Post Binge Regrets
I worked for 3 months to lose 12 lbs.. I didn't notice a difference fast enough, I felt frumpy at a friend's birthday, and then my grandma died. I've been on a 3 week binge ... and I gained it all back. I'm never going to lose the weight, I will always want cheese cake. I honestly just don't want to continue living in this…

Water Only Fast
I know we're told we need at least 1200 calories per day. However, a close relative will be doing a fast and I would like to join in solidarity. It's 1 week, water all day, but can have one light meal in the evenings.. Would this be harmful to weighloss, short term?

So discouraged..
I gained 2lbs this week. I have a scale that measures water weight and there was no increase there... I'm so discouraged. I don't have a wearable pedometer but I use my phone at the track.

While jogging my calf, on one side, gets visibly larger, tight, and hard. The other side is fine, but my ankle/achilles is very…

Carbs...are still carbs?
I've started eating a ton of vegetables over the last week. I found a farmers market and got a lot of celery, cucumbers, zucchini, carrots, and apples. Instead of chips and a sandwich, I have a sandwich with carrots and cucumbers. I was under the impression that eating low calorie fresh foods would surely be a path to…

Baby Wearing, Calories Burned
Hello, I'm curious if baby wearing has much effect on calories burned? For example, If I walked 2 miles in 35 minutes with a 25lb child strapped to me, how would I calculate the calories burned? I walk with my child and I also bike with him. Both take significantly more effort, in particular because it's hot.

Topamax
Hello, I just started taking topamax again. I have history of blood clots, migranes, and allergies to medications. First week of a full dose and I've had minimum side effects. Reading online I see that many have lost a lot of weight taking this, too. I'd prefer to be spared horror stories as I am very limited with things I…
