Finding Balance
Hello, I recently got married and I started thinking about how badly I want to be more healthy so that I can spend as much time as possible with my beautiful wife. I’ve had success at losing weight in the past (50 lbs in 2 months) but the measures I took to the lose the weight we’re too extreme. I was being monitored by…

Eating Out of Conveniance
My personal trainer introduced me to leg day yesterday and it drained me completely. I didn't have the energy to get out of bed before I work another 8-10 hours on my feet all day. I normally pack a lunch but I don't have time now, is it bad to eat out of Conveniance or am I safe if I stay within my range

Energy Drinks
I'm craving an energy drink. If I have one that's zero calories will I gain weight? I know it's probably bad for me in some other way but I want one.

Creating a Plan
I recently reached a weight that I'm happy with and would like to create a workout plan to make my arms bigger / more toned and the rest of my body more toned as well (I'm happy with everything but my upper body.) My personal trainer has said that now would be a good time to start lifting heavy but this was over casual…

Sodium
How much is too much Sodium? Can you reverse the effects of Sodium by drinking more water? (In other words if my sodium is high and I drink more water will that cause me to retain less water?)

Slowing Down Weightloss
So I've been losing an average of 6lbs a week (despite my 2lbs goal) and I'm nearing the point where I want to slow down my weight loss so I can transition more easily into maintaining the weight I've lost. Approximately how many calories should I add so that I continue to lose, but at a slower rate? Can I add as many as I…

Colonoscopies and Weightloss
I'm having a colonoscopy done in less than 2 weeks (on the day I weigh in) - I was wondering if the procedure / prep would mess up my weigh in that Wednesday? Will I see abnormal loss? Gain? I know it will eventually even itself out if I do I'm just trying to mentally prepare myself for being disappointed.

Jell-o
Hey guys! So I found this Jell-o at the grocery store and I thought I'd try it to crave my sweet tooth. I wanted to know if anyone else had tried it before and if it's decent to include in my diet (I mean, there's basically no nutrition I'm talking psychologically good.) I do get sweets from a lot of fruits but I don't…

Muscle vs. Fat
So I read somewhere that muscle weighs more than fat. 1lb of muscle burns 6 calories to 1lb of fat. So does that mean MFP estimates for calories could be significantly off if you are significantly more muscular than fat? I ask this because I was only about 10lbs overweight according to my measurements and weight and people…

Low Carb Diet
I motivated a friend of mine to start losing weight after they saw the success that I had, and they asked me what kind of diet I was on. Personally, I eat what I want, when I want, I just pay really close attention to my portion sizes. He was curious about low carb diets as we als have a few friends within our social group…

Eggs - Mmm Mmm Good
I love eggs, I have about 5 large eggs a day and I like to change up the way I eat them. Today I got a little experimental, I made eggs with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and topped it off with sriracha sauce. Oh, My, Bajeebus was it ever delicious. I have eggs with salsa, different vegetables but damn this was freaking…

How to Stay Away from the Scale
Hey folks! I'm a scale junky, I'm obsessed. I've been doing superb on my weight loss journey and so I've been checking the scale almost daily. I've learned a lot from checking the scale so frequently and it's never discouraged me. But I fear the day that I gain weight despite my hardest efforts is coming near and I want to…

Smaller Than Before
So I was looking back at photos from 3 years ago when I weighed 200lbs and decided to do something about it. In those 3 years I managed to get down to 160 and maintain that weight for a couple of years. I gained it all back in a year. Now that I'm back at 200 I took another picture. Damn my waist is much smaller than last…

Too Much Water?
I've been reading online you can drink too much water. I want to reach 7 L (2 gallons) today. Is that going to kill me if I drink that much once? I'm just trying to get into the habit of drinking more water. Figured if I start out high and slowly cut it will become super easy.

Protein Bars
I was wondering if anyone knew of any good protein bars and where I could buy it then? The gas station across from my work sells them at about 2.25 a pop and they really get me through my day. I always have one before going to the gym and days that I'm lifting. It'd be really awesome if I could buy a pack for myself and…
