pounds per week question
I was looking at my goals page and I had chosen to do the aggressive weight loss (2 pounds per week), but on the next page where it gives my summary, it says I will only be losing 1.3 pounds per week....how come it won't let me lose the 2 pounds a week? Do you have to be a certain weight in order to do that?

calories for men vs. women
I'm slightly confused....my girlfriend and I are using this website together at the 2 lbs/week weight loss, but my daily calorie intake is 1290 and hers is 1200. I would think I should have a lot more calories than her because men burn usually burn more calories than women do (and I'm only about 25 pounds heavier than she…

How do you handle friends who are much heavier?
I am 5'3" and weigh 150 pounds. My best adult weight is around 125-128, so I have substantial pounds to lose. A good friend, who is also diabetic by the way, is 5'2" and weighs close to 200 pounds.

Overshooting Daily Protein Intake
So I've been logging in daily food intake on this website the last few weeks (an awsome website and can't beleive it's free!) but I notice I'm consistently overshooting my protein intake even though I'm meeting my net calories for the day, and I'm usually way under in carbs and fats... Is this something I should put effort…

Are you losing weight for yourself or someone else?
I thought about this because, yes, I do want to lose 20 pounds for me, but also I know my husband wants me to. He's very nice and says nothing, but I know he can't help but notice my weight gain. I mean, the man sees me "nekid". I started wondering if I were single would I be as focused on it? I don't think so, really. Not…

Caloric Intake -- 1200 net cal/day for everyone?
I'm new to this and... confused. According to the BMR calculations I should be consuming approx. 1600 calories, which I'd burn if I were just resting. So burning 400 calories at the gym leaves 1200 net calories (1600-400) and I should not eat more than that (1600). But on days off from the gym I should only eat 1200…

I think I've hit rock bottom
Like an alcoholic, sometimes you have to hit rock bottom with your weight problem before you take real action. I think I've hit that. I got on the scale this morning and am at the highest weight of my life- 153 pounds. I am a 5'3" woman, so this is very high for me. When I got married 4 years ago I weighed 128 and felt…

How many times a day/how often do you eat?

My family has a lot of overweight people in it, but I notice with my Uncles and Aunts, their fat is soft and pliable. Not to sound disrespectful, but they jiggle when they move. Myself, I have packed this weight mainly in…
