Plateau... any advice?
After getting really good results to begin with my weight loss has slowed down over the past four weeks. I haven't lost ANYTHING in two weeks (I've weighed exactly 140.4lb every day), lost two pounds the week before but didn't lose an ounce for two weeks before then. It's strange but my weight loss only slowed when I…

Then I sat down with a cup of tea to watch The Big Fat Challenge on TV (a UK reality show about the fattest family in the country and their feeble attempts to lose weight and…

Upping my calories to a healthy level...
So, last night I posted a confession of how for the past few months, I've only been eating around 1000 calories a day. I'm pretty much terrified of going over 1050, but with the advice of some MFP friends, I've decided to try 1200 calories a day. I'm worried that because I've been eating so little for months, bumping up my…

It's okay to ask...
Our friends went on a cruise and my husband and I babysat their dog while they were gone. She called me last week and said that they wanted to have us over for a grill out to thank us. She said they were having steaks. She knows about my new lifestyle change and I simply asked her if she could throw a piece of chicken on…

Sodium
Hey all :happy: I have a quick (and maybe dumb) question to ask. I was just looking at my report for today and notice that my sodium intake seems to be outrageously high! 1300ish mg. Should it be lower? What should my daily sodium intake be? Thanks for the help!!

Exercise Procrastination! Help!
Hi everyone, I joined this site yesterday and so far I love it. I love using the calorie counter and making friends here. Here I am on day 2 and I don't know if it is my thyroid issue or what, but I just don't feel the energy to start my workout. I put it off and off, and then reluctantly get to it in a halfhearted way.…

is anybody annoyed by big arms?
I feel like my body would be descent but when I look at my arms in the mirror around my upper arm area I just lose confidence. It annoys me so much and my face has become a bit more rounded than it used to be. I have dimples and I never did before.

Strength Training Question..
I've been on this journey about two years now with diet and cardio and have in recent months added strength training. I definitely see the differences in my body and muscle composition and am loving it! My question for those experienced weight trainers out there is how does this factor into calorie burn at all?? Does it?…
