What the heck! I busted my butt and obsessively counted calories and exercised to lose 20 lbs for 1 year before wedding. I noticed a difference, but nothing drastic. Clothes fit better kinda thing. After the wedding I just wanted to stop obsessively counting calories and stressing over my weight. Well that added the weight…

Controlling post work out hunger
I've been doing really well exercising and sticking to it but my weight loss is stalling again because I'm just so hungry after. I usually have great will power, but after exercising I'm binging.

Weight lifting machines?
I've been toying with the idea of getting a gym membership. I do free weights at home, but i only have so much weight here. I was wondering if using those weight machines that target specific muscles are as effective as free weights?

Cheap online clothing store?
So I try on all my dresses and they used to fit like a glove and now they are all loose and I look terrible in them. Fantastic news as this proves I'm losing! Problem is I hate my wardrobe now. I HATE thrift store shopping. Is there any decent cheap online stores out there? Thanks!☺

I don't understand muscle loss while dieting
From my understanding, your body stores fat for energy. When you eat at a deficit your body uses your fat stores to sustain your energy. Why would your body use your muscle mass? This doesn't make sense to me. I thought the fat was the energy source not the muscle.

Giving up alcohol. Things to do as a replacement.
This may seem like a total no brainer, but what sort of things do you do for fun that don't revolve around alcohol. I've recently given it up and trying to find fun things to do in the evenings and weekends. I'm finding I'm getting bored quitting. I think all the booze I've consumed in my life rotted my brain to the point…

Have you tried a new thing?
I find as I age and I'm now beginning to put my kids in dance, swimming, ice skating etc. got me thinking. Has anyone tried anything new? I was thinking of trying a jujitsu class.

Loud car stereo next to house
Off topic from weight loss, but I'm at my wits end here. We bought our home in the spring and the backyard shares a fence with a public school. There's a playground and basketball court 10ft away from our house. We obviously expected park noise which isn't an issue at all. At night these stupid punks come and drive there…

Carbs at 56g today will that set me back?
I mistakenly munched on some chocolate chips and misread the label. I thought it said Carbs per cup, but it was tablespoon...oops. My daily goal is 20-30g per day, this is the first day I've gone over since starting about 6 days ago. I'm at 56g today. Could that ruin my ketosis? I will never eat chocolate chips again! Haha
