Question for those who are, or who have been pregnant?
So I adjusted my calorie goals so I would be eating 1950 a day which is totally fine because I'm about 45 pounds overweight right now. I'm 18 weeks pregnant and have gained 18 pounds even while watching the food intake. Midwife says I should only gain about 25 pounds this pregnancy and according to her, the biggest weight…

Gallon of water a day?
Has anyone seen some bonus in their life from doing this? Ir doesn't seem to impact my weight loss but it has helped with my skin and energy levels. And morning breath lol. Anyone else have any good results? Or bad results? I've been doing this for almost a month and I'm thinking about going back down to the 8 glasses.

Logging dried spices?
I have never logged dried spices like garlic powder, curry powder, black pepper, cayenne, red pepper, etc but I got curious today and logged my seasonings for my eggs and it tacked on over forty calories. Do you log these? Is it even worth it? I don't even measure my seasonings so it'll be eyeballing it anyways and I'm not…

Getting back on track after the Holidays?
I told myself I wasn't going to lose myself over the holidays, but I had a 2 week house selling/moving thing, and like 3 Thanksgivings to attend and 3 Christmas's and overall I gained 14 pounds. Which isn't that bad in my opinion for a span of 3 months. I'm just having trouble jumping back on. I wasn't exercising during…

Does sodium actually matter?
I've read conflicting studies everywhere, but today im at 3300 total but I also drink a gallon of water a day.... Idk.... Is this really that bad? I just really like salt lol

Cheat day/meal? Do or do not?
Me and my bf were talking and he thinks I should give myself a cheat day (nothing dramatic, just not going over 2000) Idk though, I've never done that before, I usually give myself an extra 50 calories 2 days a week or a special dinner once a week where I can eat something I've been wanting that's too high to fit into my…

Food addiction
Do you believe it's real? Why or why not? I'm talking addiction in the sense that you can't control it and it hinders your life. Like beyond emotional eating.

Am I active or lightly active?
From 8:30-4:00 about 5-6 days a week I do housekeeping. Generally no A/C so I'm sweating like a mofo and i have to move equipment, climb, bend, etc. I'm usually beat when I get home.

Quitting smoking
So today has been alright. But its day 1 without a cigarette and I got through work really well, went and got my daughter and she's 2.5 so that can probably tell you a lot about what her behaviour looks like. She's just very resistant to direction and usually is pretty resistant to going out and doing things, crafts,…

How many carbs, protein, fat, calcium, etc
I've been googling and I can't seem to find the answer to this because I get bombarded with macro and calories calculators. What I want to know is how do scientists know how much of each macro we need? Or micro? If scientists know how much of what we need on a daily basis then can it still be healthy for those who change…

Your fondest memory?
Just something you look back on, anything, that still gives you a warm feeling and makes you smile every once in a while. Mine is probably the birth of my child and when me and my husband walked for 12 hours to leave our old life behind. We just got fed up with everything and in the middle of the night in winter we packed…

Diet fails on weekend?
My husband is a truck driver and when he comes home on the weekends I really mess my diet up big time, while during the week I do really really well. I know its not his fault at all but its like he comes home and eats entire pizzas, piles of doughnuts, chugs more than a two liter a day of soda and of course my weakness ice…

feeding my two year old??
I know this may not fall into this website very well, but I need to know how to feed my 2 year old and get her to actually eat her food. She used to eat everything and then she started daycare. I don't want to completely blame Daycare but that's when it started. They don't allow you to bring a lunch for your child and they…

Not losing weight? 6 weeks?
I have been dieting and exercising for 6 weeks now. I took one week off to visit family and actually lost weight while I was there (which makes zero sense if you saw how much and what I was eating) but the other five weeks I have diligently been logging even on the days I went over and consistently working out at least…

Was I really sugar free?
Today my log says I ate 22g sugar. The sugar came from mushrooms, green beans, carrots, cottage cheese, and two grams came from a protein bar but it was xylitol or something like that. I'm trying to go sugar free so did I actually succeed today? Fruit is different than regular sugar right? Btw I'm not low carbing it.

TurboFire
I am pretty much set on this program but I would like to hear your experiences and thoughts on the program. What was the food and eating like? I know you workout 6 days a week but how long are the workouts? Anything else? Did you do this multiple times? What were your results and how close did you stick to it?

How much protein is too much protein?
I recently started cutting out breads, pastas, candies, cookies, pop, etc because I realized that my compulsive overeating was being majorly triggered by them. Now I can hit almost 200g a day of protein since I stopped veganism. Idk if I want to eat high protein but now my sugar and overeating cravings are practically…

taking a week off exercise before starting a program?
K so I'm a little PO'd at my family. They're having one last get together next week before my mom moves out of state and of course they tell me today which is less than a week in advance...ugh....anyways I'm pretty much destined to eat crappy food and I'm going to be so hungry next week but worst of all, I can't exercise.…

almost scared to be skinny?
I know this might sound weird or stupid but it's a little intimidating for me right now. Not the process, but the result. It's easy for me to say that I would wear a bikini, but part of me feels that I still wouldn't. And when people are nice or guys flirt it's going to be hard for me not to be resentful thinking that it…

are protein bars bad?
Okay so I've been eating 2 little protein bars a day because they're really helping me stay within my calories and I'm actually staying full which is a weird occurrence for me. Is this bad? Feel free to check out my diary.

Are the calories burned wrong?
It says I'm burning 800 calories by doing 60 minutes of circuit training but idk if I believe that. I'm 5'10" and 229 lbs,

Metabolism vs Calories
If metabolism is real, then why is calories in and calories out even a thing? How can someone have a better metabolism than someone else of the same height and gender, body farm etc but they need the same amount of calories and same amount of calories burned to lose the same amount of weight?

How do you log a workout video?
I usually only workout using youtube videos from lack of equipment or a gym membership. Plus its a lot more fun and motivating for me if I'm constantly moving and dripping with sweat when its done and over with. So sometimes I use Jillian Michaels or Tiffany Rothe or something but I don't know how to log it. Should I just…

Sore for no good reason?
I haven't worked out in a while and I started the workout on youtube. It was a beginners workout thing and literally it was just the thing where you spread your legs apart and then you bend over and touch your right hand to your left foot, then you bend back up and then do the other side. I'm 5'10" and 225 lbs so I'm not…
