I'm also 5'2. Started at 147lbs (according to my home scale) with a tight size 10 pant, and 34B bra, medium shirts - large if they cover my lower hips/booty. I am very pear/bottom heavy. My current weight is 140lbs. I haven't lost much weight, mostly water weight in the first week, but have lost over 10 inches the past…

9 inches is amazing! You may have some water retention, especially if you drink very little water and/or have high amounts of sodium... How long has it been since you started to try and lose weight? Otherwise consult your doctor.

Vitamin D, non salt based spices or seasonings, herbal teas without sweeteners, small tasting foods while cooking.

4/1-2 miles 4/2 - 1 mile 3 total

Yes, yes, there are almost as many branches of paganism as there are pagans! Paganism is a very individualistic religion. Trying to have pagans conform to a standard would be like trying to herd cats...

Me Four! - in more of a kitchen/Hedge witchy sort of bent. Most Wiccans or Pagans worship a duel type deity- both God and Goddess

I would say find some other hobbies, and make a few new friends who are supportive. Don't completely cut yourself off from your old friends, a lot of what they say is from thier own denial, but try to do activities with them that don't involve food.

Welcome! Nine pounds in 21 days is awesome!! The lack of weight loss this week may due to water weight, or hormones.

Sure! I like to walk and hike. Now that the weather is warming I actually can walk out side more. I'll start with a goal of 36 miles and adjust from there.

1200cals seems very low for how active you are, especially if your nutritionist is concerned about a "starvation mode". MPF is notorious for giving most everyone 1200 cals to start with. I am 5'2 140 lbs- and eat about 1600 cals a day and still lose weight. I would suggest that you make sure you have activity level active,…

This is me! I need 9 to 10 hours of sleep to feel fully rested. Even when not having seasonal depression issues, some of us just need a bit more sleep. I can have severe depression in the winter. I found that a daily dose of vitamin E helps tremendously. Your body needs sunlight to make Vitamin E. Since I live in the cold…

I am also Hypoglycemic... was diagnosed when I was a teen. Feel free to add me also

When I was working I would keep dark chocolate squares within reach (Dove are my favorites), they don't have a ton of sugar to keep you from spiking way up again, plus some bits of protein and fats to steady everything, so the sugar cycle comes to a halt. If melting is an issue you can keep hard candies in your pocket. I…

I have the same issue with my husband and my son... My husband can eat 3/4 of a family size bag of chips in a sitting 3 or 4 times a week and not gain anything. My suggestion is to make the yummy foods your husband enjoys with some healthier versions- like substituting white carbs for whole grains, and leaner proteins.…

For those of you who do belly dancing at home - What are your favorite belly dance DVD's or instructors?

I am occasionally sore they next day if I over did it... like 45 min of belly dancing plus walking a couple miles, and around the house stuff... But I also have fibro issues to deal with...

Hello and bright blessings! I am Raven Rose.I am more of a hedge/kitchen witch. I am 29 years old, and practically grew up pagan. I have been married almost nine years and have one son who is wise beyond his years and too smart for his own good! I have been on MFP for a couple of weeks now. I am trying to lose about 25…

A am also a pagan looking for some like minded friends! I am more of a hedge/kitchen witch. I try to eat organic and local and I am leaving the chemicals behind.

I like belly dancing and am learning the basics. Although I don't believe I will ever be coordinated enough to be good at it, it's fun and I enjoy it.

I often use my slow cooker to cook dry beans in. I also have used them for smoky veggie chilli. The measurements are all an approximation. I take a couple of finely chopped dried smoked peppers (chipoltle or ancho are my favorite) and 2-3 finely diced garlic cloves in a saucepan and saute them on low in a couple…

I have used plain Hummus as a substitute for cream cheese in a taco dip, Mixed with taco seasoning, there is very little difference. My vegan friends loved it!

looks like the typical well taken care of family farm from around here... Unforturnaly it is the few bad ones that ruin it for everyone else.

A good friend of mine in high school was Misty Woods. She had a lot of trouble finding jobs, but was glad she wasn't a boy.Her Mom had said that if she would have been a boy, It would have been named Loston.

Ugg..I have bloating for almost 3 weeks and start to loose it the week after.... and severe cramps 3-4 days. So I am out at least a week. luckily I only have my period every 3-4 months.

I was raised with either or, depending what was on hand and how many were around to feed....

I am also 5'2 with a small frame. For a while I was battling with keeping weight on (years ago). At 95lbs, a size 2 (ten years ago sizing has since changed) I looked like a stick figure- way too skinny. I was always looked healthy at 105-110, and finally had some curves at 115. My current goal is 120-125lbs, once I get…
