Have I been eating at "maintenance" all along?
Again, my stats: I'm 46, 5'4", 164lbs. Wanting to lose 30 lbs. I've been tracking and eating at a deficit for 25 days (26 today). I've had a physical with blood work and all levels are within normal range. Blood pressure is normal and I have an "athletic heart" according to the doc. Just wish body matched that description…

Just like lots of others...
I could use some guidance. I've been here before & tried the same ol' thing. I know, it's the definition of insanity... But I'm trying to understand the science of it and finish what I've started instead of being a failure again. I'm 46 years old. I'm 5'4" and weigh 165. My goal is to lose 30 lbs. over the next 6 months. I…

Why am I experiencing no weight loss at all?
I'm frustrated. Still no weight loss... gained another half a pound. I haven't weighed myself in about a week so maybe I could be "surprised" by some weight loss after the past week and a half. I was waiting because I've been working out harder and knew that I might experience some weight gain due to muscle repair/water…

Feeling frustrated & defeated with my progress
I started MFP the week before Christmas, so I've been here for about a month. I did really well in tracking my food and began working out at the gym again.

The holidays and sickness threw me OFF!
AGH! My kids got sick (the FLU) over the holidays. I caught it and also got pneumonia. And we all know that when you're a Mom, you don't get any sick days :( Then the hubs starts to feel bad. Great. So I'm taking care of a 13 yr. old and a 5 yr. old, both with fevers, and my hubby all while being sick with the flu &…

Took a kickboxing class tonite!
I took my first kickboxing class at the Y tonite. It was HARD. Everyone else was in hella shape and had been taking the class for a while. I felt really out of my element but I did it. I think I might wait until I lose a little bit more weight before I try it again. I'm more of a yoga/Pilates/ballet type gal ;)

How would you count Pump It Up on your fitness calculator?
Hi all! I went to an inflatable jumpy place this morning with my daughter. I jumped, climbed, bounced, etc. for about an hour. How would I count that in my fitness calculator Thanks!

Doing this... Again.
Hello. I'm new here but not new to this journey. I'm 10 lbs. heavier than the last time I attempted to lose weight. I'm frustrated and angry. I have a hard time losing weight and almost never see much in the way of results for all of my efforts so I lose my motivation. But I'm going to try again.
