I can understand people looking for a quicker way to lose weight. I really can, but when it comes down to miraculously losing 10lbs in 3 days, something isn't right somewhere. I keep seeing this 3 day military diet all over pinterest and I finally sat down with a pen, paper and calculator and figured some things out. (my…

Coffee Conundrum
I'm a coffee drinker. Well, in terms that I drink one cup when I wake up in the morning because I can't seem to wake up enough otherwise. (I sleep enough, I just don't think I sleep well). My issue is that coffee really really does not like my digestive track, or more importantly, my bowel. (how embarrassing). I have had…

Potassium?
I see that MFP tracks potassium. I'm a little curious. Is it something that you should try to get the amount stated daily, like vitamin c or is it something like sodium that you should try to not consume as much of? Any answers on this one?

I gain weight if I eat "normally"
So, I haven't logged in awhile, because of health issues, but here is my issue. I'd appreciate some input. When I first lost a lot of weight I didn't do it the right way. This was not intentional. It was the result of lack of education. I under ate without realizing it for an extended period of time. It has been over a…

Aiming to improve mile time?
I've just started running. Today was the first time I ever managed to do a mile straight without stopping. It took me about 12.5 minutes. I'm rather short (5'4), does anyone have an idea what would be a good goal to set for improvement? (other than just improving by anything)

Eating more?
I've just gotten a fitbit and I've been trying to follow the guidelines it's been giving me for calories. That being said, what it is suggesting is higher than what I normally go for. My weight hasn't gone down. It's gone up about 1.5lbs so far. Should I keep going and give it a week or two? Stop now before I gain too…

"when's the baby coming?"
I don't know about you guys, but this is seriously the worst thing that someone can say to me. At work today, I had a woman come up to me and ask me when the baby was coming. When I told her that I'm not expecting, she looked at me and mumbled something about it being the style of my skirt. That offhand comment officially…

Beyond frustrated and need answers please
I keep gaining weight. It doesn’t matter what I eat or how active I am. I’m 5’4 and currently (and embarrassingly) 173lbs. From what I’ve done in calculations, my BMR is 1600-ish. If I wanted to maintain my weight, the internets tell me that I need 2200. (I don't) How is it that if I eat about 1400-1500 calories daily that…

Can you predict what size you will be?
I'm nearing the end of my weight loss journey and I probably have another 20lbs or so to take off. I carry most of it in my tummy, thighs and some in my behind.
