Dehydration can lead to obesity
I've always had issues with not drinking enough water. Growing up, I was more partial to juice and soda (of course, the highly addictive junk infused with High Fructose Corn Syrup). I figured stuff like that was liquid, therefore would keep me hydrated. I now can't go without at least 4-5 16 oz bottles of water a day and…

Im SO annoyed =(
I havn't eaten chocolate, cheese or crisps in over 4 weeks. I've been sticking to 1200-1300 calories a day and been going to the gym at least 6 times a week. I thought i'd weigh myself to see how much i've lost... I've put on a pound! I feel like screaming!

7 pounds in 2 days??!!
Hi everyone, I started on My Fitness Pal on Monday morning after a surprising and unpleasant weigh-in at the gym. On Monday morning I stood naked on the scale and weighed 147. That was about 5-10 pounds heavier than I expected, so I decided to start a diet that day. On Monday and yesterday I hunkered down and ate way fewer…

Is this really a lifestyle change for you?
I've seen a few people who hit their final goal and then ask how to maintain without counting calories. If you're making a LIFEstyle change then I would think that counting calories is going to be part of your every day life. However, if you have been counting calories through out your weight loss journey then you should…

Eating from 6 PM to 6 PM (especially for snackers)
A Weight Watcher leader recommended to me some time back to eat from 6 to 6. I am going to start that process today. So a new day for me starts at 6pm instead of in the mornings. So I started my calorie day last night at six with my dinner and junk. This worked for me before because I have a problem snacking at night time…

Can walking make you stall weight loss?
So here is my dilemma...When I was just watching my calories for the day, I was losing with pretty good progress. Then I started walking 2 miles day, granted I've only done it for about 5-6 days now, but I've either gained, and then gone back to where I was....so no actual weight loss. I know that this sounds like a dumb…
