"Fiber and the Digestive Tract" references diarrhea as a potential problem for some and gives suggestions for less irritating sources of fiber. University of California San Francisco Med Center patient education http://www.ucsfhealth.org/education/fiber_and_lactose/ Hope you feel better.

I'm same stats as you, OP! 5'4" My goal is 120 pounds- I'm at nearly 124 pounds. I was 115 pounds in my 20s even through having several children. There is a great, long-running thread on the forum called 5'4" girls with lots of pictures that can give you an idea of how different all our frames can be and how we carry that…

I am using a Misfit Flash (Best Buy around $50) fitness tracker which I love because no charging and it will separately track sleep, walking, running, dancing without me telling it to do anything. It also will add up my regular steps like even climbing stairs, that other trackers maybe miss. All the steps will add up to an…

Try the book "Facercise". Can't remember the author, Carole something... You may can Google some pictures or video on YouTube.

Hi OP! I'm very similar to you- cannot tolerate protein supplement anything, no matter what it is. I hate meat. I started MFP to lose 20 pounds (5 pounds left or so) and to start tracking my micronutrients and macros, especially the protein piece. I just wanted a balance. I've been eating low protein since I was a child…
-
Awww, thanks. I really appreciate that. It is doable. I've been a homemaker, but about to start a job so hope to get more active in my day to day outside of exercise. It is hard for me to even get in 5000 steps a day, lol.

Sounds like we are twins!

I'm 5'4" and started at 140 back in September. I've lost 15 pounds so now at 125 with 5 more to go. I usually eat in 1270 range, don't eat my 280-350 exercise calories back. If I get hungry, I will eat 100 extra until hunger goes away, but that happens maybe once a week. Very sedentary other than some walking/running maybe…

Yes, we are hitting pre menopause! It's so much fun, lol. Feel free to add me too! I'm nearly 46, 4 children myself, since September I've been on somewhat of an overhaul with my diet (LESS pasta, carboholic). I had gained 20 pounds, with 10 of those in 2014-which woke me up quickly!
-
I'm definitely interested in this info, Shartran ! Thanks so much for sharing that.
-
I am really not sure what you are talking about as far as financial websites. I guess I don't have any common sense. I am sure you are right. Bye now. I wish you well on your loss.

Some people may find that cardio is raising their cortisol and may find they will enjoy lifting better; others, like myself, find that running reduces cortisol and is much needed. I find I personally get great results from it. I personally don't have these cortisol ill effects from cardio. Others find they get better…

You are, of course, right!
-
Amen! #FirstWorldProblems for sure. OMG, "chubby, nervous first world people" gave me a good chuckle. Thank you so much. This forum would be a lot better if people would stop assuming the worst about when people post. I'm assuming the OP is reasonably able to read over the stickies with pertinent information on her own.…

I know. Who wants to listen to a dietician (and the My Fitness Pal Food & Nutrition Editor to boot!) when we have allllllllll these experts on the forums. I adore 5 minute workouts, by the way.

A dietician answers this question on the MFP blog today....... http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/ask-the-dietitian-should-i-eat-back-my-exercise-calories/?utm_source=mfp&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=weekly20150112&mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRoku6rBZKXonjHpfsX64%2BotUKexgokz2EFye%2BLIHETpodcMTsJmMK%2BTFAwTG5toziV8R7DBLM153N8QXRTg

I'm not interested in "eating less to weigh less" either. I'm interested in NOT gaining weight when I originally came here to lose weight. Everyone is doing a different fitness regimen of their choosing, has different metabolism from each other. Obviously, mine is slower than yours. But I will no longer let people bully me…
-
Grooveadelic, I agree with your doctor. I'm 5'4" , 129 lbs, 45 years young, have 9 more to lose. Weird- I ate 1670 calories like MFP told me to (by eating back my exercise calories) and I gained weight! Back to eating 1270 and success. Really, noone can assume they are eating the correct amount of calories or amount of…
-
Like you, I was deciding over these two. I ultimately decided on the Misfit Flash. I've had zero problems (some people report it popping out or going dead when it got wet). Reviews said that the Fitbit doesn't track stairs-and that Misfit was more accurate. I think it really is as I have stairs. Fitbit must be charged…
-
I love my Nutribullet and I use mine like the OP does, as a snack, to keep me feeling full. So usually I don't add the almond milk, just water. For sweetness, I can pretty much add 8 red grapes(in the small cup) or a small fruit cup with Bartlett pears(more calories if I need) to sweeten things up if it's any fruit drink…

You can connect with other users on their app for comparison, but it's pretty basic. It will compare your activity to them from yesterday or today. There is also a newsfeed but it's not that exciting to me. What is exciting with this tracker is how accurate it seems to be for me with sleep or with activities. It won't…

Wow, amazing progress!!!
-
Add me! I am also on journey to lose 20 lbs and make this a lifestyle change. Love logging and positive motivating on MFP.
-
I just got one two days ago and I love it. You just can't beat the price! You don't have to set it to measure sleep or going for a run or a walk. From what I understand, you will only have to set other activities like cycling, swimming. It is battery charged like a watch and it tells time, too! It synced up to MFP with no…

Everyone is giving great advice; I just wanted to add this. There is a book called Facercise; the premise is there are muscles in your face and they need exercising too. I don't know the author. Seriously, it's hard! Most I just cannot do because it's just too focused for me, it's uncomfortable. I especially do the neck…

I use red seedless grapes to sweeten up smoothies. Granted, I have not attempted beets.

Similar situation to you-but I started at 140 lbs and 5'4". I'm older so slower metabolism. I generally don't eat back my exercise calories unless I am hungry. I eat around 6small meals with protein so I am really not hungry often! I lost 7.8 pounds in 30 days. I exercised around 5-6 days a week, usually 40-60 minutes. I…

I'm in my 40's, feel free to add me - any of you. I love logging and encouraging others, I'm approaching 40 day mark and not going anywhere. I am not a meat eater for most part, and I am a Nutribullet user. MFP has been so motivating to me fitness-wise so I really think it is important to have friends on here.
