Emotional Stress Eating
So I'm just wondering how other people deal with the urge to stress eat. I know I shouldn't, and it's not helpful, especially since I have a very emotionally taxing job (I'm a child therapist for high risk youth) so it's not just random days here and there, I'm usually feeling stressed at the end of the day, with my…

Tracking Juicing???
So my girlfriend and I just got a juicer, and I'm curious. How do I track the juices we make? Like the one we did last night was celery, kiwi, apple, kale, spinach, and cucumber. Do I enter each thing like I ate it? Any experienced juicers out there have any advice for me?

Swimming-great for exercise not so great for everything else
Hey all, I'm calling all veteran swimmers. I've been swimming 30 minutes 3-4 days a week in the little pool at my apartment complex. I'm really enjoying it as a form of exercise (I'm in Phoenix, so walking outside, even early morning/late night is out of the question in July) but it's wrecking my skin. It doesn't help that…

Clean Eating Detox?
So my girlfriend has been having some health issues recently, we're still testing and going to the doctor to figure out exactly what's wrong, but with all the stress that's come with that (including her having to quit her job due to the illness, us having to find a new place to live, living in hotels and short term rentals…

Sugar Addicts Unite???
I'm am trying (when I'm having a good day, generally failing if I'm having a bad day) to kick my sugar habit. I'm not doing anything super drastic, I keep fruit, veggies and things with natural sugars in my diet, but I've spent far too long reaching for our office candy jar when I'm sad, stressed, have low energy, etc...…

acountabilibuddy
Hey all, I am in desperate need of an accountability buddy. I have been super stressed lately and have been letting myself cope with food and laziness. I'm hoping to log in everyday, post my goals on my wall, and track my food. I'm starting slow with tracking and exercising 3 days a week. I'd love someone who's also…

Back on pointe
Has anyone else done her workouts (backonpointe.tumblr.com)? (if you've ever been on the pintrest health/fitness boards, you've definitely seen them posted). I don't remember having sweat that hard that quickly since rugby practice in college! They leave me a sweaty, out of breath mess. I love it!

late night training/fueling
I'm doing a night race coming up (it starts at 10 PM) and I've been doing my training runs at night and realized I have no idea how to recover/fuel them without staying up to like 4 in the morning. I've been burning like 1500ish calories on long runs, but can't bring myself to eat the calories back. I make sure to drink…

Tracking at Disney?
Hey, Just a quick question. I'm on vacation at Disney World with my family, and I have NO idea how to track activity. I'm not working out, but we're on our feet and walking around or standing in line all day. Anyone have any idea how I should figure out the calorie burn?

Question about sugar...
So with the summer being here, there is about a gazillion fruits that are in season that are super low calorie, but is it just as bad to go over your daily sugar if it is all fruit and natural sugar as it is if you ate candy or refined sugars?

Whole foods nutritional information
I don't know if this is just new to me or it's just being rolled out in all the stores, but at my whole foods there is now a little computer where you can look up and print out the nutritional information of all their store made recipes. Super useful! Just figured I'd share just in case anyone else had no idea this existed…

Scales?
Hey, I'm in the market for a new scale. Mine is super inconsistent. I can get on and off and get slightly different numbers every time. Can anyone suggest a good one?

Doing everything right?
I'm really frustrated, I've logged my food everyday for over a month.I make almost all my meals at home, rarely eat any processed foods. I've only been over my calorie counts for the day 2 or 3 times, so far I'd lost about 3 pounds. I hop on the scale today after what I think is a good week, and my scale says I've gained…

Deceptively fattening foods
So I went to Whole foods last night with the intention of buying a prepared vegan thai "chicken" dish they have that I have been craving for days, but when I got there they were out. I'm on a vegan detox so almost everything from the hot bar was out as well. I found some vegan general tso's chicken at their deli. I knew it…

Late night workouts
Hey, I'm a bit of a night owl and often find myself working out late at night, after midnight when my food diary has already switched over to the next day. I usually just log it with the day before, since I generally consider my days to switch over when I go to bed, but does anyone have any advice on this either way?

Home for Christmas
Hey everyone, I just wanted to see if anyone had any advice for going home for the holidays. My roommates and I have a really healthy active lifestyle living in the city where it is really easy to find vegan, all natural foods and we can walk everywhere. When I go home, it's so much harder with all the processed foods and…

New and looking for fitness buddies
Hey everyone, I just joined today and I've realized through my many previous weight loss attempts I tend to do better when I have people doing it with me, so I was wondering if there was anyone else out there who wanted to check in with each other a couple times a week, maybe all weigh in on the same day, threaten each…
