Okay, so this is only a portion of my code, but what I have to do is have the user enter their weight, and then choose from options like eat cake, pizza, work out, and a few others. If they choose eat easy work out, they enter the number of hours they worked out, and then they're new weight and amount of weight lost. When printed, the weight is only the number calculated and not the weight minus the weight burned. How do I fix this?

int easyWorkOut(int weight){
    int easyWorkOut = 0;
    int weightLostEasyWO = 0; 
    printf("How many hours did you work out?");
    scanf("%d", easyWorkOut);
    weightLostEasyWO = easyWorkOut * 0.025; 
    weight = weight - weightLostEasyWO;
    return weight;
    printf("Your current weight is %d pounds.  You lost %d pounds.  \n", weight, weightLostEasyWO);
    pause;
} //end easyWorkOut

int weightEntered(){
    int weight = 0;
    printf("Please Enter Your Weight: ");
    scanf("%d", &weight);

} //end of weightEntered

I think in posting only a "portion" of the code, you've edited it into nonsensicalness. Could you post more code, or ideally, a small but complete program that exhibits the problem.

When printed, the weight is only the number calculated and not the weight minus the weight burned.

are you talking about variable weightLostEasyWO... i'm confused
if so the variable weightLostEasyWO scope only exists on that function, either make it a global variable or declare it at main and pass it by reference to the func., etc.
or it could be that in main your not saving the value returned by the function easyworkOut

also @ line 8 all code after the return statement will be ignored

This is the entire code

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#define pause system("pause")
#define cls system("cls")

//Prototype functions here
  void displayMenu();
  char getUserChoice();

  int easyWorkOut();
  int weightEntered();

Do you mean in this line?
printf("Your current weight is %d pounds. You lost %d pounds. \n", weight, weightLostEasyWO);

That line will never be reached because the function returns before that point. Some of your other functions don't return anything at all, you've got int values trying to store what presumably you mean to be float values ( weightLostEasyWO = easyWorkOut * 0.025; , for example - weightLostEasyWO is an int, so what do you think its value will be if easyWorkOut is, for example, 12?), and nothing in your code even calls the function easyWorkOut. You've also got variables with the same names as functions, which isn't going to do you any favours for legibility.

You're also frequently using scanf wrongly. scanf("%d", hardWorkOut); for example. That second parameter should be a pointer. In your code it is the int zero, which will be interpreted as a pointer and will cause a segFault when you try to write over memory that is not yours.
