Yeah, What he said!

:)

Once you get healthy like you are trying to do, you will realize that food should only be used as fuel for your body. It's simple math. Provide enough fuel and your body runs great. Don't give it enough fuel or crap fuel and your body will not run like it is supposed to. I consider myself to be pretty healthy and pretty…

I am 5'3 1/2" and much older than you. I don't go by a goal weight. I want to stay a size 2-4 and I am very happy with that. So for me that means 122 lbs. When I was young and had no muscle, I would weight @110 but I still have the same clothes as I do now. I am so much more in shape than I ever was. So in short, I…

Yeah I looked back through the whole month of July and saw pretty much the same thing. If you could try and eat a more natural clean diet to get your calories from the day I think you will see great results. Think about food to fuel your body, blood, muscles, mind ect. If you spend 400 calories on 2 slices of pizza, it…

I snooped and looked at your diary from this week and I think I know how you can do better to suceed. Although you are getting your correct goal calories, I don't think you are using the food the way your body needs. I would work on eating real clean. Food the way nature intended it, meaning if you can recognize where it…

I am 125 and I am happy with that. :)

I can tell you how I use EMTWL. I am 41 (almost 42) and I currently weight 129Lbs (4lbs up due to eating crap the past month) I am 5' 3 1/2". I was a 1200 calorie girl and always watched that scale like a hawk. I thought my life would be complete if I could just get it to 120. I exercize 5 days a week. Being of MFP I…

Thanks guys!! I am still over the moon. Now all I have to do is get back on track from my vacation before I lose all of my hard work!! :)

I would take the "lead by example" route. Let her see you eating as wonderful as I am sure you do and she will take mental note of that. I have family and friends ask me questions about what I eat and I am glad to answer them. I know for a fact that if I were to aproach the subject with my twin sister who is overweight,…

Eat every 3 hours. Eat MORE THAN 1200 calories. Eat nice,clean, healthly REAL food. Do 3 days of strength training combined with 3 days of cardio. ALL OF THESE THINGS WILL BOOST YOUR METABLOISM ALL DAY LONG AND YOU WILL LOOK AWESOME!!!!

Fabulous!!!

I eat cheese every single day! Great calcium, great protein, great taste!! Yum!

I am 5'3 1/2" and I weigh 125lbs and I am happy with that. I am a size 4 so I think it would be unrealistic of me to want to be any smaller. :)

Isn't that wonderful!!!! Congratulations!

You're not eating enought. 1200 calories are just way too low to lose weight. I am eating close to 2000 per day. If you want this to last forever than don't deprive yourself. If you stick to 1200 per day than you will lose weight and then put it right back on. Good luck hon! :)

You're a trip!!

I will await others answers since I can't seem to ever keep my sodium in line.

Feel free to add me anyone. I am 41 5'3" and 125lbs so currently trying not to blow a good thing. LOL

Sex: Female Age: 41 Weight: 125 last time I checked a week ago Height: 5' 4" How many calories you NET per day: 1800 average How many times per week you exercise w/minutes: 5 times per week 1 hour each time

That's funny that you wrote that. When I was just learning about all of this. (I still am really) I asked a ton of questions and you ladies were right there to help me with such support. It has changed my life. The funny thing is, now that I have been doing this for a few weeks I see that so many people that are new to…

I think I love you!!!! LOL

Hit that strength training!! Thats what you need. You will be very happy with what happens to your body. Good luck!!

I sure can hon...you're simply not eating enough food in a day. I am 5'4" and weight 125 and I eat @1800-2000 calories per day. I make sure my diet is clean and healthy (with some goodness thrown in once in a while) Do me a favor and check out the forum "Eat More to Weigh Less" on the message boards. Take some time to read…

Oh my goodness no!! If I had my way I would eat pizza and ice cream everyday but unfortunately I would then starve the rest of the day. With only eating @1800 calories if I didn't eat "real" food I would be hungry all day. I need quantity in my day which mean that i need quality to be able to eat 5 meals a day. I def allow…
