For those who gained it back
Can you share what happened? Include what method of weight loss you used. The reason I ask is that I've yoyo'd and never stuck with the same method to maintain as I used during weightloss. I'm interested in those that DID try to stick with the same method to maintain regardless if it's counting cal, carbs etc and where you…

Blisters on one heel...
I bought a cheap pair of running shoes 2 1/2 years ago. Got blisters on my right heel, someone suggested better shoes and going down 1/2 size.

Expectations vs reality
I really thought I was getting a mini "lava' cake :D , show me yours... Edit: Not on purpose but I covered up the word "bar" more than likely because I didn't notice it when I purchased it nor when taking a picture. I just noticed because of the "truth in advertising" comments below and was like yeah how can they get away…

I'm thinking of not weighing...
When I'm trying to lose weight I step on the scale daily. I know weight fluctuates and I don't have a problem with that. I'm just thinking that since my scale died I won't replace it for a few months. Has anyone tried this? My thought is that I'll just focus on my calories and not even think about weight loss.

What do you mean by cravings...
I often read folks on Keto don't crave carbs after being on Keto for awhile. or I often hear folks craving sweets etc. I don't think I know what that means really. For example I went on Atkins years ago. I was successful in losing my weight, it controlled my appetite to my best recollection, BUT I never stopped wanting a…

Yoga question...
I went about 3 weeks 2 times a week and I enjoyed it enough I felt like it was good for my joints (I'm old), however my instructor seemed to say the same thing and practically do the same routine every time. Is this normal? I can get behind the same routine but it seemed as if she had a script memorized and that got old…

Weight loss start date
I've had a Fitbit aria scale for years so I have a lot of data on my weight. When I got my Fitbit charge 2 my weight loss start date is set up as the day I got the Fitbit instead of June 2016, so its showing 40 lb loss since Jan 24th (I wish it was that fast lol). Any idea how to change that start date without messing up…

Has anyone lost on one diet and maintained...
on another? I suspect that successful maintainers eat exactly how they ate when losing only a few 100 more calories. Am I correct?

My daughter scoffed at...
my 125 lb goal weight. I'm 5'4" 50 and I have 75 lbs to still lose. She seemed to indicate that my goal weight was way too low for me. It's in the middle of the bmi chart and I haven't weighed that since I was in my early 30s. She thinks at my age I would have trouble getting down that low and suggested I set it closer to…

Three men suing Chipotle because they felt too full...

some of you more educated ones out there ELI5. I think I know that our RMR decreases 20-30% after a period of deficit but is there any other slowing down. Eating too few calories?

I've heard maintaining is harder
than actually losing. Why is this? It seems once the calories amount is dialed in for maintenance that it would be equal to losing. Does one tend to loosen the calorie restriction a bit? I have about 7 months to go before I begin maintenance but I think about it often and I'm trying to focus on how to learn from this so…
