5'2" women w/ a goal of 110-115. Lets motivate each other!
I am having a distorted view of myself lately, and would like some motivation. People have been saying Oh youre skinny, eat more. But I look in the mirror and compare my body to other women with similar stats as me and I am still disheartened with my abs area. <--pic of me @ 117. Honestly, I don't want to lose anymore…
5 lbs of muscle vs 5 lbs of fat PICTURE!
just to have an image of the phrase "muscle weighs more than fat"
LOVING TURBOFIRE! Share me your results!
I am loving TurboFire's HIIT workouts. Its so much fun! I will start once I get resistance bands and HR monitor. Which is better? Polar FT4 or FT7? And what resistance bands do you recommend? 10 lb ones or 20?
30DS Calendar Two levels per day. Do you think I will get th
So Ive created a calendar for 30DS. I alternate it with 2 days of cardio and two levels at a time. It is still 10 days per each level. Do you think I will get the same results?
My boyfriend doesn't want me to lose any more weight.
So my bf thinks I am getting "bony" I am only 5'2" and 117 lbs. It is around 21-22ish BMI, perfectly healthy but I would like to get down to 110. He said to stop it and gain more weight. He said I am too crazy that I even count olive oil in my diary. He said I am on the road to an eating disorder. He said he loved my body…
LOST 20 LBS WITH PICS!
I started my journey back in April at 140 lbs. Now I'm 120 lbs! It was a long journey and I wish to keep going. MFP really helped a lot with my eating habits and gave me reason to improve my overall health. As a registered nurse, I want to be a role model for my patients and be strong enough to attend to their needs. I am…
THANK GOD MY SCALE RAN OUT OF BATTERY!!
IT IS A SIGN! I have been gaining and losing the same 1-2 lbs for the month of August and its getting so frustrating. Ive been eating 1200 calories net and eating at least 75% of my calories back. Doing strength training for about 4 weeks now and I even incorporated 2x of bikram yoga this week and plyometrics. I am sick of…
HELP! Will Insanity tone me? (PIC HEAVY)
I am currently 120 lbs and 5'2". I just want to build muscle and lose overall body fat. I still have that little bulge in my lower abdomen which I want to disappear! Will Insanity work or should I stick to JM videos with heavier weights? I heard insanity involves alot of cardio and not much strength training. Input is…
DRESS NSV!
I bought a size 4 dress from H&M and it didnt really fit and i couldnt close the buttons in the bust area. Even tho the scale hasnt moved that much since I bought the dress.. IT FITS! I am so happy cuz I'll be able to wear it to my vacation in two weeks :drinker:
Calorie count versus macros
Okay Ive been looking at things closely for the last week now and have finally seen success in the scale. How? I looked at my macros instead of calorie count. Today for example, it said I only had 1156 calories but my macros were carb 158/ protein 70/ fat 39 so (158+70) x 4 + 39 x 9 = 1263 That is 63 calories over my goal…
HOW MANY CALORIES in ONE LOAF of Italian bread
I mean the whole entire thing. http://mountainside-diversified.com/images/medium/ItalianBread/100Loaves/ItalianBread1LoafLS_MED.jpg I cut it up into 7 slices and I dont know the calories for 1 slice. MFP is giving different numbers on slices.
All About Artificial Sweeteners
http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/nutrition_articles.asp?id=289 What caught my attention: So how much artificial sweetener can an adult safely consume each day, according to these ADIs established by the FDA? Here's an example: To reach the ADI for aspartame (which is 50 mg/kg body weight per day), a 150-pound adult…
Jealous of people with pear shaped bodies..
I truly believe I am an apple. Current measurements are 36-28-34. My weight is all on my chest and stomach. Girls with the same height and weight as me that have a pear shaped body looks so much more feminine with their curves.. I would be contented with my current weight if I had that shape; tiny waist, rounder hips. Then…
How do people burn 1k cals?
I see so much posts burning tremendous amounts of calories in like 60-80 minutes worth of cardio when I only have 400 calories max burned. I simply cannot complete a 60 minute workout without running out of gas. I usually just stop at either the 30 or 40 minute mark. I also read somewhere that its bad to do cardio…
For people with less than 10 lbs to lose and are around 5'3"
What is your caloric intake and your exercise routine? I seem to have hit a plateau for the past 3 weeks and I don't know how to tackle it. Is it still possible to lose 1 lb a week or I have to up my calories to 1/2 lb a week weight loss?
Scale is moving again after a 2-3 week plateau!!
Ok it didnt move that much just 0.4 lb. I had to step in 3 times to check if it was accurate. During the past week, Ive been reading how to break the plateau and took some advice from here. I ate more for 4 days. I set it at 1/2 loss for two days and ate my maintenance calories for the other two. Then yesterday, I ate 1200…

12 lbs down. I want to get toned abs! i can see them hiding in like 2-3 layers of abdominal fat lol
Losing too fast
After I reached 130, with my 1200 net cal/day.. I started losing 2 lbs a week.. and now I check my weight and I lost 2.6. I don't want to put in the extra .6 yet. I'll confirm in the next 3 days if it keeps going down or stays the same. Keep in mind that I just finished TTOM. I stopped going to the gym once I reached…

Losing weight but not inches?
I seem to see a lot of people have the opposite problem. Am I only losing water weight? From 145 to 130.. My waist only lost 1 inch. Getting frustrated. I keep thinking 10 more lbs maybe and I will see better results.. but what if I dont? Every week I weigh myself and I find myself losing 1-1.5 lbs but I dont see it in the…
Eating exercise calories. Yes or No?
I have been googling my *kitten* off to find out if I should eat my exercise calories or not. I've been steadily losing 1.5 lbs/week for the past 2 months with 1200 calories/day with 1-3x a week cardio, 2x a week weight training. Sometimes, I eat it back sometimes, I dont. But I just want a real solid answer. I can't…
