5ft 1 female here. Restarted my fitness journey when stay-at-home orders hit here in NYC. Started closer to 150 lbs but started logging around 143.

For those with heavy periods, please have your doctor check to make sure it's not fibroids. Many women (especially women of color) have them and they can be a source of anemia and low iron.

Hi All, I'm hoping that I can join! I am 41 and live in Brooklyn, NY (African, born in London). I'm 5 ft 1 and seeking to get to 115lbs. (SW-142, CW-127, GW-115). I've been on MFP since 2012 on and (and more likely) off. I also signed up for Noom near the end of March and echo everything copernicus0001 says about it. I…

Hi There! Would love to join! I have been tracking daily but neglected to post--sorry!! Here are my stats: Height- 5ft1 SW- 142.8 lbs (highest that I remember was around 150 but I wasn't measuring or actively using MFP at the time) CW- 127.6 lbs (5/12) GW- 115 lbs by 6/30. (This is a stretch, but I figured it is something…

5ft 1 and aiming for 115. About 15lbs to go to this goal. It's a struggle. Even after consistently working out and religiously counting calories, my body is not letting the pounds go...at least not without a fight!

1) Food scale -- no guesstimating here! 2) Jump rope -- I add it to my kickboxing and HIIT workouts and it adds an extra level of fun and challenge. 3) Herbal tea -- nice to have something to curb food cravings. 4) Rice cooker -- I make a good portion of my meals in this. 5) Bathroom scale -- for better or worse, it's…

30 minute Boxer Burner workout with Nike Training Club app and 6 mile walk, including some Prospect Park trails.

I use it as a catch all for basically not eating junk food--this is my definition, not a standard definition since I don't know if there is one. Since junk food is a widely used term, I don't have an issue with the phrase 'clean eating'. To me, it signifies an action I am trying to take to encourage healthier eating. It…

4.7 mile walk 40 minute Nike Training Club Kickboxing workout in the park (I really love this app and have been using it for a while.)

4 mile walk Three rounds of: 50 double jumps 20 tricep dips 75 lunges 2 minute walk sits 20 pushups 20 split jumps I'm used to working out of the gym, so it's been a nice change up to do this workout outside since my Brooklyn apartment is not big enough. That being said, I keep having to cross my fingers that no one takes…

Would love to join! CW:135.4 GW:115 I'm walking 10k a day, eating way better during quarantine and doing some early morning kickboxing workouts at my park in Brooklyn. Hope everyone is doing well on their journey!

Orange juice--I used to drink it like water. It is not.

A. What are you doing maintain your calorie count? I am actually doing so much better than when I was at work with easy access to restaurants and workplace junk food. I cook more and do not impulse buy unhealthy food. I am using this pandemic as an opportunity to reset and recalibrate so I make healthier decisions. Already…

Dedicated gluttony while at work for most of the day--I just ate without regard and kind of gave up in the process, assuming that I would start being healthy 'tomorrow'. I basically stopped working out and was not intentional about being healthy. Coronavirus has been a nice restart in this respect--it's been nice to have…

Resilience...I will fall down—repeatedly—it’s just of question of how and when I get up.

1, 5, 6. Not much more to be said :/

I month in...and 12 pounds lost, but so far: -taking my breakfast and lunch to work (rather than buying anything there as I used to do) -going to the gym and doing something (even when motivation to complete a full workout is lacking) -not going off the rails food wise when the scale nudges in the wrong direction…

Hope its not too late to jump in! Will be out if the country for the next two weeks, starting this upcoming Sunday, so hoping to maintain good habits while I'm away!

Love love jump rope. It is challenging (endurance wise) but so much fun when you can incorporate more complex moves like double unders.

I've Got a New Attitude and I Get Knocked Down (But I Get Up Again). (I know those aren't the official titles, but you get the picture).

I moved recently (into a smaller Brooklyn apartment than my old one). If possible, moving in chunks really helped me. I took the stuff I knew I wanted first and arranged stuff in the new place. That way, I was really able to see what worked in my new apartment before moving more stuff. Good luck!

Accidental post, weigh in day is tomorrow!

-Most important rule for me: Get back up again after falling down. -Pre-log and pre-plan where possible. -Try for single-serve portions since I know self control is an issue. -Don't keep foods that I can't eat in moderation in the fridge or the house--again, self control is an issue! Instead, keep healthier foods (like…

Eggs, spinach and tomatoes--these are my breakfast and partial lunch ingredients!
