  • I would say that I eat between 1200-1300 calories on a daily basis and have since lost 20 lbs, with still planning to lose about 5 more lbs. I do not feel miserable, in fact I feel very healthy and have maintained a good muscle ratio. Every individual is different. What works for others, many not work for you and that is…

  • I could have wrote this. I am experiencing the same thing. I started my current job 8 yrs ago. I was about 160 lbs then. About 1 yr later, I had finally lost the baby weight from my first pregnancy going down to 125 lbs. No one even noticed. Now fast forward to 2013 and two more pregnancies later, I was 202 lbs. I was…

  • Maintenance mode here. I eat 3 meals each day and 2 snacks. I also work out 2-3 times each week. I leave extra cals for at night when I get hungry, which is often. I'm a night owl.

    in Goal weight achieved...now what? Comment by lharri0209 February 2014
  • Thank you all for your feedback. It does help me a lot. I still do workout but, cut back because the scale was continuing to go down. I am down to only a couple of days a week. When I figure out my maintenance caloric need, I will increase it to 3 days a week. Again, thanks so much!
    in Goal weight achieved...now what? Comment by lharri0209 February 2014
  • Thanks for the feedback. I guess my other question is how do I up my calories? Do I jump straight to the 1580 or do it more gradually?

  • Hi there! I have found success during my weight loss journey by planning all of my meals ahead. If I plan to eat out one day, I factor those calories into my goal. I eat fried chicken, pork chops, carbs, mac n cheese, etc. All of those food items are measured and/accounted for through mfp. For the most part, I eat a…

  • At 5'2", my ugw is 125 lbs. Currently, I am just 2 lbs shy of that. :happy:
    in Target weight ( women ) Comment by lharri0209 February 2014
  • Yes, mfp does aid very well when it comes to weight loss...as long as you put the work in. I have lost 75 lbs so far and just 2 lbs shy of my goal weight.
    in Does MFP work? Comment by lharri0209 February 2014
  • I usually don't eat anything between breakfast and lunch. However, for just in case purposes I try to pack a yogurt or banana to hold me over if I do get hungry. Another good snack would be a protein bar or 1 cup of Special K with Red Berries. I guess it depends on your personal needs.
    in What do you eat between breakfast and lunch? Comment by lharri0209 February 2014
  • Me too. I am 5'2" tall. I used to be in a size 18-20 in pants. Now, I am an 8 which was/is my ideal pant size.

  • Happy Saturday everyone! Checking in again. This week has been very laid back. I have not exercised at all this week because I want to give my body a rest.

  • Regardless of what "thick" means to him, he should love you just how you are. That's how he met you. You shouldn't be with someone who feels the need to change you. He should be more concerned with working on his own issues.
