  • Honestly I think I have tried everything out there only to learn that they don't work. What I take now has more to do with what I am short in like iron and d3 anything else is a waste
  • I just pick a weight that felt good at in the past. I may not feel the same as I lose. But atm I am good with the number I choose although I'm not married to it.
  • Your BMRis 2487 and yoru TDEE is 2985 and that is at the lowest setting of little or no exercise. So your TDEE -20% is 2388. So yeah 1000-1200 is way to low! Eat TDEE 2388 move a little and you'll get there.
  • 105-140 anything in that range would be great! In other words, the better question I have for you is how do you feel about your weight? Only you know what is best for you! We are all so different.
  • Some days yes and some days no. I have to agree that on days that I exercise a tun I seem to have it together better. Stress seems to play a bigger role in my issues.
  • Screwy as it sounds it makes perfect sense. You aren't eating enough to fuel your workouts so your body is becoming more efficant at dealing with the calories you are giving it. Not looking at the rest of your stats it sounds like you need to up your calories by around 500 a day. Look up a TDEE calculator and figure out…
  • Chances are it is just water weight if you aren't doing anything different. Or it may just be the hbc you are on. since there are so many different pills out there and everbody is different it's really hard to tell. I used the depo and it bled straight for 3 months and gained 30lbs in 3 weeks. My sister in-law used it and…
  • Can I slap the people who told you that???? I would kill to weigh 122lbs right now and I am 2 inches shorter than you!!!!! You are not fat. You were not fat. My mother was 5'7" and weighed 109lbs and she looked like walking death! When she started body building and gained weight all in mucsle she looked fabulous! That and…
  • Well looking at your diary, It kinda looks like you are all over the place in your eating/ logging. I see that you are very good at logging for breakfast but by the time you hit dinner one day is skipped and one your had cookies for dinner? I would say you need some more whole foods and veggies in the rest of your diet. I…
  • I can't see your diary so it's hard to tell what is actually going on with you. All I can say though is I wish I had this issue!
  • Wow this post made my day!!!:wink: I am still at the beginning of my journey. But with posts like this it makes me realize I can do this too! Great job and keep up the good work!
  • Well that is a question that only you can answer. Health wise your weight is just fine. but how do you feel about your weight? Personally I am the exact same as you but I still have the weight to lose. I think I would be really happy at that weight. I have mine set for 120 but 130 is the weight I am really aiming for where…
  • well I was going to say an egg till I read the rest of your post and you have me stumped. I guess 1 day under your calorie goal isn't the end of the world or maybe some almonds? but dang that's protein to...
  • Go with fit. Fit girls always look better!!!!! You look amazing in that picture!!!!
  • I have been told I look very young but I am a 36 year old mother of 4 bio kids and 2 wonderful stepsons that are 20 and just turned 22 today!
  • Breastfeeding burns between 300-700 calories a day I think she was using that as 1 session and then adding in rest all in 1 feeding rather than the most likely 1 1/2-2hrs that she is actually feeding her baby throughout the day. Your calories may be to low. I would try the TDEE -20% method. but for your calories for the…
  • Where shall I start... it can make your bladder over active making you feel like you have to pee like 20 times a day. The phoshoric acid eats up the lining of your stomach and I have heard that it stop you from absorbing calcium. It can cause cancer but you would have to drink stupid amounts of it every day for years like…
  • Yep! I log everything water coffee diet coke vitamins. I even try to log the little marshmallows that I steal out of my kids lucky charms in the morning!

  • The only thing I have learned about boobs bras tissue versus fat in your boobs is that it changes a lot and all the time! I breastfed all 4 of my kids. I think I have a bra in almost ever freaking size that make ranging from a 32 b to a 40 F. Cup size is relative to your band size. so a 32f is actually a tun smaller than a…
  • I have the ame fear that I will underestimate my calories. So I also end up with days that I am really low but I still have days that I go over on. The one thing I have learned is that even though you feel full that isn't always the same at feeling satiated(sp?). I have a couple of questions like: 1) How is your energy 2)…
  • That's the problem it isn't just one cake I am making one tomorrow for his older brother's birthday. Again why should I make him a cake at 9pm. I haven't bugdeted for it. He can eat the other treats in the house that I bought for him. Rocky road ice cream, twix candy bars, pop tarts, doritos, fudge bars and various types…
  • Not to tick anybody off here but the comment you wanna die was in a joking tone. He doesn't even raise his voice with any of the 5 kids in the house. It was just nice and very surprising to hear him back me up. It was the first time ever! Not make him a cake just because he asked for it. Especially considering his older…
  • He is 20 years old and could make it himself the issue is if it's in the house I will eat it all. Not that we don't have treats here it's that I don't need to try to fit an extra 600 calories a day in. I didn't mention that he asks me to make cupcakes candy and cookies at least 5 times a day. I have made the cake for him…
  • Yes Miracle noodles are great but if you aren't getting your calories in it will happen. The noodles have nothing in them nutrienally speaking, no calorie, carbs, or protein and deffinetly no vitamins, hence they do nothing for your body other then bulking up in your stomach. They are a tool for when you want pasta and…
  • I wish I could say that you were the only one... But your not! Like this morning I got on the scale and it said 172 last night (and yes I weigh myself consantly!) it said I weighed in at 178. Just pick a day and just record that weight. Otherwise you will kill yourself trying to figure out what you did wrong, when in…
  • There is no use in beating yourself up. I gained that much to over a year and now I have that + to lose. All you can do is pull up your big girl panties and start over. Remember you just lost 9 lbs! That is awesome!!!!! Pick up and move on. Learn from what you did wrong.
  • I did great on 1200 calories until I couldn't get over the cravings for any food. Unfortunately I didn't pick good food when I broke and ended up toe up in a chocolate cake....
  • Looks like your are very active and you need to up your calories Google TDEE calculators and run your numbers and see where you actually need to be for your calories.
  • I never lost weight while breastfeeding. I mean I lost in the first month or 2 but nothing after that until I weaned my babies. After talking to a bunch of moms I found out that it's pretty common. The really weird part for me was how fast I dropped that weight when I weaned. I dropped 38lbs in 3 months! I wasn't eating…
