Drink all the water!
How much water do you guys drink? How much do you think is too much? I can easily hit over 100oz per day when I don't have class. Otherwise it's 72-ish oz.

Check my diary?
I'm having a hard time keeping my intake up. It's tempting to fall back to old habits, where I'd restrict myself to ~500 cals, either intentionally, or I just wouldn't get hungry. I need someone (or 2 or 3 someones) to help make sure I'm eating enough. If you could check my diary and give suggestions, that would be great.…

Eat More to Weigh Less..?
I've never really looked at this idea before, but now I'm interested in trying something different. I lost 17 pounds last year by eating 1200 calories a day, and I NEVER exercised. So now that I've restarted my weight loss journey, I've tried the same thing. It's been a roller coaster of a restart, due to holiday,…

America to UK
Could someone who's experienced both the UK and the US please tell me the biggest differences? What would be different in my life if I moved to England? (And what are the policies for doing that?) I know I could research it, but personal opinions are more fun :smile:

exercise & healing
I'm super motivated and am dying to run again... but knee injuries are telling me no. They've been messed up for months (clumsy me managed to sprain them both within a month) and I can't afford to go to the doctor. They hurt on and off right now, and I really don't want to make it worse -- I still have my whole life ahead…

Sodium
I know how important it is to watch your sodium intake, and I had ketchup today for the first time in months... it reminded me how much sodium is in it. Is there such a thing as reduced sodium ketchup? =P

NSV
I tried to have a milkshake for the first time in quite awhile. it made me absolutely sick. I was so disgusted that I couldn't finish it. A few months ago, I could've had multiple milkshakes, 1000s of calories, and not known nor cared.

Don't want to maintain!
I have maintained for 2 months, eating approximately 1400 cals a day. I thought bodies were supposed to burn that much just by being alive, but mine isn't. Is it really going to take tons of exercise and cutting back to 1200 cals to lose again? I didn't think 1400 was that bad... 5'0" 118 pounds

Emotional Calorie Burn?
do we burn extra calories when we're extra emotional? when we have nervous breakdowns, including hyperventilating, crying, and uncontrollable shaking, that last for more than a few minutes? I know I'm always super exhausted when I get emotional or cry, so is it because my body subconciously burned more calories by being…

Libby's pumpkin pie is the best <3 the best part is that it's (almost) guilt free! 95 calories! OH MY GOSH! 95 calories! I know I'm freaking out over some…

Sodium vs Water?
I've read lots of posts about it, but still don't understand. If I go way over on sodium, then will drinking extra water balance it out? Any help would be appreciated :)

hello :)
hello, i thought i'd give this website a try, since a year of dieting didn't work :p i'm young, and about 20 pounds overweight. i've decided this is the time to get serious. i found out that i was only eating 600 calories a day, bc i was never hungry, so i didn't eat! i'm now eating 1200 calories a day, though it's mostly…
