Yes, you are going over in cals. You need to be in the green, every day. Eat back no more than 1/2 your exercise cals at first. Weight your food, even meals out. There is more than a serving size a lot of times there. You can try planning ahead for the next day too. Also, do not eat back exercise cals if you did not put…

I was playing with it too and am also getting results all over the place. My walking 4.0mph was 902 cals burned for an hour. So yeah, the system is a little funny there. I weight 183lbs. The walking 4.0 very brisk pace gives me 416 cals burned for the hour. I eat back half my cals from exercise, but now I am wondering…

You look amazing!

If she is 5'0, 7 stones would still be in the healthy BMI range for her weight, just the lower side of it. And why not start trying and see where you end up? You might not make your ideal goal weight, but at least you would be trying to make yourself feel better.

This thread needs a beer milkshake. I get that OP is trying to explain why some people can not eat up to their calorie goal. OP this might by why you can not eat at that limited, but everyone is really different. Some people can eat right before bed, some can not. I eat at my weekly calorie goal, no problem, no problem…

:flowerforyou: Thank you for sharing your story and congrats on baby number 3. You look amazing!

Having the colors of spring (pink, white, and green) these sweet dumplings on a skewer are eaten during flower viewing season (cherry blossoms) in Japan. Hana = flowers, mi = to see, and dango = dumpling. A food name on a food site seemed right. ^_^

I measure at the belly button and natural wait to keep track. At 186.4 waist was 35.5' and belly button waist was 42'. I am another person who gains in their mid-section the most.

I started back in Dec of 2012, so well over a year. I started very very slow, lost some, gained 10lbs back during the summer. Around 64lbs lost (well 74 if you count the weight I gained back) and 48lbs since Sept. I like eating to much and am still struggling with it all. It takes time. Advice, measure your food and look…

:flowerforyou: Sooo true

I understand people saying to not care about loose skin, but it just is not that easy. I have been go slowly to help let my skin go back into place with lotions and scrubs too. Going slow is never fun. I do plan on lifting after I get into a healthy weight range to help. Overall, I hate the way I look. I mean hate it!…

Enjoy the time with your daughter. They grow up way to fast. You look amazing. I do agree with maybe changing your routine up somehow. Maybe you can talk to the doctor about lowering your cals by x amount each week too and see how you do. You can do it!! :smile:

We need some sort of guide for people to go by and no system is perfect. I need to lose a pound according to BMI to be just overweight. Truthfully, I will still be obese until I lose another 10-20lbs. My good weight is at the lower end of the BMI charts.

Thank you for sharing! :flowerforyou:

Congrats! :drinker:

Thank you so much for this. I thought I had an understanding on this fit thing, and now, I will get a full understanding!!

From your profile "God gave me a body, why would I treat it like crap by feeding it crap?" God also gave you a mind, why wasted it by making excuses? You need to seek help for yourself. Angry is not an emotion you want to live with. Also, get a job that you walk to, and living in a shelter, well, people do what they have…

Amazingly awesome job! Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for sharing your story! It is truly inspiring and helpful! :flowerforyou:

Dreamy mommies! :love: I was over weight with all 3 pregnancies and the last two really messed with my flabby tummy. I am hoping I can look at least 25% as well as you lovely ladies do. Keep up the good work. :flowerforyou:

Wow you all look amazing!!

Since no one else has mention it, do you weight all your food? I am sure you have read it since you have been on MFP for a while now, but make sure you are keeping up with that. It helps keep the error of counting down. Try just eating back half your exercise calories at first too. Good luck.

You look great, thank you so much for sharing!

To reach 170 by the beginning of May, have my shins stop bothering me, and to be able run 5mph in the Texas heat. :laugh: My summer body will not be seeing a swimsuit at all, just not close enough to my goals.

Define Skinny or Chubby? I like defining things. :laugh: Putting the medical definition aside, when it comes to one's personal taste, one person's skinny is another chubby. Asking someone if they date girls or guys is not to far off from this. Look, if you do fit into the person you like personal preference, move on. It…

Define Skinny. Define fat chubby. Define chubby. Define overweight. Define obese. Your personal preferences are just that. Your definition versus someone else are going to be different when it comes to personal taste in looks. More power to you for liking who you like, but most woman really do not care what someone else…

Thankfully, I am having pizza for lunch. Thin today, but prefer hand tossed.

Yes this new rules is going to make her super big. She will be able to open that pickle jar without you in no time. Sorry, better to move to another thin g/f.

Congrats. You have done a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing your story.
