I do use the fat2fitradio military body fat calculator I LOVE it. It tells me my body fat % is 28%! I will try upping my calories a little and see what happens!

I have gone from a tight size 16 jeans to a comfortable size 12. So, in that regard there has been quite a difference. And, that is encouraging. I just get so sick of looking at the height/weight charts and seeing that I am overweight. I feel I am very large for a woman of my height. My lowest EVER adult weight is 145lbs.…

I know! after I posted the topic, I was scrolling the forum topics. I came across my post title and thought, "who is this fool?!" then realized it was me! Thats what I get trying to post topics before my morning coffee!

I do have 1 shake a day. Maybe I need to get in a second shake every day?

Or at least it LOOKS like it does. When your 5'3" and of stocky build wt. loss/gain is very different.

I do understand. When it is put into those terms. But, I guess I would THINK that if my body needed more calories it would say to my brain, "feed me, you fool!". Yes, three total workouts this week including weights and jogging.

So far that is what I have done exercise 3x this week. I just had my yearly physical last week and my doctor said I should aim for 150lbs. I think that is reasonable for me. according to all the weight/height charts it is overweight though. As a side note, I really wish people would stop telling me I am starving myself. If…

I know fat does not literally turn into muscle. But the weight that your body carries can turn from weight from fat to weight from muscle.

I have been quite lame actually! For some reason I LOVE salt! I can cut almost anything else from my diet. But, I cannot get rid of the salt. When I try I become tempted to purchase myself a salt lick. I am trying to work on this though!

Yes, I try to stick to 1200 cal a day. But, sometimes I just dont feel like eating the extra calories if my stomach feels satisfied. I usually end up closer to 1200 cal a day than 800.

Yup, waist went from 41in to 30in! :D

I hear ya about the calorie defecit. But, I dont eat more than that because I do not feel hungry. I hardly ever fell hungry and if I do I eat. If I eat when not hungry I feel like I am defeating the purpose of dieting. Honstly I am not starving myself intentionally, if my body says "Im hungry" I eat. I usually eat…

Thank you for the encouraging words! Maybe right after exercise and drinking a ton of water is not the best time to weigh myeslf. But after seeing the number on the scale go down/stay the same but never go up for a couple months, seeing the wt. gain really burst my bubble. I have a history of the gym not being my friend. I…

Opps! That is supposed to 1,200 cal a day NOT 12,000! Excuse my foolishness, I just woke up!

A class would be ideal, except It is hard to find a class offered at a time convenient for me. I have a super busy work schedule and a very sick Father. I wish I had time for a class! A video may be the best that I can do. I am able to go to the gym because, I can do it almost any time of day.

Almost 90 days with 27 lbs lost.

I have lost 27lbs and gone from a size 16 jeans to a size 12.

I have been using BBV for 1 month. I do not sell it, I order from Amazon. So far I have lost 14lbs. I am happy with this product. I like it because I have a very busy lifestyle. I am a L.V.T. at a emergency veterinary facility. I can be called in at any time, work shifts that are anywhere from 12-24 hours long and…

Hey, this is actually a question I have had throughout my (short) weight loss journey. If someone had answers for me I would greatly appreciate it. I come out below my calorie goal frequently. I dont even notice that I have until I log everything at the end of the day. I do not spend my day hungry, and am not usually one…

Thanks for the advice guys! :D I agree whole heartedly with adding more veggies. I DO like veggies! I have been trying to add in more that I can enjoy without butter. Fruit, I almost need to convince myself to eat. Except tomato, cherries and avocado (avacado is a fruit?) :( Sometimes I will eat fruit . . . I recently…

It is now open for public view . . . i think . . . :D

Oops, sorry guys! I will try to open it. I have been logging everything I put into my mouth faithfully. No matter how sad it maked me.
