Does anyone take a water pill?
Sometimes I can feel my rings get so tight and I can gain 1 pound a day. I know it's just water weight because no way can you gain 1 pound a day. I always wanted to try a water pill but I'm afraid of side effects. Can you purchase a water pill over the counter? Please advice.

Food date base frustration
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but some of the food numbers are totally off in the nutritional information. One item I was going to enter for dinner was 70 a calorie difference! At least 3-4 foods a day I add to my food diary are wrong. Some people just round up the numbers up instead of using a .5. I have to…

Day 1 on MFP = DONE!
So that's my first day using MFP tools and food and exercise log! I am so LOVING how easy it is to be able to keep track of everything. Granted some of the food calories are estimates or things closest to what I actually ate, but it still gives me a pretty good idea of what I'm intaking. Day 1, I went over my daily caloric…

Eating Chinese "out" today - - HELP!
Any suggestions on what / how to order when I eat out this evening? I've looked up "chinese food" and everything has alot of calories....

Body Fat % Concerns
Now that I'm getting closer to my intermediate goal weight I've started to think more about body fat percentage. I am concerned about something. A year ago I weighed 180 and was 42% body fat, according to my scale. Currently I weigh 150 and am at 36% body fat. Why am I still so fat? I have been pretty active for the last 5…

Alcohol and Weight Loss
I'm seriously confused on the affects of alcohol on losing weight. I've done a lot of research on the subject and get mixed emotions.
