Is it bad to be over calorie if the calories are from extra veggies?
I just don't know if It's more important to focus on nutrients or calories in this case.

My plateau is ruining my confidence and self esteem.
I've successfully lost 60 pounds, yay me. But I have 40-70 more to go and recently hit a plateau. Not only do I not understand WHY I've stopped losing, as I obviously know how, but it's completely killing my motivation and confidence. The longer it goes on the more pointless trying to watch what I eat seems, and while I…

47 pounds down... I can't believe it. >< PICS
So I'm only about halfway to goal weight (and then toning and all that fun stuff) but I only today was finally able to see the difference in myself. It feels surreal... I grew up as the fat kid, and honestly didn't think I would stick with any of this, but less than a year later and I'm drawing on 50 pounds down? It's so…

I've lost nearly 30 pounds and can't see it...
Hi everyone! I decided to take pics today to compare to my starting weight because I've come so close to losing 30 pounds, but... I just can't see much difference. :( How do you deal with that? It almost feels like there is no point if I'm never going to look any different (even though I know that's not true).

I don't think i've been eating more than usual or anything, so I…

Don't know what to do!
Hi everyone! I only started on this fitness adventure a couple weeks ago, and have started very small, going to the gym 3 times a week for 30 minutes. I didn't lose anything (I stayed about the same), but I've only just started counting calories and trying to eat better yesterday - I'm mostly just proud of myself for going…

I'm really tired?
So this is only my third day counting my calories and reaching for 1200 or less a day. Starting yesterday evening, I got extremely lethargic and tired, and my gut is telling me it's because of what I ate the two days before. Is this normal? Is this good? I don't feel like it's good, but I don't want to eat more either,…

Measuring pasta?
I scanned in the pasta I was eating with the barcode scanner and it said '1 cup' so I measured out 1 cup of dry pasta, but now I'm second guessing what I ate. Did it mean 1 cup cooked? How can you tell?

Hi there!
Hola! My name is Alexa. I've never really tried to get healthier or anything before, but I finally found the motivation to do so in the last few weeks and I thought that joining this site might help even more. :) Feel free to add me as a friend or whatnot, I think it helps motivate me to see other people doing well. :)
