People who eat the same things every day
Some of my MFP friends, and quite often the successful weight loss ones, eat almost the same foods every day. Personally I could never do that and I enjoy a wide variety of things. Occasionally this trips me up as I'll eat something I think will be OK and fit into my plan and it doesn't (We won't mention the Starbuck's…

Cramp in the foot
Recently I have been increasing the duration of my swims. Up from 45 minutes to an hour or so and pushing myself to see how far I can swim in the time. The last couple of times I have got a cramp in one foot. It's not serious and goes away when I stop for a minute and exercise the foot. Does anyone know what causes this or…

Month long plateau - really fed up!
OK I may know one reason why. My kids have been off school so getting the exercise in has been difficult but I thought diet was the main thing and I have been under my calorie goals. I am 5 ft 3" age 44 female and my calories have been set to 1300. I eat some but not usually all of my exercise calories back. I have set my…

Why if I'm sticking to my goals this week have I put on 2lb?
Some serious help needed. Have made my diary public. I am a 44 year old English woman, 5'3" and currently 181 lbs which is in the obese range (not proud but those are the facts). Been on here about 2 months and have lost 11 lb so far (Oh no make that 9 lb since I just put 2lb on!). I set my goal as to lose 1lb a week and…

1000mg equals 1g of sodium !
Can people (especially UK people) please take note when they enter a new food on the database. Am I the only one who gets annoyed by having to correct sodium levels all the time?

Any swimmers out there?
I'm fairly new to MFP but not new to swimming. I used to be quite good in my youth! I am currently swimming twice a week for about 45 minutes each time. I alternate stokes between front crawl, breaststroke and backstoke (if its not busy!) and I am currently managing about 60 - 70 lengths of a 25metre pool in that time. I…

How do you believe you can do it?
I have struggled with my weight for about 20 years and although I have been up and down I have never got back to a 'normal ' healthy weight in all that time. My question is to all you successful people out there is How do you really believe in yourself enough? Maybe my problem is one of low self esteem? I really want to be…

Accuracy of database entries
Hi there. I'm fairly new to the site and finding it really good in general. I recently changed some settings on my food diary so i can track my sodium. This has made me realise that many of the items I have been using have inaccurate sodium or just have not recorded it at all. This is frustrating when I am trying to keep…
