Okay maybe ill quit the weights and just continue to do planks and push ups and that kind of stuff. I wonder why they bother to make 3lb weights then... so dumb. I walk outside too, but I get bored actually because I put the treadmill up to the TV (haha) so I'm actually watching all my recorded shows while I walk/run so I…

Thanks for your responses! So glad I'm finally down the first 30 but the first lbs are always the easiest...I'm thinking the same thing I tried to keep it around 1500 today and will continue this way. Yeah its totally odd actually haha. I can't see it lasting forever but as I get more fit I am going to up the intensity.…

I hate that!! I have the same issue my treadmill says I burn a lot more than this site does. But my treadmill is really old. I would probably go with whichever machine is newer and keep that number in mind.

Its low because you are on the shorter side AND you are very thin...the taller and bigger you are the bigger the BMR will be. when you are small/thin, the body doesn't have to work hard to maintain itself therefore lower rate.

This is me as well! I think its just a genetic thing...makes me so insanely mad though! I literally still get asked if I'm pregnant at 5'7 and 157 pounds...like I'm not that fat jeez haha but my stomach just sticks out its ridiculous I wasn't happy with my stomach when I was thinner before until I was down to 120. Its the…

I.... Don't drink any drinks that don't have calories on them! Like keurig cups or tassimo, my mum throws the box away and puts them on shelve things so I never get to see the nutrition label! Binge eat late at night. & drink an insane amount of tea and diet coke because I always need to have something to drink/snack/hold…

I used to say it was when I was a teenager. Now that I'm a bit older and have been big, I would say exercising is important (don't know your weight history) but I'm trying to deal with skin that I've stretched a bit so I don't want to be skinny fat lol! Also, calories are #1 when dieting to me, I don't count macronutrients…

Thanks for responding! Well I've never been late so I'm assuming its a missed period but its about 10 days late now. There is no way lol! 100% sure otherwise I would be FREAKING out haha. I will definitely see the doc if I miss another one to avoid the related health issues but I just didn't think I worked out enough for…

Ahh you sound exactly like me right now!!! I am about 5'7 and 157 lbs and I am totally stalled!!! I agree with the above posters that say try eating a little bit more. If you can't do that, add a 30 min random workout into your routine to suprise your body! I find dieting doesn't always do it you need that extra metabolism…

I am in a similar situation I started working out like crazy and truly lowering my calories and I just missed my last one. But I am not thin I've just been stressing my body and if I miss the next one I'm going to be super concerned. You however seem to be at a low weight so this could be part of why you aren't getting it,…

Oh my god I HATE this so much. I find I always bloat on days where I have something important to go to. grrr I seriously gain 5 lbs on the scale during my period. Not the week before or anything, but about 2 days before and all during.

I am in the same boat exactly! I wouldn't say 4 cigs a day is a lot though I have been working on quitting, having about 1 a day for a couple months and some days I don't have one but same as you, 2-3 days out I want one all of a sudden when I think I'm winning! haha I find the same thing that I can pretend they dont exist…

I bite my nails like it is my job....plus eating all the time!

First of all my name is Danielle and I just posted for the first time today too! :) Had to start with that. I have to say, I commend you for being a mother and sounding so focused at your age. I can't even fathom the dedication it takes just yet and don't ever be embarassed, your body brought a baby into this world!!!! I…

I wish I was a guy when I read this. Damn.

I am 24 closer to 25... and have lost about 28 lbs since January being super dedicated. The metabolism really slows around 21-22 ladies...I didn't change anything or eat more and I slowly crept up in weight. Nip it in the butt/stomach (hehe) now while you still can!

I just barely make 5'7 and my body shape is apple so I often wear a larger top than bottom. That being said.. At 185 I was wearing size 8-9 (bit tight though) I'm at 157 and am currently comfortably fitting in 8's. At my lowest (about 115) I wore a size 2-4. I have a big range of experience haha

Replying to my own post because someone is spamming up the forum... And realized it says I joined in February...totally forgot about that haha I guess I wasn't committed..

I second this question kind of haa! Everytime I have lost weight in the past it has been so much faster! Mind you I was 20 or so then and my metabolism has seriously slowed... I would say I have lost 30ish pounds since January and that is with serious dedication. I have been pushing myself hard and seriously watching every…

A week is a long time. If you are having pains in the stomach or anything similar I would get some medical advice where they can ask you all that TMI stuff :) I also have this issue often. My advice would be stop taking laxatives or whatever these pills qualify as. Your body is probably very used to them by now so it is…

The above poster is so right. Everyone I know has a different workout strategy. For me, I was a dancer for years and I have always walked my dog (has to be done!haha) and I didn't start seeing results until I put my treadmill on a significant incline and walked with weights in hand. I figure lets get it all done. Also,…

I did not consult my physician but I am a healthcare professional so its a different situation for me. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Sounds like you are doing everything right so far :) I'm sure you can do it, just don't jump in too quickly. Take it slow and listen to your body. Best of luck!

For me, it took FOREVER to see results. I worked out when I was overweight and I work out more now but it took a LOT of waiting. Keep your head up and don't be discouraged. Plateaus happen ('I am in one now) and don't weight yourself too often - it can be very discouraging. It seems you hate working out (me too! I don't…

I feel very similar to you. Commit again - don't give up. When you see results, it will help you continue. I started so many times and I never got results in the first month to be honest I don't know why but being female our bodies are resistant to change! Our hormones are like....stay fat woman!!! So remember that and…

I literally always have a headache but I never relate it to food though I know its related... I'm going to watch for this except my problem is I always seem to have a headache! (not dehydrated,even well hydrated always) but I think mine is a sinus issue...

Welcome! I seem to undereat at every meal except dinner,where I grossly overeat (especially with family or in a social setting). I typically feel guilty day of and that used to be it. Since I've committed to this weight loss and realized how overweight I really was when I didn't pay attention and enjoyed myself when I…

Grab :)

Clean eating does have something to do with it as bad foods cause bloating, digestion issues and more. I am one of these people! I have been everything from Very overweight to clinically underweight...and I don't lose my lower abdomen fat until I am pretty much skinny as hell everywhere else. Its some BS actually. Plus I…
