I have been asked about this before actually since I am a feminist. There was definitely a time where my goals were more driven by society's standards but I feel like my goals have matured with me. I am trying to lose weight because I just don't feel healthy at this weight and I feel sluggish and tired all of the time.…

I ate 5 cinnamon buns today on a slight binge. I did log it though.

Anyone can feel free to add me. I'm also 5'1 and I have about 30-40 pounds to go.

You look amazing! Great job :)

I just saw a documentary stating the opposite. That people are exercising but it won't do any good and that somehow counting calories is impossible. I stopped watching about 20 minutes in because it was very uninformed.

You look amazing! Great job :)

I always want to eat more about a week before my period. I also get very specific cravings (I know whether I want sweet or salty). I don't really resist the cravings, I just eat the cravings in moderation but that's also how I "diet" in general. I don't really have off limit foods, I just eat the foods I want but in…

I was actually just struggling with this today. I had a few bad days in a row and I hate logging them because I feel like people are going to judge me for some reason (even though I know my MFP pals wouldn't do that). Feel free to add me if you would like and I will also work on logging everything including my bad days.

Someone may have said this but if you only have 6 more pounds to lose, then the weight is going to come off slower probably and gaining a pound is pretty normal. You should see my weight loss graph, it is far from linear. Don't freak yourself out, it happens to everyone :) Good luck!

My mom has done weight watchers and it has been very beneficial for her. She does it in person (you can do in person or online) and I think actually going to weigh in in-person has helped her with accountability. She lost about 40 pounds using WW. She found it easier than counting calories. Hope this helps :) Btw, feel…

Hi! I am 5'1" and I did lose about 20 pounds before but I gained a little back so now I'm trying to work it off again. I'm always looking for fitness friends :)

The 2000 calorie post that was on here a few days ago. Apparently 2000 calories is good for everyone regardless of sex or height. And you will starve if you eat below that.

I didn't read all of the comments here because there's a lot but this is a bit ridiculous. 2000 is a very generic number and that doesn't work for everyone. I am only 5'1" so 2000 calories a day will, in fact, make me lose weight. The reason I started gaining weight at all is because I ate too many calories, that's just…

I didn't read through everything so sorry if this is a repeat. When I need to fill a lot of calories but still need nutrition, I just eat a spoonful of peanut butter(measured out though). That is around 200 calories and has protein :)

The people who claim they can't eat anywhere near 1200 calories b/c they get too full. Do they not realize they were most likely eating way above that to gain weight in the first place?

Let's be honest. I will not log probably for most of the weekend. MFP will still be here on Monday when the holidays are over.

Hi Ashley, it sounds like you are starting your journey off right. One thing to keep in mind, do no listen to other people when they make comments. Before I started my weight loss, people were saying I gained a lot of weight and that I should be careful. After I started eating right and exercising, some people were saying…

Don't worry, we've all been there and most likely we will all have those moments again. You have to remember, where would you be if you had never started this journey? I myself would probably have kept gaining weight, slowly but surely. You lost 20 pounds! That is amazing and not an easy task at all. You have the self…

No thanks. I get a flu about every 8 years and I'm down for 2 days and then I'm right back up. No big issues with the flu for me.

A starbucks caramel frappuccino (light) :)

That is a crazy transformation! Great job! You look so much younger in the last photo.

This is kind of lame but I do enjoy crystal light. There is actually quite a bit of different flavors. And your still getting that water in which is good.

I've heard good things about square space (but I personally do not have my own website).

They're just jealous that you have the motivation to get out there and exercise and put hard work in and they don't.

Great job! You look awesome :)

Unfortunately, that's what got me into this mess of needing to use MFP at all. I thought I was eating healthy so I was okay, but when you are so much over that you gain weight, then it really is the calories. If it only mattered what was in those calories, then I probably wouldn't need to be on here at all :/

I have the android app and I don't see these. Maybe my app is not up to date? I can't even imagine what it would say for me...

You should open up your diary. This is the best way for anyone to help you.

I should add that the part where it says to put in your goal, you can put anything in there and it will still tell you your TDEE.

http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ This is a great calorie calculator. You want to find your TDEE and eat to that. That is your total daily energy expenditure. You can put it in how much exercise you do per week.
