I'm 5'3" and I would feel good at 135 and I am small boned. I am 160's right now and any loss would be good.

This works out good I think

Wow...lots of good ideas! Thanks everyone!

No I don't. Was looking to put it under HIIT but don't see that as a choice?

You could try lower carb but be sensible. I've tried low carb and I did lose weight but I also got bad headaches and constipation. Then when I stopped all the weight came back and brought more with it. Everything in moderation.

I don't weigh my food. I can't imagine having to do so. Could it be water weight? I'm 45 and its sooo easy to gain now and I fluctuate more. Getting weight off practically takes an act of god! Give it some time and it might level out!

How do u know how many carbs and protein you need daily? My goal is 1400 calories a day also.

Same thing happened to me plus I didn't eat fruits and veggies! Back to it tomorrow.

Hardboiled eggs, beef jerky, protein bars

Keep doing squats, lunges, and donkey kicks. It sucks everything goes south after awhile. Bob Harper from biggest loser recently put on facebook.....SQUAT ~because noone ever wrote a song about a small *kitten*! LoL

I will add you. I post daily right now because I'm off work for summer but once school starts it won't be constant. My eating is hard so I like to see what others are doing too.

I'm trying to lose 30#. When in menopause that isn't easy. You can friend me. I'm in a cool group called 30LC. We are all trying to drop atleast thirty pounds

I sent you a friend request. I'm 45 and I always gain in the winter. It used to come off in summer but now its hanging around and bringing friends! I have 30# to lose and am trying to improve my eating after friends saw too much processed food in my diary. Gotta keep trying!

I posted almost the exact same thing today! Except I'm gaining weight. I am struggling with 1200 calories too. Having people see my diary helped and I think I have some ideas now. You can friend me if you'd like. I'm in the same boat!

Tiffany thanks for info. I'm going to look into the diets you are using. I'm scared of all fruits and veggies right now! Ladybos thanks for your opinion on my diary. I had flipped off of anything with fiber after a bad episode and I'm struggling to find that middle ground right now. I will look into more real food and look…

That is a lot of info I didn't know wolfman...thanks. I had no idea you could fluctuate that much due to fluid. Good to know!

Ok food diary is unlocked

Buzy I set my weight loss goals to 1.5# per week. Maybe that is hoping for too much? How do you open your food diary?

Going to follow this....I'm a DD and have to wear two regular price sports bras!

I recently learned to make kale chips and love them. Also, beef jerky, popcorn, fruit, spoon of peanutbutter, ants on a log.

I will try the green smoothie idea. I've seen them on tv recently. Good idea...thanks

I make my own popcorn in a brown paper bag in microwave so I can put what I want on it. I also have a great recipe for the roasted sugar almonds you can buy at the mall but I use truvia for sweetener. Tastes just like them! Also, mozzarella string cheese, little cutie oranges, homemade breakfast cookies.

I agree everyone has pretty much said it all. I'm trying to lose 30 pounds but not having much luck. I hope friends will keep me accountable. I will friend you and cheer you on!

I am also new to the group. I've used mfp on and off for a year. No accountability though. I'm 45 and was put into surgically induced menopause in my late 30's when we found I had ovarian cancer. I'm a 8 year survivor now but was warned by docs by weight would creep up. Well,now I have 30 pounds I'm tired of looking at. I…

Ugh....still at 164. No loss :-(

There is a due called MKTO that pop up a lot..songs classic and forever until tomorrow. Rihanna, only girl in the world. Anything by Bruno Mars..lol.

We have some good ideas! Even little bits add up!

I like taio cruz, dynamite....usher, more....maroon 5, last chance. Those beats work for walking but you might need something faster for running or spinning.

I was just going to ask how often you all weigh in. For me, its Sunday but I can do Fridays.

I was forced into menopause in my late 30's when I found I had ovarian cancer. I am now 45 and menopause make losing weight 50 times harder. You have to eat better and get more exercise then ever before. I could drop weight easily before all that...Now I have 30 pounds to drop and its hanging on for all its worth!
