How does lack of sleep and stress slow down weight loss?
Since my daughter started teething and I stopped sleeping I've been exhausted, irritable and incredibly stressed. The scale hasn't budged either. I know that people who are sleep deprived tend to eat more but I'm still tracking my food so I know I'm not eating more than I was previously. So what happens in the body to stop…

Pear shaped women, how long did it take to start seeing a lo
No matter how much I weigh I've always been a pretty noticable pear but this is getting ridiculous. I've gone from an XL to almost a medium on top but my hips/butt/thighs haven't budged. I know that lower body fat is stubborn but how long will it take before I stop looking like the top half and bottom half belong to 2…

Which number sounds right?
I'm attempting to figure out my TDEE. I've tried 4 different calculators now and they're all giving me a completely different number, the lowest had me at 2300 the highest at 3600.

What just happened here?
Since starting 6 weeks ago I've been losing 2lb a week on average. At the beginning of last week I decided to switch from my usual 5K walks to 30DS. I only did it for 2 days before I remembered why I hate working out to videos and went back to walking. On Monday and Tuesday I did the Shred, on Wednesday I weighed in 2lbs…

What would you eat after dental surgery?
I'm going in to have my wisdom teeth removed this morning (all 4 at once) and I'm reading over the after care sheet they gave me. The suggested foods list has soup on it but other than that it's mainly things like ice cream, jello and pudding. I don't want to live on soup for the next 3 days but I don't think ice cream…
