I do some - I've been thinking of trying to up it this month, though, and started this past week doing a bit more strength training to see if maybe building some muscle would help my situation. I've been mixing in pilates with my cardio since I was experiencing muscle fatigue far before feeling TOO out of breath, so I…

I'm sorry, I assumed my responding about my weight being consistent across multiple scales (doc, my own, the trainer, etc) would convey the fact that it wasn't a battery issue. My fault. I suppose it's plausible that all of these scales have failing batteries at once, but... it's not likely. This is what I mean about not…

Yes! This is a good thought, and I actually have to go in and manually add in quite a few corrected entries, frankly. I did notice this about... two years ago, I was definitely misreporting my calories simply because some entries were outdated or perhaps from other markets or something... however it happens, yeah, I've…

I'm sorry, I did not edit in the mentioned of the food scale - they were there from the start (it is what I use to measure my food, after all!). Also, I've mentioned multiple scales from the start as well, not just one. Look, I'm trying to be clear, but it seems I cannot win - if I am overly detailed and soften my…

Yes, before I gained the weight (I lived near a smoker and it triggered constant migraines for about a year until I got out of my lease, which meant I stopped having the energy to work out or cook for myself = rapid weight gain) I was 125-135 for most of my adult life. My primary issue is I tend to carry weight on my…

Spitballing is good, it's what I'm looking for! As I mentioned, I have a doc appt in about 8 days, so I'm kind of looking for ideas of things to bring up... I mentioned it back at the start of July to her, but I don't think she believed me (because it is a bit hard to believe). It is a new doctor, too, so my hope is that…

No. Unless we've got some kind of immaculate conception going on ;3 First, thank you for your empathy. I do track sodium as my doctor requests for me to get slightly more than most people - I have orthostatic hypotension and generally low blood pressure, so I've been going for around 3000-3500 per day rather than the MFP…

I've been to a doctor in early July, but she didn't seem to think it was particularly worrisome. It's possible that she just didn't take me seriously (as you can see the people already in this thread basically telling me it's impossible so it didn't happen, lol) and believed I was just exaggerating! I was hoping to bring…

Yes. I am on a very long streak of consistent MFP use! And as I said many times, I log everything, I measure everything. If people choose to ignore the information I've provided about what I was eating, I suppose that is their choice. I'm going to assume you only read the headline, as all of this is covered in my post. And…

...Food still in my system two months later? Once again, I will not be opening my diary. This is non-negotiable: I have been extremely transparent and accurate in my post (additionally, I followed a paid reset program for the month of July and logged the meal plan by ingredient; I would feel pretty crappy putting that…

As I mentioned already in the OP, I am 5'7" and 148 right now. I was 5'7" and 138 in May when this happened. I choose to keep my diary closed for privacy reasons, sorry. This will not change. Sorry, but you can blame a past stalker who chose to harass me for such things for my being cagey about any sort of public food…
