The past month I've weighed 162.9 every...single...weigh-in. No matter how stringent I am with tracking, that scale is not budging. That sounds like a scale issue. My scale does that when the batteries need to be changed. A digital scale won't give the exact same weight for two or more days in a row unless it's not working…

I stopped going to the gym when people started using phones in the locker rooms and communal shower area. Even though the gym has signs up about not doing that, there really is no way to enforce it so I stopped going. If there were private showers and changing areas with locked doors I would likely still go. For me it was…

The amount of rebounding you're likely to do won't have as much impact on your weight as simply cutting back on food. If it's something you like and will do regularly, then yes use it. It's easy, and it will help increase your general fitness and balance. The calories burned will help, but food is where your focus will…

Well sure, any way to calculate is still just a general guideline. You have to run your own experiment of tracking the food and see how your weight changes. With only 5-10 pounds to lose the numbers are harder to nail down. There's a very small margin of error between losing a little weight and under-nourishing. Log food,…

I feel like all the supplement words from lacachao are direct cut and paste from chatgpt and they should definitely be cautiously read then researched and/or ignored... But on the other hand, that sodium bromide poisoning link is from the Daily Mail. I meeeeeeaaaan…. It's pretty easy to use some common sense when people…

Yeah, my ratio is low… well within guidelines. I'm not sure why she's suggested statins, and she just suggested it, didn't push for it at all. She just said, "Your risk is over 10% I recommend a statin. Here are the lifestyle changes you can make," written to me by eChart messaging. I mean they use the ASCVD Risk…

It's been four months to the day that I started this thread. I am three pounds away from my before-accident weight, so I've lost seven pounds. That's good progress and I'm okay with it. June as a deadline was a pipe dream, not sure what I was thinking (hoping?) My injury continues to heal. I've had to sell my car and now…

Yeah, it's doing it with mine too. That doesn't really bother me. It does bother me that all the personal stuff (home, food, etc,) is oriented all the way to the far left on the page.

….no, I take that back. I would have just found another provider.

@springlering62 grrrr. "Your husband would miss them." Let me guess? Your @sshole of a doctor was male? Not that women don't say cray stuff too, but - really? I definitely would have reported that to …..whoever!!

…Also, I would have loved to have heard Mr. Alaterial's comments when asked to help…

I heart it, thank you. I figured I had gone a step too far with caring about it one way or the other. Now I know I'm not alone! LOL.

Alatariel! How much did they weigh?? JK, you don't have to say, but thank you for validating me!

Ya'll can certainly over-think any topic. I miss the old days when this would have devolved into memes and gifs on page one. kidding not kidding. This may be TMI for some of ya'll but hey, page two of a hair extention discussion…. When I was about halfway through my 80 pound weight loss I thought, "Wonder how much my…

The Ancient Aliens TV show is actually really well done if you can suspend doubt for the duration. I mean, some of it is pretty plausible, some of it is a bit, "Eh, you say what now?" I didn't read Chariots of the Gods so I had no preconceived belief about the topic. I did grow up with a set of Encyclopedias in the dining…

...so, you're here to tell us about your supplements?

It is the peak of the Perseid meteor showers right now. So, could be the stars… Edit: I've been watching Ancient Aliens, that TV show. Talk about not knowing what to believe anymore! That show will spin you around and spit you out! I have no real reason to believe it or not believe it. It definitely gives me something…

Yeah, PAV. I understand that the settings used by myfitnesspal may have changed. I don't know if that is the solution to this but I'm glad you elaborated for the rest of the people reading. If the first post is from someone in the BMI < 27 group then the myfitnesspal calorie calculator won't give her the extra low calorie…

@PAV8888 😆 very few people are going to understand what you're talking about. I'm guessing you aren't going to get an answer…

Well if it were me I'd set it at the most active setting and not log exercise, or just log a small amount if it's more than usual. Being on a sports team is a lot like a daily activity/job. That's the easiest and probably the most accurate since you'll be very active nearly every day. You'll need to do a trial run of 4-6…

Need more info. If you mean 1400, it's because as you get close to goal weight, you can't sustain a larger calorie deficit safely. 1400 is probably just a couple hundred below your Maintenance calories. When within 25 pounds of your goal you should expect a half pound loss per week, maximum.

LOL, no, but I get it. You could always call the salon, I'm sure this has been an issue for a lot of people! They would know the weight.

In addition to what yirara said above, under-eating and over-exercising can negatively affect your immune system and your energy levels. I hope you set yourself up for success going forward. Losing 12 pounds in 50 days is pretty extreme and would likely cause anyone to have negative consequences.

You can expect the same thing you'd expect with any professional you are seeing for the first time. You're interviewing them. Tell them what you expect, and then listen. If you're having weight or health problems due to weight, I'd say they probably know more than you about food. If you're having trouble eating the right…

Yes. Definitely delete the app.

Yeah, weight loss is about getting the food under control. Exercise is a minor part of losing weight, unless you have limitless time and are willing to do a lot of exercise. I'm guessing that if you have significant weight to lose that food is the problem. It's a big task if you have a lot of weight to lose, but it's worth…

This user is linking to some blog or app or something in every post. They have made 20 posts in an hour with the link. I didn't click it. Maybe it's okay, doesn't seem like it. Seems spammy…

That's a bit upsetting, honestly. I mean, yeah, back in the day when every item went direct to the public database - those would be good to vet. I am not too worried about my foods getting reported because I don't save them to the public database, but with all the changing formulations and recipes/ingredients/portion sizes…

Log your food. That is all.
