Give yourself a few days to get rid of the sodium, take a couple of poops, and save your freaking out for after your body gets back to normal..

"Think" is a dangerous term. Actually figure out how many calories you're eating. Don't assume you're eating fewer calories because it doesn't feel like that much.

No. You simply have to eat less calories than you burn. The MFP food diary is set up that way and it's simple.

The general idea I've gotten is eating food that's as close to unprocessed as possible. So like...nuts, fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, etc. As opposed to prepackaged and very sugary/fatty foods like chips, cookies, frozen dinners, ice cream and things like that. It's really debatable but I thought I'd throw in my…

Only if you put on your robe and wizard hat.

Yep! You could quit any time you want! ...right?

Ranch is it for me. What I do it toss the lettuce in the ranch so there's a light coating on it. That way I can get a lot of ranch flavor without having big globs of it or using a large amount.

Are you eating enough? Because if you're starving yourself, you can't find energy that isn't there.

I ran my first 5k in November of 2013. Before that I couldn't keep running past half a mile, but because I had that deadline coming up, I was able to focus on training and ran the whole thing (ok, I walked like 30 seconds of it). I've gotten out of shape again, but I can still easily run a mile without stopping. It never…

I agree with this. Set small goals, and don't make it entirely scale-focused. Accomplishments don't have to be by the pound. Although you can still focus on the scale as long as you don't become obsessed. Celebrate every 3 pounds by doing something special!

You SHOULD eat back the excess workout calories. MFP is set up to help you lose weight without exercising, so anything you burn off via workout should be eaten. FYI, 30 Day Shred doesn't burn that many calories. I've used it before and I looked really amazing (huge benefits), but it only burned about 125 for me. That…

Do you plan to lose more bodyfat? If so, I would hold off on the skin surgery since you'll likely develop more loose skin. Give it time to shrink naturally and lose everything you want to, then get the surgery.

Maybe try using a good moisturizing lotion?

I eat back almost all of mine. I might leave like 50-100 to account for me not burning as much as the calculator said, but not eating back exercise calories makes me feel awful and I just binge.

Candy with nuts shouldn't be banned, but it would be a nice gesture to have a variety for kids to choose from because so many do have nut allergies now. That said, they'll probably find nutless candy at someone's else's house. I remember we had a neighborhood girl who had severe seizures and she was on a high fat diet to…

I love that! Gotta use something that get all that Butterfinger out of your molars.

MFP won't endorse you eating like someone with anorexia. So stop it, eat human amounts, and your completed diary will post just fine.

Get the 100 lb free weight and a gift receipt. Voila!

There are ups and downs in health and weight loss. Find an exercise you love that you can do, track your food to a reasonable degree and you'll be back before you know it!

A very long, loud, and awkward fart will make you the focus of the entire room.

If it's classy I appreciate it, but I'm not that social so I don't want to make small talk with people hitting on me.

A Snickers?

In my area, the store prices are considerably better than farmer's markets which charge prices that can be 5x higher. I wish I was joking.

No one stares. Although sometimes I stare at the butt of the person in front of me if it's particularly hypnotic. Can't help it! But really, no one cares, and if you can go during the day or later at night there will be less people around most likely.

I also dislike frozen grapes. I like regular grapes and frozen things, but they taste like nothing and the texture of a frozen grape makes me want to gag.

Microwaved apple with cinnamon (or GRILLED apple with cinnamon if I'm not feeling too lazy to turn on the propane tank.

I had this happen to me and everyone on the forums said I was pushing myself too hard. I knew that wasn't the case. As I had to solve it on my own, I realized I was having post-workout hypoglycemia. Even just a couple of miles is enough to cause my blood sugar to plummet and leave me severely nauseous later on. So now I…

A life without chocolate is a life I don't want to live. Good luck, but it sounds kind of depressing to cut out something you love so much.

This. You can't live in fear of cheating, because you're going to be at a party one day and the only thing left over is going to be some chicken wings or a slice of pizza and then you'll go to town. Just eat what you like and make your eating habits sustainable.

My advice is to find someone who would have liked you regardless of if you were a little scrawny...
