Renpho Scale Accuracy??

How do I lose weight instead of building muscle???
Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read!! I am 5’1 and ~159 (down from 165, woo!), but I feel I’ve reached a standstill.

Premature Ventricular Contractions after exercise?
A.k.a those annoying heart palpitations where you feel an abnormal thud beat, a pause, and then it goes back to normal. >.> Does anyone else get these? I tend to get them a lot after exercise, which I guess is just related to the epinephrine. If so, does anyone know how to reduce the frequency naturally? They don’t hurt…

Sleeping after eating makes you gain weight... myth or truth?
Hello all, I am a medical student and I often eat at odd times and sleep when I can, so I was wondering if it was true if it makes you more likely to gain weight if you sleep after eating? Or is it still just about daily calorie intake? Thanks!

Did I really gain that much weight in a day?? Also, I didn’t eat breakfast yet when I weighed myself yesterday, but I did today. Thank you!

From you guys that have been using MFP or have been losing weight for awhile, how do you get past the feeling that you completely failed when you go over your calories? It’s so hard for me not to obsess over it.

Trying to accept being bigger and healthy.
I am currently 5’2 and 162 pounds. I recently had bloodwork done at my physical and all of my labs were good (cholesterol and LDL very low, HDL very high) and my calculated cardiac risk ratio was below the average person. However, my BMI right now is technically “obese” and it’s driving me crazy. I don’t want to be obese…
