Water retention after general anesthesia is very common. I had major ankle/foot surgery and spent a week after, discharging tons of water. I was in a manual wheelchair for 3 months, pushing myself everywhere - though I would lose weight, but the doctors told me it doesn't burn that much. But it stopped my gaining.

Most things in life I've taught myself from books, but I've had a personal trainer for six months and it's whole now world. He fine tunes the workout - has me do subtle changes in grips on weights if I experience pain in my arms- things I've never seen in books. If I go in with a bad back feeling I'm not able to do any…

Please provide references for hi protein and low carb as being Ketogenic

The Scosche Rhythm plus HRM- works just as well as a cheststrap - it's using multi-color LEDs on the upper arm. I would not trust a wristwatch style HRM. However HRM's are a terrible way to estimate calories - might as well throw some dice.

I know - makes no sense now. When I started, it made sense since I was an unknown quantity - so I followed what he said.

I doubt I'm training at a high enough level to need the carbs. I've been only doing serious gym/weights for about 6 months, but my trainer is ecstatic about my progress. My aim there is to gain strength/flexibilty/stamina and also help with neurodegenerative issues - but the weight loss primarily from lower calories. I…

I use his web app, that averages the total non-consistent weight loss into a more meaningful graph. E>g this morning I weighted 5 lbs more than Friday - I see a spike on the graph and a re-assuring curve - that says- don't worry

I walk on non workout days- last week did 1.5 hours in a park with ravines - so I climbed several hundred feet of hills also. I felt no need for food - just water.

I don't think so

My son put some nice diesel fuel in his 1 month old car, he never knew that it's not a good thing.

Calories in vs. Calories out is all that counts -- is the standard message that gets thrown at everyone and it's not true. It tells you that you that it's your fault and you lack self control. It's much more complicated. Why is it that some people stay slim and never count calories? It's like saying a forest fire makes the…

The 8 glasses is an arbitrary myth - three years ago I gave it up. I drink two glasses of water first thing in the morning - thirsty or not. Otherwise I drink when thirsty. An exception is if its hot outside and I'm going for an exercise walk _ I drink as much as I can first.

Wait till you add a food that has negative nutrients - makes you wonder how innacurate the other foods are

Thanks for this question - it made my realize I've just lost 100 from my highest weight, but I did it over a very long time in small chunks - and different ways. That was not intentional- I kept waning to lose it all at 2lbs a week, I would end up losing a chunk, then get tired of trying and stop, gain some back some then…

I read all kinds of stuff about it - like increasing energy, reducing depression, better sleep, removal of brain fog - but its' not happening for me.

Sadly - very true

I used to eat what I thought was too much cheese - but when I went keto 9 months ago, I ended up eating more. I was losing at 2lbs a week for several months - no problems. I'm less carefull in my eating now, still consuming lots of cheese and losing a lb a week.

Home made high quality chocolate chip cookie - that cost me - 1.5 hours of walking in a ravine and climbing 200 feet of hills

The Korean spam - would be simple to kill on sight - hit any posts that are more than 5% Korean character set - just some filtering in the forum software. I'm tired of providing my whack a mole services for free.

I think it used to prompt after every 10 lbs lost - if you use the default settings

Coconut oil

My daughter made trifle - good for my weekly binge serving.

You can lose weight without exercise. I've done it in the past, and I spent 3 months in a wheelchair after an ankle injury.

Where does it say Fluid oz [in the OP's diary]?

A few days ago, got another pair of pants size 46, currently wearing 48 that need a belt to keep them tight. Figured it would encourage me to knock off a few pounds, but in fact they fit already.

Slipped on the ice, with my leg at a weird angle, knew it was bad before I hit the ground screaming, but managed to avoid concussion. Ambulance people pushed my head down when I tried to look at the ankle. When I saw the initial xrays several weeks later - it was an ugly mess with the foot at an impossible angle. Both…

I'd like to get an orange star on my profile for every spam I flag

Did something change? I just flagged a new spam within a minute of it's existence. 30 seconds later it was gone. Same thing happened yesterday.
