I'm not sure of your stats(height, weight, etc.), but it's generally recommended that women eat no less than 1200 net calories. I'm a shorty (4'11") so I figure I don't need quite as many calories as most women. That said - I try to make sure I get in at least 1200 calories - period - I hardly ever look at my net calories.…

This made me LOL!

Agreed! :flowerforyou:

What a difference! You look great! Keep up the good work!

According to the site: http://www.shopyourshape.com/calculate-your-body-shape.html the pear and the spoon are two different body shapes. The hips of a pear are more sloped than the hips of a spoon (which tend to have defined upper hips which appear to create a "shelf"). With my boobs and defined waist, I always thought I…

The last minute cancellation isn't the problem... it's not having the courtesy to keep you in the loop. I wouldn't go out with him if I were you.

Congrats on the NSV! Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:

Just for today: I will work on (and hopefully submit) that pesky application.

Just for today: I will be proud of myself for those things I have accomplished instead of disappointed in myself over those I have not.

I'm on fluoxetine as well. When I first started it I also noticed a decreased appetite. My appetite did come back, but I can't remember how long it took. In the meantime, try to eat some calorie dense foods when you can eat - peanut butter, avocado, full fat cheese. That should help some.

You may been overestimating the exercise calories you're burning. The MFP calorie goal is created assuming zero exercise in addition to the regular daily activity you input to create it. In theory, assuming you regularly stay below your daily calorie goal, there is no need to exercise achieve the 1-2lb/wk loss you set.…

You look healthy and beautiful! It's clear you've been putting in a lot of hard work - and it's paying off!

This is a great idea for the time being, but what happens when you two get more serious and you move in together? Then you won't be able to simply throw out those things you don't want in the house. Also, since you look young, I assume that you will want children one day (I apologize if this isn't the case)... Will he be…

I hope the sobs were tears of joy! Congrats on the NSV!

I found the same. The trash came pouring in when I first signed up - both through emails and IMs. Thankfully, someone pointed out these filters to me pretty early on. Since then, most of the uber-forward guys have been filtered by the system. I have actually gone on a few nice dates from POF. My favorite site is…

Welcome! :flowerforyou: I'm thirty-seven as well! I started here in January of 2011 and have since lost almost 40 lbs. I took a hiatus for a long while, but am trying to myself back into the swing of things. I've got about 5 more pounds to go until I reach my original goal weight and reevaluate the situation. I'm thinking…

Add some strength training to your routine. Muscle burns more calories than fat burns. As for your diet - just like many people have already said... Make sure you're diet is filled with good quality, nutrient-rich foods - fruits, veges, whole grains. Fast-food and the other highly processed stuff you're eating is gives you…

I got only as far as Level 2 of the 30DS, but I do think it aided in my weight loss. I like it, but it does get a bit monotonous. The push-ups and planks (in L2) really kick my butt. I hope to start again once I get back to exercising! As for my goal weight... I'm 4'10.5" (every little bit counts) my current goal is 115.…

Congrats! You look healthy and beautiful! :flowerforyou:

Thanks so much for sharing your story! I think it's so important to know that we'll have set backs, like you did, but that if we persevere we will get to where we need to be. You're story illustrates that so nicely. You look fantastic! Keep up the great work! :flowerforyou:

Great NSV! Is your boss always so thoughtful? Must be nice ;)

Here are my immediate thoughts: - All of us tend to over estimate our exercise calories burned (especially w/o an HRM) and underestimate our calories consumed. So if you're over your calories by your count, my guess is that you're over by even more than you think. It might not be a huge amount, but it gives you an even…

My first celebrity crush was on Trey Ames from the little remembered show "A Year in the Life" I think he's a born again Christian nowadays... not the ideal match for this little Jewish girl. My first real life crush was on Peter Thompson - in my first grade class.

Thanks for sharing!

I'm betting he commented about you to your friends and that they "put him up to it" only in as much as making him tell you to your face. I'm guessing the sentiment was all him! Keep up the great work! :flowerforyou:

Congrats on your 30 lbs lost! I agree with the others... step away from the scale. ;-) As for moving past your plateau, you may find this old thread helpful: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/113609-relatively-light-people-trying-to-get-leaner?hl=relatively+light

It might not be fair, or right. But since I'm looking for a job - and I've dropped almost 35 lbs from my 4'11" frame - I'll take it! Show me the money!!!! :bigsmile:

Nope... but I'd love to hear about it. Maybe I'll work myself up to participating in it next year! Good luck and have a blast!

LOL! That's just not right, though! You can't sing the praises of this wonderous tea without specifying exactly what type (and brand if necessary) of tea it is! The poor OP will still be poopless!
