Need advice on diet plan!
Ok so last week I had a cheat day on Sunday, ate very clean (no processed foods, sweets, etc.) Monday thru Friday (with no cravings!) and figured I'd let myself cheat on Saturday. I ate within my calorie range the next day, but I noticed cravings starting to creep back in. I didn't eat clean (processed/fast food) even…

Will I ever get to wear a bikini?!
Ok so I've dropped a total of 175 lbs. between the births of my three children since 2003 - YAY! I'm now down to my lowest weight ever of 131 lbs. I've been working out consistently since January (both strength and cardio), but still find myself VERY jiggly and fat, especially the lower body. I know I'm a pear body shape…

Should I take a break?
Ok, so I've been counting calories since January. I've lost about 13 lbs. I haven't been 100% consistent with logging my food due to vacations, birthdays, and the like which has caused the weight to go up and down. Seeing this is very discouraging and it's really hard to get back on the wagon when it seems like I keep…

Having trouble with appetite at night!
I'm doing great breakfast, lunch, pm snack...but come dinner time, my dinner does fill me up, but then an hour later I'm getting hungry. I 'm trying to eat at least 75 g of protein during the day with all meals/snacks, but it doesn't help at dinner. I'm trying to stay under 1300 calories/day. Help!

Saddlebags and Thunder thighs at 129 lbs. :/
You guys, I'm SO frustrated. I've lost 44 lbs., down to 129 lbs. now. I'm 5'5", small-medium frame. I've completed T25 and 21 Day Fix programs and still have major fat and cellulite below the belt. My thinner areas up top look GREAT! Wish I could post a pic, but we've all seen what fat looks like. Is it all about losing…

Saddlebags and thunder thighs STILL @ 129 lbs. :/

Lose More Weight or Begin Strength Training?
Ok, so I just received the program "Body Beast" to begin strength training. I believe my body sorely needs some muscle because I got the sag going on. Bleh. So, here's my question: I'm down to 135 lbs. (I'm 31, 5'5"), but I've still got some fat on my lower abs (baby pooch), and quite a bit on the hips, butt, and thighs.…

Need 'serving size' clarity!
Ok, so I've found several recipes online that are healthy and low-cal. However, they list the calories in 'servings', but fail to list what the serving size is (i.e., cup, 1/2 cup, etc.). What do you do in this situation?

Is clean eating necessary for fat loss?
Ugh, I'm SO frustrated with my lower body. I'm 5'5", 135 lbs, but the lower part of me is so fat and dimply. I don't want to lose a ton of weight and become a stick - I like the size I am, just not the fat content. Anyway, some people say eat clean for fat loss, others say cardio, and still others say I need to add muscle…

OMG, why can't I lose anymore?!
Ok, so I got down to my original goal weight of 140/135ish. Apparently I still need to lose though because my lower half is still fighting the battle of the bulge. I keep getting hung up at this weight though, so I'm guessing I'm at my plateau. I've been eating 1200-1400 calories, exercising daily (about 30 minutes of…

Goal weight met - still fat?! HELP!
Hi everyone! I'm a 31yo female, 5'5", mom of three, and now down to my goal weight: 135 lbs. YAY! I thought for sure all my problems would be eliminated by the time I met this weight goal. I look great with clothes ON, but clothes off....wow, you would swear I was a different person. I cannot wear shorts, dresses, etc.…

More strength or cardio?
Hi all! I'm a 31yo female, 5'5", and currently 138 lbs. I think my weight might be a little heavy for my build though. I tried on some shorts today, and was gravely disappointed. My legs and butt are pitiful. Cellulite, gobs of fat, and a saggy saddle butt - not a pretty picture. Question: Do I need to up both strength AND…

Need help with weight loss!
Ok, so I've been using MFP on/off for years now. In the past, weight has come off if I adhere to around 1200ish calories/day. The same is not holding true since I got back on the diet train back in February. I weigh about 140, and have been eating anywhere from 1200-1400 calories/day, exercising at least 200 calories off…
