Favorite nutrition bars/ snacks
I work from 5-11 typically and I'll eat a small dinner around 4ish and then a snack at 11 when I get off (I don't get to eat at work) I've been grabbing cliff bars or power bars (love these) to have as a snack alongside a banana or something because I find it difficult to get enough calories early on in the day. What are…

Too tired from work to workout
The last 3 nights I've been working late in a restaurant and it's been to about midnight and 1am. I'm sore and I ache too just do to being on my feet, busy, and the physical demands. I know if I'm tired I should take it easy, but I didn't work out yesterday and I haven't been putting in the most effort to my work outs…

How do you stay patient with progress?
Within the last couple of years, I lost about 45 pounds. Sadly I haven't really lost in a year, I developed binge eating disorder and I've struggled with it for nearly a whole year now. I've recently had the courage to seek recovery and kind of intuitively eat. I've only done this a couple weeks (I go at the end of the day…

Clif bar discussion!?
I have to admit I've become obsessed with cliff bars. Sometimes I miss lunch (I wish I didn't, it's schedule problems) and I know a cliff bar helps hold me over, also on days I work out I may grab one. I was wondering how bad they are though, something that tasty can't be healthy, can it? Or okay. I make sure they fit in…

How long should you wait to work out when having a stomach bug?
I got up this morning ready to go for a run, so I tried to eat my usual pre-run oatmeal and couldn't stomach it. Come to find out I have a stomach but with vomiting and, well, you know "all of the above" symptoms. All I've been doing is drinking Powerade zero and resting. How long should I wait before returning to my usual…

Intuitive eating tips?
I've been a binge eater, a calorie tracker, emotional eater...I just want to eat more intuitively. I still like tracking calories because it sets my mind at ease and I have a better idea of how I'm doing plus a fear of weight gain. I just want to be able to listen to my body better. I do schedule my eating around work outs…

Rapidly gaining weight, but looking slimmer?
According to my scale (a 20$ digital Walmart scale) I'm weighing 148-150 pounds and I'm 5'5 I used to weight 138 lbs with the same diet, work out, etc. there's no way I gained 10 lbs in muscle either. I pretty much look the same, in my opinion my stomach is flatter. I wear sizes 4-7 in pants, anywhere from xs-m in shirts…

My weight keeps going up no matter what?
I've been jogging, and walking. Eating 1500 calories and according to my scale I'm 148.2 pounds and I'm 5'5 (last summer my diet was the same and my work out the same and I was 138) I don't look like I'm 150 pounds almost and I don't have a ton of muscle that makes up that weight. (My scale is a 20$ digital one from…

Should I work out if I'm sick?
Usually I try to do 4 days where I run each week, I take a walk another day and then do yoga and then have a rest day. Unfortunately, I haven't been feeling good this week and it's worse today. I ran Monday, but yesterday I had to walk instead and today I wanted to run but I'm still not feeling great. I took off my morning…

Binge eating disorder and counting calories
I've come to terms with the fact that binge eating disorder is something I struggle with. I binge frequently, eat alone, (I hate eating in front of people) and would avoid situations that involve food often. Recently then binging sort of got out of hand mixed in with counting calories (don't get me wrong myfitnesspal is…

Are you going to eat a lot today?

Should I switch to maintaining my weight?
I came off of a 45 pound weight loss. I'm 5'5 and I flunctuate between 136-140 lbs. I know I'm in a healthy range but I'm not totally happy with my body. I haven't lost anymore weight in months and I'm tired of serial starting. Would it be good to swap to maintaning and working out more?

Haven't lost weight in 7 months?
I don't know what to do. I've adjusted my calorie goals, I've tracked, measured, etc. Started running, started walking. Nothing, I'm still the same weight. I don't understand it's the last 10 pounds and eating 1350-1500 calories a day would have to allow me to lose weight. Any amount. I'm 5'5 136-140 pounds. What can I…

I don't know how many calories to eat
I get mixed answers. I haven't been able to lose the last ten pounds in 7 months. While it's been hard, I've had slip ups too. Do I increase my calories and slow down or go even lower and try to lose. I'm confused and tired of starting over. (I'm currently eating 1350)

I know I'm not eating that healthy so I'm trying to get ideas and inspiration. My total…

Is it possible to only have 2 abs (so far)
I cleaned up my diet more this past month, started doing the crunches again.... I noticed when I eat healthier I can notice the muscles of 2 abs, obviously the rest of my stomach is still developing. Is it possible to see only 2 abs even if I don't have a flat stomach yet? They're the top 2

How to stop binging on snacks!?
I've been trying to lose the last 5-10 pounds and no matter what they will it come off. This is the only thing left that I must be doing wrong, I oversnack. Instead of grabbing an apple, or banana, or nuts I'll get like a handful of crackers or nuts or something a piece of brownie or break something off here and there…

Did I do it all wrong?
In the course of a year and a half I've lost about 44 pounds just by counting calories and watching what I ate. Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy I lost weight it has changed my life but I'm still unhappy. I still need to lose about 10 more pounds but it feels impossible. I've been tracking well, excercising when I can, but…

I was doing well in the summer using C25k app and was actually almost finished with it, I was so motivated to.

Why am I not losing weight at all?
1. Yes I've adjusted my calories accordingly. 2. I understand my loss is supposed to slow down. 3. I highly doubt I'm gaining muscle at this rate. I've been stuck between 135-137 pounds eating a defecit that I should be losing a pound a week. I measure my food, track very well. Haven't lost weight in about 2 months. I have…
