Over eat one day, Under eat the next?
I have always wondered how much it balances out. If for some reason I have to go out and eat with family, and I over eat like 1000 calories, is it okay to under eat like 250 calories for 4 days after that? Or just say "I screwed up" and continue eating to your net goal?

Has anyone else experienced weight gain while they were sick? Last Tuesday I weighed in at 174lbs, and today I got on the scale before getting a shower and I was 177/176. Is my body holding onto extra water to fight my cold?

Favorite exercise?
If you're anything like me, you hate doing the same routine day after day. Over Spring Break I have done a lot of random things to burn calories. One day I worked and clocked over 8 miles of walking distance. Another day I went hiking for 3-4 hours and went bouldering. Another day I went biking with some friends for about…

12lbs lost so far
I never realized how much of a difference 12 pounds could make... but I feel like you can definitely tell by looking at my pictures. This was when I weighed around 188-189 at the very end of December 2012. My dad and I took my little sister to Disney World. Wore a size 36" waist jeans, which weren't tight, but they weren't…

What to log?

Unfortunately most of our recipes add quite a bit of fat to such a…

Confused with measurements
I am extremely confused. I haven't dropped a pound in over 2 weeks, and I figured that maybe it's because I'm working out and replacing with muscle/retaining water. Unfortunately, I just measured myself, and I am somehow an inch wider in my hip, and waist. I'm not sure whether I took the measurements inaccurately the last…

Weight for abs to show?
I know there isn't a definite answer for anything... and I know they say you need to hit the 10% body fat mark or lower for abs to show, but is there a good calculator around to figure out around what weight you will need to be for abs to show? I am currently 177lbs, 66" tall and have a body fat percentage of 21.2%. From…
