Lululemon has their collection that is street wear and can work as sweat gear if you need.

Cheesecake...a variety of flavors not just one!

Sounds like you’re not eating enough at that much activity level. You’re body will slow down it’s metabolism once it feels as if it’s not getting enough calories for how much you are exerting. I lost 4 dress sizes before my wedding, over 8 months. Working out 5-6 days a week and I had to eat closer to 1900 calories a day…

Staying within the 20's percentage is considered healthy at your age. Everyone has a different goal as far as what they prefer, either health or aesthetic goals. I feel healthy when I am closer to the low 20 percent, so it's really what you want for yourself. My goal though is to hit between 18-20% for myself.

Hello, I am 5'4" and three quarters with a medium frame. I started at 150, and currently at 138. My goals would be to get below 130 pounds, maybe 125 at the lightest, but I know that would sacrifice my muscles which I really don't want to do. I usually average around 140, so getting lower is a lot of hard work for me. Feel…

Cool program...I am also the same weight not losing, but leaning out, so this is interesting!

Hello, I dont rest longer than 15-30 seconds between sets. I also do circuits straight through, or HIIT of a cardio move between lifting sets. I really could care less if everyone is watching me bust out burpees or mountain climbers between lifting sets in the middle of the room, its my workout.

Thanks!

Thanks Vune for keeping this group posting! Starting weight 150 Week 6 146 Week 7 144 Week 8 142 Today Week 9 143 (Pre TOM) Waist is 28 Hips 36 3/4 Boyish figure :/ Been losing motivation, but still going strong.

I can definitely relate. We eat our meals together, but I will only eat small portions and with all veggies for my entrees. He will eat the starch and larger portion of our meals. Other times, I just cook him separate meals than mines.

Hello, I work out 6 days a week. I make sure I lift weights for major muscle groups 4 days a week for at least an hour. As for cardio, I do 2 days of Turbo Kick, and the remaining 4 days, I do up to 45 minutes of either walking, elliptical, videos, running, yoga, or HIIT. So bottom line is that I work out 6 days a week, I…

Sorry for your loss. Great attitude on getting back to taking care of your health!

Hi Ladies. You can do it! Ive always been more a size 8-9 all my life, but for my wedding day I told myself no way! I worked out up to 6xs a week, deficted 500 calories every day straight for 8 months and bought my dress at a size 8, then when it came to alter my dress, I got down to a size 3 1/2! Unfortunately, im back up…

Hello, im not an expert on fitness by all means. Looking at your diary, it seems that you might be eating too much if you are just sedentary, and there isnt much of a deficit when discussing your tdee and goal calories. Feel free to check out my diary if you want, its open. I work out up to 5xs a week with 2-3 of those…

Thanks for these amazing recipes!

Hi, im not sure what your body frame is, but Im 5'4" as well and my medium frame healthy weight should range between 125-140, so my goal weight is 130. From what I know, 1500 is a good amount of calories to work on to lose at a slow healthy pace.

I agree. Im trying to lose weight, but mostly fat specifically and maintain my muscles. If you eat too little your body begins to use muscle as a source of energy. I eat more on my days that I exercise more intensely.

Hi add me too. Looking for support to keep my fitness for good!

Starting weight 5 weeks ago 150 Last week weigh in was 146 Today weigh in 143.8 Im happy with the numbers, but Im not taking it too seriously because Im always heavier the week right before the time of my month, and then I lose it. Pushing through everyday day....my body is starting to feel tighter and my clothes are…

Thanks for this cool advice. I will definitely have this very shortly.

Wow, thanks. I love shirataki noodles! Great to hear different ideas.

Thank you for responding to my original post.

Hi, I just joined this group, but my Feb 22nd weight was at 146. 4 pounds lost since I began 4 weeks ago.

Hey ladies. I have the same problem right now, but its the time of the month for me. I lost 5 pounds by week three of starting mfp recently and then I gained 3 pounds and still have not lost it since last week. Ive been feeling disappointed, but hopefully its only water weight.

Hi everyone. My name is Crystal Age 30 5'4" Current 146 Goal 130 I really want to get back in shape like how I used to be. If I plan on getting pregnant in the next few years, I also want to be at a healthy weight before gaining a ton.

Hi, this is my first time entering a group, im pretty new to mfp. Im shooting for 1200-1400 a day. Usually on days when I work out, ill eat as much as 1600- 1900 calories when I have intense workouts. My weight loss has been slow, and especially when Im going through my time of the month...frustrated. I also use a polar…

Ok, so I just checked my original post now, and ive only seen a few responses that offered me advice relevant to my question. I dont know why everyone is responding to everyone elses threads, but thanks to those who helped me figure out if my junk food was slowing my weight loss process. I feel better that it most likely…

Everyone has great thoughts. Its okay to disagree, and be supportive :smile:

Thanks guys for your thoughts. I can eat pretty clean for my meals, but my snacking is definitely not clean.
