It's been about 5 weeks, but losing 5lbs is a bit of an overexaggeration. That was during PMS time AND an IBS flare. A few days before that, I had been about 145 so it's been about 4 weeks with 0 progress.

I ususally try to overestimate what I'm having, but a majority of what I don't measure is raw fruits and veggies, so does that really make a difference? I mean, I usually estimate x cups of spinach, but judging by the serving size listed on the package, I've usually overestimated by almost double, so I'm recording fewer.…

There we go! And I filled out dinner already because that's what I have prepped/anticipate having. I go back the next morning and correct it if it's wrong.

Burrito! Meaty, cheesy... mmmm... Mexican food has always been my weakness!

Clearly. I was just empathizing with her, and patience can be difficult. But- your determination to make a change needs to be greater than your impatience with your progress. And it IS about mixing things up, even if it's cranking up that treadmill from 3.5 to 3.6 or 5.0 to 5.2. Your body needs to continue to be challenged…

I agree- but for someone with blood sugar issues, eating throughout the day will help prevent cravings and blood sugar spikes. What I meant is that if I get home and I'm not hungry at 6pm, I'm much better off having some yogurt than waiting til I'm hungry at 9pm and having some chocolate because I'm having a sweet craving.…

Just a few observations by looking at your food diary: 1. I didn't see dinner listed on some days. Do you not eat after mid-afternoon? You may be throwing your body off by not having several consistent smaller meals throughout the day. If you're not that hungry, maybe just go for a banana or something right when you get…

Hang in there! For whatever reason, I always seem to lose weight, plateau for a while, and then gain slightly before losing again to get below my previous low (has to do with increased muscle mass like in Okami's post). Always super frustrating. I just went through a gain phase, so fingers crossed I have a loss period in…

I'm with you. I'm 145lbs right now, but I'm trying to slim down and get toned for my upcoming wedding. 119 is ridiculous at 5'2", unless you have a tiny frame. I have broad shoulders and the thinnest I've ever been was 120. I looked ill and didn't like it. The fittest I've ever been was at around 138, when I played tennis…

5'2" and trying to get down from 150 lbs right after Christmas to about 125lbs by the summer. The lightest I've ever weighed was 120 lbs when I was 18, but I actually didn't like that. My bone structure is ridiculous and I have such broad shoulders and ribs that my ribs were starting to show and my face started to look…

I had the same issue as you. But... let me tell you that water helps a TON. I lost 7 lbs in my first week of having 10+ glasses of water a day, without changing much of my diet or exercise. Then, I started with exercise. I have always done ok with maintaining my calories, and although I haven't lost much weight since I…

Congrats on the wedding, and good luck! My wedding is in t minus 321 days (12.21.2014) and I'm also planning on slimming down! Gotta make the hubby's jaw drop when you walk up the aisle, right? ;-)

Hi Everyone! Got engaged November 2012, getting married December 21, 2014. It would seem like we've had FOREVER to plan our wedding, but between my fiance changing jobs, us buying a house, and all the joys that go with both-working-full-time-first-time-homeowner life, things have been nuts. I'm 5'2" and teetering around…

This is really what prompted me to join MFP. I work in a factory and I went to lean over to look at a machine and my pants ripped right at the butt! Luckily I had some decent undies on, but it was embarrassing.... I've owned those pants for ten years (since high school) and I guess I was in denial because I "always fit in…
