Light headeness
Has anyone had any problems with getting light headed when they stand? I've been on my diet for 6 months with no problems. It is a healthy diet of whole foods, low carb, lots of protein several small meals a day. I am type 2 diabetic, but don't have a meter to check that. Blood sugar has been in normal range for some time…

Keeping the weight off
I am back again for round number 4. I'm about 6 months into it, and down about 45 lbs. Losing weight is not the hard part for me. Keeping it off is. I quit logging calories for one reason or another and little, by little put the weight back on. I have a healthy diet. That isn't my problem. I eat whole foods almost…

Age and 1200 calorie minimum
I notice a lot of younger people automatically think a woman is "too aggressive" at 1200 calories. Yes 1200 is the minimum set by MFP for women, but for some of us it is not aggressive at all. What some don't realize is that age is a bigger factor than even size for determining your BMR and therefore calorie base. I'm over…

Weighing ribs
I assume when something is listed as Baby back ribs (4 oz) 200 calories it is referring to the meat only. I weighed 2 ribs and they were over 7 oz with the bones in and the bones were 2 oz after I finished, so actually a little over 5 oz. of meat. Is that how people weigh these, or just guess that 2 ribs is about 200 or so…
