just subbing as i am having to increase calories...quite scary to go from 1200 (plus burned calories) to 2200!

erm...ego trip much? You look great! Dont want to turn into a Guido :laugh: [or maybe you do?:glasses: ]

If anyone is starting this or recently started, please join my thread! I think it would be great for added support and motivation :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/603570-may-june-30ds-challenge-join-here

http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc It seemed less risky (since it was less calorie loss) than what MFP said. Acording to that i lost about 405 calories in 65 minutes of mowing. It is an option on MFP, but it thought i burned more like 500 calories...wasn't sure which was right, so i took the lower risk (i eat my…

Purchased two 3lb weights...is that going to be enough? Im thinking of starting 30DS today...wish me luck! Im trying to get the hubby to join too lol

I can def see a difference in your face and stomach, which looks flatter too! I think your arm is a little smaller also. you rock. so proud of you!

What formula determines this based on frame? What sites have you found reliable? Would love to inquire. And thank you <3

So, are you saying i should eat 2088 and then exercise to lose 384. Thus my total food i would consume in a day should be 2088 (even if i exercise). I just want to make sure i understand this. You really sound knowledgeable :D

oh and just wanted to mention, when you get your blood work done, try your best to get it tested as close to waking up as possible. As the day goes on, thyroid function varies. Thyroid as soon as you get up is the best reading you can get.

3.0 is good...but if you are still having symptoms, then it still may not be low enough. Sometimes doctors only take into consideration the numbers when really it shouldn't be the only thing they consider. Goat's Rue may be helpful...but whatever you do, stay away from fenugreek.

I know Goats Rue is good for lowering TSH levels. Do you have any idea of what your numbers are? (I have thyroid issues as well). A lot of old school doctors think that TSH of 0.5-5.0 is fine, but this is simply not true!!! It should be 0.5-3.0 If its above 3.0 then it is hypo. If its below 0.5 then its hyper. I would not…

sarahd2007 - he nurses pretty much non stop lol. At least 12x per day, but i attachment parent, so its a large bulk of the day. Thanks for the advice everyone!!

At 188lb i am back to prepregnancy weight now. So ive lost all of the baby weight...as embarrassing as that is... Sleep is pretty decent. We co sleep so he wakes up, he latches, i go back to sleep lol. My baby is 3 months old.

This is interesting, because this is what i thought before getting on MFP. this is what many sources say...but then i get on here and read a bunch of postings and there are SOOO many people that talk about getting to goal weight and to make sure you eat back burned calories. Theyve said ppl who plateau need to do this (eat…

My clothes are not fitting any better. And ive done measurements and in the last 5 weeks they have hardly gone down. Jeans are still tight as hell, and im still in a size Large shirt. Nothing is fitting any better. I rarely eat processed foods. Every once in a while i do (like today we had hamburger helper) but this is NOT…

Happily Married for 4 years and taken for 8 <3 Married since i was 20 to my high school sweetheart :heart:

i ended up doing Zumba (on the Wii) for 45 minutes...killer intense! we are going to rhode island tomorrow, so hoping to start monday (with the weights).

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I want try it today, but i dont have weights. Should i wait until i can get weights to do it? or willit work without? You guys have given me a great deal of confidence:flowerforyou:

You will do fine. My situation is a little different since i dont have to worry about college anymore. But my husband and i managed it! We are now 24. but we had our first baby at 21 (miscarried that one though). Had our second baby (a boy!) at 22 and at 23 we had another boy. Some of the best moms i know are "young" like…

WOW!!!! You all are incredibly inspiring and so beautiful! This is such a motivation and i hope to one day be like you!

Managed to get 2 miles in babywearing a 3 month old and pushing the 20 month old in the stroller! Total walked so far: 6 miles. Goal: 30 miles: To go: 24 miles

Dittoing the Vit C and the iron foods. Also try to avoid anything with calcium around the time you eat iron foods (or take iron supplements). Calcium decrease iron absorption. Read up on foods that have calcium. you would be surprised what does! For instance, who would have ever thought brocolli was high in iron?! It is.…

wrong place Sorry!

The less processed food, the better. Initially when i joined MFP i was only about losing weight, but since i have learned a bit about food and a healthy body, i have realized its not just about calorie counting. When you eat better, you feel better! It's okay to have a fun piece of food here and there, and i agree with a…

I try to eat as clean as possible, though i have to admit i will have a pizza and a coke for dinner, occasionally...but everything in moderation ;) I recommend buying fresh produce, if possible. I prefer organic if its available. It's a little more expensive, but much healthier. I think it's worth the extra change.…

Im 5 foot 2, 24 years old, 188lb, BF%=42.5:blushing: Im working on it though! I started out 51%....:sick:
