The Weight of Water
I looked up how much water weighs this morning and learned that it is indeed possible to gain a couple of lbs just in water weight. 1 cup of water weighs ~ .5 lb. 16 cups = 1 gallon ~ 8 lbs So logically, if you do have too much sodium one day and your body is retaining water - 1 cup is not a huge amount when spread out…

As I lose weight I am guessing that my nutritional needs will change. Will MFP change my settings automatically or will I have to calculate everything again? Also, If I have to change it manually, how often do I need to change it? Hope this made sense......:tongue:

Cheating
Hi! I just wanted some advice :blushing: ...I keep reading different MFPers talk about "cheat days". Do you designate a specific day? What constitutes a cheat day? An entire day or just one treat that you don't let yourself have on other days? Do you guys think this really won't affect total weight loss? I know that weight…

What is a safe amount of weight to lose in a week?
I'm getting mixed answers from the googles I've done. Some say you can lose as much as you like, as long as you eat enough calories and don't over do it.
