Weight loss vs Inches lost
So, I know that everyone loses weight differently and that you can't really help where your weight comes off, but I was wondering if anyone could share how much weight they've lost so far vs the number of inches from their waist/hips they've lost. Or if you don't know exactly what your measurements were, weight vs pants…

Netting very few calories.
A couple weeks ago I got myself a Fitbit and synced it with My Fitness Pal so that it would update my exercise calories for me automatically. My activity level is set to sedentary because I'm a full time student and spend a lot of time sitting, but since getting my fitbit I'm realizing I'm a bit more active than I thought.…

Logging fried foods?
I'm having dinner at my Dad's tonight, and he's frying some chicken for dinner. I have plenty of calories left for the day, so I'm not too concerned about it, but I am curious as to how I should log it. I plan on logging the chicken and the breading, and then the oil as well. I just don't know how much oil I should log.…

Eating after a workout?
So, I have this weird problem and was wondering if anyone else deals with it too... I typically work out in the morning at some point before I eat, and then eat after my workout. However, whenever my workout is really intense by the time I finish the thought of eating something is absolutely nauseating for a while, no…

Fitness videos for the uncoordinated?
My attempts at using fitness videos have always been extremely short-lived, because I am SO uncoordinated. I always feel like I'm just sort of flailing about aimlessly. Does anyone else have this problem, and have you found that it gets easier as you go, or do just remain as uncoordinated as ever? I just started Focus T25,…

Focus T25
I recently decided to try out Focus 25. It seems like a nice workout. Has anybody else tried it or had results with it?

Sedentary vs Lightly Active
I recently changed my activity level from Lightly Active to Sedentary because I quit my job which kept me on my feet 8 hours a day. I plan on staying unemployed for a while while I go back to school full time, which means I'm going to be doing a lot more sitting around. I am going to try to stay active though through…

Avocados may be causing an upset stomach.
It wasn't up until maybe a year or two ago that I tried avocado for the first time. Since then, I can probably count the number of times I've eaten avocado on one hand. Tonight I made some shrimp tacos that had a fresh mango and avocado salsa on them, and almost immediately afterwards my stomach became very upset. Thinking…

Favorite Active Activities?
I've lived a pretty sedentary lifestyle, and I'm trying to become more active. I have a job where I'm on my feet all day, and I go to the gym a couple times a week, but other than that I tend to just sit around the house. I want to fill my free time with more activity. What are some physically demanding things that you…

Not "feeling the burn"
A couple months ago, I started going to the gym to run and to use the weight machines. I started going a few times a week at the beginning of June. At first whenever I jogged for a while or lifted weights I would feel that pleasant burn in my muscles. It would feel like I was accomplishing something, and my muscles would…

Vitamix soup recipes?
A couple months ago I bought myself a Vitamix, and I am absolutely in love with it. Lately, I've been getting into making soups in it. Tonight I made myself the sweet potato soup recipe that is on the Vitamix website, and it is wonderful. Does anybody have any Vitamix soup recipes they'd like to share? Here's the link to…

People at 200+, when did you start seeing physical results?
I'm going to ask the question that has probably been asked a thousand times: how far into your journey were you when you started really seeing physical results? I started working out and eating better (most days) at the beginning of the month, and am down 12 pounds from 256 to 244. I'm already starting to feel a whole lot…

Fondly remember foods you don't like anymore
Does anybody else have a problem with eating foods that don't actually taste good to you anymore, because you remember how good they used to taste? All week I've been craving pizza from my favorite pizza place. Today I was out with some friends and blew well over my calorie limit for the day, plus had a fair amount of…

Weight loss after workouts
Does anybody else ever drop a few pounds after working out? It always happens to me. For example, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I was roughly the same weight. Then, last night I went to the gym, and this morning I was three pounds lighter. Now, I know my workouts are nowhere near intense enough to burn that many calories.…

How do you have your food diary set up?
I just learned that you can go into the settings and rename your meal categories. A lot of times I have a hard time deciding what meal category I should log something into (Especially on days where I work at 4 AM and have "lunch" at like 9 AM and then a second lunch or heavy snack later in the afternoon), so I decided to…

Help! Veggies hurt my stomach.
My whole life, I've eaten a diet made primarily of processed foods. Chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, fast food, etc. My vegetable intake typically consisted of potatoes and corn. Occasionally, I'll start eating healthier, and try adding more plant-based meals to my diet. The big problem is, afterwards, my stomach usually…
