I agree that it is NOT one size fits all. BUT, just because you're only 5' tall doesn't mean you should eat 1200 calories. I'm only 5' tall and I eat 1650. I just think if you CAN eat more and still lose weight, then why wouldn't you?

I'm 5' tall and started out at 154 and am now 138. (my ticker is wrong, it won't update) And still going. I eat 1650 calories a day and I'm pretty consistent during the week and usually go over my calories by a fair amount on the weekends. I'm losing slowly but still losing. If I stayed within my calorie limit on the…

The spa could have told her, "sorry we don't cut children's hair." but they didn't.

That comment is so annoying. I was married at 20 and hubby was 24. We have 3 kids ages almost 10, 7 and 5 and we just celebrated 11 years of marriage. And we have an awesome marriage!

You look amazing! I'm inspired!

Getting your drivers license. Having your first boyfriend. Being able to hang out with friends without having your parents around. Feeling independent.

I think Silk almond milk is gross. Try Earth's Own Almond Fresh unsweetened. It's soooooooooo much better! It's not thick like silk.

I usually do 3 days of strength. I do 5 minutes on my rower (the good fan belt one) to warm up. Is that ok? My hubby said when he was using a training he did 500m on the rower to warm up. I do more than that.

Well I need to lose about 20 lbs and I would like to have an athletic build. I usually work out 6 times a week. And each day I usually work out once in the morning for about 30 minutes and then again after lunch or at night for another 30 minutes. (And some days I only get 1 - 30 min session in) So either way I would not…

Thanks for your reply! Today was a cheat day. Although I cheated a bit more than I wanted to. I didn`t think I`d have an opportunity to get a workout in, then when I did...I wasn`t sure if it would be more beneficial to drink a protein shake and go over by another 85 calories on top of what I was already over, b ut get a…

I`m 5` and eating 1650 calories and losing. I don`t eat back exercise calories.

I LOVE my smoothie that I have for breakfast. It`s 1 cup of almond milk, 1 scoop vanilla whey iso burst, 0.5 cups of cottage cheese (and I don`t like that enough to eat on it`s own, but it`s awesome in a shake) and a banana. Yum! Can`t wait to drink it in the morning.

I got sucked into being a sales rep about a year ago. So take it from me....don`t waste your money! Make your own meal replacement shake with ingredients from your home. Does the same thing but doesn`t cost you a fortune!

I used to be a Body by Vi rep. I`m such a sucker. I thought it tasted great and I used to try anything that would help me lose weight. Don`t waste your money! It`s meal replacement shake. That`s it. Not some miracle drink that most reps make it out to be. Tastes great but not worth the money. I make my own meal replacement…

Ok, thanks so much for your input! I will try my best to eat the 1650 exercise or not and let you know how I'm doing over the next couple weeks. Thank you thank you!

I mostly just want to know if I should be eating back calories I burn or if I should just be staying at close to 1650 as possible no matter how many calories I burn. And I really appreciate your suggestions! So thank you in advance.

Ok, I did. And as I look back I see that I didn't follow the 1650 as well as I thought. There was a few days where I ate some exercise calories back. I'm a little embarrassed that I thought I was doing better than I actually am. I'm not that bad, am I?

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/908593-what-can-i-do-to-improve And I have been trying to follow what you advised, however I had the flu for a few days since then (the puking kind) and 1 or 2 days when I went over my calories because we went out to restaurants.

Wanted to add that I am 5' tall and 144 lbs.

I'm 5' tall and aiming for 125. Right now I'm a size 6. How many calories are all of you eating?

I just bought a heart rate monitor (watch) on ebay for $6.22 including shipping. No idea if it will work well or not but I thought I'd try it out. Until it arrives, I'm estimating my calories burned at 200.

I did C25K and it WORKED! I went from hardly being able to run for 2 minutes to being able to run for 30 mins in about 9 weeks.

You are so inspiring! You look amazing :)

Thanks, I'll try it out! Right now I'm using 5 lbs weights. I do 3 sets of 20 reps and depending on the exercise sometimes it burns throughout the last set. So I'm not sure how much I should be lifting. Should I be struggling to finish? Or do I just need to feel the burn through it all.

I'm really lucky to have it :) My husband NEEDED all of it and hasn't touched it yet. We've had it for 4 years. Ha! My goal is to lose 20lbs and get toned. I like seeing the muscle definition that I have so far in my arms and would like to see it everywhere else. I would like to be strong too.

Ok, Ha ha. I'd love if you would suggest a good one for me. I have a gym in my basement, not sure of all the names....I have a treadmill, bike, fan rower, dumbells from 3lbs - 60lbs, a barbell with a few hundred pounds of weights to add, a squat rack, a bench kickboxing bag, dip bar, a box step (that you add height to) a…

Right now I'm following this 3 times a week. http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/conditioning-workout-for-women.html

Ok I'll try that out. Thanks! What about my exercising? Is there something I should be doing differently?

I know how you feel. I only have about 20lbs to lose but I've been trying to lose it for 2 years. I always start eating healthy and working out, I lose 4 or 5lbs and then I lose control and gain it back. I know that's not a lot of weight but it's still frustrating. I don't have a lot of will power when it comes to anything…
