When did people start noticing your weight loss?
I started out really big at 274lbs, so I know it'll be awhile before people notice... I've lost 17lbs so far which sounds decent, but hard to see. Just curious when people started to notice for others?

GOLO Recipes Only
I am seeing a lot of advertisements for GOLO. When I looked into it, it seems that it is a herbal pill you take 1 to 3 times a day (Not interested in these) and they give you low carb, low calorie healthy recipes to make on your own. Has anyone tried this diet? Are the recipes worth the cost of 1 month of pills? Are the…

Gastric volume/Stomach capacity
Any of you sciencey/researchy people aware of any study on the ability of a person to change the resting volume of their stomach. If I eat a high density maintenance-level amount of calories, perhaps in four or five meals per day, where each meal is very small volume, over an amount of time will the capacity of my stomach…

getting back on track
Hey all, I’m pretty down about this all right now but I’m here for motivation and help. For about 4 months I had been on a nice diet with daily exercise and I was loving it.

No results in 5 months...should I give up?
In these last 5 months I have tried almost every possible thing I could to lose these extra 10-15 pounds I gained last year.

Will weight loss stall when starting to exercise?
These first 2 months I worked on adjusting my eating and lowering calories. This week I began to introduce cardio (elliptical) starting at just 20min each evening. This morning I'm 1lb heavier. I know that weight fluctuates and all that, but I was wondering if I should expect a weight loss stall as I start making exercise…

Contradiction
Hello everyone. I can't understand something. When I look at my "nutrients" section it shows that I have a protein - 135 and goal 140 or carbohydrates total - 240 and goal - 256, or. This means that I still need to add protein and carbohydrates: But when I look at the "Calories Remaining" it shows that I have already eaten…

Break the black/white thinking
I've re-wrote this a few times because I tend to ramble and rant. I'm sorry for the length and thank you in advance for reading. I've done this rodeo before - lost 40 pounds through tracking macros and creating meticulous workout plans. But it all got too much. I was overdoing all of it. If I wasn't able to work out or eat…

How accurate are smart scales?
I just got a new scale which tells me a lot of data on my phone now. The body fat % and mass are scary (but I am dieting, so expected that), but my muscle mass percentage is 31.7%, which appears to be a little above the average range for a woman of 46 like me. I was wondering how accurate these are usually, as an estimate?…

100 calorie snacks
All the diet programs seem to list having 100 calorie snacks and have come out with all these Keto ones and named brand ones but the cost is really high for a package of 5 or 6. If you look around you can actually find snacks that cost around a dollar or less. Healthy set aside, even a rice krispie snack is less than 100…
