Gardening
What are they expecting with Gardening as an exercise? I imagine gardening as pruning flowers and picking weeds. Over the last..I dunno 2 months including yesterday and today, I've been lugging bags of soil and crates, digging holes and painting.. So, I don't know about putting in "Gardening" as an exercise.. that would be…

I hate eating out!
But i won't stop. Lol. More specifically, I hate logging restaurant calories because of the gross inaccuracy. I want Chipotle for dinner, but apparently there's an option for logging what i want to eat at approx 600, to a max of 890! I know some people are into putting in the higher rate, but should i just enter the 890…

Going to work on recomp..
I want to work on muscle building since I'm so close to my goal weight. Problem is, I'm not exactly sure what to do. Some things I've read up on says to eat at maintenance, weight train for approx 30 mins, and of course, eat less on days you don't train. My 1 question is how do I know what my maintenance calories are?

Alcohol and water
Been on vacation and did 2 to 3 days of overeating. The rest of the week has been at maintenance so far. So, Ive gained maybe 5 pounds from the excess food, but since I've also been drinking more alcohol than usual I know I can suffer from dehydration. I don't want to mistake that for water retention, so my question is:…

Convincing the Husband
I'm at the point in my weight loss now shere I know I can really benefit from a personal trainer. Why a personal trainer specifically? I have trouble motivating myself to start and keep going with a weight and high intensity work out. I dont have friends or family that I can bring to the gym with me (they're not interested…

Before or after?
Do you weight your food before or after you cook it? The weight differs so what's the right one?

I HATE Pizza!!
When I eat it, it's always from a local place so I never know many calories it is. I almost want to stop eating pizza all together because I hate the guess work involved with local pizzerias. How do you guys log local pizzas, if you eat it at all? I have the option to have pizza for dinner tonight, but I'm seriously…

Muscle Milk and sweet after taste.
I usually drink Muscle Milk as a powder, but when I do decide to drink those ready made refridgerated versions, I always get that gross artificial sugar taste in my mouth that lasts all day. It could be described as the taste you get from a Keto diet or sugar imbalance. I'm not on a keto diet and I dont4have diabetes, so…

Sleep -_-;
For some reason, I'm only able to sleep 4 hours at a time. I feel pretty well rested when I wake up but should I still go to the gym since I didnt get a full night of sleep? I would maybe get another hour of sleep afterwards.

Bugs!
Any resources for properly raising and preparing bugs for consumption? Nutrition research says "Bugs? Why not!" So, I would like to give it a try starting with mealworms since they're the easiest to start.

Tips for once a week binges - don't want it anymore
I've stayed steady at 177 for a while, but the reason why I'm not losing any more weight I believe is because of one or two days a week, I will eat ALL THE FOOD because..reasons. lol. At least I'm not gaining, but it is hindering my progress for loss. Any tips for "weening" away from these once a week binges? I thought if…

Tripping a lot
Lately, in the past few months, I've been tripping at least twice everyday with the ball of my right foot scraping the ground. I thought it was because of the weight loss and my body was trying to readjust, but surely I would have figured out walking by now. I'm starting to worry about injuring myself, especially since I…

CICO Quality and Hair Loss
I've read up on some people discussing hair loss with their dieting. I have not had any [noticeable] experience with this and wondered how others have had this happen. I wanted to know opinions regarding the quality of less calories and how it COULD potentially affect hair.

Hiking Food!!!
Planning a 12 mile hike in a few weeks. First one ever! Need a breakfast meal, dinner meal, and snacks for the hills. The only restriction I have is refined sugar - just limited amounts and, I have no food allergies. Would prefer to not exceed 1800cals IF possible. It may not be - I don't have a habit of eating back…

Chocolate bars
Anyone have a good chocolate bar they can suggest? I live in America and they all SUCK!! Well, not ALL of them.. I haven't eaten a chocolate bar in a while and everytime I try one, they make me gag. Had 2 bites of a 5th avenue bar today before throwing out the rest (couldn't find anyone who wanted it) When I think I want…

Freakin finally!
First goal get. Finally my digital scale (which reads 4 pounds heavier than my dial scales) says I weight 179. This has been over the past 3 days so I've managed to lose all the 65 pounds I set off to get rid of. I went from 245 at my heaviest. Next series of goals will occur in 20 pounds increments. 160 here I come!

Made a mistake. Crap!
I own two scales. For a majority of my weight loss, I've been using a dial scale at home. I recently bought a digital scale so I could measure BMI and all that jazz, but the digital scale says I'm about 4-6 lbs heavier. Now I don't know which one to believe. Did some research, and I'm lead to believe that the digital scale…

Eat ALL the carbs!!!
I notice my body goes through patterns where all I want to do is eat soft pretzel, candy and anything that's carb & sugar heavy. What's a good substitute to stave off this kind of craving when it comes and goes?
