Weekends are tough
I do great during the week with staying within macros and calories. The weekend however....not so good. I try to stay within it but, usually in the afternoon, kind of fall apart. For the most part my attitude is fine but there are time when I just want a latte or piece of candy but am already at my limit. The restrictions…

One year and 45 pounds down
I took my one year pictures the other day. Initially, I was a little down because I still thought I looked big and didn't lose more. However, all that changed when I looked back at my start pictures. Holy cow, I was huge! I didn't weigh myself when I started but I'm guessing I was around 265. I weighed myself several weeks…

Does drinking a lot of water really help?
I know, this may seem like a silly question. I just really struggle with consuming enough; I usually average about 40 ounces a day. It isn't that I don't like it, I just don't tend to drink a lot of anything throughout the day. I've read that we should drink at least 64 ounces and I've also read not to stress about it…

Herniated disc and cardio- so frustrated
Recently found out I have a herniated disc in my lower back. While I still lift, doing cardio has been immensely frustrating. I love doing it but I'm to the point of quitting because I always end up hurting afterwards. I've tried incline walking, both types of bikes and even the stairs once or twice. I'm considering yoga…

Finally broke the plateau!
I've been hovering around 231 for the past several months. I maintained my calories but exercising took a hit because of horrible back pain. I'm finally doing better and have been working out again for the past month. Well, today I weighed in at 226, and that was with a sweatshirt, tshirt, jeans and snow boots on!!!

Siatica and leg exercises
I haven't done any type of leg exercises (except cardio) since I've been in therapy for my back pain; I'm too scared I'll do something to re-injure myself since some of the leg exercises can be hard on the back but I decided I want to try and reintroduce it into my workout. For those with the same type of problem, what has…

Best brand of turkey back ?
What's a good brand for turkey bacon? I normally like my regular bacon on the crispy side. I tried Oscar Meyer and it was so dry and tasted like cardboard. I hate to keep wasting money on bad stuff.

Shoulder injury from weight lifting....very frustrated!

I apply bengay about 3 times a day, alternate between ibueprofen and aspirin and ice it sometimes. I have to put a pillow under my shoulder…

Have any ladies with PCOS tried the glycemic load diet?
I'm reading a book about the glycemic load method and find it interesting. I take metformin 500mg 2xs daily and so far have used the calorie counting method. I am having some luck with it but I'm curious about this method. Has anyone had any luck with this method?

How do you eat 1200-1300 calories?
My daily calorie goal is 1280 calories and I have a really hard time sticking to this. I've been doing this for about a month and still struggle. When I do exercise (cardio+weights) I eat back my calorie allowance and usually I'm ok then. My typical meals run about 250 calories for breakfast, 400- 500 hundred for lunch ( I…
