Carbs does that to me... Carbs knocks me out.

Everything in moderation.. Potatoes are a great source for Potassium. They actually have more than Bananas. Your body needs potassium to: Build proteins Break down and use carbohydrates Build muscle Maintain normal body growth Control the electrical activity of the heart Control the acid-base balance Some studies have…

I never deactivate either... Friends come and go here.. One never knows what is going on in their lives. They'll be back to pick up the program again.

Watch your salt intake... There is so much hidden salt in the foods we buy. If you are not cooking from scratch, where salt consumption can more easily be controlled, you may find that table salt, and hidden salt is helping you retain water.

Awesome... You are an inspiration

Low Potassium is tied to high blood pressure.. I have been trying to increase my Potassium indicate. I was very low... I am now about half way to my daily requirement. I have just been diagnosed with Hypertension, and now take blood pressure pills. My hope is that with increasing my Potassium, and taking a copy of the…

Welcome... Feel Free to add me, everyone is welcome to add me

The Hospitals here in Fort Wayne, IN have a Diabetic support group lead by a nurse/nutritionist. I joined this group and have gotten a lot of good information and help. Try to find something like this also.

Isn't it amazing how fat distorts our bodies, and facial features? You should be proud of all your hard work to get to this point..

I also wished for this. Last year MFP had a recipe box, but it was labor intensive. After you entered your recipe in the recipe calculator, if a person wanted to share the recipe, It had to be entered again. There were recipe's there, but I did not care to enter my recipe twice. I think the calculation should be part of…

At present I work out every other day... My exercise bike is currently broken, and this hinders me a bit, as I have issue's with my feet and knees.

Welcome... glad your back.. This is my second time. All that is required is that you try, and don't take yourself too seriously.

Me too... However, MFP, projects I am still loosing weight. I was out with friends tonight.. I'll make some of the extra calories up tomorrow somehow.

I strive for a bit more than 1 stone a quarter. So about 9 months, loosing 1 lb a week.

Hi Sara, I'm in Fort Wayne, IN.. You can add me.

I don't know... I just exercise so I can eat.

Congratulations.. I hope to say that myself in a few weeks.

With weight loss, it is not how fast a person can loose weight, or how few calories a person can consume. Weight loss is about the journey. What foods to eat in the correct amount. The exercise you choose to be involved in. The mental peace. The realization that this is a lifetime commitment, not just till we loose our…

I have always liked a little weight training. I don't use free weights, but I like to us a Weider Cable and weight machine.

It really depends on your body.. I don't believe in the low carb diets of 30 grabs daily. I think at least 100g of carbs might be about right. For me I noticed to many carbs does a couple of discouraging things to me. 1. I get Hot Flashes when I eat to many carbs. 2. To many Carbs puts me to sleep. I have been following…

I have been checking the Report feature in MFP, and discovered I am not getting enough Potassium.. I have been trying to add the foods to my diet I need. My issue is that Wayne does not seem to eat most of the foods that have potassium.. If it is not a potato he does not eat it. Therefore, I discovered that I had fallen…

I do it... I have one day a week (Sunday) that I eat anything I want. If I feel I am missing out/ deprived, I find that is a problem for me. I was surprised to discover that I am not that far away from my daily calories. I also ride my stationary bike to help burn calories. I loose 1 to 1.5 lbs a week.

My go to breakfast is Egg Beaters, scrambled eggs, or Omelet. If ordering scrambled eggs, hash brown's with onion, bacon and wheat toast.
