Random weight gain?
I was doing incredibly well actually. I had made it down to 181.6 which was less than 2 pound from my goal for between June and September. However, in the past two days I have been exercising, eating well, and drinking a ton of water, but I gained 4 pounds? And I'm not sure what the reason would be. The only differences…

Thoughts on FitBit?
I want to invest in a tracker for my steps and when I'm doing fitness. The most popular one I see at BestBuy is a FitBit tracker. Next week, starting on Wednesday I will be going back to sitting at a desk all day. I only get up and walk around every few hours, and I only take a 30 minute lunch break. But I will be able to…

What are good fat burning exercises?
One of my biggest problem when it comes to weight loss, is that I am incredibly lazy. I don't workout for very long. I start, break into a sweat, and then decide I want to give up. I heard HIIT workouts are great for fat loss, but I'm not sure what kind of exercises HIIT are. Right now all I'm doing is jogging daily, which…

How do I make sure I lose fat and not muscle?
I've only been on a diet for 2 weeks, and I've only lost 7 pounds. So I haven't lost much. But I haven't seen a single difference, and the internet said I could be losing muscle. And if I am losing muscle I could gain more fat when I get off my diet. I don't want to gain more fat, and I definitely don't want to lose…

What should I do if I've eaten too much?
We went out to dinner, and I don't know exactly how much I ate, but I'm sure it had to have been over my calorie goal. We went out for Chinese, and it was loaded with sodium. I tried drinking a ton of water too, but when I was done I felt so full and bloated and uncomfortable. I can't go outside right now since it is…

Birthday is coming up
My birthday is around the corner. It's in August, and I'm quite nervous actually. I'm having a little get together with friends. We're going to get some pizza, and a cake and ice cream. We're also going to get some bad foods like some cookies and chips. It's a recipe for disaster. I still have 70 pounds to lose, and I'm…

I think I'm losing weight too quickly
i am glad to be losing weight, I still want to lose about 65 pounds. However, i weigh in daily and lose weight. I lose anywhere from half a pound to a pound from when I weigh in the morning to the next day I weigh in. I read that half a pound up to two pounds is safe weight loss. But I'm losing two pounds easily in two…

Can a change in diet cause sleeplessness?
lately I haven't been able to sleep right. I go to bed at about 9:00 but can't fall asleep til around 1:00 or 2:00. And then it causes me to sleep in extremely late. In some cases up until noon. Could this be from a change in diet? I've had a really hard time sleeping these past few days which is when I really began to get…

Is it possible for ANYONE to become thin?
my definition of thin is probably different than yours. However I feel like I can't get thin. I'm 186.5lbs and I'm 5'2. I wear a size 14 in jeans. I want to be 120lbs or so, and I want to wear around a size 4. But is it even possible for me to get that thin? I know I can lose my belly and fat from my legs. But evrrytime I…

How important is BMR?
i just learned the difference between BMR and TDEE. Oops. But I read that if I don't eat my BMR that I could stop breathing and my heart could stop beating. Is this true? I'm trying to lose 70 pounds and I made my calorie goal 1,200. Sometimes I'm over that. But my BMR is approximately 1,600. Do I need to eat at least…
-
Can someone explain the numbers?
i didn't know how to word the question, my apologies. But I was checking to see how much my BMR was and how much I would need to lose weight. My BMR is approximately 1,605 calories/day. I would need to eat 2,097 calories/day to maintain my weight. If I eat only 1,200 I have a deficit of 897. Is 897 important? Say, I go a…

Does your skin sag after you lose weight?
pardon the strange question. Also I'm not sure if this is in the right category I didn't know where to put it. But one of my biggest fears is to have sagging skin when I lose weight. Does that happen? I plan on going from 190 pounds to around 120. Is that enough weight to cause skin sagging? How can I prevent skin sagging?

I can't stop eating?
I ALWAYS tell my self that I'm going to diet and I want to get really serious about it. Can manage to slip in some exercise during the day but that's not enough if I'm eating junk foods. I always tell myself to avoid foods because they're salty or unhealthy or sugary. But then I go into the kitchen to fill my water bottle,…
