Can you get rid of cellulite?
I am 5'6 and 140 lbs and it seems like I have always had a little cellulite on the back of my legs. I am 20 years old and haven't had kids yet, and even though I am trying to loose weight, I am not sure if I can ever get rid of the cellulite. I have super skinny friends who still have it and was wondering if anyone has…

I am a little nervous because it is my first race ever and I am not sure what to expect. I have been training over the past few months and feel good about it, but was just wondering if…

Why so much weight gain?
About two years ago I was at 128, and totally felt good about it. I weighed myself yesterday and I am at 145! I'm 5'5 and would really like to weigh less, so it's a bit disappointing. It seems I put on 1-2 lbs every time I weigh in... I have been eating fairly normal- not amazingly well but better than before, (probably…

How dishonest is the eliptical?
I know that people usually say that the machines are usually too high when they say how many calories you have burned...how much are they off? For every 30 minutes of intervals on the eliptical it says I am burning 280 calories. When I log it on MFP it seems high too. I weigh 138 and I'm 20...about how much am I actually…

Net Calories?
so I am still getting the hang of this whole thing, but I just have a few questions about the whole "earning back calories" thing. I love to run and I work out about 6 or 7 times a week and burn a lot of calories. I am 5'6, 145 lbs and set at 1200 calories per day, but I usually burn about 700-800 back with exercise. Can I…

Just Cardio?
Currently I work out six-seven times a week, and for each workout I do about 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of lifting (sometimes heavy lifting, sometimes more pilates-type stuff). I have been trying to loose weight, and yes I know weight loss depends more on what you eat than anything else, but I was just wondering…

Protein Powder for Weight Loss?
I was wondering if it is good to drink protein powder after a workout while trying to loose weight, or if it is usually just for building muscle. What are the benefits? Is protein powder usually high in calories or carbs? Is it worth it? Sorry, I'm new at this :)

How'd I gain all this?
About a year ago I weighed around 128. I went to the gym once or twice a week and didn't eat very well. Now, I am at 146, I eat a little better than I used to (still workin on it) and I work out 6 times a week. I don't feel like I look that much different, but stepping on the scale is always so shocking. Where did this…

Protein and weight Loss
I am trying to loose weight, but I am thinking that I should still drink protein. Is there a kind of "lean" protein/whey powder you'd recommend? And before anyone freaks out, I already know that protein doesn't make you lose weight.Just looking for recommendations.

Peanut Butter?
I LOVE peanut butter, and I know it has a good amount of protein, but it is loaded with calories. My natural jif has a whopping 190 calories in one serving (2 tablespoons). Is there any alternative out there that has less calories? Thanks!

Binge Eating help?
Lately I am having the HARDEST time not over-eating. It seems like any time I am at home, I go right for the kitchen and snack on everything I see. It happens a lot, even after I just got done eating a meal, so I know my body is not actually hungry. It is getting so hard, and is effecting me emotionally. I know that there…

Popcorn?
So, I am a huuuge sucker for microwave kettle corn. Today at the store I looked at the box, and one serving of it says it only has 30 calories in it. I am just a little bit shocked. I know it isn't a carrot and isn't healthy, but 30 calories really? Does anyone else snack on this?

Pre-workout?
lately I have been using Neon pre-wokout mix before my workouts. I feel like I have tons of energy and my workouts are great. I was just wondering if there is a catch to this? Is there any real health problems that come with this much caffeine? Do you drink pre-workout? Why or why not?

I am pretty sure that I'm addicted to anything with carbs. I love love love startchy foods like pasta, mashed potatoes, crackers, popcorn and pretzels.
