Does clean eating really make a difference for you?
Do you guys really see a difference when you eat clean vs. not eating clean (but still sticking to your daily calorie restriction)? I hear a lot of people say that they can eat unhealthy and lose weight as long as they have a calorie deficit, and eating clean doesn't make a difference. Does it make a difference for you? Do…

Anyone else have big thighs?
My thighs disgust me so much. They have always been big and I hate it, and they are like disproportional to the rest of me. It's been so hard to get them to shrink down, they've only shrunk an inch after months of dieting and exercising (although I have mostly been yo-yo dieting until recently) The fat on there doesn't…

Weight lifting calorie burn
Do you guys log weight lifting calories? I normally use my HRM when I lift but I just recently discovered that HRM aren't accurate for lifting. So do you guys log a rough estimate of calories you burn through weight lifting or completely disregard the calories you burn?

How many carbs should I be eating?
So I've been having a hard time lowering my body fat % so I'm wondering if I need to lower my carb intake? I usually eat around 150+ g a day.

What is wrong with my polar ft4 hrm? ):
So I noticed that my heart rate wasn't nearly as high as it normally was but I just thought it was me. But as I'm working out now I noticed my heart rate would stay really low, or suddenly switch to a really high heart rate, or a really low one, or it will get stuck on a certain heart rate and won't change. I don't…

Losing 2 lbs a week/small amount of weight left to lose
Why can't you lose 2 lbs a week if you have a small amount of weight left to lose? Is it possible at all to lose 2 lbs a week when you have 10 - 15 lbs left to lose?

Feeling so hopeless and discouraged :/
I feel like I'm never going to get the body I want. It seems like no matter what I do nothing makes a difference. I don't want to lose a bunch of weight, since I'm at a healthy weight, but I just want to decrease my body fat percentage.. it's currently at 24% and I'd like to get it down to about 16% for now, and I want to…

How many calories should I be eating?
So I'm currently eating 1200 a day to lose 2 pounds a week. I heard that you shouldn't eat below your BMR, and mine is 1433. Should I be eating that many calories a day, and will I still lose weight? If so, should I eat that many and exercise, and still eat back the calories I burn off from exercising, or no? Or should I…

Should I eat the calories I burned from exercise?
So I am eating 1200 calories a day to lose 2 pounds a week. I exercise everyday on average I will burn 800 calories but sometimes even up to 3,500 since I like to take extensive hikes as well which burns a ton of calories. So should I be consuming the calories I burn from exercise, or at least some of them? Because I don't…
