Frustrated and Confused
I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or advice for me based on difficulties I'm having with calorie limits and weight loss. Here's the background: - 5'2", male, very small frame and low metabolism - desk job, but I do everything (errands, etc.) on foot - 3x week morning exercise (15 minutes cardio, 15 minutes bodyweight…

Staying Full?
Not a question on my own behalf, but on my partner's (as I do all the cooking in our household). He's currently on 1500 calories a day (and is temporarily banned from exercise, meaning that he can't increase that number).

Here's what I'm doing: - eating 1,000 calories a day (plus most, but not all, exercise calories - and yes, this is doctor-approved) - weighing and measuring all…

Is it me or is it my body?
My partner and I are on very low (but totally doable) calorie limits per day. We've been losing weight on those limits: I'm down about 22 lbs and he's down about 33 lbs since the start of the year. I have about 5 lbs to lose to hit my goal, and he has about 10 lbs to go. However, for the past six weeks or so, we haven't…
