Losing weight but feeling constantly bloated
Since starting MFP, I have lost 18lbs but lately I've constantly been feeling bloated/fat.. Would this have something to do sodium or water intake?

Unsupportive family/friends??
In the past I've had certain family members make rude comments about my weight from the age of 15 and also this after I put on all the weight I had lost at 17. Some of the comments has really caused me to have a low self-esteem and feel uncomfortable.. How have any of you dealt with unsupportive friends or family and is it…

After eating meals, even just small snacks I always feel physically sick afterwards. Sort of like a vomit feeling and also bad stomach pains... Has anyone ever felt this way after eating, not sure if I should be concerned?

BMR confusion?!

Caffeine, alcohol & food addiction?!
For the past two years I was addicted to sugary energy drinks and would drink two a day without fail.. I would get withdrawal like symptoms if I went without one and I couldn't believe just how many calories were in one drink (225). I'm two weeks free of energy drinks and the reason I gave up this "addiction" was after…

1200 calories struggle!!
So for the past fortnight after my last major panic attack I've basically had little appetite.. I've been logging in my food and struggling to reach even 900 calories most days. Is it better to just leave it as is or should I try and force myself to snack on something?

Losing 30 pounds by 31st December
Would like to know some people's opinions on setting myself a 30 pound weightloss goal by 31st of December? I'm 5'3-5'4 and around 150 pounds so is setting a goal like this too much or is it obtainable if I was to be on 1200 calories everyday and keep up with exercise?

Losing sleep - anxiety
Does anyone have any tips for getting a good nights sleep.. I've tried drink herbal tea before bed, trying to go to bed early and eating a smaller dinner but nothing has been working. I think my anxiety might have a lot to do with it but living off 3-5 hrs sleep is becoming a burden! Any tips would be amazing thanks :)
