My body isn’t Amazon Prime-it won’t show up in two days. But when will it?
I know diet and exercise and change take time and commitment. But at what point do you adjust to see results? I’m overall a healthy person who regularly exercises (orange theory/CrossFit) and really watch carbs although not keto. But I still continue to hold so much fluff. Want some of the fluff gone by end of February.…

Burnt out. Don’t care. Need to care...
I am so tired of calorie counting. Macro counting. Weighing. Calculating. But the moment I don’t when I go in our weekend getaways, is a stressful week at work, or whatever, I gain exponentially. I do not go off the deep end and put every high cal thing or deep fried or sugar filled thing in my mouth. Yuck. I can’t even…

Huge weight swings
I am curious if other people experience such intense weight swings. I have some autoimmune conditions and a lot of inflammation which I'm sure contributes. I'm just unsure if that is the root cause of if this is normal. My weight last week after a couple of meals out and extra wine jumped up 6 pounds. Then came down 9…

Thighs bigger-fat or muscle?
I have recently lost weight and since then have been focusing on heavy lifting and focusing on body recomp with my increased CrossFit and hiit workouts. My thighs have gotten about 1/2"-1" larger. Is this probably fat gain or could it be muscle? I assume fat since muscle takes up less room than fat but wanted others…

Do you drink wine/alcohol and still maintain?
I've been on maintenance about 6 months and have gained a few pounds. My nutritionist says it's because I have two glasses of wine nightly. She has suggested I cut alcohol completely except once per week. I really don't care about other macros/junk food and otherwise eat a very clean diet but want to incorporate my wine…

Not drinking tonight:(
I'm trying to cut alcohol until I finally lose the last 8 lbs. But it's the first Saturday night I've been home in weeks. I'm trying to stay strong but boy sometimes willpower is tough to come by. So I'm having a yummy cup of coffee. Not quite the same but I want the loss more than the wine.

How many pounds a week do you try to lose?
I saw on MFP that as you get closer to your goal weight you should gradually drop your weekly weight loss goal. I wanted 2 lbs a week but only have 15 lbs to lose and wasn't losing. So I changed my weekly goal to 1 lb and it upped my calories to 1500 daily without exercise. Still not losing. I've been at 160 for the whole…
