Dating and weight loss
So, I have been dating more recently and have had some weird personal experiences I didn't think I would have with dating. I definitely feel more confident overall, but still notices some places I have to work on. Is it just me or do you feel weird telling people you are dating about your weight loss at first? It is…

Caffeine intolerance?
Here recently, I have had a hard time drinking coffee without getting super jittery and a heart racing sensation. I had one cup today and could not sit still. I used to drink coffee nearly every day, but am having to avoid it now because of these side effects. Has anyone else noticed this before? I have not had a ton of…

Weight change after Easter weekend
So, I went home this Easter weekend with plans not to really track. I did not have just Easter lunch, but went out to dinner with other family members, so it turned into a cheat 4 day weekend. Once I came back home, I decided to wait a couple of days to weigh (because of water weight). I still fully expected to have gained…

Bruising more easily?
I might just be noticing it more, but I feel like I bruise a lot more easily/frequently over the last few weeks, especially on my legs. I have read a couple of articles where they say this is common during weight loss, but could also mean a nutritional deficiency (Vit C, K, etc). I'm also pretty fair skinned, so even old…

It's the little things!
Yesterday, I got my first comment from someone about how they noticed I had lost weight. We usually have to wear kind of baggy clothes for our uniform, but yesterday was our business casual day, so I can wear something a little more form fitting. I also had to breakdown and buy new dress pants yesterday because my other…

3500 mg potassium daily difficult?
I have been looking at what nutrients I frequently reach and which I don't. I have noticed it is really difficult to reach the 3500 mg of potassium set by MFP. Does anyone else find the same? If you don't, what have you been eating to reach this goal?

Crossed over into overweight territory!
Today I have officially lost 24 pounds since the heaviest I have been in May 2017. Now, I am no longer considered obese and just overweight. I still have a long ways to go, but it is nice to no longer have that label. It has probably been 5 or 6 years since I have been this weight! I still feel like I can't tell I have…

Hot versus iced coffee caffeine "kick"
I have recently found that hot coffee gives me much more of a caffeine "kick" than iced coffee. Even if it is the same coffee and caffeine content, hot does it better for me. Does anyone else find this to be true for them too?

Good leggings for running?
I am working up to jogging intermittently during my walks (yay!), but my current pairs of leggings slide down under my stomach every time I run. Any recommendations on leggings that stay up for you during runs? A little inner pocket for keys is a bonus!

What do you do on the elliptical/treadmill/bike?
I was just curious what other people do during cardio exercises. I have found that music and audiobooks have been really helpful for me, but it doesn't hurt to add to things I could do.

Some energy boosting foods for long shifts?
Hey guys! Does anyone have any foods they have foods they have found to be healthy and good for boosting energy? I work at the hospital where I rarely get a chance to sit down for about 10 to 12 hours at a time and usually snack whenever we have a moment on whatever is available in our lounge. I don't really get a lunch…
