  • Currently 154 and my goal is between 125-130. It's nice to see everyone has around the same goals!
  • Don't be embarassed of your stretch marks. A lot of people get them. Even skinny girls! I got them when I was 12 and by no means was I over weight. I got them from growing so tall so fast during puberty. There's no way I could even help that my skin was stretching. Just embrace it as it is!
  • so if your goal is 1200 and you do 300 worth of exercise, eat up to 1500. That's okay because you still net 1200. But MFP has the tendency to not have correct amounts of calories for exercise. It tends to be over generous. This may cause you to think you have more calories to eat when you don't and can hinder your weight…
  • I used to always wonder this too until I spoke with a personal trainer. You need to eat them back because you do not want to throw your body in starvation mode. You need to eat at least 1200 (for a female) a day so you don't go into starvation. If you exercise 300 calories off (1200-300), you net 900 calories in which your…
  • EA ACTIVE 2. Best thing ever!! Over 90 exercises with 3 different fitness levels. Puts you on a 9 week program and comes with a HRM to track calories more efficiently. If you have a Wii fit board, it incorporates it as well. It's awesome!

  • I use my Wii for exercise which means I can exercise at home. EA Active 2 is a good program as it comes with a HRM for tracking calories burned more efficiently. I highly recommend it. You can start off easier and the program gets harder as you go! As for foods, I like high protein food! I drink soy milk, eat Special K…
  • Calculate your BMI. (you can find a BMI calculator on google). It will tell you a healthy weight range to be in. 90 lbs would put you at 125 lbs which would be underweight!
  • Maybe it stems from his insecurities? If you lose weight, he may feel threatened because you will feel more confident and sexy. He needs to get over it and should be supportive of you no matter what you want. My opinion is do what makes you happy, as long as you are doing it the healthy way. Have you asked him why he has…
  • I know what you mean. I just started using MFP again just over a month a go. I stopped last August when I went on vacation. I think it just takes a while to get in to. After you loose your first 5-7 and start seeing results it gets easier. I am thrilled that I have lost 8 lbs! And I refuse to eat at restaurants with no…
  • You sound very similar to me. -5''4, 160 lbs, 22 years old Been doing MFP for just over a month now. Can I ask how long it took you to lose your weight?
  • Sounds like me! Gained 15 pounds after being on anti-depressants for severe allergies last december. After 3 months, I had to stop the medication. Im 5''4, 22 years old and 162 lbs. Look to weigh 130! Kelsie
  • Eating out does not have to be hard! I have a boyfriend who loves going out for dinner so I had to find a way to adjust using MFP. You just have to create a system. If my friends, family or boyfriend want to go out, I need to know where we are going and I need to know the day before or the morning of so I can plan my meals…
