My Success - In Progress
Hi all! I just wanted to post my short-term success. In January of this year I weighed 142 pounds (I am 5'5'' and 22 years old). In May I weighed somewhere between 130-135lbs. As of today, I weigh 124.6 lbs. :) Below is a photo of me from May to now (it is also my avatar). I'm so happy with my progress so far, and I can't…

Fellow Herbalife users- Have a question
Hi all! I've been using Herbalife for about a month now, and I really like it. Just out of curiosity, how do you make your shakes? Do you add in ice and just shake it, do you blend with ice, or do you just do the milk & shake mix? I used to always add ice and shake it, but I got tired of walking to another building for ice…

Booze
I decided to try and plan my Friday diary early this week, to see if I could avoid going over calories due to alcohol (like I do every weekend). I entered all my food, the ~100 calorie burn from a run, and an entire bottle of wine... and I've still got calories to add in! This means I get to have a pretty healthy day and…

Small victory :)
I had a miniature revelation today at work. There are tons of reflective windows at my office, which I pass by every single time I walk outside. Several months ago I would look into those mirrors to try and readjust my outfit to cover up any problem areas, and basically just be down on myself. I would think I was…

Calories burned at boot camp?
Hi all, I am going to be starting a boot camp class (60 mins long) which involves cardio intervals and strength training. At orientation we were told it could burn 600-800 cals per 60 min class. I went and looked at the MFP --> Aerobic High Intensity calories burned estimate, and it was around 380 per 60 mins (I'm 5'5''…

Trouble reaching min. calorie intake
Hey everyone! Sometimes I have trouble consuming 1,200 calories per day, especially on days that I work out. I'm finding that I'm not hungry enough to consume more food in order to hit that goal. I've still been losing weight, but I'm worried that I'll stop losing weight if I can't hit my goal more often. My diary is open-…

Quick/easy Stovetop Fish recipe
Hi everyone! I cooked fish last night for the first time, which was quite exciting since I am very new to this whole cooking thing (my ex did all of the cooking). Anyway, it's very simple, and I just wanted to share. Ingredients: -Fresh fish filet of choice -- I used Corvina. WAY high in protein! -Salt & Pepper -Seasonings…

Newbie (kind of)
Hello all! My name is Kylee and I'm 22 years old. About a 1.5 years ago I started using My Fitness Pal, but stopped due to a less-than-supportive home environment (my ex-husband was not willing to help me out with cooking, counting calories, portioning meals, etc). I am currently going through a divorce and want to make…

Need friends/support!
I need to find some people on MFB who will keep me accountable. Please add me if you'd like to help keep me motivated, and if you need extra support, too!

Any Arizonans?
Hi, all! Just joined MFP on a recommendation from a co-worker. We already have a support group at work for those of us participating in the weight loss challenge the company is hosting, but I figured a few friends on here couldn't hurt either. My plan is to utilize calorie counting in conjunction with a consistent exercise…
