Making yourself eat when you just aren't hungry?
I usually have an appetite like a line backer. A week ago I came down with the flu, i was really sick. No GI issues, but despite that, I have had no appetite for 8 days now.

Low Vitamin D and stubborn weight.
Hi all. As i've posted before, I have had the hardest time getting the scale to budge. I thought it was just me not doing enough,or maybe it was my thyroid (I've been hypo for 19 years).

how do you meal plan?
Do you use an app that comes up with your meals? Make your own? Did you meet with a dietitian? Poor eating habits are my downfall, as I am quite active.

Hi! I'm new and looking for support and motivation!
Hi! I'm 31 and mom to a 2 (almost 3) year old. I have been a little heavier then I would like most of my adult life, but since I had my daughter, I can't quite get a handle on it. I'm not proud of myself due to my size. The crazy thing is, due to my small frame, I still wear a clothing size 4/small, but I look so heavy…
