What are your period weight gain numbers (women only obviously)
I just want to compare out of sheer curiousity. My weight is up 2.5lb this month due to my period and it always goes back down along with another 2-3lb loss for the week immediately after my period ends. When does the period weight come for you? Before or during? When does it fall off? During or after? I’m ignoring my 2lb…

How many times have you messed up on your way to your goal?
So I know weight loss and being healthy is life long and not a sprint. However, we all usually have an end point in terms of numbers or percentages that we are chasing. Maybe even just a feeling we are trying to reach- ie feeling stronger, healthier or leaner. I am on track to my goal at 0.5lb loss per week or even less as…

Hi! So I was wondering if someone’s weight is up a few pounds from food and water NOT FAT, is it still the same visually as if the person had gained 5lb of fat? I have always wondered this.

Calories burned walking 4.0-4.5mph on a 10% incline for an hour (estimates)
Hi! So I am having difficulty estimating this accurately... I walk 4.0 mph on a 10% incline for an hour almost everyday. I have been logging it as if I am on a flat surface. The calories burned calculated I used are way too low. I’m just not sure how to estimate this. Does anyone have any accurate calculators? I’d rather…

Tips to motivate yourself when you’re really not wanting to workout
Hi! So I’m new here. I’ve been at this 1.5 months so far... I haven’t had any issues getting myself to the gym or to eat healthy so far. This week I got my period and on top of that I have a lot of financial stress in my life that is almost debilitating. I worry over my bills and school constantly. The combination of these…

“Whoosh effect”
Just wondering why this happens? If anyone knows? I was losing 3lb a week for 3 weeks then had a 1 week stall, and now I’m magically 5lb less than I was a week ago. I still have to weigh in and log that weight tomorrow although I got on the scale today at an unplanned time and that is how I discovered this sudden loss.…

Stomach pain after eating fast food for the first time in a month.. is this normal? And why is this?
Hi! For the last month I have ate strictly vegetables, tuna, some other lean protein and fruit. I have lost 3lb a week for the last month. After 35 days my friend and I decided to do a cheat meal within our calories and I ate Taco Bell. Then the next day I ate 2 slices of pizza (also within my calories). I had thought I…
