  • I am 5'9" and I am 136-140. I started out at 167 and was pushing out of size 12. Right now i'm hovering in 6/8's depending on what it is. At my smallest weight - getting married I was 125, but now as a grown up I don't think i will or want to get down to that. I was wanting to hit 135 or the lower 130's but I've been…

  • chips --- bbq potato chips or any kind of chips and salsa. I was eating at Chuy's restaurant with my family the other night and was eating chips and salsa like my life depended on it... :D

  • Just don't close out your day and you don't have to see it! :) MFP will close it for you at midnight
    in Unmet goals Comment by sabianhunter April 2014
  • When i did weight watchers I ate so many low-fat carby kind of things cause the food that higher in fat and full of protein gives you a bigger hit on points. Now on MFP (I do TDEE method) I try to stay lower on carbs and higher on protein and I don't feel hungry much ever. I think that is a problem with WW is that you can…

  • Well, I am just a couple of inches taller at 5'9" - but started at 167 on October 5, 2013. On Feb 8, I reached my first goal of 15 lbs lost, just a couple of days off of 4 months. TOTALLY DOABLE!!! I didn't even start a diet for the first 3 weeks, just the working out... You've got this!! :)

  • I didn't see any measurable change on my scale for about a month.... I DID see changes to my body that I liked and kept me going. My once not-waist started seeing just a slight indent around the middle so I knew that things were moving in the right direction, but I had to keep on going trusting that my effort would…
    in Still not losing weight :( comments welcome Comment by sabianhunter February 2014
  • I love the TDEE method... I am 5'9" SW: 167 CW: 152 I usually shoot for a 1600 calorie average and have at least one or two days a week that I go over by 2-300... I started tracking in October, so I don't think 15 lbs in 4 months is too slow. I also get 3 vigorous workouts in a week and if I don't get my calories in on…
    in Afraid to Up my calories.. Comment by sabianhunter February 2014
  • I guess it depends on the people and your history --- When I visited my inlaws at Christmas I figured that someone would notice or mention my weight loss... not a word. They are all much bigger than me and while I get that congratulating the 'skinny girl' on losing ten lbs isn't high on their list of priorities, it's…
    in Commenting on a persons weight loss. Comment by sabianhunter January 2014
  • Who wants to eat their TDEE for a month and see how it goes?? The point of this site is to lose weight and every TDEE calculator I've ever seen tells you to start with a 15% deficit.... besides the fact that you typo'd OP into a 100+ calorie surplus
    in Where am I going wrong? Comment by sabianhunter January 2014
  • Tdee method you have the same calorie goal daily whether it's a workout day or not.....
    in Need advice on calories Comment by sabianhunter January 2014
  • I use both a fitbit and a HRM. The fitbit I wear all day long. I like it cause it tells me how active I've been that day and whether I need to get off my bum a bit more (desk job!!). I wear a HRM to my workouts, I do strength-training, circuit training type workouts and the fitbit isn't gonna do much good if i'm doing…

  • I've lost 11# since I started on Oct 5. And about 4 of those I can blame on having the flu in November... :) My first month I didn't lose much of ANYTHING, maybe a pound. :) chin up, you are doing great! If you are strict with counting your calories-weighing-measuring, so that you do feel like you are being accurate, then…
    in Where am i going wrong?! Comment by sabianhunter January 2014
  • I started back in the beginning of October. I am 5'9" and was 167 lbs. So not incredibly off from you. So far I've lost 11 lbs. I try to follow the TDEE method of calorie counting, just cause MFP gets confusing with the eating back/not eating back, etc - i think the website that you were given above tells you how to find…

  • I got the Fitbit One for Christmas. I love it. I use it in conjunction with a heartrate monitor cause it's not an effective calculator for my strength training workouts, but I love seeing how active I am for the day and have even walked around my house or stepped in place to meet my goals when I was close... it's that…
    in Fitbit Comment by sabianhunter January 2014
  • Having protein after a workout is what my personal trainer told me is a deterrent to soreness. 20-25% of your body weight in grams of protein for a recovery snack helps give the muscles the nutrients that it needs to repair. We do new exercises almost every time we meet working out new muscle groups and I am almost never…
