I finally hit my goal, but...
Hi! After nearly 3 years of MFP and changing up my lifestyle, I finally hit my goal weight of 125. I started out at 142 lbs so I didn't really have that much to lose. However, I'm only 5' tall and 125 lbs doesn't look anything like I imagined it would. I'm still barely in the "healthy" BMI range and that is only by a…

NSV- I'm a runner!
Last night I completed my first 9 mile run. I'm well on my way to that goal of running a half marathon. Also, this morning one of my fellow coworkers who is an avid runner invited me to join her in January for the Disney marathon. A WHOLE marathon. I'm thinking about actually going for it! :)

Strength Training Question
I've been reading a lot about the benifits of strength training on here lately. I do not have a gym membership and I am one of those "cardio lovers." I run around 50 miles a month. I do it for more than weight loss. It eases stress, helps with my asthma, and some other things. After I run I also do about 20 minutes of…

NSV! The reward that I needed!
So, this is very small, but it made a huge difference in my attitude this morning! For the past 3 months or so I have been sitting at 129 lbs (I'm only 5' tall). I've had a crazy summer and haven't been able to give my body 100% of what it needs. Well, life has calmed down in the last couple of weeks so I've gotten back to…

Big Boned my Butt!!!
I'm so tired of people saying, "I'm just big boned!" You may have a larger or smaller frame, but "big boned" you are not. I have a friend who is an archeologist/ anthropologist and has seen many bones, and there is no such thing as being overweight because you are 'big boned." I get so annoyed when people use this as an…

Maintaining Weight when I should be Losing?
HI! I've been a member of MFP for around 2 years now (on and off). When I stick to the plan that MFP lays out for me, I always lose weight at the suggested rate. I log EVERYTHING just as I'm supposed to. Well, I've lost around 12 lbs over the last 2 years but now my body seems to be stuck. I'm still eating right,…

Anybody go into maintenance mode for sanity?!
Hi! So, I've been at this pretty consistently for about 2 years. I've very very slowly lost about 13 pounds over those 2 years. I'm 5' tall and 130 lbs, so I'm not obese or really even technically overweight, but I am a short little thing so I just know that I would feel better and look better weighing around 120 lbs. I'm…

So glad today is over!!!
Ok, so I had my first "big girl job" interview this morning and I think that it went pretty well. BUT, I have a lot of competition for the position so I'm super stressed out because I want/need this job so badly! So, after the interview I was so stressed out that I came home and sat on my couch allllll day and did…

Elliptical vs. Treadmill
I was just wondering if anyone knows why you burn so many calories on the elliptical when you feel like you aren't doing anything and you burn nearly the same and sometimes less on the treadmill and you are running yourself to death! Is there a reason for this?

Ugh!!! Round 2
So...I started MFP in March and was doing great! I don't have too much to lose (about 12 pounds) and I had lost about 7 lbs as of June. Well I graduated from college and my routine got all messed up and I no longer had a free gym and a strict schedule. So... I got all stressed out and started eating without thinking and…

Lady question...
Can upping your workouts for a couple of weeks delay your period? I was due to start on Monday (I'm usually on schedule) and today is Friday and there is no sign of it. I have been working out extra hard for the past 2 weeks and burning a ton of calories (trying to break a plataue) plus some extra strength training but my…

Eat often or on a schedule???
I've heard both. Some say that your body craves a stable diet. You should even out your calories between meals and eat around the same times everyday. Others say to eat several small meals throughout the day and to switch it up? What do I do? I usually eat a small breakfast lunch and dinner but I do have snacks throughout…

Then today...Easter...I decided that I wasn't going to worry about calories, I was just going to enjoy the time with my family and not…

They didn't even have a clue that I was trying to lose weight! I haven't told…

numbers
Hi! I have a few questions about numbers that I should be looking for. I understand how calories work but I'm not sure about what is too much sugar or sodium...or how much fiber I should be getting?...or does it differ with how much you weigh?..I'm just really not sure! Any suggestions? Thanks! Created by MyFitnessPal.com…
