All good stuff and some of which definitely apply to me. Working on them now. Thanks for the great post!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I love your posts...always so inspiring. You don't even have to say much since the photos tell us so much more! You and a few others on MFP have convinced me that its time to do some serious lifting. Thank you so much for sharing your story and your awesome photos!

Me me me!!!

You can make salsa with either one.

BUMP...I think I finally understand!

I'm 5'1" 140 lbs & workout 3-4/week. I was eating 1200 until last week when I read ^^^this guy's posts! I recently upped it to 1600.

OMFG!!! Best thread ever...

Aloha & welcome to MFP! Great job on joining the office bet and the 11lb loss so far!

I have eczema and I did as a child too. Surprise, surprise my 3 children have it as well. For my daughter, hers are caused by food allergies and my son his are his environmental allergies. My children's allergist has always pointed out that eczema that appears in the body's creases & folds (behind the knees, arm folds,…

Me me me!!! I do AND I LOVE it! Been going for the last 2 years now. It's much more than what you're paying for your current gym but for me its worth it. I go 3-4x a week. The one I go to has the bare minimum in cardio machine, a decent amount of free weights & strength machines, boxing ring and bag cage (30-35 heavy bags)…

Awesome story! So motivating for the rest of us too! Thanks for sharing and congratulations to you!

I was thinking the same thing last week when I came across this post recommended in another post. Definitely a must read! After reading this post I made some changes. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

I'm 5'1" =) Feel free to add me everybody!

Thanks for the tips! Working on changing a few things up & your physical challenges are a great idea to include.

Just got home from doing an hour of kickboxing class.

Thanks to beachlover317 for posting link too!

I just redid my numbers as well and after reading the link I think I understand why I lost 2.5 lbs my first week but a whole lotta nothing since then. I went by the recommended MFP daily calories of 1200...clearly not enough! Thanks again OP!

Thanks for the link! This is exactly the information I've been looking for!

3/4 cup of sliced strawberries mixed w 1/4 cup of blueberries

For those of you that log in those 3 grapes, do you also log in walking up 3 flights of stairs as part of your cardio exercise for the day? I see this come up as some people's status updates and it never occurred to me to log either one.

Great job! You can really see a difference in your arms and your middle! Keep it up!

Great job on taking up such a challenging exercise regimen after just having had a baby less than 4 months ago. I didn't even give exercise any thought til after my 6 month maternity leave was up. Don't be too hard on yourself as it took 9 months to gain that pregnancy weight. You might want to take measurements as they…

Great thread! Thanks!

5'1" Here...shorties unite!

Sounds delicious especially w/the modification of coffee instead of water. Definitely will try this one!

THIS is great advice AndiJoy812!

I agree with the making sure to get your kids to eat at least 5 fruits & vegetables & just getting in walking or other enjoyable activity for 30 mins daily. Sometimes when my kids ask for a snack, I immediately ask how many fruits they had & if they know they haven't reached their minimum they grab a banana, apple or…

I have been considering it myself but love my cardio (kickboxing) as it also serves as a great stress reliever for me too. I'd love to hear about your progress if you all don't mind sharing.
