Sodium
Seriously? I keep going over my sodium intake suggestion. I don't go over my fat or my calories ever, but the sodium is kicking my butt. I'm really struggling with this and need some advice. Just as a side note, I'm not eating tv dinners.

How Did You Find This Web Site?
As we are all too aware, sometimes our plans change in a way we were unable to foresee. More personally, I joined a paying web site run by an "exercise guru." Within a very short time, I could see that this site wasn't for me. I wasn't motivated by it, felt the exercises weren't really what I wanted to do, etc. But then…

Argh...
So I feel like I wasted the entire month of October. I have been working out faithfully nearly every day (walking, elliptical, weights, situps...) since the beginning of August. I am also usually at or under my allotted calories for the day, and am still not losing the amount of weight I would like. At least not as fast as…

A cheat meal...
So I haven't been doing this for even a week yet but I think I have been doing good. I have worked out 4 days in a row. Two of those days I got up at 4:45am so I could get my workout in before work.

Help understanding the food aspect. . .
Hello all. I'm currently working with a trainer at my gym. He has me eating 1300 calories a day, getting my protein over 100 and keeping my carbs under 100. So I've been doing this and everything is all fine. We work out 3 times a week together for 45 minutes. Before we work out I warm up for 20 minutes on the treadmill. 2…

Weight that's gained quickly?
We've all heard that you're supposed to lose weight slowly because it's more likely to stay off permanently rather than come off temporarily and go right back on as soon as you're "diet" is over. So, does that mean that weight that's gained quickly is more likely to come off quickly, too? Just wondering if anyone knows?…

I feel really sad now
Usually, I am pretty good with my diet. I want to eat things that are good for me that give me fuel. But a lot of times I feel deprived and also want something sweet. Well I found out, that under the right conditions, apparently I just snap and binge a whole lot! So it started with a bad choice I made on Wednesday to go…

Idea for Thanksgiving (Yes, I know, it's early)
I was thinking about making Thanksgiving less about the food this year. Yes, it's supposed to be about giving thanks, which it is, but most of us really also make it about the food. If we didn't have those awesome meals, the holiday might feel really different. What I'm thinking of doing, so that the food isn't such a huge…
