Shortie Success Story!
I don't think that many people will read this, but I've been meaning to make a post about this for a while, and I figured, maybe it's finally time to write something motivational after being depressed and feeling ugly these past few days. Even though I'm embarrassed by how I looked before, I'm going to take a chance and…

A Sad NSV
All the cute sweaters I have are too big for me now! I have no winter tops that fit me nicely anymore :sad: I actually have a noticeable waistline now but my large sweaters make me look bigger than I am. I'm trying to resist the urge to go out and buy new clothes since I'm just going to have to replace them again. Maybe…

Polar FT7 Not Working
Hello, My new Polar FT7 just came in the mail today. I was getting ready to try it before my tennis lesson, but it's not picking up my heartbeat at all! I wet the straps as the instructions said. Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? I was really excited to try it, but now I'm very disappointed :(

A Recipe For Honey & Greek Yogurt Parfait?
Hello! I really enjoy Starbucks's Honey & Greek Yogurt Parfait, especially because it's the same amount of calories as my typical breakfast anyway (300 calories). Does anyone have a good duplicate recipe for it? The ones I've seen online so far all contain berries which I'm not a huge fan of. I'm thinking about…

1200 Net Calories?
Hello, After using the BMR calculator on MPF, it determined that I need 1255 calories a day so even if I eat the minimum of 1200 with no exercise, it pretty much amounts to a minuscule weight loss. With that said, is it really that bad for me not to reach 1200 net calories then? For example, I burned 925 calories (I would…

Do I Need to Eat My TDEE - 25% When I Don't Exercise?
Hello, I just learned all about TDEE and decided to break out of the 1200 net calories per day mentality (I would always net way under this amount on exercise days and as a result, my weight loss seems to have stalled these last two weeks). I set my activity level to 3-5 hours of moderate activity a week so my TDEE is 2167…

Scales
I went and got a digital scale today... It turns out my old scale was off by 5-6 pounds! This is quite depressing. At least it doesn't change how much I lost tho :/

I Feel Bad If I Don't Have a Calorie Deficit
Does anyone else have this problem? I know that eating too little will slow down your metabolism, but I feel really unhappy with myself if I don't see that I have a calorie deficit from the minimum 1200 calories. At 4 feet 10 and 126 pounds (my goal is 100-110), I really don't need a lot of calories to begin with so even…

Getting Stuck?
Hello everyone~ I'm pretty new to the forums so please don't be too mean LOL. Although I don't think I've hit a plateau yet, I am really worried that I will be hitting one soon! I'm very a short Asian girl (4 feet 10 inches) so my weight of 129 is definitely not healthy (I started at 140, almost obese!). When my mom was…

Having A "Cheat" Meal & Saving Calories?
Hello everyone, I made an account last month when I was just starting to get into exercising regularly but I didn't keep up with my food diary/exercise log or the forums AT ALL. Now that I've maintained my exercising and diet pretty well, I thought it'd be a good time to get into the habit of using this website, especially…
