Will I lose my shape as I lose weight?
Last year I went from 280 lbs to 230 lbs and during that time my torso got smaller and I noticed I have a feminine pear shape that I like. When I was heavier my waist was bigger so either I didn’t have it or I just never noticed it before. As I keep losing weight will this shape disappear? Because I quite like it and I…

How to answer questions about why I'm not eating certain things?
Okay so my one friend and I usually get dinner once a week, during the week. She isn't available on weekends because of work, and that's when I treat myself. So when we eat together I have to watch what I order because it's a week night. So usually she'll ask why I'm not getting a drink like she is, or a meal that has more…

Calorie counting
I use this app for calorie counting and it used to work but I stopped losing weight a while ago and I want to keep losing. Is counting calories the most important thing? Because if I focus on eating more protein and less sugar for example the calorie count may go up. Is it a big deal?

Sore thighs
At work on Tuesday I had to learn how to restrain people but I don't feel like I had a work out, I used my arms legs and knees a little. But ever since then my thighs are sore, it's difficult to use the stairs and even sit on a toilet. Basically there's pain in my thighs whenever I bend my knees. Even driving hurts with…

How to deal with judgement?
I lost 50lbs over the past year and most people have been supportive and happy for me but there is someone in my family who still asks if I'm still dieting and exercising, especially on my cheat days like he'll see me eating something bad and ask. This person is skinny and eats whatever they want so it just feels…

Pear or hourglass?
I measured myself with a tape measure, I guess this is like a circumference measure. My waist is 16 inches smaller than my hips and 4 inches smaller than my bust. Am I pear shape?

Weight lifting question
As I lose weight in other parts of my body I notice my upper arms are super flabby. All I've been doing is cardio. If I lift 5 lb weights, would that help?
-
That's all you're eating?
This is a common question I get from friends... Yes that's all I'm eating. Over eating isn't going to help me reach my goals, smaller portions fill me up now as my body has gotten used to it. I don't think there is anything wrong with eating soup and salad for dinner, as opposed to soup and large entree full of carbs and…

Is it me or does skim milk taste watery sometimes?
I've always been on the bigger side so I've been drinking skim milk since I was a young kid, the pediatrician told my mom I should drink skim instead of whole because it had too much fat that I didn't need. My skinny sister drinks regular and we both think the other milk tastes weird. Anyway so I'm not a stranger to skim…

What motivates you to lose weight?
Some things that motivate me are: I want to love my body and I want to love how I look. I want to wear a bikini one day. I want to be healthy and not get diabetes. I want to be seen by the opposite sex as a person, not a fat fetish. I want to feel comfortable being desired by the opposite sex when dating. I want to be…

Something weird happened!
I weigh myself every Wednesday morning. The past few weeks I've been losing, once in a while I gain or stay the same. Over the weekend I had a dream that I weighed myself and I gained a pound, I remember the exact number on the scale was a pound more than my last weigh in. But since it was just a dream I thought I was just…

Ladies what do you do differently during TOM?
All I wanna do is eat chocolate, cheese, and carbs and not work out at all and be lazy. I try to work some of those foods into my calories for the day and I force myself to work out anyway. What about you?

What to do when someone calls you fat?
I like to have political arguments on Facebook, but some people are really childish about it. So this one woman I was talking to, just randomly started talking about how fat I looked in my pictures, and how I should be eating instead of talking to her. I know that's not supposed to bother me but it does. I guess some…

Does anyone else have this foot issue?
I'm not sure if this is related to my weight but I'm still curious. My heals always get bothered by new shoes. Every time I break in an new pair my heals are all cut up. Blisters that sting like hell when I first shower after getting them, they also bleed then eventually become a scab. My pinky toes also get blisters. The…

I hope I'm not the only woman who experiences this frustration!
I've lost weight but I haven't lost it in the most important part yet, my belly. But I've lost it overall because my pant size has gone down from a 26 to 20 since last spring. So I was getting some new pants and I realized the most annoying thing when trying them on. I have a pudgy belly, so the pants that fit my belly…

Feeling sick after eating sweets?
I used to eat sweets all the time and I loved them back when I was gaining weight. Now that I'm losing weight I eat it once in a while as a treat. Usually I try to go over my calories a few days a week and stay under the other days because it helps me lose weight. So yesterday was an over day so I was looking for something…

Still feeling hungry?
I eat the correct portions and low calories and I'm still hungry after meals. I even get hungry way before I'm supposed to have my next meal. But if I eat more I won't lose weight. I don't know what to do.

Ladies help me, I need motivation to work out while having cramps!
It's so difficult to work out when I just wanna lay down because I don't feel good! How do you ladies do it?

Exercise addiction
I've been a lazy couch potato all my life but when I started working out daily, it seemed like at first I was forcing myself to do it but now I want to do it. I never thought that would happen to be honest. I guess my body likes it? Now if only I can stop being that way towards food... Lol.

How to not get jealous of other people's success?
Someone I know has gotten a weight loss surgery and they are losing weight really fast without really trying. And although I am trying my weight loss is going slower because I didn't have any surgery done. I know it's normal but sometimes it discourages me, even though I know it shouldn't because everyone's body is…

Women problems
Ladies, how do you deal with dieting during those times when you're extra hungry and feel bloated and don't want to work out because you feel like crap and you want to eat comfort food and chocolate?

I only lose weight when I go over my calorie limit, I don't understand?
I've eaten bad my entire life and as a result gained a lot of weight. I started eating better and exercising and lost a lot of water weight in the beginning. Now it seems that on the weeks where I cheat, I lose a few pounds. But on the weeks where I eat really well, I don't lose anything. I'm really confused. When I see my…

Healthy vitals while obese?
I had an exam at the doctors a few weeks ago and everything about me was fine. Normal heart rate, lungs, blood pressure. The only thing wrong was my weight and bmi. I was surprised that my weight hasn't affected other organs yet, I guess I'm lucky and it's an even better reason to keep on losing weight to prevent future…

Overweight but healthy?
At the doctors I found out my heart and lungs and blood pressure were all normal. But I'm overweight with a high bmi, am I just lucky? It definitely gives me a reason to keep losing weight to keep myself healthy, I'm just surprised the results were that good. I thought I would at least have high blood pressure.

How to get a flat tummy?
I've had a pudgy belly since I was 5. I don't think genetics will naturally slim out my belly when I lose weight because of my body type. I have a feminine pear/hourglass shape but I'm also kind of apple shaped because of my belly. That's where I have a lot of body fat and gain the easiest there. I look like I'm pregnant…
