Does Stevia make you hungrier and crave sugar more?
For those of you on low sugar/no added sugar diets have you noticed that trying to use replacement sugar makes you want the real thing MORE? I notice every time I eat something with stevia in it I am hungrier then ever! Or maybe its just a coincidence? Wondering if anyone else notices that. I hope that's not the case…

How many times did you "relapse" before you finally kept the weight off long term?
I am feeling SO frustrated and angry and disgusted with myself. This is like the THIRD time I have backslid and gained the same 20 pounds. I got down to 172 which is 2 pounds away from goal and now I am back up to 196. I am on track again, but eventually it has to click forever right???

What's the most weight you've gained during a "backslide",binge, fail week,etc.??
I don't mean someone trying to gain, I mean from going totally off your plan and just eating whatever you want and not caring for a while. In 2 weeks of going off my plan I have gained 8.2 pounds. Now that I've "woke up" I am so guilty and sick of myself. I hope it doesn't take 2 weeks to lose these 8 pounds. :(

Spaghetti Substitute?
I make Spaghetti for my family a lot. The meatsauce is already low cal because it is lean venison, but I can't bring myself to eat the starchy, high cal noodles. Has anyone found a low-cal or low-carb sub noodle or something not even noodley?

5'8" Women weight goal?
It seems like everywhere I look the goal of 5'8" women is 115-145, why does this seem incredibly low to me? It seems like I am the only one who has a goal that is 160! I'd be happy with 165 too, but 160 is my ultimate lowest of low goal. Now I'm starting to second guess myself, I'm I setting the bar too low? Am I supposed…

Help! Is there a way to stop Plantar Faciitis in it's tracks!?
I've been starting to run in the past couple months and have been taking it slow, but in the past week I've been pushing myself a little harder than I probably should. Yesterday I felt a twinge of heel pain, and this morning I felt the all too familiar pain! I went through plantar faciitis a couple years ago and it was…

Not so pretty, but amazingly filling breakfast
This is what I've been eating for breakfast and it keeps me full for 3 hours! I think because of the complex carbs, protein, and different sources of healthy fats. Try it! It really is delicious. -ezekiel toast -1/8 cup ground raw almonds -1tsp coconut oil -1 T ground flax seeds, mix together to make a spread 228 calories

Tennis shoes causing blisters on only one side?
Every pair I've had rubs my right heel raw! Do you think this has something to do with my stride? Can anyone one recommend an awesome pair of walking/running shoes that DON'T cause blisters?

Stalled. What do I do next? HELP
I don't know what to do!? I have been on a weight loss journey for over year now. I went from 215 to 172 and now I am back up to 175. I have been going up and down a couple pounds for months now, and it's not because I don't know what to do, it's because I'm not doing it! I need to eat around 1400-1600 cals and get some…

5'8" 40 pound loss side by side comparison
August 2012- 213 pounds April 2015- 173 pounds I lost the majority of the weight in the last year.

Counting calories was a total game changer! My goal weight is…

Pelvis injury/crooked pelvis and exercising?
Wondering if anyone out there is dealing with something similar? My pelvis went completely out of whack after pregnancies and labor that involved shoulder dystocia (baby getting stuck and essentially pulled out by force, sorry TMI) X-rays showed my pelvis at a considerable tilt that causes terrible pain. Chiros, PT, etc.…

Anyone else have skipped heartbeats/irregular/fluttering heartbeats while exercising intensely?
This happens to me pretty often and my doctor said it was normal if you're out of shape, but I don't really consider myself out of shape anymore and it keeps happening, today on the tread-climber I was at a really high heart rate and my heart "tha-THUMP-thumped" and made me gasp. I don't like that! Makes me not want to…

No more alcohol until New Years Eve, anyone else with me?
It may not seem long to most people, but for someone who imbibes a few times a week I think it is going to make a big difference. My weight loss is plateaued, alcohol calories usually send me over the edge of my goal. The day after I drink, I want crappy food, and I have NO energy. So I am ready to do a no alcohol for two…

It's a non-linear process- picture of my weight chart
Just thought some other people would be interested in what a 3 month weight loss journey really looks like. TONS of ups and downs. I chart my weight every day and when I go up 2 or 3 pounds I freak out, but looking back I see it's perfectly normal. This is a loss of about 14 pounds.

Bad Day. Need good words!
I am cold and hungry and tired today. I haven't stopped eating since 9am and my cals are at just under 1000, which means I have a couple hundred calories to last me the rest of the day. Not gonna happen. So I should exercise. Doing a workout DVD sounds so impossible right now, my whole body is sore from yesterdays…

How much weight should I lose? [pic]
I am 5' 8" and 183 in the photo. BMI charts say I am overweight(obviously) and my healthy range is 122-164. That is crazy to me. Could I really lose 61 pounds and still be considered healthy? I can't see where it would come off on my frame. But I don't want to hit my second goal (1. 180# 2. 170#) and still look pudgy and…
