Introduce yourself
Hi Bostonians :) I live a little north of the city, but I love going into Boston. Love Faneuil Hall, Newbury St. I just finished law school & was in the city every day, and now I rarely go but I'm hoping to get a job downtown!

Help for confused, 5 foot tall woman?
Hi! I've been on and off the weight loss journey for years now. I was at my lowest (116) about 4 years ago. I stopped restricting calories and slowly the weight crept back on. In January I hit 168 and knew I had to turn things around. I've been dieting/exercising consistently since 1/6/20 and I've lost about 13.5lbs. Since…

5 feet or other short women- please help! calorie confusion
So- I've been on my weightloss journey since October and I've lost 35lbs (yay!) but it's going a lot slower than I'd like. I've just calculated my TDEE on the scooby workshop- seems to be the one most people here are using. It's saying my TDEE is 1745, then I reduce by 25% and get 1309. (My BMR is 1454). I just want to be…

Progress Pic! Down 32lbs!
Hope this works! I've never posted a pic before. So that was me last summer, around my heaviest weight. I tried to avoid cameras so I definitely don't have many full body pictures from that time. And the other pic is last week. I'm so happy with my progress. I have about 35-45lbs to go which sounds overwhelming, but trying…

TDEE help please!
So, if I set my TDEE (using the scooby website) at sedentary, I get 1413. If I say lightly active, I get 1619. Would it make sense to eat at 1413 on days I don't workout, and the higher amount on days I do? Typically I work out 4-5 days a week. My workouts are generally 2-3 miles of jogging for cardio & then lifting. I do…

How does this sound?
Just looking for a little feedback here.. I've lost about 27lbs since mid-October. These last few weeks I've totally plateaued. So I've decided to make a few changes. I was counting calories before, but eating a lot of crap (ie Dunkin' Donuts bagels, candy when it fit into my calorie count, etc.) So basically I am now…

So Frustrated! :(
I just need to vent. I started my weight loss journey in October, and I've been losing pretty steadily since then. As of today I've lost 27lbs. I still would like to lose another 40lbs at least. Currently, my weight loss seems to have stalled. I'm so frustrated because I am SO far from my goal and I feel like it's a…

newbie foot soreness
Hi all! So glad I found this group! I am just starting out with the C25K program (iphone app). I've noticed that my feet have been pretty sore- mostly my heels. Is this normal? I do have good sneakers, New Balance, but I don't think they are specific running shoes. I just bought them to work out in general. I don't really…

Kindle book sharing
Soo, wondering if any other Kindle users out there wanted to share/lend books back & forth? I just got mine last week, only have 2 books so far--but I thought I'd see if any peeps on here wanted to share w/each other? :bigsmile:

delicious dinner
I decided to make a low-cal version of one of my old favorites tonight...a buffalo chicken wrap. I used: * Fiber One honey wheat wrap * 4 Morningstar buffalo "chicken" tenders * 1tbsp Ken's lite blue cheese dressing & a few Popchips on the side. It's so yummy & under 300 calories too :)

NSV--face fat
Soo I was randomly looking through pics on my phone and found one from early Aug. when I was on my way to a wardrobe fitting..80's theme movie so I look ridic in full makeup, but I noticed my face was SO much fuller. Took a pic and my face has definitely thinned down :) YAY!

so so gross
Ok, I have no idea if this is common knowledge, but it certainly wasn't to me! On tonight's episode of Bones, they were testing some chocolate & lab tech said there was nothing unusual in the chocolate, just the "usual" like spider parts. :noway: Omg, so I almost threw up. This led me to the FDA website, where I learned…

how does this sound?
I hit a bit of a plateau this past month, so I'm switching up a few things.. * I'm trying to eat cleaner. ex: I switched my plain mini bagels for whole wheat mini bagels. I have a piece of toast in the morning with PB, and I'd been using Jif reduced fat, and I switched to natural PB. * I vary my cardio..I was a total…

Grrrrrrr :/
So frustrated!!! Somehow gained .5 this week, haven't had any loss since 10.23. I feel like I do everything right, I exercise every day & stay within my calories 95% of the time. The other 5% I may go over by a few 100 cals, nothing major. Now last week was challenging food-wise, I had some good news so ended up…

mtv true life
Anyone see True Life last night? It was 2 people who are addicted to exercise. Sometimes I feel like I am, because I hate taking a day off from the gym, but these people were legit addicted! It was actually kinda sad that their lives revolved around the gym!

gum
Soo, if I'm craving sweets, lately I've been having Extra Dessert Delights apple pie flavor. It's amazing. It can cure any craving for sweets :) That is all.

foot/ankle pain
I've been having this weird pain on the far right side of my right foot. It doesn't feel like muscle pain. I've had tendonitis & it also doesn't feel like that. I'm wondering if it could be a stress fracture? I don't run (do all other cardio), but I do workout quite a bit. Would this go away w/rest? I only did the…

such a weird response...
So, today my Facebook status was something along the lines of "down 15lbs!! off to Lululemon for some cute workout clothes so I can lose 15 more!" So this girl (not a close friend, more an acquaintance) writes, "15lbs since Labor Day?! Are you at the gym all day, or starving yourself, or both?" I wrote & said nope, I work…

too good to be true?
Sooo, i hadn't weighed myself since Thurs (big deal for me, i'm usually a daily weigher), and I was down 2LBS (!!!!!!) this morning. Is that possible? I'm so excited, yet wondering if it's too good to be true..

sodium help
Eeeks. My sodium today was 3500. How bad is this? My friend who is a nurse said it's making my retain water, hindering weight loss. What types of food have low sodium?? Also, I'm a vegetarian, so no meat suggestions please :)

7 days a week..
So, I'm currently unemployed (waiting for bar exam results, not being lazy cuz I don't want to work..) & have all the time in the world. So, I work out every day. I honestly don't want to take days off b/c I feel gross if I don't exercise (& I enjoy those extra calories!). I typically hit the gym at 9AM & do some cardio. I…

8,000 calorie burger?!
Ewww. Just watching the NBC nightly news and they're doing story on this (nasty) restaurant in Vegas. They dress up customers as patients, and anyone over 350lbs eats free?? Who the heck thought up this idea. Just what everyone needs, to gain 2lbs eating ONE burger. Yuck!

book suggestions?
Looking for some good new books to read...any suggestions/old faves?

I Used to Be Fat TV show..
watching last night's episode. I know this makes for good TV and all, it just seems so unhealthy & unrealistic. When this chick is working out w/trainer, they agree on a pound a day loss for 100 days, and thus she has to have 3500 a day deficit! Jeez you'd have to work out like all day to have that! I just hope young,…
