First of all, she's 11 and a size nine shoe. I am a size 10 and am 5'10". I would say that she will be growing some more and that her weight and height will even out as she gets older. Secondly, don't trust her school's fitness test. At her age I don't think it matters as much if you are a little chunky. A lot chunky is a…

Yes, go with protein shakes for sure. They help build your muscles. Also, go to a nutritional store and just ask someone there what they would recommend. And usually you can find a lot of the same stuff as the nutritional stores for cheaper at Walmart or Target.

I don't know how far you have come in getting your tummy defined, but women who have had kids are usually not the same in that area afterwards. Your muscles there get torn in that area from your stomach getting big for the baby. Most women post kids have just a little from that no matter how much they work on it. Just do…

HAHAHAHA! That is great!

This was my first though as well. I would not like it if my fiance all of a sudden made a change and I wouldn't get to see him as much. Oh, wait, he did! Even though it's not the same situation, when my fiance changed his work schedule in hopes of a promotion, I was so mad at the lack of us time. I did not talk to him…

Wow! The first thing I noticed was your arms (I'm a sucker for nice arms). The rest looks really good too! Keep up the great work!

I can see his concern since it is probably a drastic change in how many calories you are eating now compared to before. I would find a couple of articles explaining that below 1200 is starving yourself so he understands you are aware of what is good and what is bad. And then let him know why you are doing this. If you tell…

I agree. I would try not to let it bother you, which will be hard, and continue what you are doing. You are trying to better your life and if she doesn't like it don't tell her about it. She doesn't need to be included in everything you do. Once she sees how hot you get, maybe she will decide to change her habits as well…

I like people names for animals too. My old cat was named Charles and my new cat is Hemingway. Maybe you could do a name from your favorite movie? I got my cat from the Humane Society and before I picked him out I was going to go with Rhett from Gone With the Wind, but his name was too good to change. You could go with…

I am having left over Tofu Curry that is so frickin yummy and filling! I am excited for it. I have an apple as my something sweet for after too :)

That's awesome you guys are doing this together! It makes the journey a lot easier when someone else is there to help and support you along the way. You two look great! Keep up the good work!

I have heard fiber will make it float also. But, I know fat makes it float as well. I think too that everyone might be a little different and certain medical issues can affect whether it floats or sinks.
-
That's great! I don't know if I could handle having that condition so props to you for overcoming it (I'm pretty sure it is your new lifestyle that changed it). I hope you stay regular and it keeps floating!

Yes it can hinder your weight loss. 65oz is just above the minimum recommended amount. So, if it seems like it's hard to lose weight try adding more water. I lost the most on the weeks where I was drinking 9-11 8oz cups a day. Everyone is different so just experiment. And here is a good water calculator that you could try…

I have to maintain my weight until October so I am in the same boat. I changed my goals to maintain my weight just this weekend and it was a shocker to see how many calories I get now. I went from 1350/day to 1900! Holy moly! I haven't been able to get over about 1600 a day yet and even then I feel way too full. So I would…

Forgot to mention, count it as housecleaning. I think that would be the easiest.

I would suggest getting a HRM. That is what I use when anytime I do any type of exercise/physical activity that I am counting towards exercise calories. Since I got my HRM I have noticed that MFP is way off from what I burn for some things and others are dead on. They are pretty inexpensive depending on what brand and type…

I would be worried about this also. Going over calories one day because of throwing up after a pill is not as bad as side effects of missing a pill depending on the pill. I would first read the information that came with the pills and see what it says if you miss a pill. There is a chance it never had time to get into your…

I agree partially with the first post and more with the second. DO be straight forward and honest with her. Explain it is your time to relax from the day and be by yourself. Everyone needs alone time and it doesn't mean you don't love her. DO NOT think you are waisting your time with her if she gets upset. Like the second…

I wouldn't ever log negative calorie foods as negative calories since there is no proven study that they are truly a certain amount of negative calories for every person. I would just use those foods as your snacks instead of higher calorie foods. They say ice water is negative calories since your body has to warm it up to…

My calves have done the same. You can see the muscle more now and it looks like it would be bigger, but in reality they are smaller just more defined.
-
Do you have a food scale? I have one and love it. I used to use it all the time and now I can eye most of the foods I eat on a regular basis. They are fairly cheap for a 1lb scale, I got mine at Target for about $10.

This is a really good tofu stuffed shells recipe....http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1735,159175-249197,00.html

I have a recipe I made from several I found online that is similar to this one. I don't use cornstarch and I use 1/2 cup water and 1lb ground beef. I use 1/2 tsp sea salt instead of 1 tsp regular salt. It is very good and I usually add a bit more chili powder and cayenne pepper for a more spicy version. It is really good…

I have always had that problem. No matter how much I work on my thighs and butt they are always bigger. I say if you are natural bottom heavy, you should take pride in your big booty. Even though I didn't always like my big booty, I got compliments on it from just about every guy I dated. Just try to tone them up and they…

The past research said no to a lot of eggs because of cholesterol. But, now they are saying that the good cholesterol outways the bad in egg yolks. I have been told no more than 2/day and I usually eat 2/day Mon-Fri and sometimes only one or none on the weekends.

Maintain my current measurements for my wedding dress (stomach to bust) Add more strenght training into my routine Tone my butt and legs (I want my butt to look like it did in high school) Work more on toning and tightening my arms and thighs And as always, work my way up to running

Eating back your exercise calories is your choice. Some people say it works for them others say they never eat them and they always lose. I would say that if you feel you cannot eat the 2000+ each day, go with at least 1550 and if you feel hungry eat more. If you see no results, then switch it up and eat more of your…
