Are Birkenstock sandals available in Thailand? They're German. They have good support. This is the pair I wear: https://www.birkenstock.com/us/mayari-oiled-leather/mayari-core-oiledleather-0-eva-w.html?dwvar_mayari-core-oiledleather-0-eva-w_color=5326 They take about 3 - 7 days to break in depending on how much you walk.…

You need to go to the dentist. I had a similar thing once and went in thinking something horrible and it was inflamed gums, which sounds like nothing but it turns out, can actually hurt really bad. I had to use a prescription mouthwash and switch from floss to water floss. You need a professional. What you are describing…

I don't think weight loss is going to help. I got varicose veins on one leg when I was 21 years old and weighted 104 lbs. Highest weight: 140, current weight: 127, varicose veins: identical to what they were years ago when I was early 20s and 104 lbs.

My sciatica pain lessened. It was a nice surprise and I have to say a big motivator to not only lose more, but to not re-gain.

Seeing if I can find the same thing with less calories and switching to that. Examples: My previous bread was 90 calories per slice, I found a 60 per slice bread, Nature's Own Butterbread. We like it just the same. On a sandwich that's a 60 calorie savings! My American cheese slices were 60 calories. I found Velveeta…

I am losing weight and drink vodka almost every night. I drink it mixed with anything 0 calorie like water or Powerade Zero. I log all the calories and its always been fine. SW: 140 CW: 129 Height: 5'3" Recent weight changes, using Weightgrapher, weighed 27/30 days in the past 30 days: Week change: down 0.57 One month…

Definitely bring this up to your doctor. I would phrase it in a way that let them know you have already brought this up years ago like: "two years ago I complained of (details) and you advised me that should probably go away on its own, but it hasn't. What is the next step?" If at this point, you do not receive help for…

This bothered me too, so I Googled it. I will link the article at the bottom. "For a weight change to show up on your face, you’d need to change your BMI by 1.33 points, the study found." SW: 140 lbs, BMI 24.8 Going by the article, which I had no idea of the accuracy, I'd need to reduce my BMI to 23.5 in order to see any…

I use a weight trending website and whatever my trend weight is, that is what I consider my "true weight." I have been logging my trending weight on MFP instead of what the scale says.

ME. But this never feels like hunger to me, it is more that I want to move my jaw a lot. I target crunchy things. I urge you to see a doctor, there is no reason to have a migraine for 2 - 3 days! There are plenty of meds you can try if you cannot take triptans. I have used Sumatriptan (Imitrex) for 21 years, it is very…

And here I am losing half that amount all around the waist with a fat face. We just have to stick to it.

Thanks for the help! I didn't think weighing the oil before and after would be right, due to evaporation, but it seems that is the most accurate way to handle it. I will do that, then compare my calculations to similar deep fried foods offered at restaurants and if I'm way off, well, I'll re-think that if it happens.

Oh gosh. I wore a pair of shoes last week and I thought they were loose, but decided it was all in my head because it was a pair I haven't worn in a while.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

When you next go into work, you should adjust the vent so it doesn't blow directly on you. If you can't do that for whatever reason, you should call maintenance (or whoever) and have it done. If someone at your job protests, please bring up the vent at your appointment and try and get a note requiring the vent to not be…

Mine does this. If the weight is within half a pound, it just reflects the last weight. I keep a three pound weight next to the scale and weigh with it, then weigh without it so I can see my actual weight to the tenth of a pound. Then I record on a weight trender so I can see that I am on track.

I ended up with a pinched nerve in my back after a car accident. I used a TENS device to alleviate the pain enough to move around normally, then focused on stretching and moving. This worked, mostly. That nerve has never completely fixed itself. Sometimes it pinches, but it's never been to the point of affecting my…

I'm doing only MFP calorie counting, nothing else, and no exercise. Today is my 77th day. I had originally set up to lose 0.5 lbs per week, and I've lost 5.2 lbs which is slightly behind the 6 lbs I should be had I stuck with the plan for the past 77 days. I didn't, I took a 10 day break on Day 62 (but still logged…

The way I make a simple grilled cheese sandwich, 208 calories. A simple plate of bean and cheese nachos, 215 to 240 calories. One Russell Stover nutty, chewy, or crispy chocolate, 73 calories. Heart of Palm, 20 calories in half a cup! I love heart of palm but never considered the calories before. Now I keep it in stock at…

Being rude to service professionals such as wait staff is a deal breaker for me. Reckless driving and road rage. Lying about their finances.

That's amazing, where can I go to build this chart?

I would accept it!

Short version: disc slipped after I was hit by a drunk. Immense daily pain. I swear by yoga. There are tons of yoga routines to follow free on Youtube. I usually look for them by 'yoga for lower back pain' 'yoga hip opening' 'back yoga' and so on. Adding yoga into my life has been a game-changer. Please try some yoga, it's…

That isn't how I thought it would go. Imagine, we have had the formula for weight loss for this long!

I'm on an 18 day streak, with an ultimate goal not to leave MFP when I reach my goal weight, as I did last time I was here in 2012. It is wonderful to see so many posters in the 1000s because that is where I ultimately want to end up, in forever maintenance. You guys sharing your Streaks are such an inspiration.

I am currently friendless and would love some friends! I'm returning since last being here in 2012 to lose all the weight I gained while not tracking any calories. It would be great to motivate others and have others to motivate me.
