Mouth odors
Have any of you experienced bad breath from your spouse or girlfriend during dieting or just general bad dental hygiene ? I was unfortunate enough to encounter that dilemma from someone i was dating and the odor was horrendous . I doubt mints flossing or brushing will help

Also i would like to know what kind of juicer do you own . I use the Breville juicer but thinking of a drastic upgrade to the Angel cold press juicer which costs over $1000 but…

Juice fast
I have been off this site for 8 months . I could not maintain a 14 to 1500 calorie a day plan which is essential if you really want to lose weight. I know i will get skeptics but the only real solution for me was to go on juice fast I am on day 7 and i lost 11 lbs . MFP is great but what i lost in 7 days would have taken…

water weight
Why is that when you lose a few pounds most jealous or negative people brush it off as water weight? So when do you actually know if you are burning real fat or just water? Honestly what is the difference as long as the scale shows a loss in weight instead of a gain?

not progressing the way i want
When i first joined mfp on april 14 i lost 14 or 15 lbs in a very short time. It is now aug 10 and my progress has not budged in quite some time. I started at 281 and i am now 268 . That 268 has been around for quite some time. At one point i got down to 264 but it never got past that. I stopped reporting my food diary for…

TRYING VEGAN
Today is my 7th meatless day in a row. I dont miss eating meat but then again if someone offered me a steak or corned beef sandwich i might not turn it away, However i wont go out of my way to purchase meat in the grocery. Many go vegan not so much for the health benefits but because the idea of slaughtering animals is…

Vitamix 7500
This woman at my job sold me on the Vitamix machine last week She had bought the 5200 which was the most recent model from 2007 until the newer model 7500 came along.. I bought the 5200 yesterday. When i saw her today she told me she bought the 7500 over the weekend because it can blend rocks. I asked her what will you do…

Decided to buy the Vitamix even though i cant afford it Got it at BB and beyond for $427 including tax and the 20% off coupon. I think BB and bey is the only store that actually has it in stock. Most of the other retail outlets like Macys Walmart Sears sell it on the net with delivery . . Unwrapped it but have yet to try…

vitamix
Anyone out there own a Vitamix blender? I bought the Nutrabullit in dec but there are a few drawbacks to it, Not much room in the container and cutting up veggies and fruits. Also i notice that as time wore on, i have to turn the container a few times when its on the base of the machine to get it to work. I heard rave…

vitamix continued
If anyone knows where i can get a vitamix (not 2 speed 4500) for $350 or less let me know. Im trying to scrap up some cash to buy it , but its way too expensive for my budget. I can get a refurb for $350 at vitamix .com but i hate waiting for delivery. I put my nutribullet up for sale and people are jumping at it for $55…

unclean eating
when checking out other members food diaries i am impressed only with members that are unclean eaters . When i say that i mean members that eat stuff that some say are bad for you in moderation (pizza ribs, cookies etc) but still stay under their daily caloric intake. They also burn close to 1000 calories a day doing…

complaints about scale
One thing i learned to avoid is to ***** about lack of progress on the scale. I find that if you throw yourself into a forum full of people , it will do more harm than good. One will tell you you are not doing enough of this , one will tell you to cut back on something else. One will tell you your not eating enough , one…

Subway is salt
You will lose weight sticking with subway heroes as they advertise small amounts of calories and fat grams on their menu. However they fail to mention the sodium intake which is in the 600 range for 6'' sandwich and 1200 for 12' footlong. If you have high blood pressure not a good idea to indulge

the scale
decided the other day to weigh myself once a week or maybe every 10 days. Day by day procedure is not really reflective upon how much weight you lose over the long haul. Its like the cost per dollar ratio in the stock market. Real investors never check their stock earnings or losses every day

Has a great amount of health benefits attached. The other question . I bought mulitvitamin but i noticed that it only has 30 IU Vitamin E and almost no saw…

Include nibbling in food diary?

I realize if you dont report every single drop of food you put in your mouth , you are only fooling yourself but there are rare occasions i will do the taste test…

counting calories works
I am on MFP since april 14 and i must say it is so far an enjoyable experience. To be able to eat whatever you want as long as you stay within daily calorie range is far better than these fad diets, atkins macrobiotic diet fruit diets shakes etc. Every diet lacks an ingredient you crave for. Back in the 1970's and 80's…

food scale update
i recently inquired about a food scale that calculates fat sodium carbs calories etc. Thanks to a reply from a MFP member i was able to find the link on amazon and thought about purchasing the item. I am hesitant for two reasons 1. Might not sync with MFP dropdown food menu which makes it easy to calculate any food…

food scale
Does anyone know if there is a food scale that actually measures the amount of calories , fat and sodium grams when you put the food on the scale? I know it sounds far fetched but with the age of modern technology i would expect it to hit the market one of these days
