Working out twice a day?
Would working out twice a day be effective or just a waste of energy? I work 9-5 about 3 days a week, so I definitely have the time to go twice. I'm getting married in 2 months, I'm not trying to lose a million pounds by the time that comes around (I'm trying to be realistic) but I definitely want to do as much as I can.…

The scale and the number on it confuses me!
What time of day is best to weigh yourself? I started at 273 lbs. I weigh myself every 10-15 days and the last time I weighed myself was on Friday night. I weighed 263 lbs. Then I weighed myself on Saturday morning and all of a sudden I was 267!! How is this even possible? Does weight fluctuation happen at that wide of a…

"Eating Clean" vs Counting Calories
I am torn between eating completely clean (meats, veggies, fruits, no packaged foods, no artificial, no complex carbs or sugars) and counting calories. I've heard that eating completely clean is healthier (Paleo, to be exact), but counting calories is easier to make into a "lifestyle". I generally fluctuate between both.…

I love snacking!
I love snacking! Since I've changed my eating habits, I've been snacking much less than I use too. I still get cravings to snack while I'm at work (I don't usually snack at home). What is your go-to, low cal snack?! I need some ideas so I don;t reach for anything bad!

How many calories in one workout?
I have a Nike Fuel Band so it's pretty easy for me to track. If I'm working out for an hour, I try to burn at least 500. How many calories do you typically try to burn in one workout?

Working out...Where do you fit it in to your schedule?
I have a pretty hectic life. Working, school, church, boyfriend, friends. I want to start SCHEDULING work outs into my day because I know if I'm not intentional about working out I seriously won't do it. I usually have to be at work by 10, but I'm soooooo NOT a morning person and I hate waking up earlier than I have too. I…

UGH!!!!!!!! So frustrated.
I am becoming so frustrated, almost to the point where I do NOT want to do this ANYMORE! Why does weight fluctuate so much?!? I was just 263 and in a day or two I'm up to 267. I see the changes in my body, but I don't understand the constant fluctuations. It's making me feel like I'm doing something wrong and it's super…

Supplementation
Hey Everyone I was wondering if anyone on here uses supplements or fat burners to either help them get through a work out or to see results quicker. I took lipo 6 pills last year and lost 30 lbs in two months, but they made me so sick and insanely emotional so I stopped taking them and gained the weight back almost…

How many calories...FOR REAL.
My Fitness Pal says I should only consume 1430 calories daily. When I use iifym.com calorie counter. they're telling me 2100 to lose weight! I try to work out for about 60 minutes (sometimes more) 4 times a week. I am currently 262 with a goal weight of 180. What do you think? I'm not sure which one to follow and I…

A Little Discouraged
So I started here on MFP about 4 weeks ago and lost 6lbs. I was so proud because I've tried so many things. (Atkins, weight watchers, just eating salad, just eating clean) and I either a. wouldn't lose the weight or b. just couldn't stick to it cause it was way too dramatic and far fetched. I love MFP because it's sensible…
