Restrictive Dieting?
I just wanted to ask the community here if they've found that the *only* way to lose weight and keep it off is to have very regimented, restrictive, and repetitive planned meals each and every day? Also, my other question is: If you've always lived to eat, what have you done to fill in the gaps of no longer focusing on…

Arms & pushups
So I have one of those “perfect push-up” devices and I feel that I should start using it now if I want to see some results this summer. I was wondering, can you do just pushups in order to nicely firm and tone your arms? Or do you need to do other exercises in order to target specific muscles that are not used during…

How many calories recommended for...?
Anyone have tips on that sweet spot number for calories? I was planning on gauging my daily calorie intake around the TDEE calculator via the Basal Metabolic Rate. However, I feel that that number may be too high. But I also don't want to make a too large of a calorie deficit because that might cause my metabolism to run…

Finally inspired to lose the weight!
I’ve tried this fantastic app a few times, but always end up getting lazy and ignoring accountability. I’ll lose about 20 pounds, then some life event will happen and I’ll start slipping into old habits again. Well, I just found out an hour or so ago, that I might have a wonderful social event to attend this August.…
