Eating exercise calories
People have been telling me that since I don't have a lot of weight left to lose I should be eating my exercise calories back. Here is my question....how do I do I go about eating anywhere from 500-800 calories back...especially without going over my sodium? I know I can put more fruits and veggies in my diet but a lot of…

Why wont this weight leave....
I don't understand...I have been working out consistently 5 to 6 days a week doing Ripped in 30 and running for 3 weeks and eating pretty well and I have not lost anything.

Calorie question?
My current calorie goal is 1370 but when I work out I burn anywhere from 350-800 calories. Should I be eating my calorie goal excluding my burned calories or should my net calories be above 1200 after my workout calories are figured in? Usually I will eat 1370 calories for the day but then when you figure in my workout my…

Calorie question? Lets try this again
My last post was a little confusing so let me try this again. Should my net calories at the end of the day be above 1200 (after all my food and workouts are figured in) or is it ok that if after my workout calories are subtracted from what I ate for the day that my net calories are under 1200? Also, do you typically eat…

Days off...
On Sunday I started Jillian Michaels Ripping in 30. It says for best results to do 5-6 days per week. I am wondering about my rest day. I am hoping to go the 6 day per week route. Would it be better for me to do it 3 days and then take a day off or do all 6 then take a day off? But then I am not sure how that would work…

Yoga
I have been thinking over the past weekend where I went wrong over the past couple of months. I was so motivated and active until about January and then the workouts pretty much stopped and the weight started to come back on.

calories vs. sodium
For the longest time I had my calories at 1200. At that time I had no problem staying at my calorie goal as well as my sodium goal. Now that I have upped my calories up to 1380 I am having a hard time eating enough calories while still staying at or under my sodium. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

I have been on this journey going on 3 years now (joining MFP in August) and I have noticed that I am falling in to the same pattern. I start off hard core for a couple months and then my motivation and determination seem to fall off and then disappear all together. Then after a couple months of doing nothing I seem to…

Diet Soda
Is diet soda really that bad for you if you are still consuming 8 glasses of water per day? I usually have a diet soda to curb my sweet tooth instead of reaching (and binging on chocolate). I know it has some sodium in it but I still make sure that I get my 8 glasses of water per day and stay within my alloted sodium.…

Scale question
If I weighed myself yesterday and then a little while later it said I was heavier, even though I didn't eat or drink anything, is it alright to use the lighter weight? A scale wouldn't say you weigh less than you really do right?

Portion distortion
I have come to realize over the past few months that portion size is one of my BIGGEST problems. I have gotten past the urge to snack and have learned to not suppress my cravings because it will only make it worse. The thing I haven't been able to conquer is my portion distortion. The interesting thing I realized today is…
