Unfortunately my doctor says I have no symptoms of sleep apnea (snoring, moving during my sleep, getting up at night, etc.) so she sees no need for a sleep apnea test.

Thank you, it definately is frustrating. I'v heard about tracking your sleep with a "sleep juonral" althugh nver really though abuot taking is seriously, until now. Perhaps I will, thank you for the suggestion. If it terns out any interestnig results, i'll let you know.

Thanks very interesting, thank you for sharing that! I do workout a lot and I don't have too much down time. While I'd love to get a massage every week, it's not in my budget, however, I do get them before and after lifting meets. I've also quite enjoyed sessions of cupping, graston, and dry needling. My PT suggested…

Interesting, I hadn't thought of that, however, sugar doesn't really have an effect on me, that I know of. I don't eat a lot of processed foods such as candies or highly sugary cereals, dried fruits, or anything like that, so when I do have something processed like that, I just feel sick afterwards since it's not a…

UPDATE: 1) Not pregnant 2) My liver and kidney functions are fine, along with my iron and vitamin D levels. I'm not anemic nor does my doctor think that I'm pre-anemic. My Hep C is still in remission (and more than likely will stay that way since the treatments I took in 2007 are now guaranteed as a cure). I had a slight…

Unless I am on a rower or treadmill, I don't track anything else. Plus, the majority of my workouts are centered around powerlifting, and MFP doesn't do any calculations for any of that, so I don't bother. But I think you're right in the fact that different ways of performing the same exercise could affect logging in MFP.…

THIS. Yes. Many more reasons, but these touch base on my own thoughts/facts.

I haven't read through this entire feed, so someone may have said this already. I'd focus on getting the right macros down (Fat, Carbs, and Protein) and then your calories will fall into place, along with other things. All whole foods are made up od those components, and so if you're eating mindfully and properly from a…

That's interesting Danny, no, I don't kick or anything like that when I sleep, and no one has ever mentioned if I did from sleeping with my Mom, friends in a hotel room, or my roommate. I sleep pretty soundly when I'm out without a lot fo movement. I may toss or turn, per normal, but nothing like RLS, sleeping or…

I take a 50000mg of Vitamin D once a week, usually Sunday morning. It's what my doctor prescribed me.

Well, I will say that I haven't had my blood taken in quite some time, well over the 6 month period I'm supposed to be tested to see if my Hep. C has come out of remission - let's hope it's not that - and so I'll be getting that checked out at the doctors. I did have my thyroid checked a year or two ago, and it was normal.…

My Nutritionist makes sure I have enough to fuel my workouts, even during this cutting phase. Even if I was eating too little, I don't think I'd sacrifice one for the other. I need to get stronger and be in a lighter weight class, so perhaps this is just a low right now. Not sure. She'll give me more info when I talk to…

So basically, it could be a variety of things! Haha, thank you. This just broadens the issue (if there's an actual issue) as to where I was making it to be something as simple as one or two things. Thank you for sharing your experience! I too also drink a lot of coffee. I just love it, I don't feel any side effects from it…

Thank you for the insight. My doctors appointment isn't for two weeks, so I won't start or ad anything to my diet/regain before then. And I'll have the full blood work done, I'm due for a hemoglobin count anyways.

Yeah, I don't think so, but if you're right, it'll be a work of God and I'll let you know.

You're 5'8 and he want's you to be 120 lbs! That's RIDICULOUS! being your high and your current weight IS healthy. Unless you're looking to be lean and muscular, he can go find someone else, and you should go find someone who's first attracted to the person inside before the person they see on the outside (granted we all…

I'm a competitive power lifter. I use Inzer because they're incredible durable and lon lasting. They run large though. I'm a 38" waist and I can pull I it to the last hole.

I generally walk a mile everyday after training. I'm a morning person, but I'm not if I don't have to be, ya know? But I've done that before, woke up and gone out to work up an appetite for breakfast. With this cold Maine weather, I'm more than unimpressed to go out in the cold in the morning. A lot of my carbs are healthy…

I do count them! I try and take in 200g of protein a day because of my training lifestyle, although I generally get up to 160/190 depending on my level of intensity that day. My carb intake is somewhere around 400g and my fat is about 100g.

And thanks for the encouragement KillaKyle,my patience is wearing low after such a long time.

Okay, to maintain my weight, I'd eat 2900 calories, making my deficit 2400 calories, and I wouldn't lose every week even with my activity level at that deficit.

Normally I'd take in about 1900 cal, while my deficits is about 1300. I'm generally around 1600 though, because of my training diet.... I've tried to get around it, but I can't because technically, while being as active as I am, I could consume 3000 calories a day, and have an aggressive approach to having a deficit of…

Thanks TheVirgogoddess, I'll take a look at that video. I have no problem moving totally to weighting my food instead of both measurements and weight. I thought they'd be roughly the same, even though weighing more accurate. I know MFP is limited, I just use it to see what my intake is every day. I don't think it's going…

I'm sorry, what I meant to say was that I'm eating enough for my training, however I am eating under my "daily calorie goal". Thanks David. Yes, I know muscle mass weight heavier than fat, and that's why I try to stay clear of the scale and base my fat loss on measurements. About a month+ ago my waist was a 38 and now it's…

I don't think so. I eat quite a bit, and according to how I lift, as far as I know anyways. I've seen doctors (which never seem concerned with weight anyways these days) and I've seen several nutritionists who say I'm one of their more healthy clients.

I do, I measure and weigh my food all the time. And I just unlocked it.
