Just an idea, but go to a nutritionist. Go to your doctor and get your resting metabolic rate taken. If it's seriously a concern for you, you should get information based on your own body, not the "averages" to best leverage results. Get a blood panel done, if you haven't already, and see if anything is off, such as…

Thank you EVERYone for your suggestions/advice and personal experience(s)! My dr did conduct a few more test since this post & it looks like the test probably wasn't wrong, I more than likely am in the "pre-diabetic" range. Who knew? Just glad I found out now in the "pre" stage vice the "too late" stage! I haven't had a…

I am SUPPOSED to eat 1200 but I don't always... ;) BUT I wanted to say you're welcome to add me as a friend & my diary is open. Good luck in your goals! :)

I agree! It is SO hard for me to get up early & go work out! I am NOT a morning person...BUT, that being said... 1. I started my "get up early" with not every day. Two days a week I try & get up early. Change isn't done overnight & it's silly to expect that you will stick to something if you burn yourself out on it, so…

I tend to agree, that at 155lbs & 6ft tall, it seems like you may be underweight...? I mean, I'm only 5'2" and I only weight about 20 lbs below that! I can't say, professionally, that it would be good or bad for you, but I do think that if you want to try this to jump start your weight loss it might work, but like everyone…

I'm 5'2" and I current weigh 135, give or take, so my "ideal" weight is about 125-130. Not tooo drastically different in numbers but it does show on my frame quickly since I'm short.

Of COURSE people will reply. This is here to encourage, educate and motivate people. Don't be afraid to ask questions & don't be afraid to eat. Healthy living/eating doesn't happen overnight & we are all (most of us at least :)) working on it day to day. Try to incorporate small change & hang in there!

Carbs are found in breads, pasta, etc. Google it if you're super unsure. You MAY be feeling sick if you're eating things you body doesn't need/want or they are all processed. Also, make sure you're staying hydrated. A box of raisins does not consitute a "lunch" honestly and if that's all you're having than you could really…

I tend to agree with ^ ... this sounds like insufficient caloric intake, even for me and I'm a 5'2" female. I also agree that you should try some things that are less packaged/processed for snacks or foods. Raw Almonds, fresh fruit, vegetables, etc. Those will up your caloric intake slightly but they are better for your…

This is what I do at work as well. 1-2 slices of lemon usually do it for me & kept with some ice/water they work for the whole day. Mint is very refreshing & can help keep you alert, while the cucumber is kinda relaxing. I like all those options b/c they are more natural than adding powders or flavored liquids to your…

Don't be embarrased! 1. If someone IS judging you, THEY aren't working out to THEIR fullest potential & are wasting their own time. If they have the time to sit around and judge others, they should be working harder. 2. If you are there, then it's for you and for noone else, just remember that. You are there to get the…

Honestly, find a really good tailor & get your old stuff taken in. Everything fits & looks better/more expensive when it's tailored for you! Then you have your clothes but they look nicer & you don't have to buy new ones! :)

Thanks! :) I need to be reminded sometimes that even if I slip up, it's not the end of the world and people on MFP are here to encourage, not diminish effort. Logging is embarrasing when I slip but it also helps me the next time to think before I eat something because I know I will have other people see my log and put me…

Reppin SD ;)

awesome!!

Up at 5 am to get ready for work: You have an hour from wake up till waking up oldest, so find a way to stream line your get ready time and use that 20-30 minutes extra to do something. 6am - wake up oldest son: What are you doing b/t 6 and 6:30? This could be almost another whole 30 minutes for you to have an hour of…

I think most my comparisons come from a lot of people who say "asians look alike" lol b/c I don't think I look like anyone really BUT... 1. Lucy Liu - I think because I am asian with freckles but I def don't see any resemblence beyond that 2. "Amber" from the movie Suckerpunch - Ok, this one MAYBE. I did dress up as her…

Hello everyone! It'd be great to have support! Add me if you'd like. I'm 27 and not married, have no kids...but I do want to lose some weight. I'm not what anyone calls "overweight" but I need support/help too. Sometimes those 5-10 lbs are just the hardest to lose! Any tips or thoughts, feel free to share & I'll try to…
