"ill eat better/exercise tomorrow so its ok" "no one really cares what I look like anyways so why bother" ...I just take moment to remember why I want to get back into shape and to keep trying even if I mess up some days : )

Thank you for your comment!! Very informative!! You look great! :)

I understand that im still in the healthy range for my age/height etc but its just not what I want. I didnt start gaining weight until I was 20+ (started college..got married etc) so I still was under 110 for a few years AFTER high school..I just say high school weight as a more general term, for before I gained weight, if…

That isnt what I think at all and if you had read any of my replies in this thread you would KNOW what im talking about. Please dont make such presumptuous comments while ignoring what Im saying its ridiculous...

Id say I eat pretty normal/healthy..after I got married and life happened my H and I were going out a lot more than we probably should have haha which is probably why I gained most of the weight. And of course not being quite as active as I used to. Ive been making a big effort to stop getting the going out food and…

i say it makes me feel HUGE because it does lol.. when you compare 105 to 125 its a 20 pound difference and on a short body that shows a lot! Am I supposed to be excited about being bigger than I want to be? Lol I dont really care if im still in 'normal range' because it still effects my confidence level and when I was…

Im confused by your comment tbh..im not depressed lol. If you feel comfortable at 120 that is good for you but I didnt really make this thread for people to complain about my goal weight because its different than theirs... I also didnt say my weight gain is because of the aging process...I asked "Is it just because my…

I like your guy's discussion! I was done growing in high school though..actually Im pretty sure I reached my height of 5'1 in middle school and there I stopped growing haha. I dont think my body has changed much other than this added weight which is why im so disconcerted about it. I have no medical issues of any sort…

if you HAVE to snack...find low cal /healthy snack foods like fruits and veg..I try to grab something like this if Im really feeling the need : ) I like grapes because I can slowly munch on them and only about 50 cal in 1 cup give or take

Id say im eating clean as I cant imagine what eating dirty is like LOL!!! nahh but really..Im just making healthier choices in general.. I dont want to be too restricted or i would probably fail haha :) CICO for me.

I use a hair wrap towel to keep my hair dry in the shower when Im not washing it! You can get them in a 2 pack at target for 10 dollars in the bath/shower section! I shower every day (especially in summer) but I only need to wash my hair twice a week..or it would get way too dry and probably fall off Haha :)

we have similar goals!! Feel free to add me as a friend (and anyone else here for that matter haha) im 5'1 looking to get back to 100-109 range..currently about 121-123 lb! Just started MFP a few weeks ago. :) Im doing my weigh in tomorrow and hoping that I lost a little bit..Im doing a 0.5 lb a week weight loss regime.

We are similar in goals!! I am 5'1 and looking to lose 10-15 pounds as well..my goal weight is somewhere between 100-109...which was my normal weight that I had been most my high school life (im 25)...I am currently around 121-123! Ive only just started MFP a few weeks ago and Im still learning but every day is getting…

Thank you! You are so right im sure! I will try not to worry so much about the scale right now. I guess im still trying to figure out my exercise routine too so I we'll see I spose!........ eek

I weigh and measure yes! :)

Yes I do feel better/healthier on the inside atleast!! I feel not so bloated and tired like I used to! Its just pretty discouraging because I feel like ive been soooo good and its not paying off..I dont have much to lose so I thought that it wouldnt be so difficult!

Yes I think I will do that today that is a good idea!! I do FEEL better..like on the inside haha. But I just dont think i LOOK different so maybe the measurements will help!

Yea i have no idea..im very deligent about my calories so I dont think im over eating...I come in just under my calories as I try to stay in that slightly hungry mode so I dont over eat. If I cut out any more calories than what I have already I would probably faint! I am eating healthy too! The unhealthiest thing im my…

I really only consider exercise where I know that my heart rate was UP for a significant amount of time...so normal daily activities like cleaning house/laundry/shopping/prepping meals/playing with animals etc.. I dont count in my calories. I will count calories for walking (at a significant pace), jogging, stair running…

5'1 123 lb usually a US 5 or 6 ish in pants, My goal is to get back into my size 2's (US)

Wow so amazing!! Great job!!! :)

Thanks guys I will look into it!

Thank you everyone so much for the replies it gave me lots to think about!!! Im still trying to figure out what might be best for me and I totally agree that Ill attempt only .5 pounds a week at roughly 1400ish a day but I probably wont be TOO crazy. Im definitely trying to get into veggies more...I try them all different…

Thank you for the suggestion haha yes I dont know how I lasted this long tbh even now my tummy is rumbling!!! LOL. I think i was being a little overzealous perhaps, I just cant wait to look good again!

Oh that is true and yea I do feel like I am going a bit crazy LOL! I will have to find a scale thank you for your replies It definitely helped!!!!!!

Oh I tried what you suggested! Seemed to work a bit better...I reentered the info and changed it to lightly active (maybe im more active then I thought?? idk haha) and now MFP is saying 1240 cal for 1 pound a week (so not very much) or 1490 cal for .5 pound a week (its 1300 if i keep it at sedentary for .5 a week) The 1490…

hi there! Well I think I have it set to 2 lbs a week, im being pretty aggressive haha. But when I change the settings for only .5 pounds a week MFP only suggests an extra 90 cal (so total 1290) : / I Have it set to sedentary as I dont do a whole lot through out the day when Im not exercising..I usually am cleaning, playing…

Feel free to add me!! And anyone else for that matter. I am also new :)

beautiful!!
