I was in that boat when I started, I am 5'6" and I'm down from 21 to 9lbs to go. Its taken me since Jan 13 so far. Slow and steady wins the race :D I'm hoping to hit my goal by summer. 9lbs in 2-3 months. I'm also worried about Easter. I'm from a family who has always had something to say about my weight, when I was…

That seems like a way to drop a dumbell on your foot. You should just complain to whoever is in charge about the 17.5#, thats what I'd do :P

Don't ever lift so heavy that you compromise on your form, thats how you get hurt.

She said she went to the doctor and everything was normal!! Thats why I said in addition to everything else! Sometimes people who deal with these things all day every day can have things that will help treat the symptoms!

From what I understand, long term starving causes metabolic damage. Short term does not. So one day of eating 900 calories won't kill you but 9 years of it will do lasting damage. Gorilla eat banana when available. Gorilla no at banana long time gorilla body store extra banana when gorilla eat banana.

This is a long shot, but sometimes going to see a hairdresser could help? I know some are really well trained and they Mauser this problem more often than your doctor. I'm suggesting this on top of everyone else's suggestion. Maybe they know of a shampoo or something that can help? Or maybe they've had other clients with…

I break mine up in 10lbs then 5lb increments (I want to lose 20lbs) And I reward myself with expensive exercise clothes. (Lululemon tops!)

I think that's called a keg ;-) And same for dudes, lift. AND IF YOU DONT WANT TO LIFT, High intensity interval training can help... But not as fast or as awesomely as lifting :-)

LIFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lifting has made my tummy SO much flatter!! (And my bum rounder!!)

I'm in but for less than a pint. I'm a little lactose intolerant, I think. :-/

I do a lot of rock climbing, a little CrossFit and lifting and I eat (sedentary) TDEE-20% + 50% exercise calories. Edit: and of course, cake! Feel free to add me :-)

I recently found that you can add new measurements (ie measure different things from the ones specified on MFP). So I measure both! 5'6", 134lbs: natural waist 25" where I wear my jeans 31".

Ah ha! Well then, see my profile photo. No more tummy "pooch"

Is a tummy pooch a muffin top? When people talk about pooches I think of dogs. And while pictures of dog bellies would be adorable, I doubt it's what you want.

You say there are changes, be thrilled!! Use those to help propell you forward, don't discount them because someone else had different changes. This takes time, Rome wasn't built in a day. Keep your weekends in check, don't trust MFP for calories burned in exercise, get a HRM. You can do it!!

How much weight have you lost and how much do you have to lose? We're you going overboard on drinks? One Long Island iced tea can be 1000+ calories!! Usual response of: weigh food. Track everything. Be patient. To put in perspective, I eat healthy, have had 2 cheat days since New Years, work out 4-6 times per week…

180*0.7 = 126lbs lean body mass 126lbs lean body mass/x lbs body mass =0.75 (% body fat) [solve for x] at 168lbs you would be 25% body fat :)

March 20: 134.4

My 5rm backsquat is 155# and I weight 135, so 115% :)

I got a migraine today too :( I also get nausea and usually throw up, I just write it off as a bad day and move on. I highly doubt you ate toooo much overboard. Feel better, treat your migraines, I know the pain you're in :( :( :(

If you know your %bf there are TDEE calculators that take that into account.

I think either method is good, you just have to pick the one that works best for you. Personally, I prefer to eat more on days I work out!! :-)

Name: Lindsay Age: 25 Height: 5'6" Your current weight: 134 Your goal weight: 120-125 Reasons why you want to lose weight: lower % body fat to climb harder Reasons why you don't want to stay the weight you are now: I want to look and feel good in my clothes

I did sedentary because a desk job is sedentary. I figure better to be safe than sorry, and if I am hungry I can always add more calories later. Be careful with 1200, you don't want to cause metabolic damage by eating consistently below your BMR. My BMR is 1370 and I try to hit within a narrow range of 1370-1390 on days I…

Last time I got one I threw up 18 times :( it was the worst day of my life.

I've lost 2lbs in March so far! March 1: 136 March 8: 135 March 12: 134 :D

Do you want to do strictly TDEE or do you want to do a hybrid of TDEE and MFP? I do a hybrid. I set my TDEE to sedentary and do Sedentary TDEE -20% then eat back 50% of my exercise calories. That way, I can eat more food on days that I work out and I don't feel like I'm forced to work out or I'll gain weight.

For me its: Cold pack on the back of my neck, electrolyte drink, turn the fan on and the lights off. SOMETIMES I can do a podcast, often times not. But it helps me keep from puking if I'm thinking of things other than throwing up. And just try to sleep :(

One of the biggest things I've noticed since starting to count calories/diet is that everyone who knows and is supportive feels the need to justify what they're eating to me. I wouldn't want to encourage that any more. Like one of my best friends who lost a ton of weight (that she didn't have to lose) from getting a…

I got that a lot when I first started, I stopped telling people about it. It SUCKS to not be able to tell friends/coworkers about it. But literally everyone has something to say and often its out of a place of jealousy. If someone comments on your salad, you can always say "UGH! I ate SO MUCH PIZZA last night and I'm just…
