Dealing with Guilt
Hi Everyone! So this morning my boss brought in these adorable mini donuts...and I tried to have self control but failed and had 2. So instead of the planned mini bagels I ended up with mini donuts.

Late Nights
Hi Everyone! I'm going to be starting a part time job soon on top of my full time job and one thing I am concerned about is dinner. I cook every night but with this job there will be a 2-3 days where I cant cook. Not sure what to do about dinner. And this may sound crazy but my boyfriend is the worst in the kitchen so I'm…

Am I consuming too many calories??
I think I tend to have a lot of calories each day but I also exercise a lot each day. For example, Today my food will total 2000 calories but I've also burned over 1200 from exercise so it still makes me 400 under my calorie goal. Does this sound okay? Or am I eating too much even though I'm still under on calories?

Here we go again!
And I'm back!! A lot of changes in the last couple years: 1. First off, I lost 45 pounds my first time around the weight loss merry go round...which was about 2 years ago. 2. Doing well and then my uncle suddenly died in a helicopter crash (I don't have a dad so he was pretty much as close as it got). No longer cared and…

Polar Watch Quitting
Hello! So I've had my Polar watch for around 2 years now and it has recently started acting crazy. At first it would just turn off so I replaced the battery. Wonderful...worked again.

Is my heart rate too high?
Hello, So I've been doing this weight loss thing for about a year now and exercising longer than that so its not like I'm new to movement but I am concerned about my heart rate a little. I have a Polar HRM and when I run it stays around a steady 195 unless I run up hills which it'll then go higher than that. Now if I get…

Heard something very stupid...just curious what everyone thinks...
Today a coworker told me that a physical therapist, nutritionist, and doctor told him that it is impossible to lose weight around where your waist unless you dont wear underwear while you workout...because the underwear holds in the fat in place... It was very hard not to laugh. Also swears that you should get those wrap…

2000 calories for women too much?
http://www.bikinibodyguides.com/kayla-itsines-review/ I read this review mainly because I wanted to see what she thought. She's pretty accurate but she said that a woman needs at least 2000 calories a day without any kind of exercise. More if you do exercise. Does anyone else think thats a lot? Im eating around 1400-1500…

Losing weight too fast...
Hello, I've lost 17 pounds in 48 days. My grandma swears that I am going to fast and that I am going about this in an unhealthy way but I disagree. I work out, I get adequate amounts of food, I even have cheat days. You could look at my diary if you'd like. Any opinions?
