Hello all! I hope I'm not too late for Day 1!! Starting weight = 154 Goal weight = 115 Goal weight for September 30 =149 I know it seems like I don't have much weight to lose but I am all of 5 feet tall. I "should" be weighing around 100.

It helps in this case to know your height and weight. More than likely you are over 5 feet and 1200 calories is very low for you. You should be eating between 10-30% less than your TDEE is. You should also be eating back your exercise calories or at least as much of it as you can.

I've used the lightly active level. I'm a doctors assistant so I do stand and sit a lot during the day. You're right, I'm eating 1350 or less and not eating my exercise calories back.

Thank you everyone! Sounds like I'm actually hearing eat more and exercise harder. OKAY. I'm 5 feet 0 inches, LOL. I currently weigh 155 and my BMR, although different in every site I've checked, is about 1395 with my TDEE about 1809.

I want you to know that I tried them both and each one has it's pros and cons. A HRM is great and extremely accurate for calculating calories burned while exercising but not so much for your daily life, in your case for work. The fitbit is great for calculating calories burned at work and going about life in general but…

I own a treadclimber and I love it! I find it does everything I need it to do and doesn't kill my knees because it's very low impact. The model that I have which I can't remember right now, does have a setting where both treddles stay still and you can just walk or jog on it. Also you can use it as a stepper if you want, I…

Hello!!!! I'm 5'1 and need to los 60 lbs or so ish... Would love to be your MFP pal!:happy:

I'm in if you still have space for more. I work out from home but I have a treadmill, stationary bike and weights.

<Yessenia it's gypsy for flower. It was also a 1970's spanish novela. Everyone calls me Yessy for short and the Y is pronounced like a J. =)

I'm not on thyroid medication and I haven't made a major change this week in diet or exercise. However, I am near TOM!!! I didn't even think of it! And also, my rings are a little snug. I'll wait another week and see if the weight comes back down. Here's hoping!!!

LOL!!! =) I think we all have the same problem when losing weight! Bye bye boobs! And then eventually the rest of our body catches up... but it's just not fair.

Hello!!!! I just finished day 6 of the Shred! The first 2 days I was in a LOT of pain and couldn't hardly walk ( at least not normally). 4 more days and I move up to level 2... can't wait!!!!

I suggest MovingComfort. Very comfortable and come in all shapes and sizes!!! Approx. $20-$50 depending on your size. Also accomodate for different levels of "jiggle"... low, medium, high.

Hello!!! There are 8 ounces in a cup. You need about 64 ounces in a day. Crystal Light water does count towards your "water" intake. Hope this helps!!!

This is going to sound incredibly ignorant but... what are macros?
