Losing Motivation and I'm just tired
I'm tired of counting my calories, I'm tired of planning my meals. My body is just tired, exhausted from exercising everyday and burning more than 4000 sometimes 5000 calories from exercise a week, to only basically look the same, lose only 1 lb a week and not have anyone even notice because it's such a gradual change. I'm…

So I've just started doing laps at the gym swimming freestyle, and I"m feeling sore from it and I feel like I'm getting a good workout because I'm always breathing hard after a full lap.

Question for women with PCOS...
So I was diagnosed with PCOS about a month ago and my doctor prescribed me Yasmin as a treatment. I was on it previously and I was losing weight when I was on it but barely.

anybody done weight watchers?
For people who have done weight watchers...does it set up plan similar to MFP that tells you how many calories you should be consuming?

Any suggestions about gas caused by fruit?
So I have recently realized that fruit makes me really gassy and bloated. I don't like the feeling at all because I feel so heavy, but when I don't eat fruit for a few days the bloating goes away and the scale goes down...i drink a lot of water so I think it's primarily just the fruit. So what can I do about it? Does…

How do you feel about soups?
I used to like them but not anymore. Soup usually has high sodium, and fills you up easily in that sitting but an hour later you're hungry again. It's basically like a thick juice...just because it's watery calories doesn't necessarily means its all that good for you!. just a thought haha

better to eat before or after workout?
So I was wondering what everyone thought, and even some professional opinions would be good here. I personally think it's better to eat after a workout because your metabolism is boosted for up to 12 hours after a workout so if you eat right after then you're body can replenish and digest your food faster. I'm no…
