Surprised at Society
I am still surprised (note: this does not apply to those that go under their cals and have acctually put in an effort to lose weight and are conscious of this...just don't want to offend anyone) at how much society relies on food and drinks.

target calories and gaining weight?
Every time i seem to go over my calories (1290) i put on weight - even if its only by 100 - i seem to gain weight. Then when i do stick at 1290 i only maintain weight rather than losing. I dont want to lower my calories because of the whole 'starvation mode' thing. It was suggested that i try lowering my carbs (or cutting…

What is "eating exercise calories"?
I have been reading alot about eating your exercise calories. I am relatively new to this, and I want to know exactly what that means and how to do it. Also, is it really neccessary to count calories so strictly? What is more important to focus on, what you eat or how much you eat? I am a mother of a 2 yr old and a 4 yr…

Measuring your Metabolism?
Has anyone ever used a program like New Leaf to have their personal metabolism measured? The only metabolism measurement I've ever done has been by the equations used based on "averages."

Exercising vs. Calories
I hope I word this so it makes sense. I have been wondering this for awhile. Do you exercise base on what you know you are going to eat, or do you eat based on how many calories you burn? For example, You are on a 1400 calorie plan. If you plan your menu and know you will eat 1700 calories, do you only workout until you…

Calories Left
I still have 545 calories left for the day. I thought about having a slice of wheat bread, with some peanut butter on it. I am planning to go to sleep very soon. Should I have this or just let the calories go? I am not that hungry, so I'd be okay with not eating anything.

I need some advice. I have hit a plateau and I've been there for about 3 weeks now. I have added a strength training DVD to my workouts, but I am still doing some cardio too.
