MFP gave me 1250 daily calories,and yes, I am just 4"11. I found it impossible to stay within that range, I was hungry, tired and generally unfit to live with. I have upped my daily calorie goal to 1400 and feel better.

I thought showing my boobs was enough

Eggs scrambled with broccoli, onion, tomato, asparagus and cheese..

Well done you! I feel the same way. Lost 10 quick lbs when joining..then nothing for weeks...I'm getting depressed but reading posts like yours helps me keep things in perspective..

Hi, I'm Cynthia. I am a stay at home mother to three children and four cats. I live in Ma, where we are hoping spring will come join us minute now!

Thanks for all the salad ideas! I can't wait for summer and all the fresh veggies..

Yellowstone. Spent many amazing summers camping and hiking with family and friends. It's my go to Happy Place..

Yay! Good for you :) My husband is diabetic and recovering from a heart attack. We joined MFP together to tackle our weight issues and hopefully, get ourselves in shape..

Thank you for bringing this up. I lost weight when I was not exercising but staying within my calorie guidelines. I have not lost any weight since I have begun exercising and eating those calories back. I think I am going to try not eating them back or using them for a special meal.

The last straw for me was being denied entrance to a ride at Hershey Park, the safety bar would not latch over my belly. I had to do the walk of shame in front of everyone..

For men, shaved My hair is long..

You are on your way! Maybe take things in baby steps, instead of being overwhelmed by the 50 lbs you want to lose, perhaps break it down to five pound increments. It probably sounds ridiculous but I congratulate myself on each positive step I take towards getting fit and healthy...I completed 48 minutes of cardio? Yay Me!…

Thanks so much! I am going to give this try...just as soon as I get some chicken breasts..:)

I am the oldest kindergarten mommy. Hoping to lose 50 lbs and get fit. I need to be on my game as I have teenagers and a little one. Good luck to everyone on their way to their goal :)

Please don't be discouraged. Is it possible to think of taking things in baby steps? Instead of thinking about losing 50 lbs, could you break it down into 5 lbs increments? What is your exercise plan? Gym? DVDs? Walking? Perhaps you can make a promise to yourself to do at least 20 minutes of some activity at least three…

Hi, honey, I don't have anything of importance to add, you have received excellent advice already. I just want to let you know there are many of us who understand where you are coming from. I really do want to recommend A Girl Called Jack's blog. She is Britsh, but her food wisdom is sound and translates across the pond :)
