Do you log meat by weight on package or after cooking?
I bought some meat and in the package it said .86 lbs and after I cooked it it was 7.5 oz. Which one do I log? Do they really sell meat packages that is almost half its weight in water?

What are my options for door anchoring if the door opens in?
I spend a lot of time tied to a room where the door opens into the room. They don't suggest using door anchors in that situation only when the door opens out. Go ahead and still use them? Other ideas? Don't want to drill holes into the wall.

Is there an excel spreadsheet that recalculates weight daily?
I'm looking to enter height, age, gender, starting weight once and then have it calculate bmr and daily deficit on its own, I.e. as days with a deficit go on the bmr goes down without me having to enter anything more than calories eaten and exercise done.

Hofbrauhaus?
So it's my husband's birthday and I'm taking him to his favorite restaurant, Hofbrauhaus (he says a visit there makes any birthday perfect). Any tips on what to eat there? I was thinking of asking them if they can just give me some chicken breast and veggies (not in the menu but I'm sure they have both in the kitchen).…

Regained 88 out of 119 lbs :( Looking for motivation and support.

Did a full Ironman, marathons, half marathons, triathlons, hiking, boot camps, Zumba, I did it all. September 2014 I met my…

The Re-gained weight loss commiseration thread.

Anyone have any personal experience gaining noticeable muscle at home using just bodyweight, dumbbells, or resistance bands? Thanks! :)

The Love Pounds Support Group
Kind of tongue-in-cheek. Misery loves company and all that. Met my soulmate, got engaged, and gained 20 lbs in the process (I'm also a binge eater and it's mostly under control but when "big" things happen, good or bad, i.e. this year being hit by a car while on a bike and meeting my soulmate) I go off and binge for a…

Looking for words of encouragement.
Starting in 2009 I lost as much as 119 lbs. I recently regained 19 lbs putting me at the 100lb loss mark (still healthy weight at 119 or 100 lbs lost). Started dating, got sick, started binge eating again, etc. What sucks is that I'm going out of town now and again in January and I have a 5K/10K/HM/M in January (Dopey)…

Comments about being skinny.
Conversation with a server at Marie Callender's (it was good-naturedly and we were both smiling). Me: Do you have a low-calorie menu? MC: We do. Although you don't look like you need it. Me: Well I look like I don't need it because I do it. If I don't do THAT ::points to menu:: I don't get THAT ::points to stomach:: MC:…

"Where were you when I was heavy!!!!"

Difference between these two weights?
I'm 5'4" and small framed (and female :) ). If you Google BMI, I can be 108 lbs and still have a normal BMI (pretty much every BMI calculator out there). If you look at height/weight charts, they have the lowest at 114 lbs. What is the difference and would being 108-114 lbs be considered unhealthy? Thanks! :)

HUGE discrepancy in calories - grapes.
I weighed 76 grapes at 506 grams. If I select grapes, raw, 5.06 of 100g, I get 339 calories. If I select grapes, raw, 76 grapes, I get 122 calories. Are my grapes really that huge? How small do the grapes have to be in order to count as that little calories? Which is more accurate? Thanks! :)

Why don't the calories from carbs/fat/protein add up when do
Take this: 2,640 346 71 211 346g of carbs * 4 = 1384 calories 71g fat * 9 = 639 calories 211g protein * 4 = 844 calories 1384 + 639 + 844 = 2867. That's a pretty big discrepancy, a difference of 227 calories (almost 10%). Why so different? It makes it very difficult to calculate percentages.
