IV fluid weight gain
I just got out of the hospital, and they were pumping me full of IV fluids. To my dismay, I discovered that I gained 7 pounds when I got home. I ate like a bird when I was there because I was nauseous, so it was not from overeating. Has this happened to anyone else, and how long did it take you to lose the water weight?…

bragg's apple cider vinegar
Has anyone used this for a long period of time? What have the benefits been for you? I have been having a tablespoon everyday for the past week and I've noticed that my digestion is much, much better.

working out with minor injuries?
I started crossfit training last week. Felt nice and sore all week. I go to pick up my son today and I stepped down off a curb and pinched something in my neck/ shoulder area. I was looking forward to working out tonight (can't miss my burpee challenge) but I'm wondering if I should rest through it instead? I don't want to…

post pregnancy body type change
Has anyone else noticed that no matter how much weight you lose, you can never get the desired look you want because your body has totally changed after pregnancy? I feel discouraged because I feel like I look the same way I did at 160 pre- babies as I do at 140 post babies.

the last few freaking pounds
I keep bouncing between the last few pounds. Five pounds may not seem like a lot but I've come so close, just to go up a pound or two again! I really want to be below 145 before I start working on toning so that if I gain a little I'll still be in the range I want to be in. How did you guys lose the last couple pounds and…

pregnant, period or ovulating? (TMI warning)
Okay, I've had two kids.. but I didn't find out until about 4 months with both. So I'm clueless. I've been excessively hungry, put on two pounds, slightly crampy, and had brown blood spotting after my period ended around the 24th of last month. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative, but I had three negative at home…

seizures?
I wasn't sure where to post this... I have been dieting for three months and have lost almost 15 pounds. I have always gotten blackouts randomly throughout my life, but they were rare. When I started dieting, I would get reoccuring bouts of dizziness and spots behind my eyes, to the point where I'd have to grab hold of…

how do i politely tell my roommate she's a slob?
Okay, I live in a townhouse with my husband, eight month old, and our roommate. She's a great girl, and I love her to death... but she is such a slob. I already have so much cleaning to do with an eight month old, and I wasn't the cleanest person myself so I put extra effort into it. She hoards dishes and silverware in her…

what is your body fat %?
I'm trying to get a handle on what different body fat percentages look like (especially for women) because it seems the body fat charts I've seen are rather off. According to ones I've seen I would have been obese at 156 pounds at 32%- yeah, I was overweight.. not obese. Now I'm at 28.7% at 149- "average"- and I still look…

what does your baby drink?
My son is 9 months old on the 15th, he's a great eater, in fact he will eat anything put in front of him. I want to start giving him something besides formula and vegetable& fruit juice. I was about to buy him some almond or coconut milk, but I know allergies can develop if nuts are introduced to soon. He's had coconut…

muscle loss..
I am a stay at home mom, and my little family only has one car, so I make it to the gym once a week, twice if I'm lucky because my SO works so often. I weighed myself at the gym today and I went down about 3% in body fat but lost about 1/4- 1/2 pound of muscle over the past month that I didn't get to the gym. Is this…

I DID IT
I finally ordered a mini dress online. I have always wanted to do this! Here it is: http://m.gojane.com/74489-dresses-houndstooth-bodycon-dress.html The awesome things about this: This means I didn't have to try on 5 sizes first and then leave the dressing room frustrated and with no dress. I don't have to be upset that…

big women
I've noticed that most women on here are tiny and trying to get down in the 120-110s. That's awesome for them, but I'm a big girl at 5'8", and I need more friends that have goals like mine! My starting weight on mfp was 165, I'm at 160, and my goal is 149. Anyone else similar to me? Please don't tell me I'm the only Amazon…

is it okay to NOT feel sore after lifting?
I am a newbie to lifting, I had been doing light weights at home but I felt it was time to join a gym. So I did some leg presses, chest presses, etc. It felt great but I'm not sore. Is this a bad thing? Shouldn't I be tearing muscle for new growth? Wouldn't that make me sore? Please enlighten me

why don't you love yourself?
I read a lot of self-hate and self-loathing posts on here. I feel like support and therapy is something that is missing from a lot of "diets". This was confirmed in my mind when I read the story of the "650 pound virgin" who lost 400 pounds only to gain it all back in two years. He attributed this to mental instability and…

weird question concerning knee fat
Does anyone else have that unattractive area of fat on the inside of their knee? I'm not that overweight so I'm hoping it will go away after I lose a few more pounds... has this happened to anyone, or is it just an age thing? I'm hoping it will because I love to wear knee high socks.

low blood sugar? i'm not sure.
I've been at this religiously for twelve days, eating 1200- 1500 net calories a day. I've cut out red meat and fowl but I'm pretty good about making up for nutrients and protein I may have lost because of this. I've lost 5 pounds and I feel pretty good except for the fact that I get lightheaded and dizzy a couple times a…

pure laziness
It really bugs me when people circle the parking lot 20 times to get a spot right in front of the store entrance or hold up traffic for five minutes to wait someone to leave from the third spot when there's an empty spot ten spots down. Is it that bad to walk a few more feet?!
