What are your favorite leggings?
I am thinking about investing in some quality leggings once I hit my goal weight of 140 lbs. My favorite brand, 90 degrees, no longer have the same quality leggings as before. They were such an easy purchase of $20-25 at Marshall's! Now they keep rolling down during my lift and HIIT sessions. I am currently eyeing the…

How much of it is body dismorphia?
Interested in your thoughts - are there people here who will never been happy with their appearance no matter the progress made? I thought about this during my walk yesterday. I was looking at my arm and it seemed so slim/skinny. It was as though I was looking at someone else's arm because in my opinion, this arm I was…

Skinny fat
My best friend sent me this after telling her I'm not that happy with my weight even at 3 pounds away from my goal. https://www.cosmopolitan.com/health-fitness/news/a61925/kelsey-wells-scale-instagram-post/ I really feel I should try to lose another 5 pounds once I get down to 135 at 5 ft 7 in and she feels I am small…

Wisdom Tooth Removal
I have this procedure scheduled for Saturday I am very nervous over both it and the healing process. I know there is a list of the things I can or can't eat which is fine but I don't think I'll be moving much for a few days at the very least (right?) and since I can't eat solids I am scared I'll lose too much weight. I am…

How long before you can confidently accept a certain weight?
I keep going back and forth between 141 and 142 the last couple of weeks. I weigh in almost daily. This is not something that affects me negatively, so I don't believe there's a reason to stop for now. Anyways, when can I confidently say - hey! I weight 141 pounds! Should it be when I no longer see 142 on the scale? I only…

Now that I have tracked for a month and know this is something I will stick to for a while, I would like to have people who will cheer me on along the way.

Why is it hard to maintain weight for years through intuitive eating?
I'm just looking for thoughts. A watched a video by Natasha Oceane on YT who is a huge advocate of IE. Not going to lie, it is disheartening watching someone eat whatever they want in moderation and know that is something I can't do myself without watching the weight creep back up. I don't want to count calories forever.

How to handle eating differently on workout days
My biggest problem with counting calories is that I am listening to my hunger cues a lot less than I do when I eat intuitively. Of course, IE has not provided the desired results which is why I am doing this again. I am on week two and I still have a hard time eating more on workout days (in order to eat back some workout…

is strength loss during weight loss process inevitable?
This is my first week of calorie counting (this year, I have used this tool before many times) and one of the things I forgot about dieting was that less calories affects my endurance during a workout. My coach demands a lot from me in the hour I meet with him and yesterday was a difficult day. Any suggestions on how I can…

Should I focus on net calories more than anything else?
I've counted many times before so I'd say I have a good basic understanding to the calorie counting method. However, this will be my first time focusing on net calories and I have a hunch that the reasons I hated the process before was because I only focused on my calorie intake instead of both intake and calories burned.…
