I had over 500 days and MFP dumped my numbers. I started over, now at 25 days. Again.

Yahoo has half a dozen Kim Kardashian "articles" on its site everyday as news. Consider the source before you give up cardio.

My body seems to really like 146. I'm 5'5" so that's within my range. I'd like to be less but that scale just isn't budging.

*Sigh*. Inverted triangle - totally top heavy.

Wow! This topic sure ran off the rails.

I didn't have a single one. But then again, candy isn't my thing.

Log everything in everyday. Each day is a new day.

Once a cheater, always a cheater. You forgive them once, its license to keep doing it.

I need to read this later.

I had my first daughter at 24, second daughter at 26, first son at 28 and last son at 42!

A bowl of All Bran every morning will solve the problem. Bran is nature's intestinal scrub brush.

You have to eat to fuel your body. You need to eat a net of 1200 or your body thinks it needs to go into survival mode by storing fat. Why would you want to starve yourself when you can achieve the same goal of losing weight by eating more? Eat peanut butter, almonds, olive oil, avocados, all calorie dense good fats to…

Every group has its rude idiots. Learn to ignore them, they don't matter. There is a wealth of information here, don't let the morons keep you from gleaning what you need from the site. You'll soon figure out who the jerks are. They don't matter, achieving your goals are all that matter.

Looks like you're doing great. Give it at least a couple of weeks of logging everything and see where you are then. Make sure you take the before pictures and measurements. That's where you'll really see the difference - the scale not so much..... Good luck to you!

Hi Erin, I'm also here in Santee. Your diary is not open so hard to advise.

I went to the local Farmer's Market on my way home from work. I got apricots, fresh spinach, slipper lobsters, peaches, and roma tomatoes. I put them all in a jumbo salad and it was awesome!

They're free on Netflix and Hulu.

Try kettlebells - they're actually fun and burn fat like crazy.

1200 calories a day may be the problem. That's a really low number.

Just do it! What are you waiting for? Beauty school is fun! Start your life! DON'T let your weight hold you back!

You don't get to pick where the fat comes off and face it, boobs are nothing but fat.

I did, on the top of my wrist. My doctor did the book method for a while but I eventually had to have it surgically removed.

This. My starting weight was 153 but I'm small framed. I'd like to be at 130-135.

56 and 30 pounds to lose....

5'5"' 148 lbs. Size 10

There is no way to tell since nearly everything is entered as quick calories. You really need to take the time to really log the actual food so you can track your nutrition. It also appears that you are not eating enough calories daily. You should NET no less than 1220 a day.

Alcide. Definitely Alcide.

I'm 5'5", 145 pounds and I fit in some size 12 pants and depending on brand, a size 10.
