Bloating at night
I guess I need opinions, please. For some reason, when I get up in the morning, most mornings, my rings are very tight. I have tried to restrict my salt and I have tried drowning myself with lots of water, trying to flush sodium out of my body. Nothing seems to help. After I have been up for a while, the swellin goes down…

want to add lifting but, I'm broke.
I need advice from anyone who can help. I think its time to add some lifting into my routine. The problem is, I cannot afford to join a gym.

I Need Advice
I am feeling very discouraged. I switched jobs 3 weeks ago and now, instead of spending most of the day on my feet, I spend most of it sitting at a desk. I made the necessary adjustments in MFP and 2 weeks ago, things looked ok. Since then, things have really gone down hill. Last week, I wasn't able to fit in any exercise.…

funny NSV
Where I work, the public toilets are all auto-flushed via an electric eye that "sees" when you have moved away from the toilet . Then, it flushes. In one of the bathrooms, the stalls are pretty cramped and, in the past, I have had to really suck it in while standing sideways just to get the toilet to flush. Today, I…

Hello
My name is Karen. I am 48 years old and the mother of teen-age twins who are in college. I am new here, having just heard about this website from a co-worker. He told me his wife had lost over 50 Lbs over the summer. I'm hoping for new friends and some inspiration.
