Been on this journey for 2.5 years and still...
Hey all! I still need help after 2.5 years on this journey. I started losing weight in Jan 2011, and weighed 240. I lost my first 90 pounds within my first year. I felt lean and healthy- but in reality I know that I wasn't. I was doing cardio like a mad woman, not lifting weights, only eating 1,000 calories/day. I decided…

During the week or weekend?
Do you generally burn more calories during the week days or on the weekend and why? For me: I would say it varies.
