You can check out the link below to get an idea of what a certain weight looks like on a specific height. It's only an idea because body types vary, but it should help. cockeyed.com/photos/bodies/heightweight.html

This is perfect timing for me. I'm jumping back into this and I know that these challenges can help me stay on track.

Cook from scratch and read labels. Prepackaged foods can be very high in sodium. Even simple things like chicken broth can be very high in sodium. After a while you'll get used to eating less salty food. Save some of your salt allowance for foods that you can't bear to eat without salt. Like potatoes.

Have you spoken to your doctor about this? It's a tough way to live because it affects everything in your life. Have you considered cognitive behavioral therapy or medication?

You can have those higher calorie days but balance them with lower calorie days. You can plan ahead for days like that by eating a less for a day or two before a get together. You can also eat light for your other meals and be more active the day of the gathering. But also keep in mind that there's nothing you can do about…

Having a bump in the road, believing it's failure, and picking yourself up after it.

Definitely fail week for me. Major fail. Many delicious things were involved. Pizza, beer, cookies, etc. Not that any of those things are bad. I just ate too much of all of them. I have to get it together. My clothes are...well...let's say they're not getting any looser. :s

That would be SO frustrating! If you are consistently eating a calorie deficit and logging faithfully and still haven't lost weight in a few months then you've really plateaued. If it were me I'd take up to a week eating maintenance calories and then cut back again. Also, have you taken measurements? If not, maybe you've…

I'm not sure what you mean. Did you manually change your calorie goal and save it? As you add in what you eat throughout the day it'll do the math for you and show you how many calories you have remaining for the day.
-
In addition to the above, you could save more calories for dinner so you won't go to bed hungry.

Ditto. Lifting weights reshapes and firms the body. Losing pounds will most likely give you the same body, just smaller.

My smallest goal jeans fit. I've been keeping them around for years and they finally fit! Comfortably! Time for a new pair of goal jeans.

I've had one c section and my stomach will never look great. One thing I will say is that lifting weights makes a huge difference. Dieting and doing just cardio makes it look deflated and flappy. Lifting weights pulls it in and up and it's firmer.

I would start out with the easiest possible ab workout. I used this one after I had abdominal surgery a couple of years ago. https://youtube.com/watch?v=E-2nTyxdKA4 You could check with your Dr about the sensation you feel at your incision site if you're concerned.

Yes, you can track sodium here on mfp. I have to watch my sodium, too. That doesn't mean I can't use any salt, though. I just have to limit it. You can make your own seasoning blends - just minus the salt, or much less salt. You can find tons of seasoning blend recipes online.

I just wanted to come back and add that this is a very individual thing to deal with. Everyone speaks from their own experience and it's great that so many people want to be open and honest about their struggles. However, what works for one person may not work for another. What doesn't work for one person may work wonders…

I wanted to point out that you are one step ahead of most people because you are aware that negative thinking is causing your depression. I highly recommend a book called Feeling Good by Dr. David D. Burns. It's cognitive therapy that you can work on on your own. Basically changing your negative thought patterns. Believe…

I sent you a request, too.

The answers to the above questions are very important factors. Definitely answer them to get the help you need.

Are you continuing to stick to a C25k plan and running 3x per week? If not, find one that you like and figure out where you should start in the schedule. Don't jump ahead too far or you'll wear yourself out or worse - get hurt. Start wherever you think you'd feel like you can handle it. Then just go with the routine. You…

I don't have any experience with this. I just wanted to offer a hug. :flowerforyou:

Great thread! I've been doing tons of uphill hiking the past several weeks. My husband keeps looking at my butt and spanks it when I walk by. No words necessary for that compliment.

Another good week of activity for me!
