This happens to everyone at some point or another. It happened to me in late Jan and early Feb where I only lost maybe 1 lb over two weeks and then finally I began picking up weight loss again. It doesn't mean you are not going to lose anymore, but sometimes bodies do this. I would keep on trudging along; maybe do…

375 calories does seem like a lot ( 1 hour seems more accurate ) but I log "walking" when I go on the treadmill. I usually burn more if I make it on an uphill setting, than just flat walking on the treadmill. I bet you're still burning quite a bit doing aerobics. Sometimes I do low impact aerobics at home. I don't know how…

I think 5'2-5'4" are all similar in height. I don't see why you can't participate.

I am 5ft3.5. I am currently 117 lbs. Is down from 136-138 lbs from Christmas time. I maintained 120 lbs for 2 years and my weight shot up in Fall 2013 just from going out to eat too much and not exercising enough. My goal weight is 110 lbs. I do not wish to get any lower than that. Its okay if my weight fluctuates from 108…

Hmm. Obviously with your activity level I would eat more especially at your height and weight. I'm much shorter than you ( 3.5 inches! ) and I lose weight on more calories than you do. I also spend less time at the gym, although there are days when I hit two hours but those are only twice a week. Most days I spend 75-90…

Your medicine could be causing an increased appetite. Some medicines do. However if you aren't losing weight you might be eating at maintenance. If you eat what you're supposed to ( eat what you burn ), even if its fruits and veggies, you will not lose. You can gain weight on healthy foods if you eat more of it than you…

The mornings when you get up. It should be before eating and exercising. Also make sure you go to the bathroom too beforehand.

i agree

I don't like them, but if someone wants to eat them, I'm not going to beat them up over it. The only kind I really liked when I was younger was the cookie dough. I have lost weight eating poptarts, but I ate them every other day.

I would go the McNuggets route, but I'm a chicken person. I really like Wend'y spicy chicken nuggets so if you're in a situation like this again, head over there. Try it with the honey mustard sauce

Personally, I like Greek yogurt. I like all the brands. But if you do not like it, you don't like it and that's how it goes. Don't force yourself to eat something that makes you gag. Fish makes me gag, so I don't eat it.

I don't eat cereal all that much. Sometimes I get in a cereal kick and I eat it for a couple days, but the milk goes bad and I get sick of the cereal and it goes stale. In fact, I still have cereal I bought in Feb 2013. And I gave my other cereals I bought last summer to my sister. When I do eat cereal I like Honey Nut…

I am losing weight every week ( for the most part ) and I am definitely NOT low carb. I think a lot of diets with names and specific rules are over-rated. I think the only really good diet to follow for health reasons is the DASH diet ( which emphasizes fruits, veggies, lean meats, low sodium and high potassium ) combined…

Good luck! If you keep it up and don't look back, you will do great and be successful. It will be hard and some days are going to better than others. If you mess up for a day ( we all do ) you start again and get on the bandwagon. There is always a new day. But don't get into the mode of thinking "Well its Friday and I ate…

It could be anything. I would eat more calories than 1200. Slow and steady wins the race. 1700-1800 should be good enough for you. I agree with others to get a food scale, especially if you cook a lot and don't know the exact serving size of your meal. When you are in a rush and need a Lean Cuisine or something, then the…

I didn't know that there was a 3500 calorie burn group. This sounds silly, but I've been trying to make it a personal goal of mine to burn 3500 calories or more per week or very close to it. This week I'm up to 3200 so far and next work out day is on Sunday ( weather permitting; otherwise will exercise at home the best I…

Welcome! I will be your friend on here, if that is okay Good luck! : ) :)

Whatever the issue, you should see a doctor if it continues. I am not sure about iron; the only way to check if your iron is low ( either low/small red blood cells or not enough oxygen in your red blood cells ) is to have it checked at the doctor's. If you had anemia before, you could still have it. Best to have it checked…

At 5 foot 10, you are already at a thin weight at 132 lbs. I understand wanting to get down to 125 lbs and with your stomach, but going down to 1000 calories will not help you. More than likely, your body is retaining water for some reason or the other. For a couple weeks, I worked out a lot and only ate 1200-1400…

"You will look good at a size 0, because you're so short." "Wow! Girl, did you lose weight? You're stomach looked big and now its small."

You might want to try DVDs like someone else suggested. You do have a lot of time. Others work and have school, and they still make it to the gym. I work nearly full time and go to school full time and although its stressful, I still make time for the gym. Sometimes there are days when I can not go, like Saturdays because…

I agree! I like to go after dinner as well. Its less busy too.

Whenever that happens to me, its usually water weight in my stomach. And its during ovulation and menstruation. Are you about to have your period soon?

Is an artistic, serious type ( ?? ) Very pretty! Sensitive probably. ( I am sorry if I am very very wrong ) I bet I'm an easy guess lol

I have a sweet tooth myself. No, I have not tried that diet. I still give in to cravings, but I do so with portion control. I have little 90 calorie m&m cookies currently and low cal ice cream and frozen yogurt. I also bought cocoa coated almonds, which are really good. I also like the Special K brownie bites, although I…

Hi. This is not an easy answer, because it varies widely from person to person. I personally do not base my calories burned on MFP. I record them at the gym and keep them as a memo in my phone, and then manually add my calories in when I get online later on in the day. I find that some exercises are inflated and others are…

What happens is that your body will reduce its metabolism, but you won't stop losing weight. You will slow down eventually in your weight loss... maybe only losing 4 lbs a month instead of your 11 at the beginning. But when you want to eat normally again, your body will gain a lot of water weight from eating so little. It…

Yes, you can still lose weight eating 250 calories worth of chocolate everyday. Just as long as it is planned in your calorie goals and you are still at a deficit. Chocolate is good!

Obviously if you were weak and dizzy you needed to eat. Your body needed the extra calories today. Working at a restaurant and in some retail places can burn a lot of calories. I know tomorrow I will easily burn over 1000 calories doing my 8 hour shift at Costco. Costco on a Saturday is crazy ( Don't go if you can help it…

Your calories might be set too low. 1200 calories a day is certainly possible, but not healthy for everyone. It's really only for sedentary short women mainly. And I'm talking women who are like four foot eleven or five foot. Even if you are 5'3" or even 5'2" you can get by with a little more calories and still lose…
