Ask your doctor to check your iron. If the test comes back fine then there should be nothing to worry about

Some women become irregular or stop having periods when restricting calories or burning significantly more than they eat. Throughout history it has served to prevent pregnancy when food supply is low to avoid the risks caused by a malnourished pregnancy. You could try upping your calories for a couple months to see if they…

Keep in mind that eating a liquid diet will make your stomach work less which is fine but if you are going 100% then be very careful when going back onto solid foods, too much too fast will shock your stomach

That's exactly what I'm struggling with right now too. Sending a friend request! Edit: for some reason the app is running really slowly this morning and won't let me send a request. Would you send me one?

Add me! We can help each other stay motivated toward our goals and become friends along the road! Sending you a friend request

Just because it's added doesn't mean you're required to eat them, it just means they're available if you want them.

Hi I'm Yvonne. I spent most of my teens and early twenties yoyoing and each time it resulted in a higher ending weight. A few years ago I followed my mfp food diary for about 4 months and was doing well with my weight loss and then got distracted by a bulk that revealed a problem with my back that took a few months of…

There is a small percentage of people who burn fewer calories than calculators predict. If the other advice here doesn't help your progress, you might restrict your calories further for a short time (a week or two at most) and see if that works. There are other people using mfp who are successfully losing weight despite…

I have zero motivation to go to the gym. Thankfully my best friend does so she's started convincing me to go with her

If it continues or happens again you might consider seeing a chiropractor. I had lower back issues a few years ago. I hadn't really paid attention to it until I started a lifting routine and stated getting severe stabbing pain. I ended up having an over arched spine cause by a weak lower back over time. I had 6 weeks of…

You might try just doing an Epsom salt bath or foot soak a few times a week. Epsom salts are magnesium based and absorb through the skin very well

Figured out how to make a group. If anyone wants to join the name is Brides to be

If anyone knows how to set up a group that could be fun

Don't have a date set yet but certainly trying to buckle down a bit since I got engaged

My diary isn't always the best, I tend to snack on junk especially in the evening but you're free to check it out

Well, 3 servings of dairy a day is usually what doctors recommend anyway so it shouldn't be a problem to have them all from the same source as long as your digestive system reacts well to it

I worked graveyards for over 4 years. The biggest thing I learned was that on that schedule, meal titles stop mattering. When I wasn't on a diet my favorite breakfast was a green Chile cheese burger and a root beer at midnight. When working a non-traditional schedule you just need to find what works for you. I did mfp for…

28 and going for 100

Where did you get the 2.8k figure from?

My favorite is to add Mayo, dill pickle relish, and diced onion all to taste. But Mayo is so many calories so sometimes I do fat free sour cream (usually like full fat but I like to use a lot for tuna) and a dash of soy sauce instead of Mayo. Different flavor but still delicious

Hoarding fat was referring to your body going into starvation mode which basically drains your energy to bring your total calorie burn down as close to your bmr as possible by unneeded activity. Over a long period of time it wouldn't prevent dying of starvation but is meant as a short term emergency countermeasure until…

That does make since, it's been a couple years since I looked into it. What is the best easy access way to calculate lean body mass? Are percentages still a viable rule of thumb if you don't know your lean body mass?

Most current guidelines for fluid intake recommends around 1 oz of water for 2 pounds of body weight

You should consider talking to your doctor about getting tested for diabetes. If your body can't process sugar properly then it needs extra water to flush it from your system. Overly excessive thirst is a fairly common symptom. But also keep in mind that even if you are diagnosed, the fact that you're on mfp means you're…

Greek yogurt is a great snack. Most brands have 15 grams of protein in a single serving container. A small salad topped with grilled chicken and nuts might be a good option as well. I believe chicken is 22 grams of protein per serving and nuts vary by your choice. A 5 oz can of tuna in water is about 150 calories with 0…

For high exercise or muscle building, 40% carbs 30% fat 30% protein is often recommended. The reason for this is that your body needs more protein to repair muscle than if you were sedentary, it also needs enough carbs to recover your energy for future exercise, and the right amount of fats keeps your hormones stable.

I understand trying to lose a lot. I'm just restarting my journey at 255 after getting lazy about logging in here. I would actually recommend looking up a bmr calculator which calculates about how many calories you would burn if you didn't crawl out of bed for the day. It's basically your body's "survival" calories. If you…

You might try following the same guidelines to re-introduce food after a fading cleanse. Start by introducing orange juice with pulp. The juice has a good amount of easy to digest calories and the pulp starts waking up digestion slowly with just the slightest bit of solids. The second day stay with the juice again and add…

My legs always get itchy if I go walking outside. I think it's a combination of the exercise your body isn't used to and something about the outdoor air (especially cooler air)

Thanks guys!
