Need to increase sodium - helpful ideas??

Their suggestions on how to do that were to add table salt to my meals, or try to eat more foods like pretzels or potato chips which are salty. However, I rather dislike salty-tasting foods! Lol I’ve always bought…

Hey all! Please hear me out and please don't be mean :p This is just a silly thought that popped in my head, and want to have a fun conversation!

I've heard the concept that to really achieve your goals, you have to be obsessed with them, and think about them constantly. Now, I think constantly may be a little much, but at least think of them…

Don't you love it when...
No matter how big or small, all successes are so motivating! What successes make you smile all day or help keep you going when things are tough? What is it that has you saying, "Don't you love it when..."? Don't you love it when you have a little surprise on the scale? I did this morning and it renewed my faith in the…

What's your why?
Your health? Your family? Want to impress that cute guy at work? To inspire jealousy at the reunion? I feel strongly that there's no such thing as a 'bad' reason.

Squat Vs. Deadlift?
I have a stupid question, please don't judge. What's the difference between a squat and a deadlift? Does anyone have like, a side-by-side video or anything? I feel really dumb but there seems to be a difference that I'm not seeing, either physically or conceptually. Thanks!

MFP app on Windows phone

Changing menstration?
Hi ladies! I wasn't sure how to title this...sorry I'm awkward :neutral: I am usually super on schedule when I menstruate, I know precisely when they will come, and they're always the same; same feelings, pms symptoms, flow rate & number of days. Very regular (thanks to my b.c.) But this month is really weird! It's early!!…
