For people with a unhealthy relationship with food--thoughts..
Hi there, Just a bit of background, I have never been diagnosed with an eating disorder. I have never been bulimic or anorexic, so, the unhealthy relationship I refer to is more related to obsession, restricting, binging etc. I am at the higher end of my healthy weight range (sometimes shooting up to 5lbs above) and have…

Yet another FitBit question
My husband bought me a fitbit for my birthday. Or rather a gift card for one. I am a runner, mostly, and am looking at either the Charge 2 or the new and not yet released Alta HR. First, for those of you with the Charge 2--what are your likes and dislikes? Also, how accurate do you find it for calories burned? Thanks!

Recipe websites with calories counted
I am wondering what recipe websites you all use that have the calories already figured. I already use Skinnytaste but don't know any others. I do build recipes but I hate it. I know it isn't a big deal but I just can't stand it

I just need.......something
Hey there, I don't know what I need. Maybe just to vent? Support? Suggestions? I am 5'8 and at set at 1380 calories though I workout and eat back all those calories (generally 300 on the days I work out, from running 3-5 miles.). I started at 173 and am now at 163. It has taken me just over 3 months to get here. My…

Exercise calories, again!
My daily calories are currently set at 1380 per day. Up until about a month ago I was losing slowly (.75lbs per week) but steadily without exercise. I was taking a break from exercise while I focused on my diet so as not to ramp up my hunger. I have started running 3 miles five days a week. I have been counting the…

Keeping up motivation during stalls

As a result of the stall I have gotten discouraged and a bit sloppy with my tracking. Just wondering what everyone does to keep your…

Just curious-mowing the lawn
I mowed my lawn today with a push mower, it took an hour. Do others count that as exercise? I normally only could my working out calories (not causal walks etc) but I am wondering if I should count this.

Question for people who lift heavy.
I have been a long time cardio junkie...run half marathons etc but my body has never really changed much. So, I decided to try lifting heavy and have been doing stronglifts for a while now. I lift 3-4 days per week and walk or run 2 miles before I lift. This is a drastic reduction in my cardio and it makes me so nervous,…

Squats
Hi there, I started Stronglifts about 2 months ago and have noticed since my squat weight has been building that my lower back has been sore and I feel it when I lift. I know that must mean my form isn't quite right but can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Binged
I just binged today after an already off track weekend. I feel sfreaking out of control and I hate myself for it. I know, back on the horse but I just hate myself right now. Not sure what I am looking for here but I guess I just needed to get it out. Planning to go to bed so I don't eat anything more.
