Women 5'10 to 6'0: What is your goal weight?
I'm almost 6'0 and just at the very beginning. While my first goal is to get under 200, which is about 70 lbs away, I'm curious to see what a healthy weight range is for someone who is around my height. I'm not interested in being skinny- just healthy and in shape. What's your height and goal weight?

Running every day?
I am running a 5k in the beginning of May and I am in my fourth week of the C25K program (Still only running on week two though). That program has you run only three times a week, and since running is currently my main form of exercise, I think I'd like to up that to 4-5 times a week. I think my body can handle it-- I'm…

What weight did you feel comfortable wearing a bikini at?
I have a lot to go still so there is not chance I'll be "done" by swimsuit season, but I am curious about when you all confidentially put on a bikini? I'm thinking about buying one for this summer whether or not I'm at my goal weight. :)

How many lbs had you lost before people mentioning it?
I'm so curious! I'm really tall so when I gain weight it's difficult to tell, but if I lose weight it's also hard to tell.

Should I combine C25K with cardio/strength exercises?
I just started my C25K program and I am looking for ways to get a workout in on the days that I'm not running. I don't have a membership to a gym, so I think I'm going to purchase a Jillian Michaels' DVD or two. My question is-- should I go with a more of a strength training exercise on the days I am not running, or should…

How do you get your water in?
I drink a TON of water by having my 32oz Nalgene bottle by my desk at work with a straw in it so I can sip while I work. I usually drink 1.5 bottles worth while at work and then consume (try to!) another bottle from the time I leave until the time I go to bed. What your tricks to get your water in? I heard someone say they…

Signed up for a 5K in May
Hello all! I just signed up for a 5K in May and I am so excited! I think this will help motivate me to work out and keep to a training schedule. My question to you is, is five months enough time for someone who is not a runner and also overweight to train for a 5K? I plan on doing the C25K program, but I'm wondering if…

Going over my sugar every day?
I don't eat any desserts or sugary drinks and tend to stay away from foods with added sugar, but I do have a lot of fruit in my protein shakes. My question is how many grams of sugar should a person eat in a day? Mine is set at 30 and I am ALWAYS going over. I am still losing so I'm not terribly worried at this point, but…

Where do you lose weight from first and last?
I'm only 12 pounds in this game, so I haven't noticed any big changes yet, but I noticed this week that my collarbone just popped outta nowhere! I would have to say that my neck/chest area is where I lose it first. I have no idea about where I lose weight from last, but if I'm anything like my mom, it will probably be my…

MFP gave me extra calories?
I updated my weight loss today and since I have now lost over 10 pounds, the app asked me if I wanted to update my daily calorie limit. I said yes and my calorie limit went from 1,510 calories a day to 1,660. Eating more calories to lose weight seems counterintuitive to me and I am hesitant to up my calorie intake by 150…

Thanksgiving gameplans?
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I'm trying to decide how I want to approach that holiday before it actually gets here. My plan is to still count my calories, eat in moderation, but not necessarily restrict myself to my normal 1,500 calorie diet. A month ago I decided I was not going to eat sugar for the rest of…

Second week weigh in---frustrating. :(
I just finished my first week on MFP and I've been logging EVERYTHING that I've put into my mouth, as well as walking 5 miles a day without adding that "exercise" into my daily calorie log. I'm only down 1.2 pounds-- I know that that's still a loss, but I thought it was going to be more. I am planning on weighing myself…

Hello new friends!
My name is Jennie, I am 22, 5'11 and just beginning my journey to lose 80 lbs (eventually it will be more, but my initial goal is to be under 200). I cut out all excess sugar and soda about two weeks ago and committed myself to writing down everything I consume, uhhh, yesterday. I walk about 5 miles a day and will be…

Adding your workouts to MFP?
I just wanted to crowd source real quick-- should I add my workouts to my MFP log? Right now my "workouts" are walking 5 miles a day (to and from work), so I don't really consider them serious calorie burners. When I add "walking 2.5 miles an hour" for 120 minutes, MFP gives me an extra 770 calories that I can eat and I…
