Hitting my calorie goal and exercising but still not losing weight
Been on a 1600 calorie diet each day. Most days I meet the goal or go under. Rarely do I go over 1600 calories. I exercise 3-5 times a week (my work schedule permitting) and I still haven’t lost any weight. I haven’t gained any either but I need to lose 15 more pounds and I have only lost 2 the entire 45 days I’ve been…

Seeking hiking boots that are cushy like sneakers
It's too cold for my comfy sneakers, which have mesh. I figured it was time to retire my old hiking boots, which are too clunky anyway. But all the boots I've tried on are hard as rocks. Suggestions for more comfortable hiking boots? I want them to be waterproof and over the ankle, as I plan to wear them in light snow. My…

Retuning Member
I was well on my way in hitting my goal weight. Then COVID 19 entered the World! I was walking 16,000 steps a day and going to the gym 3 times a day. Now I joined again because I miss the encouragement of the people who are in the same place. Trying to live a better and a healthier life!

Tracking Calories & Exercise
I am new to tracking calories/macros and am looking to lose weight. According to the calculator, I should be eating 1300 calories per day. Does anyone know if I can eat more if I exercise and burn 300 calories or should I still stick to 1300 calories of food + exercise? Thank you!

Losing with your partner
I have finally reached one of my first weight loss goals reaching the 100 pounds lost mark. I strongly believe that my weight loss journey over the past 10 years has been impacted by the ability to be on the same page with my husband when it comes to eating and exercise habits. But now we are empty nesters and in the past…

My son is 15 years old, 6'7" and 305 lbs. He really wants to tryout for wrestling this winter but the highest weight class is 275.

Need advice. Not enough calories?
I'm having an issue with not eating enough calories on my active days (I think). I'm not seeing a lot of progress and I know not eating enough can be counterproductive. Any advice from women in their late 40's would be helpful as well. I'm thinking my age might be an issue as well. Thanks!

Eating cutoff times
The last primary care physician I saw a year ago recommended that I not eat past 6pm. I know of course eating just before bed is definitely not recommended, but I don’t want to be hungry either. Has this guideline ever worked for anyone? How did you maintain it and still feel satisfied at the end of the day? Thanks.
