that's like asking how long is a piece of string :)

....till I burst.

I'm the same I very rarely get thirsty and even after exercise I can drink a couple of mouthfuls and be satisfied. I'm not dehydrated as I can tell from my urine colour so I don't worry about it. As others have said I eat a lot of food (fruit & veg) containing water, drink hot beverages and as I don't have much salt I…

I see you've posted about this problem a few other times, maybe not getting the answer you want instead of listening to the advice given. In other posts you say you've been counting calories since January but only came on MFP in April. Did you count on a different site or just guess? You also said you didn't realise how…

When you say "don't seem to be seeing much improvement on the scales" what do you mean by that exactly. Are you losing any weight at all, how much weight do you need to lose, what are your stats? A lot of people say they aren't losing weight, when they are losing maybe 1lb a week but expecting to lose more. It can be a…

I'm the same I can't just have 1 or 2 or 3 biscuits, I could easily eat the whole pack. My only way of avoiding this is to notice the foods like this I can't control myself over and don't eat them at all. Some people may say you shouldn't avoid any food that you enjoy, but I would rather avoid the foods I over eat than…

I had a Fitbit and wore it at my desk job. Every time I moved my arm from my computer to my phone it registered that as a step. Even expensive gadgets can be wrong. I now use map my walk app on my phone which uses time and distance and maps out my route I walk instead.

Instead of trying to replace water, try adding things to water. You'll still be getting the water you need but it will taste different. I hate drinking water on it's own, so I drink orange squash, lemon water, herbal teas instead, I never drink water on it's own and I'm not dehydrated etc.

I haven't drunk alcohol in about 6 months, so saying off it in January is no problem. I'm aiming to have no alcohol for a year and then maybe just carry it on forever.

I'm on fluoxetine which first off made me feel nauseous so could hardly eat and lost 7lb in a week. I put it back on after a couple of weeks when the side effects wore off and am fine now. I haven't noticed any increased appetite which some people do experience.

If the numbers on the scale effect you, then I imagine the same would happen with numbers on a tape measure. Just like different things change the number on the scales so too with a tape measure (like bloating, measuring in the exact same place every time etc) I'd say if you don't want to buy scales incase you weigh…

I don't eat whatever I want in the sense that right now I fancy fish n chips but if I have them I'll go over my calories and eating a smaller portion to fit into my calories just wouldn't fill me. But I do enjoy what I eat. Just don't be persuaded into eating what others eat or feel like you can eat certain things because…

I'm low in iron too. I have 50g of Branflakes for breakfast, that's about 50% already. I don't eat much meat so take an iron supplement too. Sometimes you just can't get enough from food alone if you don't want to eat too much.

To add food manually (not from the database) go into My Foods and then click Create Food to the right if you're using a desktop, if you're using an Android mobile go into Recipes, Meals & Foods, then into Foods and at the bottom you see a tab to create a food.

Yes just type in the food in the search bar, then click on the food and to the right you can click Add food to Diary or Nutrition Info

I weigh everything. 1 slice of bread can weigh 35g then the next one can weigh 42g. With bars the package will say each weighs 35g but they can weigh a lot more or less. Weigh each burger separately, each piece of food you eat don't assume each will weigh the same. It all adds up.

I never go by what a package calls a serving or says the item weighs, as 9 times out of 10 the package is wrong. Like a slice of bread for example. The package says each slice weighs 35g yet each slice I weigh is different and can be up to 40g. A tin of beans the tin says contents is 400g I weighed it at 410g

We need a lot more information from you before we can answer that. Your details, how long since you lost weight etc.

This is why I only weigh myself once a week, on the same day in the morning. Because I know if I weigh myself every day or multiple times a day the weight will fluctuate because of other factors and not actual weight loss. Weighing myself weekly I have never gained weight during this weight loss journey even during my…

If you're wanting to know what vitamins & minerals are in the food I use this website https://cronometer.com/

Depends what the packaging says, some say uncooked some say cooked. For fresh food like potatoes, veggies etc always raw.

I'm on beta blockers and have had no problem losing weight at actually more than MFP recommends. MFP says I should be eating 1200 calories to lose 2lb a week, I'm eating 1400 and still losing 2lb a week.

First of all there are no fancy solutions, you just need to eat less calories than you burn. So you need to weigh everything you eat and log it. Secondly you sound defeated and you've only just begun. Stop thinking about what you've done in the past and stick to just counting calories, weighing food and logging it and…

Just read up on this. It doesn't actually say it makes you lose weight as such just "helps you in your journey" and should only be taken as part of a calorie controlled diet and exercising. There's your answer. Interesting how they advise to stop hunger add 8 drops to 16oz of water to stop you feeling hungry. I'm guessing…

Your diary isn't open (unless you mean just open to people who add you) Mine is.

yeh you said it yourself, you have to give it more time.

When people say they don't like vegetables, they have very rarely tried every vegetable that exists. Plus a lot of people who don't like some vegetables maybe haven't tried new ones or ones they hated as children, when tastes can change and they may find they like them now. That's why it is suggested they keep trying. That…

Your body can produce oxalate on its own or obtain it from food. Vitamin C can also be converted into oxalate when it's metabolized. Once consumed, oxalate can bind to minerals to form compounds, including calcium oxalate and iron oxalate. This mostly occurs in the colon, but can also take place in the kidneys and other…

It's hard to get all your requirement of iron just from a normal balanced diet. You would need around 700g a day of spinach to get 100% of recommended requirement of iron so the amount I eat in a salad is about 8%. I eat fortified cereals, green vegetables and other foods rich in iron as much as I can (don't eat meat) but…

When you say you hate salad what is it you don't like about salads? The ingredients? You know you can add whatever you like to a salad, so you can have spinach in a salad along with roasted Brussels sprouts, potato most meats you like, pasta, cous cous the list is endless. A salad doesn't have specific ingredients, just…
