Weighing vs. Measuring
I just want to point out that having cups and spoons in your diary doesn't mean that you don't weigh. Having package meals in your diary does not mean you don't weigh. Having serving sizes in your diary does not mean you don't weigh. I weight everything I eat (minus probably one item a week) but I still use the other…

Eating when sick
Anyone out there eat when they're sick/have a headache? I don't know why, but when my body doesn't feel good I try to medicate it with food.

Wearing tight / smaller clothes to lose weight
Anyone buy/wear clothes that are tight to lose weight? I read this somewhere. It said that if you wear clothes that feel small it will keep weight loss in your mind. I do this with my work uniform. It's snug enough that it makes me make better choices during the day. I've went through three uniform sizes this year. Because…

Carbs vs. Net Carbs
I'm eating these protein bars that say "Only 5g Net Carbs". Then on the back they say "Carbohydrates 24g, Fiber 19g". For logging, do I use the 24 or the 5 for Carbs?

Military (or law enforcement) women
Any women in the military or law enforcement professions and working on their weight/fitness? I've had two kids in the four years that I've been active duty and in trying to lose that weight and a few more pounds (for a total of about 40 pounds). I don't have anyone to talk to about the struggle.

I found the culprit!!
I've been measuring my foods for a while now (on a scale), but my scale is a dial scale so I thought I would get more precise and buy a digital one. I was so excited yesterday when it came in that I was measuring everything I had. (Even packaged meals, and they were like 10 grams over what the package said they should be!)…

Helping Friends?
Hello all! I have a friend that is really trying to lose weight. She "eats clean" and works out A LOT but she hasn't lost any weight in months. I tried telling her to weigh her food and make sure she's eating the right calories, but she says she doesn't need to. She eats however much of fruits and veggies that she wants. I…

Overeat yesterday, undereat today?
Everyone, when you go over one day, do you take away from what you can have the next (or next few)? For example, I ate 780 more than I should have yesterday (1980 vs. 1200). Would you take that 780 off today, a fraction of it off multiple days, or just have it be a bad day and continue life like normal? All input is…

Intermittent Fasting - Time of Day
I'm starting 16:8 intermittent fasting today and I've been looking up tons of threads on the subject but I can't find anyone who is doing something similar to me. I workout first thing in the morning (around 0330 or 0530 for an hour) and I eat after my workouts. I plan on breaking my fast at this time. That would make my…

I ate all my lunch at 0700.
This morning, I woke up, had a cup of coffee, sewed my husband's uniform, had a bowl of yogurt, and went to work at 0500. I decided that it was a good idea to look up some food ideas for my son's 3rd birthday on Pinterest. Before I knew it, I was eating my lunch at 0700 - 4 hours before I intended to eat it. I then…
