Is it possible that "zero calorie" things add up?
In order to say zero calorie, it must be under 5. So let's say everything that says its zero calorie is around 4 calories. I drink 2 diet sodas a day, add one packet of sweetener to my oatmeal in the morning, 2 in my tea, and I drink 0 calorie monster a couple times a week. That's 24 calories a day and 168 a week. That's a…

Is this normal?
So as you can see by the charts, my weight loss slowed down A LOT and it seems like it's coming to a complete stop. In the past 2 weeks, my weight has gone up and down but I gained .2 pounds from 2 weeks ago. I have my calories set for losing 1.5 a week because it gives me 1200 calories, which I seem to be gaining on or at…

Eating around 3000 calories today
I'm 5'4 and 128 pounds (not anymore though, I guess lol). I've been losing weight for around 10 weeks now, lost around 10-12 pounds and haven't had a single week where I've overate. It's time of the month soon and I've been so hungry for 3 days now and I've been keeping it under control but it won today unfortunately. I…

Feel hungrier day after eating more?
I had 2100 calories yesterday and burned 200, it wasn't a "cheat" because I saved up calories all week to be able to have more on Saturday. I just woke up and I already feel so hungry, does this happen to anyone else? It's annoying because this is how one day of eating a lot of calories turns into 6 months. Does anyone…

Can't practice what I preach
I'm always telling people not to worry when they don't lose weight if it's been less than 3 weeks but now that it's me who isn't losing weight, it's really stressing me out. I haven't really lost much weight since the 13th, I was 130 then got down to 128.4 and now I'm back up to 130. I actually gained .2 since last week. I…

Do flavored k-cups have calories?
I'm thinking about buying the Dunkin Donuts chocolate glazed donut flavored k cups. When I scanned the barcode in store, it said 2 calories. Is that true? I read somewhere that the flavored ones have calories (as in a lot more than 2). Just want to make sure :) Thanks!

So who has tips for a nice booty?
I don't have access to a gym or weights right now, but I will in a month. I've done squats but never stuck with them long enough to see a difference. Do they even work if you're not using weights? Any other exercises? :)

5'4, ~140 pounds, 1200-1400 calories a day
Hey! If anybody is a similar height/weight as me and/or eats roughly 1200-1400 calories, feel free to add me! My diary is open. It's really motivating for me to see how all of you are progressing with your weight loss :)

Turkey burgers!
How do you make them? What do you put on them? This is my first time making them so I'm just curious how other people do it :) I read that you're supposed to mix an egg with ground turkey so that it doesn't fall apart. Is that necessary?

How do I log jumping on a trampoline?
I'm taking my brother to Sky Zone tomorrow (an indoor trampoline park type place) for an hour, so that would be maybe 45 minutes of jumping. How do I log that? Or does anyone know roughly how many calories it would burn? I'm 5'4 and 128 pounds :) Edit: I just used some calculator I found online and it says jumping on a…

What do you make with cauliflower?
I've heard of (and made) cauliflower pizza crust, and I've heard of cauliflower waffles and cauliflower mashed potatoes (which I plan on making soon). Seems like cauliflower has a ton of uses, what do you do with it?

The difference 10 pounds made for me
I'm not at my goal weight yet but I'm getting there. Although the picture says 150, I'm pretty sure I was 140 pounds in the before picture. 150 was my highest weight but I don't think I have any pictures from when I was 150 where I wasn't hiding under sweaters. :) I have 10 more pounds to go to reach my goal weight of 120!…

Do you gain weight after non fast days?
I already posted this in another 5:2 group but it's not very active so I thought I could ask here. Yesterday I had 600 calories and lost a pound. Obviously a pound in one day is crazy so I don't expect it to stay like that. I had around 1600 today, how much should I expect to gain back? I'm hoping for .7-.8 pounds back…

Logging chipotle?
So I've been logging everyday for 53 days and this is only my second time going out to eat (the first time I was celebrating something so I was just going to have a "cheat meal", but only ended up eating half so it worked out). I logged what I'm getting at chipotle, And put each thing in as 1 and 1/8 serving. Do you think…
-
Do you ever feel like you eat too much?
Sometimes I just get this feeling that I'm eating too much to be losing weight, even though I weigh and log everything and triple check my weekly calorie average and can clearly see that I'm not eating too much. Do you ever get that feeling or is it just me? I think for some reason I have the idea that in order to lose…

I have an (almost) obese brother & need advice!
First things first, I know that nobody on here is going to give dieting advice for a 11 year old kid. I'm not looking for dieting advice, but just help with what I can do to get through to my family. This is long, but here's just some background: My brother is 11 years old, 4'10 and 140 pounds. His BMI right now is 29.2…

Banking calories?
So I'm banking calories this week (600 yesterday, 1500 today, 900 tomorrow, 1500 Wednesday, 900 Thursday, 1800 Friday, 1200 Saturday) anyways, it averages out to be 1200 calories a day if I'm looking at Sunday-Saturday But if I look at Tuesday-Monday my calories average out to be like 1300 a day (since I don't eat 1200…

mL to grams for salad dressing?
I just bought lite salsa ranch salad dressing (the brand is litehouse) and the serving size says 30 mL. I know that 1 mL=1g of water, but this dressing is heavier than water and I'm not sure how to convert it to grams. The measuring cup I have starts at 150 mL. It says 2 tablespoons is 30 mL so I used tablespoons today but…

What can I do to manage 600 calories/day?
I am NOT starving myself, I'm trying Intermittent fasting (I think?) this week. So, I'm having 600 calories some days and 1900 on others. I just thought the title would get people's attention more lol So basically, if anyone has done intermittent fasting or 5:2 or something of the sorts, how do you deal with the low…
-
Do you weigh all prepackaged food?
Like every single thing? I don't weigh rice cakes, or granola bars, or ice cream bars. I mean, I do sometimes but usually I can't be bothered. The few times that I have, it was either a few grams under or a few (no more than 5) grams over. Nothing that would really make a difference. Machines in factories make them similar…
-
Does diet soda make you hungrier?
I've been drinking diet soda everyday for a couple days now and I feel a lot hungrier than usual the past couple days too. I like diet soda because it helps with sugar cravings for the time being but I obviously don't want to drink it if it makes it worse the next day. But also, I'm getting my period this Saturday so I'm…

Pasta Zero?
Has anyone ever tried it? I just bought it because it looked interesting even though it looks kind of gross at the same time lol. If you tried it, do you like it? Would it be good with tomato sauce?

500 cal one day, 1900 next, 500 next, 1900 next...
Has anyone ever done something like this? It would be like.. Sunday: 500 Monday: 1900 Tuesday: 500 Wednesday: 1900 Thursday: 500 Friday: 1900/2600 Saturday: 1200/500 Or some variation of that. That would equal 8400 for 7 days, or 1200 a day. I've been doing 1200/day for the past 6 weeks so I'm just trying to experiment to…

Is it even possible for ANYONE to be a size 0/1?
This might be a stupid question but is it possible to every person to get down to a very low size such as 0 or 1? (Obviously not counting those with medical conditions or anything like that). Last time I was a size 1 was 4 years ago when I was only 12 pounds lighter. Right now I'm a size 6 (same height). I'm starting to…

How does PMS affect YOUR weight?
I'm due to get my period in 3 days, usually I start gaining weight DURING my period so I'm not sure why I'm gaining it before now. It's annoying that I'm so close to being in the 120's and I feel like my period just pushed me back a week at least but at the same time I feel like I'm overreacting. Maybe hearing how PMS…

How do I add another category to my diary?
I'm not sure if this is in the right section, but how do I add another category to my diary? Is that even possible? I've seen people delete categories so I assume you can add one too. I have breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks but I would like to add another one.

Lightheaded/Loss of vision when I stand up?
Everytime I stand up, I get lightheaded and lose my vision for a couple seconds. I know this has to do with blood circulation or something like that and I did get it before I changed my diet (usually only in the morning if I stood up really fast) but now I've been getting it EVERYTIME I stand up. I go for 1200 calories a…

Do you ever feel like you look the same?
I'm 5'4 and 132 lbs (my starting weight being 150). Sometimes I feel skinnier but sometimes I feel like I look the exact same, which is discouraging. A lot of people have been telling me I lost weight, but I don't really see it (even in pictures). It makes me want to give up when I feel like I'm putting in so much effort…

How to lose weight without counting calories?
So I know that the most important thing when it comes to losing weight is CICO, and right now I count my calories and use a scale and everything. I won't be able to do that when I go back to college in the fall (I'm living on campus so I'm eating the food there. No access to a kitchen, and no food scale). How do I continue…
