I did scrambled eggs, with onions and leftover Easter ham and of course cheese! It was yum and very filling.

I switched. There was a period of about two weeks where the scale went up. It passed and dropped back down. Best thing i ever did! I like knowing as long as I exercise 4 days a week at an hour each time my tdee is x number. You should play around with it. If you find you're not losing or losing too much adjust it up or…

I'm 5'2. While losing I was able to eat anywhere from 1500 ( when I started) to 1330 when I got close to goal. With exercise that got bumped up to between 1700 when I started to 1500 when I finished. I can maintain on 1530 calories with no exercise, but my runs are longer now and I spend more time exercising (120 minutes 4…

Those scales are not really accurate with body fat. I have an aria and it says I'm anywhere from 24.4% to 28% however I recently had a body pod test done and I'm at 20.2%. My range is 119lbs to 123 and I'm 5'2. When eating at a deficit you can almost guarantee you're losing muscle but don't really fret too much about the…

And don't compare your loss to others. He is a male and they have different caloric needs. My husband and I go on 4-5 mile runs. He burns close to 900 according to his Garmin. I burn 500-600 according to mine. It's just how it is.

Try to do something else outside in addition to the gym. Fine tune your weekends. Make sure you're weighing every food and drink being put in your mouth. Reduce the number you're giving for burns on your exercise. If weekends are a struggle that is probably a huge part of your issue.

What is your caloric intake after dinner? If you're under a few snacks won't hurt you. I had two mini packs if Reese pieces and a pb egg last night. If you are just craving sweets and want to curb that. I freeze yogurt, make my own ice cream with frozen fruits and freeze grapes. Tricks my mind a little and curbs the…

Now that I'm buying more of these and less junk. The price seems high, but not buying junk counters the price. It's actually pretty close to the same. I just buy less in one trip but go a few times a week to replenish. This year I am growing my own veggies like peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and will use farmers markets as…

I do that too. Look at my before and after. Today was day 233 for me on here and in those 233 days I lost 50lbs, can run 4 miles and walk 10. I can climb hills and look completely different. In less than a year, 233 days exactly we could make America 50lbs lighter if people would stop saying I can't, or falling for…

There's a facebook post on the today shows page about a obese super model. It kind of blew my mind reading comments of several people who believe you can be obese and healthy. America is in a huge state of denial. I get it. At 5'2 and 171 I was obese and thought I was healthy. Now that I'm maintaining between 119-123 I…

Agree with this. I've been at this for 11 months, been in maintenance for 4 months and this to a tee. Weigh your food. You could also be overestimating burn and eating too many back if you are accurately weighing. Weigh your food, and give it a few weeks.

Everyone seemed to hit it. I run 3 days a week, and I'm always a pound or so higher the day after. It's normal. I'm in maintenance now and weigh daily to check trends, my progress is up and down and has been since I started. Normal!

I just find one by typing in usda and then go back and make sure it's correct by looking at the usda website. So far, not had a issue.

Ive been in maintenance 3 months. I entered maintenance at 116.0. I gained a few adjusting maintenance and range between 119-124. The other day I went out on a hot date with my husband and got up to 127. 3 days post date I'm down to 123.6. It's not fat. Flucuations are normal.

Mine is 1530 according to mfp but I run 3 days a week so I use scooby and as long as I run 3 days a week (110 minutes each day) I can have 1810

I got down to 116 and now stay between 119-125 Good luck!!

I'm 5'2 and looked obese at 145. I'm 123-124 now and look my best where I'm at. It's all on how you look and feel.

I didn't notice in the mirror. Pictures told the story for me. Take pictures and take them often.

You're going to bounce between numbers. It's actually normal. My weight at maintenance was 116. I bounce between that and 122 often. I wouldn't worry about it.

I like to make turkey wraps or Lettuce wraps veggies and hummus. Tuna salad with ritz crackers. Salad.

Sweat does not indicate a hard workout. I don't sweat much either and still have surpassed many of the fitness goals I set for myself.

Cutting out things has never worked for me. This time I decided to not cut out anything and just altar it a bit. So I switched to diet and would only have one if I drank water first. I lost 50lbs and reached goal this way and have maintained for 2 months, so it worked. Every other attempt at weight loss has never come to a…

Youre eating more than you think. If you truly were eating less than 1200 you would not have gained. Weigh all your food. All of it. And since you say between two numbers, you're also guessing on your shock meal. You're eating more than you think you are.

My goal was 125 but when I got there I still had a lot of fat (5'2) so I went to 116 and liked how i looked there. Started recomp to tone and now weigh 119 and have the beginnings of a pretty toned stomach.

The actual device you wear is more accurate than the apps on your phone. If you really want to track steps, get an actual Fitbit.

171 to 119 And my profile pic is another one. :-)

I looked into them, until I saw that both young living and doterra have been in trouble in the past for selling practices. no thank you.

I'm 5'2. I started at 171 got to my goal of 125, 125 didn't look right so got down to 116, added more weight and started body recomp and am starting to look nice at 119.8

Same here. My goal was 125 but I couldn't stop eating at a deficit and got down to 116. I realized I had to get over the mental thing because I was starting to look too thin. Finally got it figured out and am now 119 and range between 116-120
