Looking for accountability
Hi. A couple of years ago I lost 30 pounds through calories and exercise, and found LCHF and after doing it felt so much better and my weight was dropping off. I started college and birthcontrol pills(No idea if they are affecting anything such as weight loss, had to switch pills multiple times now because their side…

Binge side affects?
Alright, it was my birthday a few days ago and I got snowed in at a friend's apartment for a few days. So, I ate. I ate a lot. Lol. I'm not happy to say it, but I ate a lot of carbs and sweets, and had milk. I started feeling really sick, and had some major intestinal distress. This may be tmi, but I just want to see if…

Hungry after working out
I try to keep my net carbs under 50g, mainly around 20-25g, and I've just recently started working out. I have only been doing about 30 minutes on an elliptical, but today I started weights. I'm starting out lightly, and not overdoing it. So, I spent about an hour in the gym. I got back to my dorm, and was hit an hour…

Pizza
I'm in college, living in a dorm, so I don't have many options for food. I was wondering, for Papa Johns, I can order a pizza, get it without sauce, and just add cheese and toppings to it, probably sausage and chicken. If I just scrape the cheese and toppings off the crust, and only eat that, will there be too many carbs…

Hypothyroid Blood Test Help
I started going to the doctor a couple of months ago, and had extreme fatigue and tons of other things. We did a blood test and I'm anemic. We got that fixed, along with the Vitamin D problem, but now I went to a gastro for some stomach problems and I told her my symptoms and she thought I was hypothyroid. MY mother was,…

Carb Sensitivity?
I find when I eat more carbs, 100 to 150 even, I get really sick and bloated. Do people have carb sensitivities? Anything else it could be?

Won't budge
My weight hasn't changed since November. I haven't noticed a change in my body at all. I'm 5'8, 153-158 pounds. I am 18 years old. I'm trying to take in at least 1550 calories per day. I am trying to stay under 100 grams of carbs per day, and get at least 100 grams of protein(That doesnt happen though.) Fats, I try to stay…

Do I eat back those excersize calories or not?
I keep seeing posts, and I read through them, and they say to eat the calories you burned from exercising back. But, I really don't understand. Say, for my case, I eat 1200 to 1500 calories a day. Maybe I did cycling that day, and burn around 600 calories. Do I eat those back? I just don't see how if you eat those, then…

Weight Fluctuations
Don't you just hate it when one day you get on the scale, and it shows your weight went down, and then the next day you get on, and it shows like, a 3 pound increase? Lol I constantly have to say to myself, it's water weight silly. I've had high sodium. I'm sore. I feel bad. For anyone else who gets discourage by weight…

BMR
So, I recently(Yesterday) set my net calorie goal to be a bit above my BMR. Is this okay? I feel like it is eating a lot, compared to how much I ate a month ago, but since then I've been raising how much I eat. I've heard that you shouldn't eat below your BMR, but between it and your TDEE. What's your opinion?

Sleep
How many hours do you need to sleep a night? And if you don't sleep that amount, will it hinder your weight loss? What about if you sleep too much? I know, calories in, calories out determines weight loss, but does sleep have anything to do with it at all? I can't seem to find enough time to sleep some days, and then…

Water!
You need water. I get it. That's all I ever drink(aside from the occassional glass of almond milk; mainly for protein smoothies), and some green tea, but that's practically water, right? Anyways, I was just wondering, why do we need water? Is it better to drink a lot of water? Does it help with weightloss in anyway?( I…

Protein Goals
I've been seeing a lot of protein posts lately. Does protein reallly affect your weightloss? I've noticed that if I don't reach around 90 to 100 g of protein a day then I kind of sit at a stall(Calories normally have to be around 1500 for me to lose any weight as well.) Anyone else experience this? :) I was just curious.…

I don't get it
Alright. It just amazed me how different people are. Some people drop weight so fast, then there's other people (like me), who seem to take a millennium to lose one pound. I see all of these People saying that started in June, and have lost 20 to 30 pounds. I started myfitnesspal in August, and I've lost 8 pounds. I keep…

Is this bad?
Everyday I eat different amount of calories. My goal is around 1300 to 1400, but some days I may come in at 1200, and others may be 1600. It varies. Ill always be below maintenance, so it should not matter, right?
-
Sodium
I realize that if you have a really bad sodium day then you normally gain some water weight and keep it on for a few days because of the salt. I was just wondering how long does your water weight after a bad sodium day normally stay? How many days does it take for it to come off? I don't care about the weight gain or…

Need some support..
I hate having to ask for support, but I really do need it. Everyday, I get done with my highschool life, and I come home to a house filled with unhealthy junk food and crap. I manage to eat right though... Well, I started working out and eating better starting back in April, I lost 20 pounds by June or so. And now, for…

Weight plateau?
In late April I was 178 llbs. I cut out sodas and junk food and got down to 168, and for the past couple of months I weight train every other day and took a few zumba and hip-hop ab classes. I didn't really do cardio much, but for the past 3 or 4 weeks every day I try to walk at least 3 miles. I'm only down to 164, and I…

Veggies?
So, last night I went to the grocery and bought some vegetables. I was really going to try some. "They" always says that a healthy body is made in the kitchen, and vegetables are very important. Well, today, I tried eating some... Ugh. I could not. They just do not appeal to me. I can not find any vegetables I like. At.…
