Difficult having perfect calories every day
Hi all, I need some advice/words of wisdom/help. I'm struggling to lose weight at the moment. I've done it before so I know counting works. But I've been in a plateau and I think it's my food choices. Some days I'm under and some days I'm over. It's not super perfect but I feel like it's keeping me from continuing and…

Difficult-to-count foods
Do you ever have a hard time with counting certain foods? Like eating out, eating at a party, not knowing the calorie amounts or ingredients, or measuring out cooked vs. uncooked foods (I'm looking at you, quinoa). Today was just extra rough and counting just feels a little more stressful to the point where I want to saw…

Exercising before or after work?
Hey all, Recently my schedule has changed and it's been hard trying to figure out what's a good time to exercise. I used to have an hour lunch break and I'd exercise at that time which was a perfect way to beat afternoon grogginess. I literally had nothing else to do with that free hour! I don't have that long lunch break…

Standing Desks, what do you think about them?
Just recently my doctor prescribed a standing desk at work for my back problems. So far I've been reading up and seeing all the benefits of standing instead of sitting during the work day, it even burns calories! Have you tried a standing desk and what did you think of it? Did you like it or did you dislike it?

Meal Shakes: What’s your eating schedule?
Hey everybody, I just got back into meal replacement shakes. I was trying to have them for lunch but I can barely make it through the day! If you drink meal replacement shakes, which meal do you replace? Are your other 2 meals large or do you space out the calories? TIA!

FASTING, love it or hate it?
What is everyone's opinion on fasting? It's something I've never tried before, do y'all love it or hate it? Why or why not??

For Success, What Mentally Changed For You?
I think this is a very interesting and important topic to weight loss: the mental change. It's common knowledge that exercise and diet leads to success but A LOT (if not most) is a mental fight to get there. If you were successful, what changed mentally during your journey and what helped you in that area?

Fruit and sugar?
Hi all, Lately I've been adding more fruits and veggies to my diet. But as I've been eating more fruit I've also been going over my daily allowance for sugar. Is this something to worry about or should I completely ignore it? Obviously an apple's sugar is different from a chocolate bar's sugar. I just hate seeing the red…

How do I stay strong? :'/
I'm feeling super down so any advice and support would be so much appreciated. I spent some time eating so well! I counted everything and my weight felt like it was melting off. Then I had a really stressful week at work and I threw everything out the window. I didn't count a single thing, stuffed my face, and I gained it…

Fuel for a hot day of exercising
Hey everyone! I need advice on how to fuel and prepare myself for exercising on a really hot summer day. I do drum corps on the weekends and this weekend is supposed to be 97 degrees. We exercise really hard and sweat really hard. So my problem is we consume a lot of gaterade (and water of course) and it seems like it's A…

Not losing weight?
I'm on day 3 of Insanity and I've actually gained a pound or two. Is that all the water from the workouts? because I have been eating only the meals in the book, drinking a ton during the work outs, and logging all my calories right in MFP. I usually have only 3 meals a day instead of the 5 because it fills me up. What's…

Sweet tooth without the sweets
So I have a major sweet tooth and idk how to satisfy it without eating something chocolatey or grabbing a scoop of peanut butter. And my sweet tooth hits me every night! I know it's ok to have a little something now and then but not every night. What should I do? Is there anything healthier I should substitute it with or…
