I'm 5'10" and go for 3-4" and usually they are wedges...I'm no good in stilettos. I have a bum knee and work in a VERY casual workplace. Love it that so many of you are into heels!

request sent! i'm on the same path. mom to 13 year old too. turning 40 in june...

What's your name? Catherine Where do you live? Colorado What are your food vices/ cheats? year round - maybe ice cream; over the holidays - pecan pie and entstrom's almond toffee What do you think is holding you back from being in your TOP shape? not hitting the weights on a consistent basis (like 3-4 times a week. i'm…

Ditto for me! 5'10" SW: 158 CW: 141 GW: 135-140? Just want to be toned so not sure about GW

40 in 1 month! Feel free to add me :-). I log every day and try to comment as often as possible. Thanks!

Face, boobs, then butt...good on 1, bad on 2 and 3 :cry: I'm starting to work on the butt issue. Nothing I can naturally really do about the boobs.

I too have had to up my calories several times since joining MFP in January - even since my response above. Those MFP numbers are just WAY too low for me. No way no how could I only eat 1,270 a day on a regular basis. My TDEE at moderately active is 2151. I read somewhere that since I'm really close to my goal weight I…

Going on 40 and started MFP in Jan. '13. Turning 40 is a big wake up call! Just have a couple of friends at this point but I log every day and am starting to read the message boards more often, etc. - add me if you'd like. I'm working at sticking with MFP better than I've done with facebook...oops. Good luck to you!

Maybe you need to pepper your diet with healthier sweets like fruit more often during the day to try to stave off that evening sweet tooth. I have a BIG sweet tooth. I've been on a fruit kick lately and eat different kinds of fruit a couple of times a day. I'm finding that lately I actually crave fruit now versus a lot of…

TOTALLY AGREE!! Thank you! And speaking to other posters comments about portion size for kids, I don't control that at all. I let him eat how much he wants to eat (as long as there is some left and if there's not we find something else)...the kid is sprouting like a bean and I would not put any limitation on his portion…

This is my son almost to a T (minus quinoa and he does love meat). He's 13 and 85 lbs...tall and a skinny minny. He was always in the lowest weight % and when he was a baby docs always told me he was too skinny and too fatten him up (one said give him all the Haagen Daaz he wants). He's in the 40% now for weight and 95%…

I'm 5'10" and have this problem...God only knows all the places my body was storing fat. Ugh. Easier said than done but try to stay on your path and don't listen to these debbie downers. Do you feel different/better with your loss? After my 1st 10, I didn't feel or look amazing but what I did realize was "I can do this!"…

I never liked sweet potatoes until about 2 years ago and then I would just have them at T-giving (mashed with pecans, bananas, and brown sugar). Now I eat them every week in some form or fashion. My 3 favorite sweet potato recipes right now are: 1) Sweet Potato Nachos (Recipe from Door-to-Door Organics) 5 ounces goat…

If using the MFP method, you have to be sure you're not over-inflating the calories burned from exercise as some of the other people have said. I've read over and over that MFP generic estimates on calories burned walking, doing a particular cardio machine, etc., are inflated. I myself don't wear a heart rate monitor or a…

I'm newer on MFP so keep that in mind :-). I hope you don't give up. Losing 30 lbs is a huge accomplishment - be proud! The fact that you're acknowledging you're on a plateau is proof you're still in this game. I'm still tweaking my diet and trying to figure things out myself but just skimming some of your days, I'm…

Started MFP on Jan. 23, 2013. I'm 5'10" and female. My stats in January: SW: 158 lbs BF% (military): 33.9%* *I didn't know about BF% in January but had done all my measurements when I joined MFP...just plugged in my stats from Jan. to see what my military BF% was and sure was shocked!! My stats on April 22: CW: 142.2 lbs…

these look awesome...trying them tomorrow! thx for posting :).

Ouch! Make sure your tennis shoes aren't worn out...and be prepared to replace them much more often the more active you become. I swear by Asics (Kayanos or 2100 series for over pronators / stability) because I feel like I'm walking on clouds when I wear them...but everyone is different! If you don't know your foot type,…

I would carry something too if I was running outside at night. Someone posted a pic of those compression shorts with a gun holder and I thought they were so cool...just need to buy the gun to go with and actually run LOL.

If it were me, I would look at him one last time, turn around, and walk away - no RUN AWAY - and don't EVER look back. I wouldn't waste once more ounce of energy on this jerk off. Spend your energy on you and the people who deserve YOU.

Decadence...but not really!! Can't wait to try - thanks for posting! :flowerforyou:

Can't wait to try these - thanks for sharing!

I make 5-6 servings of steel cut oats on Sunday, put them in glass storage bowls with my fav toppings (almonds, walnuts, turbinado sugar, milk, butter), and then I'm ready for the week. I'm always rushed weekday mornings so I've got to have the cooking done in advance. I love eggs/bacon on the weekends though. I never get…

I'm newer to MFP (Jan 2013). I log every day (sometimes pretty late in the day). Feel free to add me. Glad you're recovering from surgery and able to get started again!

Thanks for posting this! I'm newer to MFP (Jan. 2013) and have begun to notice some of my patterns...the big one is that I tend to "clock out" on Sundays and Mondays (dinners). Those are sort of the 2 days I'm scrambling to try to get my family ready and organized for the week. Also, I always have a really hard workout on…

I don't even track sugar...have no idea how much I'm eating and have still seen decent results. While I have a definite sweet tooth I try to satisfy it with fruit but do indulge in dark chocolate in small quantities day to day. Tonight I "splurged" and had a klondike heath bar but that's not my norm.

I'm 5'10" with an inseam of 35"-36". Joes, Citizens of Humanity, 7 for All Mankind have been my go to jeans. I don't know if the Citizens and 7s are still made extra long. I bought them all at Nordstroms and they've lasted several years. these brands work for me not only because of their extra long length but also because…
