2 weeks at this and no change. More details in post
I’ve been counting calories for about 2 weeks. Usually I give myself about 1500-1700 calories. I don’t think I can go lower. I’ve “behaved”.

Do you know what it feels like to to lose 55lbs and then gain it all back in the span of 2 years?
I used to feel like a winner. I felt beautiful, sexy, had gone down 6 sizes. Was being looked at more. I lost 55lbs and then little by little started going back to bad habits. Now I drink a bottle of wine a day, and eat whatever I want. Every single day I wake up and say to myself "okay, today is the day that I'm going to…

Having a super difficult time right now and need advice.
So I've gained back most of the weight I've lost. 40lbs to be exact. I feel like one day I have tons of willpower and confidence in myself, other days I go out and order multiple drinks appetizers and entrees. It's a rollercoaster for me and I'm sick of it. I can barely fit into my clothing and when I do I hate how I look.…

I have a question about my FitBit Surge Calories.
When I swipe left on my watch, I can see the time, steps I've taken, bpm, miles I've walked,and finally the calories I've burned. It is 10:27 in the morning currently and it is telling me I've burned 838 calories for the day so far. I've already consumed 400 calories today. Does this mean I can consume another 438 calories…
