I tried this but found myself STARVING! can anyone suggest what I did wrong? 5'4", 141lbs, work out 5 times a week. To lose fat it had me around 1650 calories with 177 carbs, 56 fat, 112 protein. That also did not calculate to the right amount of calories. I thought I was going to die. I need lots of food apparently.....I…

I just saw the doctor today and I will know results later, I guess..... When I lost the weight I was eating around 1800 calories a day. I have not lost any weight since February. I was so sure I would be at a happier weight when I got to the summer :( My measurements are not changing and I'm ramping it up as much as I can.…

You really think 1600 is too much? If I don't eat that much I get lightheaded.

I would be happy if my BF% showed up lower, but I think 28% is too high.

I am 5' 5".

My diet is very good, I don't think I'm eating the wrong things (lots of healthy proteins, good fats, healthy carbs). I barely had any milk left, we were only nursing in the mornings and I think there was hardly anything there. As stated before, I am 5'5" and I definitely have more to lose. I have lost 2 pounds since…

I forgot to mention, I know they are inaccurate, but I used one of those bathroom scales with body fat percentage on it. It says I have 28%. I want to be around the 22-24% range.

But I should be able to lose weight without starving myself. I lost weight on here before, but I wasn't as active and was eating 1600 a day. I was maintaining at 141 for a couple of years, gained a few and THEN got pregnant. I feel if I'm getting headaches and heartburn from not eating enough it isn't healthy or worth it.…

And I regularly change up my cardio/weights

I do have a food scale and use it regularly. The reason I do 1800 is I feel my fitness and weight need it. I am STARVING if I only do 1600 calories. I am 5'5"; my picture is me about 5 pounds lighter than I am now. I did some research and to maintain my weight, I need to eat 2300 calories a day. I never get close to that.…

mmmm.....

Good for you! I waited until I was married and I was 24 :)

There is a woman that goes to our gym and takes up a treadmill for an hour. She sets the treadmill for about 8 or 9 and will be able to keep up for maybe a minute and then she holds at least half her weight with with the sides for a while (several minutes) and runs on her toes (sort of) and then she goes back to running…

Hello musician friends! I am a french horn player (started on the trumpet) that is now teaching middle school band. I've been playing an instrument now for 17 years (when I tell my kiddies that they just can't believe how LONG that is, haha). I play in 3 orchestras, a brass quintet and a small brass ensemble. As a band…

Good for you deciding to make this life change! I would like to suggest you not say you want to lose x amount, try to think of it in 10 pound increments. Think "I would like to lose 10 pounds in the next 2 months." Reward yourself when you meet that goal and then move on to the next goal. This will help you so much. It…

Good for you! Tim Horton's is sooo good but you did the right thing. If you ever have a craving though, a Timbit isn't the worst thing :wink:

I think I love you for showing me this webpage ::drool::

You feel so much better when you do it. I have been doing this for over 2 years now. Whenever I stray I don't feel nearly as good as when I eat clean.

I try to eat clean pretty regularly. Mayo would not be clean, but you could substitute with avacado =>YUM! Almonds, walnuts, pistacios, any type of nut really. They say eat them raw, but I do the roasted salted almonds. String cheese and cottage cheese (low fat) Eat lots of seafood! Shrimp, salmon, great choices! Eat…

I did show up on time. I was doing work in my room while "breakfast" was going on. Also, no, I was not jealous of the rubber chicken, I just thought it painted a nice picture for you guys :laugh:

I visited San Antonio and Austin this summer. It must be hard to watch your weight down there! So much GOOD FOOD!!!!!!

I'll walk for the first 5 minutes, crank it up to 8 mph for a minute then walk for a minute at 3 mph. The next time I get up to 9, then 10, then 10.5 or 11, then 10, 9, 8. I go back to 3 mph each time. I really get a good sweat and my heart rate goes up and down a bunch. When I get to the faster times I sometimes only run…

I'm going to have to disagree with a couple of comments. First of all, HIIT is the most effective form of fat burning exercise. Paired with weight lifting you have an excellent combo. When people do steady state cardio, their bodies learn how to burn fat more efficiently, so you actually stall your progress if you continue…

My scale and I do not have a friendly relationship :tongue: I've had the same experience. Not fun. By the way I miss you and today is our last day of school :happy:

I very rarely go over on sodium and keep it under 2500 mg.

I think that would be just fine. Sorry for your loss :cry: That can be really tough and add a lot of stress and sadness to your life. Think of this as a way to springboard back to healthy habits and help with the healing process. Make sure you eat at least your 1200 calories, possibly even 1600 (I have found that to be a…
