I hope you are not just trolling us, but that is very much a healthy weight. If you feel like you are not skinny, then build muscle, but honestly that is a pretty ideal weight - unless you're aim is to be underweight. I'm 5'3" and 130 lbs (58 kg) and I'm regularly called skinny. Some days I don't feel skinny, but I am and…

I know how you feel. I wore a bigger size in middle school and high school than I do now in my early 30's. All my old photos show me as the fat girl, and I had much of the same feelings when I started my weight loss journey looking back at old photos. I'd feel terribly ashamed, but then time passed and I realized how…

A day or two to flush through (though 450 mg isn't really that much when you consider other types of foods like canned soup - and yes, even the reduced sodium soups). If you take cranberry pills it will happen pretty immediately. That said, you really should ignore the scale every day as a measure of how you're doing. You…

If this post is really all about the bloat and wanting to not be bloated, then take cranberry pills. You'll drop that water weight for sure.

Not sure which park you're going to, but I go all the time to Fiesta Texas and Six Flags over Texas thanks to my season pass. You will walk a lot. Six Flags does offer salads (typically with chicken strips). The salads aren't offered everywhere so you may have to ask or reference the map, I've also seen roasted corn at my…

You can totally do it. Be sure to read information on this site as well as elsewhere about your BMR and your TDEE. Set your caloric intake appropriately and exercise some - it will make you feel better and get you to the goal quicker. I have a muscle disease that almost makes it impossible for me to workout but I do (a…

I don't accept the drink, that gives the wrong impression. If he/they buy drinks for the whole group of ladies, hell yeah I do, and that has happened - just because I'm not single doesn't mean I want to hurt my ladies' game. Chatting is completely different for me. More than welcome to talk, nothing wrong with that unless…

I'm 5'3" exactly. I don't know what people mean by frames. I think I have linebacker shoulders ( I do have broad shoulders) but have been told I'm petite in build, so there you go. You should go based on how your clothes fit. When I started losing weight (long before MFP was even around) I started at 190 lbs. My current…

For breakfast, usually the sausage burrito at $1 and 300 calories, it's the best choice for pocketbook and calories. The egg white mcmuffin is also a good option but it's a bit more (about $2.60 where I live). For times other than breakfast, I get the regular cheeseburger (I add extra pickles and onion - which adds maybe 5…

I'm not walking on a treadmill, not a huge fan of them, but I do listen to books while walking. I find it passes the time much quicker and will even go further to finish a good part of the book. I also listen to music but I find books are more entertaining - especially re-listening to books I've read. Right now, I'm…

Thanks!

I'm in Austin and we're the home of Whole Foods, Central Market, Wheatsville Coop and farmers markets galore, so trying to eat healthy here isn't as hard as it could be in other places - like Houston. Remember, you can eat junk food if you want. Being on a "diet" isn't good for long term goals, think in terms of being…

I'm not advocating for Mcdonald's nor am I arguing against it. Their recipes may have added sugars that could affect your blood sugar later but other than that - do what you want. It's your diet. As for the burger myth, I vote for science and reason:…
