  • Awesome job! Hard work and pure dedication. I am also 5'1"....how many calories do you eat now?
  • Thanks for the responses everyone. Such a helpful and informative group!
  • My body weight x12 would give me a limit of 1500 calories which is what the TDEE calculator had me at with being moderately active 3-5 days a week. My concern is that with the weight training it doesn't burn as many calories so I should increase cardio although everything I've read says to focus more on weights and not so…
  • Thank you for the responses! I wear a Fitbit and am on my feet all day as an elementary teacher....never sit down except a quick lunch. I usually hit 10,000+per day between work and exercise. The weekends are a different story! Should I set myself as sedentary on MFP and enable negative calorie adjustment? (Not sure how to…
  • I'll join for support! I am a teacher and just came off 9 weeks of summer vacation where every night was like a weekend night! I enjoy having a glass or two of wine every night and I know that is why I gained some lbs this summer. I am short 5'1" so every pound shows up! As a substitute I have been drinking bai (coconut)…
  • I am 5'1" and 125 lbs. I just started tracking religiously last week and used the scoobys workshop calculator to determine my TDEE. I am a teacher and am constantly on my feet all day long so consider myself active. I also lift weights and do cardio. I am eating 1500 calories a day and hope to see a loss next week. I used…
  • My hands down favorite green "monster"...... Unsweetened vanilla almond milk, one tablespoon almond butter, half banana, scoop of Designer Whey vanilla almond protein powder and a handful of baby spinach.
  • You look amazing!!!! Very inspiring and motivating!
  • I am currently healing from a very bad flare up of eczema on my right index finger . My skin was so dry it was peeling and got cracked and started to bleed in a few areas. At the height of it I couldn't even bend it the skin was so tight and swollen. I am moisturizing with Eucerin calming cream and wear a cotton glove at…
  • 5:30 AM. It took about a week to get used to getting up at 5:00 and having coffee to wake up before working out. So glad to get it over with before my day starts!
  • I am 5'1" and small frame as well. Started tracking MFP at the beginning of March at 125 and am 118.5 right now eating between 1300-1500 calories but indulging in a treat meal/wine once a week usually on a weekend. I work out 5 times a week and try not to eat exercise calories back since I have a high calorie meal during…
  • I am similar to you...5'1" and weighed in this morning at 119.5 (the half pound makes a difference to me! Lol) except I am 44 not in my 20s! My goal is 114 but may lower it to 110....and I know I need to count every calorie that goes in my mouth since I have just a few lbs. to lose now. I weighed 124-125 for five straight…
