It's amazing when it really hits you.
My whole life I was skinny. I played almost every sport all year round, rarely stayed still in one stop and enjoyed life. In high school I ate like a moron but was graced with a high metabolism. After high school and getting a car is where it all went downhill. I began to eat worse, drink, smoke, never drink water, and…

I am back for good!!!!
Hello, I joined a year ago and was living a lifestyle where I was laid off work, but had income saved to sustain. I decided it was a perfect time to go health crazy. Eating well, drinking lots of water, going to the gym 5-6 days a week and sleeping right. I was doing great until I got some work out of town for a couple of…

Just Shocking to me..!!
So I decided for fun to add in a food journal a day I used to eat a few months ago. After I added everything up it scared me. The total day calories were 4600, the sodium was 4 times a daily limit, fat through the roof and carbs through the roof. I cannot believe I used to eat that bad.

About bacon
I was at the store the other day and was reading the nutritional guide on bacon. It has facts on raw and cooked. My confusion lies with that. Because when it's cooked it is fairly low in most things but when it is raw it is very high in fat and salt. so my question is when you cook bacon, does that mean the cooked…

Looooong post about exercise calories...
So far I have lost 12 pounds. I agree completely it is mostly water weight. I eat a ton of food, and it is mostly veggies, fruit and chicken which are low in calories but provide me with everything else I need. I do mix it up once in a while. I have read countless topics regarding people who are under their deficit. I sat…

Total garbage
I am always well under my calorie deficit for the day. I exercise a lot and I eat a lot. I never deprive myself of food. I am always eating. So it just really makes no sense to me when people comment I need to eat more. I think it is totally untrue. Especially since I have lost 12 pounds already.

Where to get a good HRM?
I live in British Columbia, Canada. Just wondering where would I pick up a heart rate monitor for a decent price?

Am I imagining things?
I usually just shoot hoops for an hour at the gym before I work out. I selected the option "shooting hoops" and it said for 90 minutes of shooting hoops I burned 650 Calories. Is that accurate?? Or should I buy a heart rate moniter?

CALORIE Shifting
Generally I eat close to the same calories every day, but I try to mix it up with more calories. Does this work for anyone?

How does my food journal look?! :)

Should I MIX it up?
So every day I do eat pretty much the same thing. I eat a lot of veggies and fruit. I also love to eat vegetable chicken stir fry. But if I continue eating similar foods will my body just get used to it and will I just see no progress in the long run? Should I mix it up a few days and eat more and some days eat less?

I think this is way off!
So before every workout I shoot hoops for about 30-45 minutes at least. It isn't me running hard to get the ball and shooting fast its just me taking shots jogging over to get the ball etc. I added it in as exercise and it says I am burning 300-400 calories! the other day I shot hoops for 90 minutes and it says I burned…

My weigh in surprise!
So I weighed myself 8 days ago at the gym on a very reliable scale, the one with the sliders and exact weight measurements. I weighed in at 223. Today I weighed myself and to my surprise I weighed in at 216 pounds! To make sure I was right I took my time and double checked. It appears I have lost seven pounds. Two…

Help with Food!
So I am having a bit of a hard time eating relatively close to my goal calories. What is a good thing to eat that adds calories but not a lot of fat, carbs or sodium?

A question I do need help with
I just had a question about my calorie intake. My calorie goal for each day without exercise is 1700 calories. At the gym I roughly burn 400-600 calories a session. So my calorie intake for the day gets bumped up to 2100-2300. I have snacked and eaten a fair bit of food today and I finished my day at 1400 calories. Today…

Question from a Starter
My journal says I need to eat 1700 calories every day for weight loss. When I go to the gym I burn roughly 400-500 calories in one session. At the end of the day recently I have had about 1300 calories which included in the workout I am 500 shy of the goal. Is this deficit hurting my body and doing more harm than good?…
