I must be a special snow flake! I lost it all in my torso so far. the plus side, my stomach has shrunk a whole lot. the down side, so have my boobies. (I don't really think I'm a special snow flake... I just always wanted to say that! haha) ETA: darn, someone beat me to the upperbody loss

I hope you meant to say a half a pound a week! a half a pound a day would be scary and unhealthy!

I would agree with Ireed as well, that is all solid advice. I started out with very similar stats as you (22, 5'2", 167 lbs) with very similar goals (130-135). MFP did originally set me at 1200 lbs too, but that is really way too low for ladies at our age who are quite active. Good Luck! start by reading this post :…

I don't understand the rush. As everyone always says, you didn't put on the weight in 30 days, you won't lose it in 30 days either. Take it slow and steady. With only 50 lbs to lose I would aim for 1 lb to 1.5 lb loss/week. Eat at a proper deficit, with proper nutrition, and move more. It will be much more sustainable in…

from http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ that looks exactly right! Don't log your exercise (or if you want to, i like to, put in 1 calorie burned no matter how many minutes you performed it for). I would give yourself 4-6 weeks of eating like this (make sure you log everything) and then adjust based on how much…

I used to do the same exact thing! (sometimes when I kind of fall off the wagon I will still do this, it's a hard habit to break) I would also tell myself, "Well I still have all of these _____ [insert various treat: brownies, cookies, ice cream, candy], I would hate for them to go to waste. I will start as soon as they're…

For the past couple of months, I've been following new rules of lifting for women. I run during the day at work (around 12:30pm) for 45 minutes and then lift after work (around 5:00 pm) for 60 minutes: both on the same day, three times a week. That also leaves room for a run on the weekends, or hiking because I like to…

Friday I went for a walk with the boyfriend after work, then we went out to dinner at a Mexican Restaurant and had a couple of drinks (mmm Sangria). Saturday I went for a run at Mt. Tom Reservoir... it was very peaceful and pretty, only a few other people some ducks crossed my path. I started to lift on Saturday, but my…

That's so awesome and very inspiring! Way to go!

Grams is a measurement of weight, Cups is a measurement of volume. if you have two cups of cantaloupe, it's obviously a guestimation and it's not an accurate measurement because the cantaloupe (even if you "filled" up two measuring cups of canteloupe) doesn't properly fit the measuring container. it's something that needs…

Friday night I did not have date night, we just hung out around home and ate leftovers... so definitely healthier than going out to eat, and no booze. Saturday I ended up being the one to skip out on running due to the rain, the reservior where I wanted to run had flooding on the paths =( but I did lift!! so, go me! I…

Those are all great NSVs!! Congrats! I have a part NSV, part sad sad realization. I was looking at my progress pictures yesterday and I noticed I'm getting quite the bah-dunk-a-dunk! and my belly has gotten much much smaller! but my boobs... sigh... may they rest in peace. (though I will admit that I obviously noticed my…

nothing exciting really going on here. I will be walking at lunch time today, but no other exercise for today. Tonight is my date night with the boyfriend, so I will make the healthiest choices possible and limit any boozing to 2 drinks (as for saturday too). Saturday I need to workout: running and lifting. Should be rainy…

Yes, I would weigh if I were you. Here's an example as to why... Last weekend I was making waffles. Simple recipe. I was only going to use measuring cups when making it and put it into my recipe builder based on that. Good thing I changed my mind! the serving size for my whole wheat flour was 1/4 cup (32 grams) but when I…

Great post! very helpful!

It's not much of a gain, so be sure to drink plenty of water the next few days and I'm sure it'll go away. Other than that you have a pretty solid plan for getting back on track! Good Luck! And just for Mule.... You got this!! :laugh:

This week I want to get in at least 3 runs (1 down, 2 to go), lift twice, and do some outside woodsy activity at least one of the days this weekend (whether it be run, walk, or hike I don't care!) I find exercise is a great way to offset some bad eating/lack of control. Looks like everyone has some solid plans =)
