Potatoes and Potassium
This is probably a stupid question, but I am curious to the answer. When I cook my potatoes with skin on, be it frying, baking, etc, does it affect the potassium amount?

Fitbit Stride
I have a One. A few weeks ago I setup my stride length using my treadmill via some instructions I read here that heybales had given another user, but when I walk, my One shows a further distance than the treadmill, and when I run my One shows a shorter distance than my treadmill. Does this mean I still do not have it setup…

Lifting weights while in a deficit
I am currently in the process of losing fat/weight. I have been doing Stronglifts 5x5. My question is what do I do when I stall? Do I continue to lift the weight I am able, or is there another alternative?

Lifting at home
I know there's a lot of topics on this but I am looking for something specific to the equipment I have. My goal is to lose weight/fat. I understand (or believe I do, I could be wrong) that I will be unable to do true heavy lifting at home without a rack, which currently I do not have. I am wondering what I can do with what…

Looking for active friends
Been on MFP awhile though not active in forums much. I do not eat clean so if this is offensive, you may want to skip me. I am a self proclaimed geek and love Doctor Who, Star Trek, Firefly to name a few plus some gaming (though admittedly not hardcore). If you would like an active friend, please add me :)

Exercise recommendation
I am fat. I want to lose fat (and some weight too). I have been running 5 days a week (I am not fast or anything, 5mph is what I do for 50 minutes + warmup and cool down walk 5 minutes each) + have been doing Turbo Fire and a Boyd Pump/Body Combat hybrid. Last week I cut out the Turbo Fire but I am still working out about…

Suggestions please
I posted this on another group and did get some feedback from heybales. I am not dismissing his advice but thought it couldn't hurt to also have some more input :) I have been using the spreadsheet by heybales. It shows I should eat around 2800 calories a day. I do not. I usually get in around 2300. I workout a lot (about…

For the first time in a very long time, I bought jeans that were not from the 'Plus' section of the store :) First time adding picture so I hope this works :/

Hypothyroidism
I am wondering if anyone with hypothyroidism has had success with EM2WL? I started at 330 pounds in 2008. I lost 150 pounds by eating around 1500 calories and doing circuit training (ie 3DS and others) 4 or 5 days a week. I then got insurance and started seeing a doctor, was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and put on…

Shoes for women with very wide feet.
My feet are 4 inches across. I find it difficult to find decent shoes at all much less any under 100 bucks. Anyone have any advice for shoes to workout in? I do aerobics and lifting and just started C25k as well.

Polar FT4 issue...maybe
I just recently got my first HRM and boy what an opener. I have noticed, at times during my workouts, the screen on the watch part will flash back to the clock then back to the HRM readout. Is this normal or is it something I could be doing? Sorry if this has been asked previously, I did search..I promise ♥

Cardio on lifting days
I am fairly new to MFP, very new to lifting and not so new to cardio. My question is about doing cardio on days I lift. I found a video on youtube for a 5 minutes HIIT routine and I am wondering if I do it 2-3 times on a day I lift, will it be enough? Here is how the routine is laid out - Workout Structure 2 Bodyweight…

New with maybe a dumb question
I am still rather heavy (body weight) and am wondering should I wait to start this when I am closer to goal or...?

New with a couple questions
I asked this in one of the sticky topics but realized maybe that was the wrong place. I tried to delete it there but seen no option to do so and I apologize for the double post. Hi everyone. My name is Michelle and I am glad to have stumbled upon this awesome group. I am like a lot of people and have always believed less…
