Someone please explain calorie deficit?!
I have been on this website for quite sometime. I know what I need to do to lose weight, like I know I need to stay healthy and exercise, etc... But... the one thing that I really can't quite understand is the calorie deficit. Like... how exactly do we calculate this and how do we know if we've burned 3,500? Since that…

Question about working out in a sauna suit
So, I decided to buy a sauna suit the other day. (Under $10 at Walmart.) I can't join a gym at the moment, but I thought, hey maybe this will help me sweat a little. I am currently doing a workout DVD at home everyday and so I tried wearing the sauna suit during it today and WOW. I was pouring sweat. The suit was literally…

Help motivate via mobile?
I am looking for someone to chat with at least once a day via texting or Kik messenger. I prefer Kik since you don't have to give out your actual phone number. I need motivation and someone to hold me accountable. I will do the same for you. Please be at least 18 years old and have at least 40 pounds to lose. I need to…

If I can do it, so can YOU.
I can not tell you how many times in the past 3 years since I've had my son that I've tried and failed at staying within my calorie goals and exercising. The past year especially, I've tried and tried and tried to no avail. Well, this past week, I've finally done it. I feel amazing. I am 6 days in and almost 5 pounds down.…

Scale questions..
So, I weighed myself this morning, after I peed and before drinking/eating anything because that's how I was told you are supposed to do it. I weighed in at 191.4 pounds which I was ecstatic about because it's the lowest I've been in 3 years. I had a small errand to run. Took about an hour altogether. I had drank maybe a…

Help! Mentally addicted to food.
I have just discovered that I am mentally addicted to food.. I think that's what you would call it. I can be completely full and even happy, not stressed or anything. And the fact that I know that I can't have something drives me absolutely insane until I finally give in and eat it. I remember when I smoked cigarettes. If…

Calorie deficit? Goals help?
Calories Burned / Week 2,690 calories/week Daily Calorie Deficit 610 calories When I click on "Your Fitness Goals" these 2 things are highlighted in red and I'm not sure what they mean exactly. So does the first mean that I am supposed to burn 2,690 calories a week with exercise?? And the second thing, I thought meant I'm…

Can you get rid of loose skin?
Without surgery? I don't have it yet since I've just started losing weight, but I'm fairly sure that I'm going to :/ For one thing, I had a cesarean. For another, I gained almost 90 pounds in a 9 month period (being pregnant). So I was wondering is it impossible to get rid of loose skin without some type of surgery? My…

What the heck are macros?
I tried searching the boards but can't seem to find a thread that explains what they are. I just finally figured out what calories and fat calories mean and now I'm hearing about these macros, lol.

People doing 1200-1300 calories per day, post here please!
I was wondering if you could either copy and paste an average day from your diary for me or you can feel free to add me so I can view your diary :) Also, if your diary is public, please let me know here. I am trying to look at a variety of what people are eating to stay within their goals so I can get a better idea how to…

Walk at Home by Leslie Sansone calories burned?
I just bought the "Walk away your waisteline" dvd and I love it! It makes you walk 3 miles in just 45 minutes from the comfort of your home which is great since I have a 3 year old and can't always make it to the gym. My question is how many calories on average am I burning? I've tried to find it online but there are so…

Chop It Salad Co. nutritional menu?
Not to be mistaken with the other company called Chop't since that keeps coming up when I google. I ate there today for the first time and it was very tasty! I had Cajun Chicken for my meat and a Fat Free/Gluten free Sesame dressing which was amazing! I was disappointed though when I asked for a nutritional menu and he…

Complete failure.
I don't want to sound whiny or like I'm just making a post for attention. I've had problems with this for so long and I am at my breaking point. I am mentally addicted to food. That's the only conclusion that I can come to. When I'm dieting, all I can think of is all of the food I'm not eating. I'll do okay during the day…

Body By Vi question!
I've just started the shakes yesterday. I can't find anywhere where it says how many snacks you should have or what type of snacks and also how many calories on average you should have for dinner. I know there is controversy with shake diets but they work for me. They keep me full and spending the money makes me want to…

Calories Vs. Fat Calories?
I hope I don't sound like a complete idiot. Buttttt I don't get it exactly. So when you see something that's say 210 calories and 90 fat calories, does that mean that altogether, you're eating 300 calories? Are the fat calories separate or are they already included in the 210 but they are just letting you know that 90 of…

Shake diets..
Which one can I buy from my local Wal-Mart actually works? For example, Slim Fast. Please spare me the comments about how it doesn't teach you long term healthy eating habits or how it's a fad diet. I know that :) I want something quick and temporary. So what I was wondering is which one is the healthiest way to go that…

Several small meals versus 3 "big" meals?
So, I've learned from here and other places that you should try and have lots of small meals during the day rather than 3 "big" meals. I'm finding this hard to do. I wake up and I make sure I eat breakfast and honestly I'm not hungry again until lunch, so then I eat lunch and I'm not hungry again until dinner. A few hours…

I honestly feel like I can't do this.
You don't know me, but I want to say that this is NOT in any way for attention. I am absolutely serious and I am just looking for some motivation and support and hopefully some helpful advice. I don't know how everybody does this. I am mentally addicted to food. I eat when I'm not hungry. I started a diet yesterday and my…

Hey!
Ok, so I'm Katie. I'm 29 years old and I want to lose 100 pounds before I'm 30 which is in March. I was pretty much 130 pounds throughout highschool & 140 pounds since I've been 21. I've always wanted to be around 120, but for the most part, I was comfortable with my weight. I was nowhere near what anybody would call…
