I am 5'5 and now 166 - I was eating between 1600 and 1750 calories at your weight depending on work outs. I had no issues and did not stall. If you can not eat a lot at one time - stretch them out through the day. Grab higher calorie healthy foods nuts, fruits etc. Make some protein shakes :)
-
First thing I spotted - the milk :/ while milk in moderation is fine you seem to use a lot of calories for chocolate milk and on one day had it as dinner. I would be STARVING You need more nourishing items for meals - protein and veggies!! Breakfast lower the amount of milk if you must have it and have an egg with whole…

Diary is still closed - how tall are you and how much do you weight now? I am 5'5 currently 166 and eat about 1550 calories per day. Monday - Sunday. I have 2 rest days work out the other 5.. I am currently burning between 300 - 450 cals for each workout. I have been using the TDEE method all though MFP actually gives me…

PICTURES :) I did not realize how big I was until I was going through pictures for a memory board. If you REALLY want that motivation - take a picture of yourself full body and place it everywhere you can...if you are sticking to your new lifestyle and working out (even a little walk here and there)..take another picture…

LMFAO!! ohhhh I could eat them all day everyday :) And I too have not bought ANY since starting. Had a couple out of my kid's halloween bag but refuse to buy them. Those, powdered donuts and cheez-its are NOT allowed in the house haha

Not sure of your history - however if it is cold out..then general worry and that is all!! - I have a 20 year old that jogs every day now. The other day it was seriously frozen tears the second you walk out side and she was jogging. I Yelled at her for not wearing more layers etc. And she is following my footsteps in…

Period craziness is so not the cause of birth control :/ I have not been on birth control since 1998 - had twins via c-section and tube litigation in 2005 at the same time - Prior to this my periods were by the calender, light flow and 4 days MAX....now they are ALL over the place (sometimes twice a month) - 5-7 days and…
-
Same thing I say to my husband...weigh yourself ONCE per week ONLY or you will be discouraged. Pick one day a week - and stick to it. Do not touch the scale other than that day :) - 5 days in a row you will have fluctuations. Also my husband is 38 - same weight and height. Does NOT exercise at all and is losing at 1900…
-
I have 3 children (one doesn't live at home anymore) Two are now 8 year old twins. I also for 50 hours per week run an in home daycare. My workouts now are done at nap time. When my own kids are home..I find something to occupy them while I work out (movie,crafts what ever) On occasion nap time does get interrupted (pick…
-
REALLY needed this - this week!! Oddly enough..using one of her DVD's and scale went up with a 4,000 calorie deficit. Thank you for sharing!
-
Close to the same height and check my ticker - I lost that eating between 1550 and 1700 daily :) (1500 were my lazy days BTW) - I started out weighing a little bit more than you... TDEE-% is amazing and will get you where you want to be...have trust in it!! Just make sure you keep it updated when you lose or change your…
-
I have the Fitbit Zip as does my husband. We wear them all day every day. This is to gauge activity not necessarily calorie burn all though using just steps we do get a count. The polar I assume you mean heart rate monitor which will only calculate your cardio burn. You would not wear that all day :) I have a heart rate…
-
Frozen boogers and tear ducts the second you walk out...kind of cold!! LOL All though the weather channel is telling me is 12 degrees...
-
ohhh powdered donuts are NOT allowed in my house. There are very few things that I can not control myself with and those are one of them!! I agree with the others..log it and move on but do not use it as an excuse. Sweet teeth can sometimes be solved by drinking flavored coffee - or keep healthy sweet items on hand (fruit…

Coming from my own child following a compliment on my weight loss from someone else..she says.."Ya I don't know..you look weird now!" WTH??? lol
-
This all the way!! I run an in home daycare with 6 children here at all times 50 hours a week plus I have two of my own children at home. I work out Monday through Friday and sometimes on Saturdays in my own home. Have yet to see a gym :) When I put the DC kids down for a nap - I do my workouts

-
Brothers all natural fruit crisps - between 40 and 45 calories a bag and a nice sweet crunch. LOVE these!! Fiber One products are great too as someone suggested. I am a salt person so I tend to have problems finding stuff there lol but sweet seems like those are everywhere :/ You could also get a sugar free jam and spread…

Was always my vent when shopping " WTF can't I get clothes as cute as Juniors?"...{{giggle}} now...I can ;) I worked for it...and I appreciate the new privilege! I have seen some VERY well dressed larger woman...what they choose to wear, how they carry themselves and how they are shaped I think played a part on their…
-
LOL Yes that is the sheet I am using. I will try that - Thank you :) Just felt really uncomfortable about my calorie goal being so high with such a small burn. :/ Thank you everyone !!!
-
LMAO!! I started out with 1200 and was STARVING!! That was a recipe for failure for me and I knew it. Found the TDEE-% and the rest is history :)
-
No one :( bad timing post? LOL
-
Trying to become a fan of frozen bananas, so far I am not...will have to try this :) TX
-
I agree with this ^^ when I weighed more the TDEE-% worked wonders for me. But once I hit 173 lbs it no longer did. I am 5'5 also about 200 minutes per week of actual exercise (straight cardio) - my calorie goal per TDEE-% was 1720 per week I ate just over 1600 and gained!! Estimated of 1550 per day (and using zig zagging)…

hmmmm sound simple and possibilities are endless!! Going to try :) Thanks!

To help the hubby lose weight without depriving him I have been finding some great alternatives to his favorite foods: Hamburgers smothered with mushrooms and onions is one ;) I use Laura's Lean beef with whole wheat bun - he gets his burger and loses weight :) win - win I have tried ground turkey, chicken and pork and…
-
Thats a whole lot of burger...and truth be told would not even attempt that when I was not trying to lose weight LOL...however now I do want a croissant. Having burgers for dinner and may just use a croissant for the bun instead YUM!
