My friend linked this article on Facebook...
There's so much wrong here but my favorite line is about calories being units of energy/heat so if heat made you gain weight, everyone in the southern hemisphere would be obese

I've been eating a ton and gained 10# but...
I've also been dabbling in weight training. These are half assed results, I'd like to see what it looked like giving my all. Collage photo is from November, red bikini from this morning. From 130 to 140. I'm looking to keep my strength gains while cutting some body fat now.

Sick of trying to lose the last 8 lbs, hello maintenance!
So I'm totally over trying to lose my last few pounds. I've been "dieting" and calorie counting since high school. I turn 30 on Thursday. I have been playing with maintenance and I think I'm ready to just stick it out and do a recomp. I don't believe in "set" weights really, but I've been around 128 for most of my adult…

Deadlift question.
We have fixed weight barbells at my gym. I've been using them to work up to weight plates. I deadlifted 90# tonight, but only twice. Should I do 90# again in a few days or drop to 80# for 5 reps?

Sumo dumbbell squats vs barbell
I prefer the feel of sumo dumbbell squats. Should I be trying to like barbell squats? I'm not 100% comfortable with the bar on my back.

Help? Asics shoe size.
I normally wear a 7.5 women's. What size wrestling shoe should I get? I know the men's conversion, but are they true to size?

Only dumb bells
My employer offers us use of a free gym. As far as weight training, there are a few pieces of machinery, but for free weights there are only dumb bells. How can I get the most use out of these if I want to start here doing progressive lifting?

Coping mechanisms.
I've always had terrible coping mechanisms. In may I gave birth to my 3rd child under 5 years of age and she also has health problems. Not quite 6m yet and has already had an open heart surgery and her next surgery is planned for 2 weeks. I obviously can't exercise whenever I want , and the stress is really getting to me…

Weighed my frozen dinner...

Mental block or.."panic" weight.
I have reached the same weight over and over, 125# and I automatically think I can not lose anymore and I somehow mentally backslide back up to 130-135 and repeat. I'm completely on game until I see that weight and something snaps and I start going over my calories.... Idk, it's all mental and o can't shake it.

Favorite kettlebell?
Looking for an affordable, preferably dipped handle (not metal), kettlebell. I'd like a 40-50 lb one just to use around the house or at work on break. Do I need to spend 100+ $$?

Saddlebags
I KNOW you can't spot reduce, but ... can I spot reduce my saddlebags? I know, I know the answer and I can't stop wanting to fight it. I'm feeling really good, but they just don't seem to want to leave. #byefelicia And the app won't let me add a picture. Great.

Help! Still have weight to lose. Can I start lifting?
Should I stick to body weight and dumbbell squats and stuff while I still have about 15 lbs to lose and then start a recomp, or should I start now? I still need to eat at a deficit, so can I start a program while on one? I know muscle gains can't be made in a deficit so I'm confused what to do.

I currently have two children ages 4 and 2, and I'm 14w with #3. I had finally lost all of my pregnancy gain (i gained 50 lbs of not baby while pregnant), and now I am sad/scared to be gaining again. I have been trying to stay at a reasonable calorie goal (maintenance+ a few), but I've been consistently going over. I don't…

Never again..
I bought light and fit yogurt today because it was in a nice 8 pack. Never again. It tastes so bad. I like my full fat milk greek yogurt. Must suffer through these 8 packs! On another note, never weighed yogurt from a single cup before and it was supposed to be 150/g and was only 132/g. Hurrah!

Ok I don't normally do this but... my BUTT!
I have been casually doing body weight squats and low weight deadlifts and stuff for about 7 months. I was wondering if m ybutt looked any different, and you can totally tell that it's raised more and defined, so are my thighs!! I thought it looked different, but thought I could just be imagining it. Purple undies from…
