Short Ladies
Are there any ladies among the forums, 5 ft 3 in or under? If so, what calorie intake are you losing on? I'm only 4 ft 11 in and I'm finding that the calorie intake for someone my size is like nil compared to what other's get per day to either maintain or lose weight. My boyfriend is 5 ft 8 in and I'm jealous of his daily…

My Own Worst Critic
So, is it wrong that I struggled making this video ( http://youtu.be/kJsc4XkmluI) because I didn't like seeing myself in the clips? I thought it would take me a half hour...maybe 2 hours tops to say the lines I'd written out. To my shock it took me TWO DAYS. I didn't like how I sounded. I didn't like the wording I chose. I…

USDA's ''MyPlate''
The new USDA's MyPlate (http://http://www.choosemyplate.gov/)? I like it! What do you guys think of the new site? I love how they changed meat to protein to open the door for vegetarians and such. :happy: Article: Out with the Pyramid, In with the Plate: What You Need to Know about USDA's ''MyPlate -->…

Taking the Plunge!
I've only lost 0.2 of a lb since the 16th of June. While I upped my calories for a few days I got scared and moved them back to the 500 calorie deficit. After reading this (http://fitnesswithnatalie.blogspot.com/2011/05/most-dreaded-word-in-weight-loss.html), I'm going to go ahead and take the plunge for the next two weeks…

Shorty Running Speeds
So I'm 4 feet 11 inches. Short. Really short. When I run or jog on a treadmill the person next to me can be going the exact same speed. But my legs are having to move twice as fast to keep up. It drives me crazy. I'm shooting for a 5K at 5mph (can do it at 4.3 mph). But that's pathetically slow. A few weeks ago I was…

Since using it earlier I feel 100% more confident about my new more individualized weight loss goal. I've…

The Difference in 3 Months: Before & After pics
I'm wearing the exact same outfit in each pic. Shortly after the first pic I started w/ the 30 Day Shred workout (though it was more of an every other day venture) and then quickly added in the Couch to 5K jogging simultaneously (while giving myself the built in 500 calories deficit each day of course). I also rocked the…

Vegetarians Are Just Better People
"Don't eat meat! You'll lose weight. It's healthier for you." :explode: "Meat is a must and is a natural part of one's diet. It provides key nutriets, etc." :mad: The vegetarian argument always makes me think of this scene: http://youtu.be/vqqGZBRBLcM :laugh:

Is my new HR watch junk??? LoL.
Today I purchased an SportLine S7 Heart Rate Watch. Using it to count my calories burned it said I burned 358 calories doing my week 3 C25K workout. The treadmill read that I did 200 calories burned. Which am I supposed to believe? The watch takes my age and sex into consideration. The Treadmill uses no other variables…

MyFitnessPal Member of 3 Weeks
I've joined MyFitnessPal on the 3rd - originally as a way to keep track of what I'm eating via my phone. I love the free android app. Anyway, I've been here 3 weeks and have only lost 2 lbs so far. I've lowered my calorie intake and have started working out everyday. My boyfriend has joined me so we support each other. I…
