You seem very active, and should use that as your activity level for mfp. Alternatively, you should calculate your TDEE so you won't have to log your exercise. http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

I typically log it generically under strength training in cardio. It's worked well thus far

Hey! I'm 5'1" 109lbs. Stay at home mom of an active 3 year old girl. I workout from home everyday & eat at least 1680 if I don't workout. I'm at maintenance. Feel free to add me!

I never wanted kids, but got pregnant at 22 (too young), but of course I adore my daughter & husband. Kids change your life. I'm a better person because of my daughter & have never been happier. You're still young, enjoy being newly weds & re evaluate in 5, 7, 10 years. You don't need to make a decision for a long time. I…

I typically will accept the FR, but if I don't hear from someone in a week I will delete them anyways.
-
I think it's fairly accurate. It has mine at 1680 I'm 5'1" & only workout a few times a week. I will eat over on the few days that I workout.

I eat whatever I want & have maintained. I eat chocolate everyday. I never want to feel deprived. I do strive to hit my macros as well as eat enough fruits & veggies everyday.

I have experienced loose skin in many areas & strength training has helped my arms a lot, legs some, & stomach & breasts none at all. I recommend hitting the weights hard & after a year or two your skin should start shrinking. If not, there are basically two options, either accept it or seek a surgeon. Good luck!

Yes, I get that all the time from family members. A family member recently posted a joke about a skinny hairless cat needing to eat a cheeseburger on my FB wall & said "hey this is you!" Yeah.... Not funny at all. I'm a comfortable size 5 & plan on staying that way. :)

I'm 5'1" & went from 1200 to now 1550+ per day & I'm still losing a bit. I ate over 1900 today because I worked out (which I rarely do). Just increase your calories 50-100 calories a week til you reach a point where you're not losing anymore. Going into maintenance was not nearly as scary as I thought it would be! Just go…

There are lots of yummy foods to eat. Avocados, nuts, chicken salad, shrimp salad, low fat cheeses, fresh fruit salad, dark chocolate. Be creative :)

I bought jeans. Oh and got a haircut. Nothing too crazy

I get my eyebrows threaded & do not like the pain, but it's better than doing them myself.

My daughter is almost 3 so it took my about 3 years. My pre marriage weight is 105 & per pregnancy weight is 150. I hit 150 when she was 2 1/2 & will never hit 105 again. I think I look better at 114lbs. Here's a good link http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants

Nice to meet you! I'm 5'1" and weigh 114lbs. I'm a 25 year old working mom. I put on a ton of weight in college & my smallest weight was 105 in college. I'm in maintenance, but would love to lose more inches! Feel free to send me a friend request :)

I got stitches in my hand so didn't workout last week! Did well otherwise :)

I measure the narrowest part of my waist. 5'1" 114lbs 27inch waist Size 5/6 US mostly. Some size 7 pants.

I'm 5'1" , 25 year old mom, 114lbs. I'm currently at maintenance & eat around 1500-1600 calories sedentary (got stitches in hand a few days ago so not really working out).
-
Yes! I purposefully eat over maintenance a few times a month to make up any deficits I usually have during the week. No weight gain yet :)
-
I'm at maintenance & log everything. I'm a creature of habit & typically eat the same foods anyways so it's pretty easy. I don't measure my food or wear a HRM, so my logging is only ballpark estimates at best anyways :)
-
I've been feeling the same way since moving to maintenance. Just increase your workout & you can eat more food until the cravings start subsiding.
-
I'm a huge Fitnessblender fan too! I workout 30mins/day 7 days a week. Try level 3 & under body weight exercises. Modify the push-ups, etc til you have enough strength to do more. I'm 5'1", eat 1550 or more on maintenance & sit on my butt most of the day besides the 30mins that I workout. Increasing strength training to…

I try to hover plus or minus 5 pounds. My goal is 115lbs. I'm currently 114lbs but if I was 116lbs next week, I wouldn't worry about it. Try to weigh yourself in the morning naked before you eat after you use the bathroom once a week. Hope that helps.
-
Thank you! Glad to hear you're getting great support!

Its a viscious cycle. I gained 50lbs my freshman year in 2008 & have hung on to it since 2013 (still 10lbs heavier!) Surround yourself with healthier options... Fruits, veggies, 100 calorie snack packs, diet soda, water, Greek yogurt, 2% cheese sticks, nuts. You're college probably has a free gym. Use it! Use it…

Hey! I'm a 25 year old mom. I log daily & support my friends. I'm fairly close to maintenance. Feel free to add me :)

I'm a shorty as well! 5'1" & weigh 116lbs. Looking to lose a bit more & tone up. We're planning on having our second baby this year so I'm happy where I'm at til the next baby is born. Just trying to be as healthy as I can be!
