"Active" level goals question
Good morning all, I weighed in this morning and had a good weight loss week! Down 25 officially.

fasting question (not intermittent)
hey all! i know that juices, cleanses, detoxes, etc are all BS - the only way to lose weight is by burning more calories than i eat for sustainable, healthy weight loss. i also know long-term fasting isn't the best. however, i feel like starting off weight loss with a couple day fast (like 4 days) helps me to "reset" my…

I started with this cold and did a few yoga workouts and now I feel worse. I don't have a fever or any systematic symptoms much, stuffy head and lethargy mostly. I don't want to not do anything, I have finally gotten to a point that I am making some progress and I don't want to lose it now.

Mourning my Faves
Is that normal to mourn or be sad to cut something out. Not completely, but today at Fazolis, I opted for the backened chicken salad instead of the pasta version. I only ate a bite of breadstick.

To go back to strength training or not
When I started on my weight loss at the end of April, the first few months I did nothing but cardio and calorie counting. I lost weight but I was losing muscle also.

Goal settings
Did there not used to be a facility in wlr where you could put in 'date to lose weight by' and your rate of loss and it would tell you how much you would weigh by that day? I can't find it any more.
