I think a variety of things could factor into this. Water weight loss after a workout via sweating and the like. Also, as gross as it is, bowel movements can effect your weight, especially if you're weighing after one.

Welcome! I love your avatar picture. :) It makes me smile!

Hi there, Bryan! I'm glad you decided to begin the journey to feeling better, and happy that it was here with us. This place is a virtual wellspring of awesome people and great information. :)

So.... Hey Dustin. Welcome! :-D I'm glad you've decided to join us, and I'm sure you'll find this place as fulfilling and helpful as I do! :)

That's awesome. :) I'm an avid water drinker myself. BTW, can I just say that your avatar picture is lovely! I can't wait for the day I have a waist line like that. Your photo inspires me!

Almonds here, too. I tend to have texture issues with a lot of nuts, but I don't with almonds. Plus, they're more filling to me than, say... peanuts or macadamia nuts.

I'd like to see some of these as well!

I'd like the extra challenge. :) I think would help to keep me motivated!

Hang in there! I think it's human nature to be hard on ourselves. You're commiting to the lifestyle change, but it sounds like you're being really hard on yourself. *bearhug* You've got this! I know you do!

That sounds amazing. I am going to write this recipe down and keep it. Thank you!

Count me in!

What a great idea. :) Here are my Top 10: 1. Start building my completely new wardrobe, without looking for clothes that can best hide the bulge. 2. Continue to train, so that I can stay health and fit. 3. Prove to my husband that I have better endurance than he does. ;) 4. Have some new family photos made. 5. Get a new…

Thanks everyone for all the information and support. I feel a lot better now. I never actually knew that I could make myself sick working out, so I consider this a lesson learned. I've been sipping on water and took a warm shower, then an hour long nap. Now I am FAMISHED. I'm looking forward to eating in a sec, probably…

I really never developed a taste for rice cakes. I really tried, but I feel like I'm eating cardboard with those things.

It could be asthma related. But if you're feeling fluid in your lungs you should definately see a doctor. That almost sounds like it could be turning into pneumonia.

One of my favorite breeds. I used to have one, but he passed away years ago. He had gastric torsion(bloat), and never recovered from the surgery. They are high maintenance as far as health goes. They are prone to hip dysplasia and bloat, so you have to be careful with that. They are AWESOME with kids, so long as they are…

I don't know about calories, but I know that RED wine is better for your heart and blood pressure. I imagine caloric intake would vary between the brands and types.

That's actually a really good question. I know that a lot of doctors will recommend a change in diet to help manage different psychological issues, so I can imagine that certain foods are probably more prone to stress you out and vice versa. I'm curious to see what some of the long time MFPers will say about this.

I will check back in regularly! :-D

I did when I was pregnant...but not since. Should I?

Same here! Glad to see this isn't just me. I have only been doing this a week, but I am FREEZING constantly.

Grinds my gears: My sister scoffing at me for the fish oil tablets I make, laughing and rolling her eyes. Makes my day: My brand new uber awesome jump rope!

Oooooh, here we go. I have: 3 cats- Kaida, Loki, and Raven 1 dog- He's an Irish Setter/Lab mix named Titan I also have a 75 galon saltwater aquarium with a lawnmower blenny named "Lenny", a blue cloud damsel named "Jaws" and a lionfish named "Fluffy"

Honey for me!

I don't know. I'm pretty mean. RAWR! No? Not so much? :-D

Hehe! Aww! Where are you from, Amber?

Hello and welcome!!! You'll find that this place is a virtual wellspring of awesome people and helpful information! :)

We should have a MO Meetup one day!

I'm about 10 minutes from Fort Lost-In-The-Woods. (Fort Leonard Wood) :)

Welcome! We're glad to have you!
