1200 calorie goal + workouts?
They say 1200 calories is the lowest you should go. Is it okay to make this my goal if I workout a lot to get more calories, therefor actually eating closer to 1600 calories a day? I know some people say you shouldn't eat back your burned calories or not all of them at least. Its been awhile since I've been here.

Need help and motivation!
I'm 22 and 270 ibs. This is the heaviest I've ever been. Dieting/healthy eating and exercising has always been hard for me. I never stick to it.

HRM and fit bits?
What are these and how to they work? Are they easy to use and do they really accurately measure burned calories? I'm thinking of investing in one but some seem to be expensive.

So sick of all the different information!
I am 5'5, 21 years old, a little less than 250 ibs, and my calories are set to 1570. I picked those calories based on an average of many online calorie calculators. I don't work out much (its a goal), and I don't go to work on a perfectly weekly basis, some weeks I'll work 24 hours while others I'll work 12 while others…

Thanksgiving nerves!
I'm so nervous about thanksgiving. I'm only a week or so into this and I feel like any mistakes could send me flying back into the binging ways of my "past". (a week ago that is). I don't trust myself to be around so much food. I'm so excited for thanksgiving to see my family and to have fun but the food part is stressing…
