many of the foods in the data base do not have their potassium content listed.

Height 5' 2" Age 47 these are stats from 3 months ago and now Weight 125 down to 116 Waist 32, currently 28 Hips 38, currently 36 Chest 32, currently 31 my arms haven't changed but they look more toned.

Accountability. This is a lifestyle for me. Life happens, get back on track at the very next opportunity. So if I eat it, I log it and see how things smooth out over the week.

How do you know that the banana actually contains the exact number of calories for the weight?

I know it has already been mentioned that eating an extra meal or snack helps. To add to that, I suggest getting started with your first meal earlier in the day. I often go to a 6:15 a.m. workout, this means I need a quick snack before I leave, then breakfast when I get home at 7:30, then going from there with my meals and…

I have been on for three months, haven't missed a day, and can use some encouragement myself! Please add me!

I had the same problem in my early 40s. You can get over the counter progesterone cream to apply topically that may help with the hot flashes and stomach fat gain. I am 47 and use both progesterone and a prescription estrogen that my GYN gives me. Also, I changed my diet. Before 40 I could eat milk and refined carbs…

Add me if you would like

I am much the same, was down to my goal 2 years ago, then gained back 15 pounds. I am now currently 2 months into my program, eating on track, exercising really well with weights and cardio. The problem is the small amount of calories to work with, it's really easy to be over 1400 at the end of the day for me. I am 5' 2",…

Thrift stores and consignment shops are what I did when I knew I had at least 2-3 sizes to go for my goal and I was making steady progress. Where I live there are quite a few. With careful shopping I was able to find very nice things, many even with the original tags on them, for very few $$. I kept my clothing needs to…

I have a lot of problems with water retention. For this reason I weigh every day. I can compare how am I feeling and looking to the scale. The trend is what I am looking at, and I use Diet Power to track that information. Because of the fluctuations I use my lowest recent body weight as my true dry weight, and I use this…

I used to feel this same way. Eating, cooking, cleaning up afterwards, what a total waste of time. Let's not even talk about having to decide what to eat in the first place. Most of the time I didn't eat. Helps explain why I weighed 89 pounds at 5'2". (well.... some of the reasons, anyway...) Hypoglycemia was a daily…

Thanks for all the great feedback and helpful suggestions! I stepped back into weight training 60 days ago, it is going well and I am pushing myself to go heavier as fast as I can safely go. Plan: Continue to push my limits with WT. Be careful not to overdo cardio. Push protein grams and watch carbs. Get enough calories…

Wow! Thank you

Thank you for looking at my data again. I like your suggestion of stepping up the calories and protein grams over a few weeks and I will make sure I am eating enough. Also your suggestion to ramp up my weight lifting to help preserve my LBM better. I am now in a position to do that without injury from the last couple of…

I have set my diary to track carbs, fats, and protein. Thank you for the suggestions.
