If you're losing weight with your current strategy, there's no need to up your calorie intake. However, if the scale won't budge and you're doing everything right, it might be time to up your calories a bit. This usually happens when someone is training really hard several days a week and the 1200 to 1300 calories is just…

You could try drinking your workout calories back with chocolate milk or a protein shake after a workout. Or eat small portions of high calorie foods. I like to eat nuts when I need a calorie boost, but don't want to eat a lot.

Wowww!!! I want to give the 30 Day Shred a try! Your photos make me hopeful because I have a similar body type. WAY TO GO!

Great job! Keep it up! :-) Put [ img ] before the image url and [ /img ] after the url. (remove spaces)

I'm 5'4" and currently weigh 173lbs. My goal weight is 135lbs.

The late Jurrasic period. I want to see a living, breathing Stegosaurus!

I like to swim for distance rather than speed. I breathe every four strokes when doing freestyle. I count each stroke in my head. 1... 2... 3... 4... Repeat. It works well for me to keep my pace steady. Good luck in the triathlon! :-)

Yes, make more comics! Comics forever! :-D I'm a cartoonist. You can read my short stories here: http://www.friedwontons.com I'm also working on my very first graphic novel. It's a prehistoric fiction about a teenage boy named Hodei. He has a great talent for art which begins as his secret and then later becomes his…

SHOTGUN!

Merlin!!!!!!!!!! It's a BBC series that takes place in an alternate universe Camelot. Merlin and Arthur are the same age and Uther is still alive. Uther HATES MAGIC!!! So Merlin has to keep his magic a secret. It's full of wacky shenanigans and twists on the Arthurian legend. I love it!

Amazing! I love how your posture gets more confident in each picture. :-D

I'll be exhibiting at the MoCCA Festival in April. Check it! http://www.moccany.org

Hooray! My name is Megan and my super power is MAKING COMICS! :-D Yeah!

I order what I want (within reason) and ask the server to bring me a take-out box when they bring my meal. I put half of my meal in the box before I even begin eating. That way, I won't over eat then I have a nice lunch packed for the next day! Yay! A tip for salad, ask the server to bring you your dressing on the side…

Rainbow Dash is my fave, too. :-D Haha, this is true!

My nerdy list of things I love (in no particular order): - Comics (read, write, draw!) - Star Trek - Merlin (the BBC series) - Zelda - Zombie Movies - Miyazaki Films - Pokemon - Harry Potter - Playmobile - Ball-jointed Dolls - My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (yes, I shamelessly admit it) Too much? Or not enough? :-P…

5' 4" 175lbs Women's 14 My goal is to get down to a size 8 or 6. :-)

I LOVE paneer cheese! I'll have to try this, too! Thanks for sharing!

I agree, too! People keep asking me how my diet is going. I politely remind them that I'm not dieting, I'm making a lifestyle change. They seem really surprised when I tell them all I'm doing is eating a bit less and exercising more. "That's it?!" Yes, that's it. I don't eat diet foods or take any weird supplements. I lost…

I rode my bike for the first time this season yesterday! It was still a bit chilly, but it was soooo much fun! Yay bikes!

She should be ashamed of herself! :explode:

I was teased relentlessly about my weight from first grade all the way through early high school. Hard to forget that. But I'm trying. :-)

I don't log gum. Or when I have a nibble or a sip of something for taste testing purposes. Or my fiber pills (that I take occasionally). Everything else goes in the log!

LOVE this thread! Strawberries are the only fruit with its seeds on the outside.

I take a different approach to my "free day." I don't count my calories on Sundays. However, I DO NOT use it as an excuse to binge on what ever I want! I still eat sensibly, but I like having a little break from the numbers each week. My weekly weigh in is on Mondays so this helps keep me from losing control. :-)

I exercise in the late afternoon after I get out of work. (There's NO WAY I'm getting up at the crack of dawn to exercise before work. NO WAY!!) Sometimes I work out late mornings on the weekends. I figure anytime is a good time if you're exercising!

I'll keep up with my exercise and eat a little bit more. :-9 I also plan on replacing my entire wardrobe from the skin out.

Oh no! Lately I feel like I've been losing my mind!

Might work for you, but would never work for me! No matter how much weight I lose or how good people tell me I look, I still see the overweight woman in the mirror. :-\ It's my own personal demon that I have to overcome and the numbers help with that. Seeing numbers go down, be it on the scale, the tape measure, or the…
