Hey Im 5'3 I started at 170.2 and dropped to 117. I am a runner and I maintained between 117-119 for months. I dont know how I did it bc I didnt log anything I ate. But now my weight is fluctuating between 121-125. I uped my workouts the past 2 weeks trying to get it back down. I feel good while I am working out but I feel…

For me, my first shock and horror moment was the first day i logged my food and saw I was out of calories by 11am! I was so shocked but it was a good shock. MFP has completely changed my life. Good luck in your journey!!!!!

Also found a new one Nike traininng club. Great workout and very challenging

There is a starvation mode, not everyone goes into it. Its not a myth. But I guess everyone can agree to disagree.
-
Ummm.... Yes you do want to eat your workout calories. If you dont eat enough then your body CAN go into starvation mode and hold on to your weight. The more calories you burn the more fuel your body needs. So yes eat your cardio calories!
-
Heres the thing. You should always learn how to curve your own appetite. Its great that it worked out good for you, however as you can see from alot of the previous posts it doesn NOT always work that way. I learned after years of dropping weight and putting it back on it was bc I always went with ways that were not…

Get off the pills, there is no quick fix to controlling appetites, its just making the decision to not eat everytime you want something. You will gain your weight back after you get off them and you will not have learned how to do it on your own which means you will never have long lasting weight loss! Dont look for a kick…

Log your workout calories and eat them. Sometimes your body can go into starvation mode if you dont

Good selfie

Thank everyone for your input. I have lost all my weight by mostly cardio and it just worries me to cut it down. I think Im stuck in a wrong mind set that you need a crap ton of cardio to see results. Well Ill try a new way and hope it works. Thanks :)
-
Eh nah....sounds ok, but I just still eat real fries lol
-
What your wanting is exercise that will keep you motivated, that you wont get bored doing, that is fast to see results, and that is fun and not a workout? Ummmm..... good luck finding it. Ice hockey is fun, expensive, and your burn alot of calories, however even with fun sports it is work and you will become unmotivated.…

Your not always going to like the workout you are doing, your not always going to want to do them. I used to hate running!!! Now I have been running for 3 years. Yes in general I love running now, however I have my days/weeks/ even a month or so that I cant stand running but guess what? I suck it up and just do it. Your…

Then something must be wrong about the calorie intake allowance. 1400 seems a bit high bc I started MFP at 170 pounds and it only gave me 1200 calories then and has always been 1200 calories. It has worked for years at that calories intake and I have maintained and kept it off.
-
I am 5'3 and 121 pounds, my calories are 1200 a day and I eat back my cardio calories. Have done this since 2010 and it works. 1400 might be alittle too high but everybody is different and our bodies work in different ways. Try what it says for a while and eat back cardio calories. If it needs adjusting reassess in a few…

Pump Up, Ab workout, and Restaurants app for calorie look ups. All free apps :)

Ummm the deal is its a food chain salad. They dont care how many calories are in it, bc its called a salad people get it thinking its healthy, but it doesnt matter to them what is actually in it. If you wanna know exactly what your eating you have to make it yourself.
-
What is sounds like is not that your over eating but you are under eating. If thats all you ate then your body is probably holding on to every ounce of food you have consumed bc its going into starvation mode. Eat your calories and even go over if you need to during those couple days.
-
Ummm only worry abgout your calories. Over on protein is not a big deal. Your muscles need it anyways for recovery. Just focus on calories, Its how I lost all my weight and went over on everything else more often than not. Good luck!
-
Perhaps your not eating enough calories. Oats, soup, and salad dont seem to be enough food to hit your calorie goals but I guess it could be possible with unhealthy salads. However your motivation could be the fact that you are eating boring stuff. Eat whatever you want, try to keep it healthier, and keep it within your…
-
Im not sure what all could be the problem however, if you dont eat back you workout calories then it can slow your metabolism. You body needs it. Also 2026 seems alittle high. I didnt think a woman should ever be over 2000 calories a day and that is still alot. Maybe check with your doctor.
-
Well thats your problem, you are dieting instead of life style changing. I lost all my weight still enjoying french fries, beer, and yes even some pizza. So stop dieting and learn to eat the things you love within your new lifestyle. Key i not to eat it all at once all the time. I have not eaten 1 salad as a meal to lose…
-
Yes absolutley you can lose weight drinking beer. I lost weight drinking beer, eating french fries, and mostly anything I wanted. I just learned how to have those things the right way. You dont have it all in the same day. If I was drinking that night I had the most amount of food for the least amount of calories as…

Thank you everyone for your input. I have started logging again for the past 3 days and have realized that my eating propotions have gotten alittle high and since I havent had alot of time the last month to get the normal amount of cardio in I see where my problem is. The higher propotions were fine bc I was running alot…

If this is something you are worried about perhaps there is a underlyning issues you should discuss with a Dr. before starting a diet plan. It is just a guide to help. 55lbs lost and I do not have a eating disorder.
-
Well to start...Losing it fast means you will not learn how to lose it for good. Lose it fast? Gain it back faster. I have lost 53lbs. I did it in 2.5 years NOT 6 months..... I have done it eating all my favorite things and NOT living off carrotts and lettus. More important than exercise is the choices you make on your…

Make sure you eat your workout calories....your body needs it and you will lose more weight and faster. Do NOT eat less and workout more. It will shut your metabolism down. Eat your workout calories and snack throughout the day to keep your metabolism high. Not big snacks but just enough like yogurt or granola bars or…
-
if your working out 5-6 days a week and your only eating 1200 calories then that is prob the problem. 1200 calories is for days you dont workout. Days that you do you HAVE to eat those calories otherwise your metabolism will shut down and in turn you will not lose weight.
