This is simulair to me ^^^^^. :) I have been maintaining a bit longer- since May. But have also lost a few more pounds while figuring it out. I also use fitbit to gage my calorie burn. I am 53, 127lbs. Med. body frame, 22bmi and stick to 1650 calories a day. I do not eat back my exercise calories. I eat three meals, three…

I'm 53, 5.4. Medium frame, and at 130. My goal was 135. but think I am most comfortable between 130-133. I am pretty steady even though Ive been at goal for a month or so and keep coming in under calorie goal daily.. I go between 129-131 - Still am figuring out numbers also and struggling to eat 1500 cal. (small eater)…

Genetics ugh. I also have flat *kitten*....my dad does as well as one of my sons. Nothing has changed it. For those with one u have no idea how hard it is to keep pants up without one! belts help minimal. And drawstrings arent flaterring.

I use the fitbit to gage my steps and encourage me. I got tired of logging food and exercise in mfp, so i let fitbit give me a general number of exercise calories burned. So far Im still loosing a bit. But since Im having trouble eating more calories.( Ive been increasing by 50 a week to get up to where I should be at some…

Just posted this on my page! I ate a larger portion, 2 oz of whole grain spaghetti and 3/4 cup of sauce tonight for dinner, but ugh so full. It seems ave been trying to increase for three weeks or so by 25-50 calories a week. I was losing at 1250-1300. Now in maintance it says 1540 calories to maintain my wieght of 133,…

I get told the same thin- why are you loosing weight you looked good before.. well thank you- but I am continuing my journey! I am 52 and my dad actually said today I am getting too thin! I had gone shopping for some new smaller :smile: size pants and he said should make sure I keep my old pants! Ugh! I maintained a 30 lb…

Dee I have really been enjoying adding protein powder to my fruit and almond milk smoothies. I use them as a meal or snack replacement though as they are not low in calorie. Though I just bought some new ens whey lean protein. The chocolate fudge is yummy for only 100 calories and 15 g. Protein!

Don't always weigh in just on Wed... Scale junkie. But today it was down .6lb. :) Im now officially down to last two pounds to goal. Yeah!

i have a short pilates routine i do nightly that only takes 20 minutes, but really helps with flexibility and toning without lifting weights. I have a torn rotor cuff so the pilates is easier on it. I use the moves off of the dvd Leslie Sansone Pilates for Dummies. lol. If I skip a few nights I can really notice the…

I was concerned last year when I had my blood work done. My tris were up a bit. My dr. ask if I ate alot of fruit. When I said yes, she said not to worry about it. I want you to eat the fruit. So I go with that knowledge with the sugars from fruit. Not sure if that helps but what I learned from DR.

After constantly asking my hubby, the cook, how much he thought something weighed... lol. He went and bought me one. Its the biggest looser scale from Bed Bath and Beyond. It was only 20. and has been a huge help for my weightloss journey.

My mom and I were having this conversation today... after I went shopping for new jeans. I didnt find what I wanted, but i did try on 6s and even one pair of 4s! OMG I never thought id see that number.(I have a flat butt, so need flap pockets and mid-rise.) When I got married, 33 years ago, I weighed roughly 132 and looked…

A trainer told me to lose weight I should not eat back the calories.So I have been eating only my alloted calories. BUT my loss has been extremely slow. Which my be my age, 52. :( So your saying I should eat back my calories? A but scary to do this while trying to lose weight. I am 5.4 and 140. I want to lose another 2-5…

Hi My name is Brenda and I am on the home stretch. Ive lost 17 lb since the end of Sept. Now my Mini goal, 3 lbs by Feb. 1 and possibly another three by the end of March. I lose weight really slow, so not sure how I will do with the weigh in Wed challenge. Since I loos so slowly I get frustrated so support is appreciated.…

thanks! I just kind of figured that out tonight. But good to know i was on the right track. Not sure i like how it logs it in MFP though. it says I burned 800 extra calories today! Maybe I did as I was busy but seems high. Also note to anyone with a Motorola they are doing updates- no date- just soon supposedly- to 4.4 for…

We had our family Christmas last night, so today was a day to try out the toys. New running shoes and fitbit force. So yes, 2 mile walk and some pilates tonight yet.

My force did too, 647 cal burned. WonderIng how it will even out tomorrow?

Do you have an android? how is the flex syncing? Calorie burn on mine seems high too. Thanks.

Been contemplating this thought also. Im 5.4. @ 142. now. Finally at normal bmi. I tend to keep moving down my goal weight. It was140....but decided today to shoot for 135. I think my idea is more to allow for a 5 lb cushion that I normally flex once I start to maintain. Is that anyone eles thought?

My go to chocolate South Beach Dark Chocolate ON THE GO bars. 130 calories. Hersheys Sugar-Free syrup. 11 calories for one tsp in one cup skim milk. 96 calories total.

Im 5.4. and weigh 143. I eat 1300 calories a day and loose about a pound every couple of weeks...key for me... I eat at least five times a day! it keeps my metabolizim humming. Plus make sure your eating the right nutrients via the MFP nutrition tracter part. It will let you know if you are meeting or short on protein and…

Luckly both large holiday meals are at our house this year. so it will be much easier to plan what I have for other meals and adjust according. I do know if I eat very much off my normal plan its like I turn on the cravings again. Not wanting to do that. Felt it a bit when a friend brought me a small treat today. Craving…

I also cop out and use the packets. I found quaker lower sugar variety is only 110 -120 cal per packet. Love it. And less work so I actually,make it.

Im 52, 5'4" and my current goal in 145. Lowest ive weighed is 130 back in high school. Most ive weighed is 180. 10 years ago I lost 30 lbs by cutting sodium and walking, just in the past year it creeped up to 158. now im down 11 lbs thanks to mfp! I may try for 140 if I can make through the holidays. Lol.

Hi all! Been doing the MFP for a month and half, but had previously lost 30 pounds about ten years ago, just cutting sodium. Its amazing the amount of salt in packaged foods! I have found foods that are low and stick to those. Kashi Heart to Heart oat , Aunt Millies brand whole grain breads, Fit and Active brands from…
