sometimes and don't keep track of all the hidden ingrediants in things.. It's so hard to be vegan, especially when going out, becuase of things like cheese and butter on everything >_<…

Hey Jess, welcome back. I'm sorry about your loss and emotional set backs. I'll send you a friend request, it's good to have supporters :) .. Also, I gained weight after I turned 21 due to the whole alcohol thing. Beware of the empty calories :o

< Vegetarian 6 years, 80% vegan. 22 year old M trying to lose 40 lbs. Feel free to friend request me, anyone.. I already sent requests to several people in this topic :)

Where a shirt that says "I'M SINGLE AND APPROACHABLE," because that's a sign I can understand. I've gotten turned down a lot in the past, and not even the simple turn down. It's the kind that makes it awkward to see eachother from across the room. So I'm very hesitant to try. Plus I'm shy. And the American culture is very…

When you're pregnant isn't the time to be dieting.. Make sure you're getting all the essential nutrients and proteins for your growing baby. Also, it's very common to underestimate your caloric intake, if you want an accurate measurement make sure you are including ALL foods throughout the day and you've selected the…

Las Vegas winning millions with showgirls on my lap showing me how their elaborate costumes come off. What? I'm a guy.

I'm not a female nor in that height range. However, as a weight goal I've been referring to the BMI chart. For women, 5'7" is "healthy" between 120-155.

Welcome back Chloe! Good luck with your weight loss goals.. Self control is definitelly a difficult thing to overcome, and I feel logging foods on here really helps. -Brian

I think "soulmate" is a woman's fantasy. I think pretty much any 2 people can get together and be happy together if they come in open minded and are willing to be mature and compromise.

Hey, I'm Brian. I'm from USA, PA. Going though paramedic internship right now. I'm also a vegetarian and web developer. My goal is one day being within the "healthy" range in the BMI scale, however I'm unsure if that's possible if I lost every ounce of fat on my body.

Good luck, if you didn't take it already. The aeromedical services seem to be a lot more demanding than where I am. I doubt any of the prehospital RNs or flight paramedics I've met could pull that off.

When you're short of breath, it's because you're hypoxic (low oxygen). Chest discomfort, dizziness, and hypoxia can start putting you in shock, where blood gets shunted to vital organs. The placenta isn't considered a vital organ by your body. When the placenta's not getting nutrients, it's starving for oxygen and…
