Tracking help?
Hi! Does anyone have advice for efficient yet accurate logging? I have some medical things that make real-time logging difficult. And, as an ED warrior, the rigidity of pre-logging can be triggering. So I usually log whenever I I can carve a quiet moment (at the end of the day). Unfortunately, since COVID-19, I’ve had to…

How do you define "Curvy?"
I wasn't exactly sure where to put this, but I figured there would be plenty of differing opinions so here we are. I recently discovered (within the last year or so) that I'm not on the same page as a lot of people when I describe myself as "curvy." To me, a woman s curvy if there is a significant bust:waist and/or…

Am I not eating enough?
Since the quarantine, I've been paying closer attention to how long my recipes last. I noticed that I'll cook something that's supposed to be 2-4 servings but it will last at least twice as many meals. Except for seasonings (e.g., spices, garlic onion, herbs), I measure and/or weigh all of the ingredients for accuracy.…

Seeking advice (but not really)
I don’t belong to any WL social groups (map doesn’t really count because we all have different health goals) but every once in a while, someone will post a question because they want to lose weight. However, they give a “yeah...but” response to most replies or don’t react to air-tight advice. My first reaction is that they…

Vegetarian (not vegan) Protein Hacks
I’ve been craving protein for the last two days but I’m out of eggs, tofu, TVP and Seitan. I only have dried beans on hand. Is there anything I can do (short of drinking a gallon of milk) to curb the craving until I can get to the grocery store? TIA!

Lower body fat percentage without losing/gaining weight?
I hope this is the right place for this query. Most of my life, I've been a high BMI/low BFP person. At 5'10" I felt most comfortable in the 175-180 range and when I've dipped below 170, I looked emaciated (and often accused of having an active ED). Well, a few years ago, I got really sick (cancer, etc.) and gained a lot…

Ambushed with a "Friendtervention" Today
So my friends cornered me to complain that they never see me because I'm always working out. The thing is that my workout schedule hasn't changed that much in two years. I switched yoga studios so, instead of taking three yoga classes and eight gym classes each week, I take 11 yoga classes and two gym classes + the Senior…

Struggling with body image
I know this is long so if you want to just skip to the end (that starts "long story short"), I won't get When I started thinking about "being fit," my primary objective was to lower my BFP (body fat %). Once upon a time, I was an internationally ranked athlete. FF some years, I'm battling cancer, only minimally active and…

My Size is Hazardous to OTHERS' Health
Nothing annoys me more than the "good for you"s I get after a class or when I'm commuting to or from the gym. But today, I got a little laugh. I got to my regular Yoga class a little late. There were a bunch of new people so the only spot available was in the front near the instructor. I had to change my mat position to…
