Oh goodness, Pizza is forever my weakness.

I was struggling with low blood pressure for a while. It resulted in me passing out a lot. I saw a cardiologist and he advised that I increase my salt intake because my BP was so low. Ever since then, I've eaten a lot of salt. I keep track of my BP and it's at a normal level. However, I feel like it is making me swell up.…

Finally, someone who feels the exact same way I do. :(

Iceberg Lettuce. Donuts or bagels?

Great advice guys. Thank you. You all have helped a lot. Now to find something to eat...my stomach is currently growling and I've just been sitting here sipping on coffee since 11 am.

LOL. You're funny. Actually, believe it or not, I've tried that. I hated it, so I quit.

Well, at least I'm here. Baby steps.

I'm a mess, I know. Maybe 2 lbs is an aggressive goal, but I've been known to be hard on myself. I hate cooking, but I am very willing to do so in order to replace the easy fast food. I will elaborate more on the "binge eating" comment. When I am not around food, I am fine. When I see food, I will eat all of it (or want to…

I'm looking for all the support and motivation I can get...I'm just as willing to give support and motivation as well.

I work at McDonalds, so for lunch break (of course) I have McDonalds food 5 days a week. Fast food is the majority of my diet because I hate cooking. I would like to cut out fast food completely. I have already plugged my stats in and I set my goal to lose 2 lbs a week. I'm set at at least 1500 cal a day. I don't feel like…

According to your BMI (body mass index) you are at a normal weight. As most have stated already, maintenance is what you should do. Losing weight is not in your best interest health wise.

Height: 5'8" Weight: 180 lbs Gender: Female Age: 24 My goal is to get to 140 lbs. I want to be lean.

I'm sorry, but all of this is blowing my mind. Being hungry is a good thing? Who feels good when your stomach is growling non-stop? I can't stand it when my stomach growls. I get, what some may call, "hangry". When I'm hungry, I turn into a raging a-hole. I have to have food, always! Maybe that's why I can't lose weight. I…

I like to tell people who are close to me (dad, mom, fiance, sister). However, I also like to talk to people who are also counting (MFP members, fitness instructors, etc). I do not like to talk to people who are close-minded. I hate hearing "Why? There isn't anything wrong with you, you look fine!" I need structure and…
