So, when I started MFP they set my calories as 1200 and I didn't lose anything. I work out 2-5 days a week cardio and some strength training doing Zumba, Piloxing, and Boot Camp. So, I could never eat back all my exercise calories and decided to up my calories because I would be starving by lunch no matter what. So, I…

This sounds good. I'm going to have to give it a try. Nothing better than low cal homemade treats!

You look absolutely amazing. I think this is a sign that maybe it's time for me to start incorporating some weight lifting into my weight loss fitness plans.

I'm 5' 1" in my mid- 20s. I've been thinking of this because even though the BMI says one range. I'm not completely sure if I have an end goal or more of an end range. Ultimate weight range: 98 lbs - 120 lbs Mini goals: 1. 150 lbs 2. 140 lbs 3. 130 lbs 4. 120 lbs 5. 110 lbs 6. 100 lbs I figure it will take anywhre from 6…

You've done a great job and it looks like being patient does pay off. So, I have a few questions... (Not particularly for me but for everyone to get a sense of what you've done.) What's the number 1 lifestyle change you made to get these results? What type of meals does your day consist of? If you exercise, how often and…

Same here!

Congrats! I'm always happen to read about weight loss/fitness achievements of people with similar stats. (Side note: I don't see any pictures though.)

You did a fantastic job! What did specific changes did you make that helped you reach your goal? In the pic where you're in purple, are you at a dance studio? (I was wondering if it was a Zumba class.)

The estimates on here are just that. They best thing to do is invest in a heart rate monitor that measures the calories burned to get a more accurate measure.

Thanks for the head's up on the Scooby's BMR webpage. I'd like to find out more about this as I tend to have a difficult time losing weight as of late.

Fantastic transformation!

I never knew it was possible for someone to look beyond fantastic! You look amazing and what a dramatic change!

You look fantastic!

That was an amazing transformation. It's certainly motivation to keep it up and not give up!

Today for the first time I had cereal and a sausage patty for breakfast. I never feel full after cereal and don't much like milk. The big difference was the type of cereal. I ate one cup Fiber One Original Bran cereal. Continuously today I have the feeling of satiety. So, I recommend a high fiber cereal with milk. Then, a…

You look great! Don't be too hard on yourself, you've had two children!

This was happening to me during my most intense work-out of the week, boot camp. I talked to one of the most fit ladies I know about it because she does a similar class. She told me you have to eat more carbs before that exercise. I did it the first time by having a sub. Only felt nauseous twice during the work-out. Then,…

She looks amazing! She has done a great job!
