If you cant exercise then portion control will be the key. Get a food scale and measure everything that you eat and prepare. Focus the meals around protein, that will keep you full. Also please eat more than 900 calories a day. Your body needs proper fuel to function. Set the mfp settings to a reasonable level and net at…

I use a Health O Meter scale that I got from Walmart for about $20 last year. I weigh myself everyday, first thing in the morning, without clothes on and after I use the bathroom. It's worked for me so far. Just pick one scale to use for your measurements and consistently use that. Different scales will give you different…

What is your current daily calories? What is your weekly weight loss goal? I don't purposely do cheat days. I just save them for the occasional day where I have no control over my calories, such as birthday parties, weddings, holidays, etc. If I want something I will find a way to fit it into my daily calories, I regularly…

Campus is closed for the second day in a row due to snow! So I got to sleep in and have another relaxing day.

I love Trefoils, Tagalongs, and Do-si-dos. I also love Thanks a lots, but they're not selling those where I live. I'm actually really good about controlling myself when I'm eating them. Since I only get a few boxes a year I want to make them last, also because I'm a college student so any food that I'm given I am going to…

You're setting yourself up for a very tough time if you're limiting yourself to only 1200 calories while engaging in daily exercise. We're around the same age, I can sit around all day eat 1500 calories and lose weight, you can and should eat more food, especially when you're exercising. Give yourself a rest day from the…

I'm on my last 15 lbs too, I want to be 120, and I'm hovering between 129 and 130. What helped me was joining a challenge to lose only a 1/2 lb per week, which kept me accountable and losing at a slow, but steady rate (I'm also a girl so I automatically lose weight slower). These past few weeks I've also experienced the…

When I started in February 2013 I was 5'2 and 159 lbs, right now I'm hovering 129-130. I would like to be at 125, with an ultimate goal weight of 120. I didn't start seriously logging my calories on here until mid-July (I was using another app). I had some set backs, like a month of insomnia because of school, a super busy…

Yep, I am! I've been exercising all week and tonight I'm going out with a friend for one drink and maybe an appetizer, and then tomorrow we're celebrating my aunt and uncle's birthday so there will be cake of some kind. I'm going to try to exercise Saturday morning if I get up early enough. If not it's no big deal, I have…

Right now I'm an 8, I would like to go down another size and be a comfortable 6. I have a large muscular frame so I probably won't be able to get any smaller. I wouldn't complain if I maintained my current weight. My prom dress from 4 years ago was a 15/16, and lately when I've been feeling big I put that on and it's such…

Most days my breakfast is under 200 calories. It's normally eggs, toast, slim fast, or a small portion of leftovers. I'm not a big breakfast fan and I'm not very hungry in the morning, so I just eat enough to feel satisfied until lunch. Today I woke up at 930 so all I had was a fiber one brownie, then after shoveling some…

I normally do. On days where I have huge burns I like to net around 1300 just in case the machine or my measurements were off. I haven't for the past 3 weeks because of the holidays, but once school starts again I plan to eat almost all of my exercise calories back. If I earned it, I'm gonna eat it.

Meh. I'm patient enough and I can just wait until I have to do something (birthday dinners, weddings, a dinner with friends, holiday) so about once a month I go over. Other than that I can pretty much fit anything that I want to eat into my daily budget, and if I want more I'll exercise to earn it. I'm also on the last 10…

You have to be 21 to buy alcohol in the USA. So 21st birthdays are normally a big celebration here.

Nope. The MFP police will come and track you down. They will make you find out how many calories are in every single item, weigh the food, log it, and then make you exercise it off. Just kidding. Of course it's allowed. Birthdays, Thanksgiving,and Christmas don't count. Go and enjoy your day, and happy birthday!

-5 F in Missouri. Yesterday when I woke up it was -8 with a windchill of -37. Our sliding glass door is literally frozen shut. A lot of school districts were suppose to start classes again on Monday, but the kids got two extra days because of the extreme cold.

Yep, I'm going through that too. Even at 159 at 5'2" I only had a largish B cup, down to about 130 and now they're down to a small B. It sucks but I've accepted it. I'll take being healthy and able to walk into any store and not worry if something will fit over larger boobs anyway.

This thread is so fitting, I just used my gazelle for the first time in 6 weeks (roads were too bad to go to the gym). I used my HRM with a chest strap and i burnt 440 calories in 40 minutes, so you can definitely get a great workout out of one. I use it while watching a tv show or two. It's very quiet, low impact, and…

No, not intentionally. I try to stay under everyday and save up a bit for when life happens. About once a month something will happen where I'll end up having to go over no matter what I do. I recently went to a wedding, so I had no control over the types of food. Even though I ate very little before and during the wedding…

I LOVE pizza, and in order to get my fix I usually make individual tortilla pizzas. I like using: low carb tortillas- 60 calories pizza sauce- 30 calories 1-1.5 servings of mozzarella cheese- 80-120 Chicken or turkey pepperoni- 50 calories Italian seasoning and oregano So the whole pizza is about 220-260 calories,…

Nope. Do what works for you. I'm not very hungry in the mornings and I keep my breakfast to around 200 calories and my meals get progressively larger throughout the day. And if I have a really good workout at night and I need to eat a lot more I'll easily consume a few hundred calories to get my net up to a certain point.

Nope, I've just maintained for the past two weeks. Since I'm losing weight very slowly I didn't want to gain too much, since it would take me a while to work it off. I've had a few red days this past month, and starting Friday I will really get back on track. Yes, let your body's organs (liver, kidneys, spleen, etc) do…

I'm most like someone from Germany. Your numbers Obesity Index 23bmi BMI is an estimate of how "overweight" or "obese" a person is National Below average You have a lower BMI than 74% of females aged 15-29 in your country Global Above average You have a higher BMI than 64% of females aged 15-29 in the world Did you know?…

Yes. My roommate and I started fostering dogs 2 months ago. I can't wait to see who we'll get for this upcoming semester. The first one didn't get along with her dog, the second one was placed in a rescue organization a week after we had him, but we loved the last one! We had her for nearly a month and it was so rewarding…

To make at least one friend before I graduate from college in December. So far 3 semesters at a 30,000+ student body school hasn't worked out for me, maybe the last two will be better.

About 10 months. I'm 5'2 and went from 159 to 129. From late February to early July I lost my first 15 lbs, but I also had two extremely stressful months of school where I wasn't really trying to lose weight. Since July I have lost an additional 15 lbs. I only have 10 more to lose so my weight loss has slowed down a bit,…

That's a pretty tall goal. We're the same height and I started at 159 in February, and have just now lost 30 lbs, but I had one extremely stressful semester where my weight wouldn't budge no matter what. What is your final goal weight? Cutting out fast food and soda is a good start, but not completely necessary. With…

I've been set at a 1/2 lb a week since September, I have steadily lost the weight, and actually a bit more than expected. I joined a thread where everyone was set a a 1/2 lb a week, so there are others out there. I like the slow and steady approach, I'm now within the last 5-10 lbs of my goal, and I'm not going to restrict…

Wow! Your list sounds a lot better than when I had my teeth removed. I just lived for 3 days on a milkshake, few servings of applesauce and a snack pack. My mother also purchased fat-free, no sugar added ice cream, I could no even make myself eat it when I was starving :noway: You should be fine with your list of foods.…

I weigh myself first thing in the morning everyday. I've only "gained" 2 lbs since Tuesday. I've only had two days of overeating, totaling 1,100 extra calories, but I built myself a nice little deficit earlier in the week so that I could eat what I wanted. Here's a look at my numbers: Monday- 129.4 (weigh in day) Tuesday-…
