Guaranteed way to lose body fat in one day!
If you have a scale which measures your body fat, weigh yourself before a bath. Then weigh yourself after and hey presto! You’ll have probably lost up to 10% fat! No the bath hasn’t melted it away. There’s been a few posts recently about people being discouraged because their scales aren’t showing fat loss - just weight.…

Anyone else experienced this phenomenon?
My kids and I went to one of the large "agritainment" farms where they had a huge apple orchard and we picked our own apples. The apples were expensive, but I forgot how much better fresh, local apples taste than store-bought. Anyway, we "had" to buy the apple cider donuts. I don't care much for them anyway, but had one…

Old Fashioned
So, my DH has decided I am a throwback to a previous generation. I will use the broom to sweep my kitchen instead of the vacuum. I hang my clothes out to dry on my reel-in clothes line.

Mini pill and water retention (one for the girls)
Hi all. I went onto Noriday a month ago and overnight my weight jumped by 1kg and has refused to change since. I am assuming it's water retention although my doc laughed and suggested I was just eating more (pretty sure it's impossible to gain that overnight), and I have a very fixed diet. Since I have been cutting back…

6 more pounds to lose, can I go ahead and buy clothes or will they become too loose?
Hello, MFP community! I've been on a long weight loss journey. I have lost 106 pounds and only have 6 more to go. I am in desperate need of new clothes.

Weight fluctuations
For the most part I am staying within the calories it is showing allowed for any given day to meet my goal. I am always at a deficit and trying to adjust my eating to get closer to that number (usually at least 500 short). What I am finding though is that on days I exercise, the next day I will be up 1-2 pounds. For…

Mid February marked my first weightlossaversary. On my final check-in for my first year I lost 158 pounds.

For me the journey is not over but it should be mostly done on my second anniversary. I have been…
