Binge eating.
I don't know what's wrong with me. I've been doing so well, losing the weight, but I have now started to binge, and I'm scared. I've never went all out, like I know other people suffering from BED have. I am usually able to stop myself, but it's scary. I lose control and eat and eat and ignore my conscience. Which is…

Cardio vs Weight Training for fat loss
Should I focus my workouts on cardio or strength training? I have 10 lbs left to lose, and have been favoring cardio because of its calorie blasting nature. However, what are the benefits of strength training? Which one is better? Also, how do I figure out the correct calorie intake for weight lifting (it's not as easy to…

Breaking through a plateau
Hey all, I've lost 40 lbs and am nearing the end of my weight loss journey (certainly not my health journey) And I've hitched dreaded plateau! It's been over a month.... I actually ended up gaining 5 lbs from eating back overestimated calories burned at the gym, but I invested at a heart rate monitor which is astonishing…

The last 10 lbs!
The first 40 lbs melted off, and I am finally down to the last 10 lbs.... And I have been for a month. Why does it become so hard to lose the last bit of weight? I was able to come within 5 lbs of my goal, but increased excercise and food, gaining 5 lbs back. So now, I have 10 lbs to lose and I have no clue how to…

Post cheat day
So I took the past three days off, but I didn't eat uncontrollably. No more than 2500 a day, plus I went to the gym daily. However, I step on the scale today and I am up 7lbs! 7 lbs after 3 days?! What gives. Even after my bathroom stop this morning, I'm 7 lbs heavier. I know I ate more than usual but there is no way I ate…

Daily Calories vs Weekly Calories
Hey all, I excercise almost every day and often end up with a ton of 'extra calories'. Some days, I am famished and eat them all happily. Other days, I am not hungry nor in the mood to eat them back. Is it okay if I have a high calorie day, where I go over on calories, so long as I was below calories the rest of the week?…

Less than 800 NET calories
I workout about 5-6 times a week, burning 600-900 calories. I eat my BMR of 1500 and if I'm hungry ill eat some exercise calories. But I shy away from eating them all, in case of inaccuracies (I get my numbers from the machine at the gym). However, this often leaves me at a NET less than 800, although I'm eating about 1600…

More exercise = weight gain
I've upped my exercise to 5-6 times a week, burning 600-900 calories per workout. I eat 1500 calories plus most of my exercise calories back. But I've been gaining weight!!! It's been two weeks and I've jumped from 140-145. I highly doubt it's muscle because my face looks bloated too. Why am I gaining?! I'm eating at a…
