I have 4 more lbs that I want to lose to be at my goal weight of 108lbs and I have to do it by mid May. This week was a diet disaster, because of a birthday and we just blew it off for the week. So today, we're back on hard core! I'm going to kick this 4lbs butt!!!

I think the magic 1200 is ridiculous, honestly. How can that be the minimum number for everyone? I eat between 1050 an d 1150, I change it from week to week and I'm not in a starvation mode. We are not all the same size and there shouldn't be some cookie cutter number. Eat what you can back, but don't force feed yourself.

Usually the half cup is the dry measurement and how do you measure spaghetti? I think pasta is more of a cup serving cooked. I have a digital scale which I use for pasta, but I'm pretty sure it's about cup cooked.

I don't log my coffee which is only like 4 calories for every 8oz. I also don't log the Truvia I put in it, but I do log the creamer. I log everything else (normally...I've been a slacker this week), including my vitamins, but they total up to 65 calories, so that would add up.

I suppose this is directed at me? Whatever, I don't care. Call me a prude if you like but it only makes you sound immature and lacking in the class department. My motivation will never be to obtain the "coveted" position of video ho so that I may bounce my *kitten* in front of a camera. I have confidence and don't need to…

Typical video with chicks dancing around like *kitten*....women wonder why some men have no respect...

Sounds freaky!!! lol Great healthy foods deserve a chance though....wanted to respond to be able to look back on it!

Wow! Great Job!! You're so beautiful!.............love your hair! I'm also a curly haired lady!!

I use oats in my tuna patties...also any time I want to bulk up a meatloaf (chicken or turkey) or my lentil loaf...meatballs....oats are great for that and you can't even tell that they're in there.

You can do it...and what a nice added motivational bonus!! =)

Make your food diary open and give a little more info. You probably just need to change things up a bit though.

Great job girl! You sure carry your weight well, I would not guess that you weigh over 180lbs.....you'll be at your goal in no time!!

I also always double check the info and if it's not correct, I edit it.

Wow! Good for you! It's amazing when the clothes just hang off you! Keep going girl!!

Oh my! Please look into the Copper IUD.... minimal amounts of hormones, really the safest and longest bc out there. It definitely is scary...why don't the men do it??? lol

Wow...if you're over 30 then you're too old? Well, I am 32 and I intend on getting one soon. My body is tight and I have worked hard for it. I imagine the critic/poster above would be offended by my belly ring. You know what I have to say to that................................please!!!! Just because she believes her…

Unrelated to your question, I have heard terrible things about the patch. It can cause many health issues and have long term side effects. I had the NuvaRing for a while and MAJOR headaches (did a little research and women were having heart attacks and strokes), took the pill and missed 2 pills and tried to fit them back…

I don't know. I eat a banana every morning with breakfast. The amount seems almost ridiculous, but then some days I go over. I guess green veggies are the key. I take a women's daily multi-vitamin to help cover things that my regular diet doesn't. However, eat reasonably clean and cook almost many things from scratch which…

Well, I really think it all has to do with genetics. I am 4'11" and down to 112lbs.....but my thighs still are almost touching. The more I workout, the more round my upper thighs become. I don't mind...thick thighs are sexy!!. I don't think that I'll ever be a woman with the thighs that you could pass a folder…

I too get the late night cravings. I don't really have any junk food or processed foods to binge on at night...but I sure get the munchies. I drink hot tea and it helps me....just finished my second cup and the cravings are gone. Hope this helps.

Well, I have an app on my phone called Restaurant Nutrition that has several chain restaurants on it. If I go out, I try to go to restaurants that have provided the info. If not, I try to stick with basic salads or grilled chicken/vegetables.

I once saw an entire email about embarrassing texts due to phone auto correct....that's so funny! Apparently your phone wants you to have mentos too! lol

Sounds to me like he was hanging around to get your number, but maybe didn't work up the nerve to ask! Anyway, that's awesome!

Someone's thinking about cake!!! ;-P Yeah, it's easier to start concentrating at one thing at a time, because trying to regulate it all at once can be overwhelming!

Oh my! You want a 22/23 inch waist? My almost 3 year old daughter has a 21 inch waist and she's still wearing 24 month size clothing. You'd be able to buy skirts in the toddler section.

4'11" 112lbs Chest: 35 Waist: 27 Hips: 34.5

Yeah...ya know, i have wondered the same thing with being so tiny. I have lost weight eating 1050 and eating 1200, so I would just listen to your body if I were you. Mine's telling me it's HUNGRY....so I'm going to eat more.

At your weight, I would say that a pound per week is too aggressive. I am also 4'11" and have been eating 1150 daily plus most if not all of my exercise calories. I switched it to 1200 for the next week though, because I'm hungry :) I'm 112lbs and this site says my bmr is 1137 while other sites say 1264...so who knows.…

MFP set mine to 24g and I changed it to 30g, but I still go over almost every day. I don't even worry about it anymore.

Bump...have to read this tomorrow about my beloved coffee.
