You could try taking Magnesium at night or quinine. Leg cramps are usually related to electrolyte imbalance but could also indicate other medical problems. Might be worth getting a checkup if you haven't been to the doctor for a while. Inadequate hydration can also cause leg ramps

But is that because when you eat after 9 you are eating extra food in addition to your normal daily consumption? That's what I find, after about 8 pm having eaten enough for the day, if I allow myself, I just keep cruising the kitchen and fridge looking for "something", ie I am not hungry, I just feel like eating, then I…

I had a hip problem, went to the PT, got a rehab plan with an end goal, finished plan, no longer see PT. hip issue fixed with a few ongoing maintenance exercises. With nearly everyone I know who sees a chiro, regardless of the problem they go with, ends up being told they have a hip issue or a one leg shorter than the…

I had to google them to find out what they are. Never ceases to amaze me how some people go out of their way to think up ways to criticize their own or other peoples bodies meanwhile there are real problems in the world....

Do you weigh your food? Also you need to be consistent for at least 4 weeks rather than freaking out and chopping and changing

Aside from their has only been one week advice which is totally true... Just double check your activity settings, I think you may have misunderstood that part. On mfp the activity level you choose excludes purposeful exercise. It is just asking about your level of activity as you go about your daily routine. The app is…

The reality is that you have reached a point where the amount of energy you are burning is the same as the amount you are consuming. This has to be true regardless of what your fitbit numbers are saying or what number of calories you think you are consuming. If it wasn't true you would be either losing or gaining weight.…

This makes so much sense and it never occurred to me before (not a sewer)

I tried Yaz and Yasmin and both sent me mental with anxiety. I think they were sued in France after a girl committed suicide.

I wouldn't panic yet, you may lose more from the other breast and arm as your weight loss continues. The muscle/deficit comment means you are unlikely to build muscle whilst eating less than your body burns in a day (ie in a calorie deficet) and then it is hard to build muscle as a woman anyway. Whilst dieting your muscles…

I did cross-fit for about 6 months I liked the exercises I liked feeling like I had worked really hard. I hated people standing around cheering me on. I hated the BS re nutrition that was dressed up as science I hated that paleo was pushed at me despite me being vegetarian I had to bite my tongue a lot I think you probably…

I have spent a fair bit of time in the far north of Australia and it is a common racial slur up there amongst those inclined to not behave like decent human beings. I really like the cheese but I don't expect people to "just get over it" like suggested by another poster, if you heard it used like I have towards people I…

Just wanted to say that I have a similar experience and you are not alone.

It is hard but doable. I don't eat when I get home from nightshift, whether it is my day off or not. After my last night shift I finish at 7.15 and am in bed by 8 am and don't eat before going to bed (I will have eaten around 2am or 3am at work). I get up at lunch (12 or so) and have my "breakfast" then and only stay up…

When I work 12 hour nights in combination with days I just run my calories midnight to midnight and I think in terms of three meals in the 24 hour period rather than "breakfast lunch and dinner". Seems to work even with the switch.

No, you are likely to make your hernia worse by doing too much. A hernia is different to diastasis in that with a hernia you have some part of your internal anatomy (the lining of your abdomen, your omentum or your bowel) protruding out of the hole in your peritoneum whereas with diastasis you have separation of muscles…

I have never seen your before photo before and always assumed from you headless profile pic that you were in your 20s!

Neither of those drugs will cause weight gain. More like you are unwell with inflammation +/- infection both of which cause water to be retained as part of the process of healing.

You seem to have weight, size, fat, muscle etc all muddled up. To be honest you are coming across more like you need to go see a counselor more than a dietician and I am being sincere you sound like you have got some disordered thinking around food and your body. As some one asked what are your goals? Do you have a…

Sounds like you don't have the right shoes, especially the shin pain. Sounds disproportionate amount of pain for your weight. A good pair of shoes are worth it if you are having these kinds of problems. Go get assessed at a proper shoe place or by a podiatrist. The wrong kind of sneakers can cause all the problems you are…

If you change the settings on your diary to public, members can see your diary and maybe help if there are any issues with your logging technique

This plus looking at your diary it appears that you don't weigh eggs, cereal (differences weight vs cups can be huge), oatmeal, bread or crackers.

Do you weigh all that you eat? Are you still on steroids or drugs like prednisone or others that can make you retain fluid? Do your docs know what exercise you are doing and are happy you aren't over stressing yourself and your immune system? You sound really focussed on exercise when IMO your food is the most important…

Also you might not be measuring where you losing it from, depending on your shape. I am an apple and my waist shrinks only after my hips and thighs have lost quite a bit. I spend a fair amount of time in pants with what I call drop crotches, waiting for my waist to lose enough to go down the next size.

Yes but that isn't "cheating" though is it since you haven't gone outside your calorie plan. I don't get the concept of the "cheat meal/day". Why spend all that effort trying to change your life only to "cheat" yourself?

Hi Jeff, you might want to make your own thread so as to not get this one off track but I had a quick look at your food diary and I don't see much that is weighed or weighed in grams. I suspect that prior to now your daily energy expenditure was large enough that you could get away with guesstimates and eyeballing things…

I tried Yas and Yasmin. Literally sent me crazy with anxiety and mood swings, it was like having PMS all the time. As I am an emotional eater I put on weight during that time. Took my a while to realize what might be the problem. Issues resolved by stopping it. Afterwards I discovered that this is not an unusual side…

Before I had any sort of knowledge about food I used to choose an apple and cinnamon muffin over a chocolate chip (even though I really wanted the choc-chip) because you know, it has apple must be healthier and therefore less cals. This went on for about 10 years. I was so angry when I discovered I should have just been…

Interesting...people complaining about something that is free.....Maybe Under Armour will take on your complaint, fix the database to your satisfaction and start charging a weekly fee for use that would cost recover the time and programming needed to "clean it up" and make sure it hasn't mucked up people's past entries…

Marathon and half marathon training is notorious for helping you put on weight or stay the same due to the hungries. Do you have pre and post training measurements? I found when I was long distance running that my weight was staying the same which was frustrating but I actually dropped a clothing size.
