Does it mean I am not in a deficit?
I am so conflicted on this discussion because I hear two different things and I also have experience for myself. When people say on the forums "I eat this much, burn this much" a lot are quick to jump to the "you are not in a deficit". Then there are those that say "You are not eating enough". For myself, I was stuck in an…

When do you go from -500 to -250?
I started at 250lbs, I am currently stuck at 186.4lbs for the last 2 months. I track with a bodymedia armband.

I am wondering when is the time to…

Does Consistency matter?

"BAD" carbs?
I have been slowly losing weight, though after looking back since March 2013, I have realized that I have not even lost 10lbs and for some reason, my measurements have actually increased! (I was 210lbs in March), so I would think I would have lost more than that. My carb intake can be fairly high, about 200-250g/day. I…

Do you get sick less often?
I am from Canada. Thus for more than half of the year we freeze our *kitten* off in the cold winters. In light of H1N1 going around, along with a huge variety of other different cold and flu's, I have come to realize that I have not got sick since I began my weight loss journey in 2011. Not a single cold, or a single flu.…

Increase/Decrease/Maintain Calorie Deficit?
I purchased a bodymedia link armband about a month ago. I finally have been losing weight again after a brutal 9 month plateau/slow weight loss (maybe .5 of a pound a month...if i was lucky) So right now, I am at -500 off of my TDEE, and I have been losing about .5-1lb a month. I am thinking I could possibly speed this up…

Does Sodium Stop Weight Loss?
So I have been using my bodymedia armband consistently through out the last few weeks. Logging very accurately, and I am often WAY over on sodium! Now, from what I have read is that sodium causes water retention, but could it stop weight loss all together if intake is often high?

What do I need for Squats and Deadlifts?
I desperately need to start doing squats. I do them without any weights, and I like the idea of adding weights. I have also heard good things about deadlifts, which I am wanting to try.

Do you limit your calorie burn?
I have been feeling much better burning around 400-500 calories a day, instead of 600-700.
