Doctor vs nutritionist vs dietitian
Would I first have to go through a doctor to speak with someone? Is it even worth going? Long story short – after I stopped taking Prozac I have not lost a single pound in over 3 months. I am still 40 lbs over weight. I am vegan (lactose intolerant, meat makes me feel ill), eat 1,500 a day plus cardio + strength training…

Living at home vs on your own
Hi~ I am 23 years old and currently still live at home. I am moving out in the fall, and I was wondering to those who are moved out do you find it easier or harder to lose weight while living at home/being on your own? For me, I initially lost 100 lbs but was making my family rather irritated at all the food I was…

How much protein?
Hi- I am on the last leg of my journey (almost 2 years now) and I recently started using protein powder to help curve my appetite. Each scoop has 16g of protein and I use two scoops a day. Issue being it never fills me up? I am hungry always an hour after. I do also eat with it, smoothies or something small like an apple.…

Been over calories frequently
I've lost 85 of the 110 pounds I need to loose. I wake up at 6am for work and don't get home until 6pm and usually don't have energy to go to to the gym, and if I do it's late at night. I try to stay under my calories during the week, but the weekends I'm always a bit (400-700) calories over my goal. My current goal is…

Prozac, running and low calorie diet
I've been on 20mg of Prozac for about 2 months now, and I haven't had much of an appetite. I before I get hate messages I am averaging 1000 calories a day, when I should be having 1500. The doctor said loss of appetite was a side effect and would eventually go away. I run four miles five days a week. Since I began Prozac I…

Three month plateau.
Hello everyone. I am 22 and currently weigh 205. I lost 70 pounds this year. I began a new birth control back in October and my weight loss completely stopped. I run five days a week, because I deal with depression my doctor said it's the best course of action for me. So I run around 4-5 miles. I also eat my calorie limit,…

Birthday cheat day
I've plateaued for almost almost three months now because of my birth control. I've lost 70 pounds this year and tomorrow is my birthday. Everyone is telling me not to have a cheat day. I've only ever once in the year I've been on here had one cheat day back in june. Should I have one or stick it out? I'm concerned about…

Hormons and Birth Control
I feel like I am the only one having this issue! I went to the Gyno yesterday and explained that ever since he switched my birth control I haven't lost weight (it's been nearing 3 months, and yes I changed my calories/work-outs/diet/ect already) I had been on a 10mg earlier this year which I was on since I was 17 (21 now)…

When people are not supporitve
I can say that I have gotten a good handful of support through this, but at the same time I've had an equal number of negative comments. They range from 'you need to treat yourself once and a while, you're not really living. You worry too much about how many calories a snack is, just eat it!' or 'you look thin enough,…

Birth control and weight loss
Hello! I began my journey in January of 2015 and all the way up until June I had lost a total of 51 pounds. Due to unforeseen circumstances I could not get birth control and have been off of it since June. I have also hit two major plateaus during that time (even with changing absolutely everything up from work out to diet…

New to strength trainging
So, I hit a plateau back in June, and I was desperate to break out of it. It took me a month until my boyfriend finally convinced me to do strength training with him I broke out of my plateau in July, and during that month and the first 2 weeks of August I lost about ~13 pounds (since January I have lost 58). I only do…

Planet Fitness?
Well, I went to the docs and didn't like the number on the scale. I went up to the rec center today for the first time and began walking. Everyone says to not over do it but I walked at a pace of 3.0 for 40 minutes and could have kept going. There is a planet fitness by my house and I was thinking of doing that 10$ a month…

Cheat Weekend and Weight Gain
I have been on a low calorie diet (1800 per day) since January and have lost 46 pounds . I went to Vegas on Friday until Monday morning and I deemed that as my first and only cheat weekend during my weight loss journey. I have never been over my calories before that and I felt it was time to indulge. So the weekend went…

Periods and working out (girls only)
I have been on Lo-Lostergen FE since I was 17 (so almost 4-5 years now) and I began working out in January. I started on the pill because I wasn't getting my period-I was only getting it maybe once every 6 months. So whatever I go on the pill and it was never regular but there were times I wouldn't get it for a few months,…

Pant sizes
So it's been 17 weeks now, and I have lost officially 40 pounds. I am 21, 5'5 and I currently weigh 234. I wear a size 18 at old navy or a 22 at h&m (no muffin top though) I have not lost one pant or shirt or bra size within the 40 pounds I have lost. No one has noticed. I don't even notice in the mirror. When did you all…

1200 calories a day for women
I know that I look at some of my friends (on here) and read their calorie intakes, I just don't understand how it's possible to eat until 1,200 calories for a woman and remain healthy. Do doctors really recommend 1,200 a day for women or is everyone just trying to loose weight fast?

Best scale?

No energy
So I have been working out for 13 weeks now and I have expected to have more energy than I did when I was just going about my business eating whatever. I have 0 energy all the time. I do not have kids, I work 30 hours a week (which isn't that much since half the time I am in an office job) I live at home so I don't have…

When did you first begin to loose pant sizes
This is month 3 for me. I have lost almost 30 pounds. I was 274, now I am about 245. I am 5' 5'' female, 21 years old. I have yet to loose a pant size or to notice any change at all. So when did you begin to drop sizes? Like what month or weight. I am curious. I am at a 18 right now (at old navy) (or a 22 at H&M :/ )

Can't count calories correctly
I am having a huge problem counting calories. I live at home with my parents and siblings. The problem I am having is that there have been family issues recently (deaths) and relatives want to keep taking us out to dinner and catching up. Which is cool, problem being the restaurants that they pick end up having NO calorie…

Weight loss slowed down
I am kind of a paranoid person as it is I was doing great the first 9 weeks, you can see on my ticker I lost 26 pounds But now I just stopped loosing weight, everyone said that once the water weight is off that it will slow down, but I am no where close to any kind of healthy goal of sorts. Has this happened to any one of…

Lossing weight too quickly?
This is week 7 of my weight loss, and everyone is telling me I am loosing weight too fast. I want to loose a total of somewhere around 100ish pounds, and so far I lost 24. I eat about 1500-1900 calories daily, and I am not starving. I also attend the gym 6 days a week for an hour doing cardio. I do not want loose skin, any…

I stopped loosing weight?
This is week 7 into my working out. I have lost 20 pounds so far and I weight 254 as of now.

I have not cheated on my diet and I do cardio six days a week for an hour or more I usually eat like 1400-1800…

Hurting myself biking
The weather is getting warmer and I would like to try biking outdoors more instead of at the gym. I biked for 90 minutes yesterday around my city so it wasn't like a hard bike peddling, since most of my city consist of a grave yard an a few roads. I was feeling fine, no pain. I went to sleep yesterday night and I was…

Confusion on Calories
I really want to loose weight, and so far I lost 15 pounds. I keep reading online that for women you need to only eat 1200 calories a day. That's starvation to me. So I decided that I used an online calculator to see what my weight is now and how many calories my body burns naturally which roughly rounded to 2990 So if I…

Treadmill Incline Question
I have been looking everywhere online and cannot seem to find an answer. I go to planet fitness, and I set the incline to 11.0, and everything online says that it's about percentage. Well what does the 11.0 incline mean in percentage? Does anyone know where I can get a conversion chart or know off the top of their head the…
