Too much salt, but still low blood pressure?
I decided today that I have been eating too much sodium, and that's maybe why I am gaining weight rather than losing or staying steady. I've been consistently eating over 2,000 mg of sodium (sometimes more) per day for at least the last three weeks (that's as long as I have been tracking), very likely much longer than…

What to DO or NOT DO the day before weighing in?
So I've heard different things about the day before you "check in". Like not exercising to keep from retaining water, to only do liquid diet that day etc. What have you heard, and do you know if its true or not?

I get hungry in the middle of the night.
I've lost 45 lbs and I am currently 220 and 5'11. I work out 5 days a week. 10-30 mins of cardio (depending on the day) And 1-2 hrs of weight lifting (depending on the day). Well my problem is now in the middle of the night my body will wake me up and tell me to go eat something. Usually its something like nuts or a random…

Hit a wall
I wanted to post this to see what other people's experience was. I lost about 7 lbs in the first 3-4 weeks at a pretty good quick pace - I was very happy. However, for about two weeks now, I've hit a wall or plateau and no more weight loss. I'm consistently below my target calorie number by a at least 50-75 calories. I'm…

Better food choices
I found that looking through my food journal, I have been selecting or eating the wrong foods for breakfast and lunch. Even though I have been exercising( walking) at least 60 min four times a week. The weight isn't coming off. I need some suggestions on what I could eat for breakfast and lunch. I'm trying to acquire the…

Clothing Sizes
Didn't seem like there was a good place to put this, but it follows up on a discussion that I remember being a part of a while ago so I wanted to do so anyways. =) So there was a discussion (somewhere, at some point, lol) about our sizes in the US, and how everything is becoming bigger. People will say "well, Marilyn…

question about going over
Ayooo. So I know OBVIOUSLY it is not good and not to do it often, but is it okay if you go over your calories by 200-300 ONCE IN A WHILE? Like will that make me gain weight from doing it like once a week?

To eat exercise cals or not?
Wondering who eats their exercise cals and who doesn't, and has anyone seen a change in weight loss from eating them to not or vice versa!!!! Before I was eating some of them and was seeing a rapid weight loss. I started to feel weak and raised my cals, and added more protein into the diet. I believe a week or 2 ago I…

loose skin
I am slowly, but surely approaching my goal weight. I had 2 babies back to back, and gained 50 lbs with each pregnancy. Obviously my skin stretched a lot, and I gained that weight pretty fast. So now that I'm almost down to my goal weight I have lots of loose skin. It's not Biggest Loser type loose skin, not pounds and…

What do you track?
On your "Food" section. Currently, I track calories, carbs, fat, sodium and sugar... but I would like to have Fiber on there too... So I was just curious on what everyone else tracks in their diary...

Just started 26 day HCG ~ any tips?
So I just started the 26 day HCG program. No carbs, just llean protein, some veggies & fruits. Luckily most of my favorite fruits and veggies are on the plan. But I'm afraid salad is going to get old really quick. I have also increased my water intake to 3 liters of water a day. That was always hard for me, drinking more…

Started to consume exercised calories and stopped losing wei
Hi Everyone, As soon as I started to consume the exercised calories, I stopped losing weight. I was fine before (at 1500 cal/day) but I kept reading about how important it was to "consume what my body needed after exercising." What the heck? Remind me again why I should? I was doing just fine. Thanks. : )

Losing weight has nothing to do with food
Let me inject some ideals with everyone in this weight loss community. First of all, I’m not an expert dietician, counselor or trainer. What I am is an ex-pro athlete that has battled weight loss for most of my life, until recently. Approximately 2 to 21/2 years ago I stumbled on some truths that I would like to share with…

Girl's Night, Junk Food Fright!
Okay, so childish as it is, my friend is having a good old fashioned sleepover for her birthday. Uh oh, I know what this means. Sweets, chocolate, ice cream, popcorn (the bad kind :/ ), fizzy drinks galore. Not to mention what we'll eat for breakfast the next day! Now, I can't exactly say no to the junk as it's sort of a…

How to quit?
I have been smoking for over three years now. It has mostly been a few a day, however i have gone weeks into monthes smoking a pack a day. I have tried to quit cold turkey at least 20 times.

Meridia
Just a comment I have often seen folks talk about diet pills on MFP, and it always makes me sad. I don't usually comment because it is such an emotional issue for me. My father died in the 1970's - his heart was adversely affected by the diet pills his doctor prescribed to him. He had a massive heart attack and died in…

Im just wondering if anyone here has tried it and can recommend doing it or not. No one at work has lost any weight yet or been doing the diet long…

Candy Corn and Peanuts
One of my great joys of Halloweens past was the combination of candy corn and peanuts. The combo tastes like a Payday candybar and I could mindlessly munch an entire bowl over the course of a day. I just opened some candy corn for the candy dish, and popped one into my mouth with two dry roasted peanuts. Then I went to…
