Starving
Hi everyone, I was just talking to one of the trainers in my gym and she was telling me that when a person is in a caloric deficit, they should be hungry and starving. That’s how they know your metabolism is working hard. I totally disagree with that. I think of a person is on a diet and they are constantly starving.…

Dieting with obstacles
Hey, so I ditched the alcohol July 1st. I'm overeating. I'm also on mental health meds that I cannot do without.... I do not buy my own food all the time. Mom bought groceries this week. It's about what's cheapest. I do, however, buy from the vending machine at work sometimes and once a week on payday at the gas station. I…

I am obsessed
Hello everyone I have had a terrible experience with food. I grew up as a Mexican and the plate should be empty when I eat food. But I saw people don’t eat because they are hungry they eat because they need to. I think it’s a good idea. I need to implement it.

I lost 60 lbs before using this app and I remember getting into a good routine, but I can’t remember how long it took to reach that point. I maintained my weight loss before for a few years but after a baby and 2 out of state moves,…

Healing Plantar Fasciitis
Hi! Anybody here suffered from Plantar Fasciitis and gotten rid of it? I would assume that mine probably came from a cross of wearing bad footwear, being super active and overweight. I have lost 25 lbs and haven’t noticed any improvement. I have also started wearing better shoes and haven’t been active because I broke my…

What is the best way to create healthy meals?
I have a very busy schedule so not a whole lot of time to myself and when I do, I'm at the gym. My trainers say I need a high protein, less cholesterol diet. I can not seem to find a good, free way to explore foods that are healthy, quick and effective.

Counting
I think everyone who has tried to lose weight, like me, has counted everything they can think of. Points, food groups, carbs, reps, pounds, minutes etc etc etc I'm 62 years old and do you know I have never counted calories!
