How much water can your body retain after exercising?
I had a little bit of a shock today when I weighed myself in as I apparently gained 2.5 lbs over the week. I weigh myself weekly, wearing the same outfit at the same time so I was admittedly surprised. Aside from dinner, my diet has been pretty consistent for the past year. I eat the same snacks, breakfast and lunch…

Anyone else with under 20lb left to lose?
Hi! I'm a 25 year old woman, 5'10, SW was 173lb, CW is 159lb, GW is 145lb. I lose weight slowly, because I tend to get obsessive.

Patterns...
So I've been monitoring things as you do, and I've noticed that I tend to lose for 3-4 weeks really consistently, then nothing for 3-4 weeks, then lose again.... I know there is no right or wrong way for this to go and I've accepted this is mine, but I'm interested as to what other peoples patterns look like?

How Do YOU Cut Out Sodium?
How Do YOU Cut Out Sodium? I love the Dash seasonings re: cooking, but sodium is so MUCH MORE than cooking with salt, salting food of course. This is an important "homework assignment" from my Dr. Before my next visit on 11.9 Thanks! :)

Dizzy, again
Only at the end of the day, when I get up quickly from the couch (is there another way of getting up?), I've got these dizziness attacks again. They last for a few seconds, and sometimes even black out my eyesight. They only happen in the evening, when I settle down to rest. But not every day, but yesterday it was pretty…

Thoughts from the weekend

Peels, Cores, Pits, Etc.
When you enter a food by weight does that include the inedible bits - like a banana peel? I just had a Honeycrisp apple. It weighed 201 grams, but I didn't actually eat 201 grams of apple because I didn't eat the core. I know it's not a lot of calories, but I was just wondering!

I. F. Question
I’ve been interested in trying IF for a little while now, but as usual everything I read about it is contradictory. For example, one article states that when you fast, fat burning doesn’t happen. Instead- you burn off muscle mass. Others say you do burn fat. So I’m thoroughly confused!! I’m really active- playing hockey a…

Alli: 15g fat per meal?
Hello everyone! I just have a quick question about the weight loss aid Alli. Now before I get into it, I've read other threads on here regarding Alli, and instead of offering judgement-free helpful advice, I see some people just mock those who use/have used this pill, with snide remarks. So please, if you're going to do so…

Number of days logged in
My MFP says I've logged in 7 days in a row, but it's only been 2. I know that for sure. A week or so ago it said I had logged in 5 days in a row when I had only logged in 1 day. Has this happened to anyone else?
