Am I helping my plateau?
Hey guys! I recently read somewhere on here that when you hit a plateau, an attempt to fake out your metabolism is to just have one day where you eat anything you want and then after that you eat healthy/clean for a week or 2. Well, coming from a girl who is set at 1200 but rarely eats all 1200 (nor does she eat the…

Carrying over calories (plus or minus)
Hi, I have read the posts about eating all or most of your excercise calories. I cannot really do that because i do intense excercise with my trianer on some days and lighter on other days. I don't want to eat all those extra foods on the intense days so I have been carrying over most but not all of the excess to the next…

"water weight"
I am having a hard time grasping "water weight". Is it true that the first 15 lbs or so is water weight? I don't really understand this concept, or why you lose water (unless you have a fluid imbalance). Seems weird. Any way for you to explain this to me? Does it mean that I am not really losing weight and I will just gain…

4 lb. gain in one week - why?
Hello, I am new to posting here. I realize that I don't know a whole heck of a lot about this stuff, and it's killing me!

I can only make it to the gym about once per week, but…

Remember: THE SCALE LIES
Don't get to obsessed in what the scale say's pay attention to how your clothes are fitting. Back a few years ago @ %2 bodyfat I weighed in at 160 (and i'm verticaly challenged) I think the rule is every 1Lb of muscle is = to like 2 or 3 lbs lbs of fat. The scale helps true but if your excersizing and not loosing the…

Setting up weight loss goals
I'm trying to set up long term weight loss goals for myself. I have 90 lbs to lose to get to a healthy BMI. Do you think it is realistic to do so in 18 months (5 lbs per month), or am I just setting myself up for disappointment thinking this far ahead? Any input would be appreciated.

therapist - binge eating
This is a long post and maybe I should put it into a blog -- thank you for listening.... Binge eating.

Natural vs Processed sugar?
Hi there, I am doing a cleanse with just fruit and vegetables, and nuts all week and I can see that my sugar is going to be way high because of all the fruit. I have read a few places not to worry about sugars in natural foods but to worry more about the sugars in processed or un natural foods. Any thoughts on this? A…

Can not enough sleep slow weight loss?
My kids and I are all sick, so between being up half the night coughing myself and then up with them, I have gotten at the most 4 hours of sleep the past 3 nights. I was told not to do any high cardio because of my chest cold possible turning into pneumonia, so I have been resting and staying under my calorie goal. I…

Why??? Free Days??? Why???
I've been on this weight loss journey for a little over a year now... I've been "yo-yoing" on the idea of "free days." Why should an individual have a free day??? Well, maybe it's a way of rewarding that individual??? Maybe, it's a way of taking a break from eating so healthy??? I have no idea... But there is pro's and…

plateaus
Hi, I am pretty sure I have hit a plateau ( my weight loss is slow so it took awhile to figure out) The thing is I don't really want to change what I am doing. I average 1600 cals a day, walk the dogs for 30 min and get on the spinner for 30 min. I don't really see this as a diet as I still enjoy food and don't burn out…

Reducing Exercise and Plateau
Have any of you busted through a plateau by reducing cardio and focusing on fundamental muscle training (rebuilding large groups and doing twice a week with a steady increase). I'm trying this starting this week to see if this will help. I've been at a loss for a couple of months and thought I would give this a whirl.
