Water - Electrolytes - Salt - Cramps
I've been getting cramps fairly regularly and have been buying pills, popping salt straight from the shaker, and drinking pickle juice to increase/replace electrolytes; but still my calves and feet are cramping really easily. Sometimes a cramp will completely freeze my foot, and I have to free it by hand! I was reading…

Does keto affect nicotine addiction?
If some people start eating when they quit smoking, can keto help them kick both?

Does Lo-carb WOE empower Leptin effect?
Ghrelin - hormone to increase hunger Leptin - hormone to cut hunger I was told that bariatric surgery decreased Ghrelin (after surgery I had no hunger for a year). So I wondered if a Lo-carb WOE blocked Ghrelin, since it feels similar. But the studies I found indicated there was no real correlation between a Lo-carb WOE…

ILVERMORNY?
@cpanus @zumbaforever @kar1959 Hi Chris & Shelley (Kathy?), Seems like the new headmistress (see below) has requested a command performance. I'd been considering ghosting in again just to be a smart aleck and since I respond to needs, the invite kind of clinches it. Want to ghost with me? The only requirement is that you…

Invitation Question
Shelley & Chris, A quick question. Now that the LOTR challenge has ended, is it all right to invite the people in our group to join here? They may like having this level of commitment to give them an incentive to keep rocking it. I know I do. <3 <3 Love you, Paula

Where to settle?
Here's me with my brother a few years ago and with my nieces (his daughters) a few months ago. I chose sleeve because doctors said people usually lose 80% excess weight instead of just 60% with lapband. But I'm here to tell you it's possible to loose 100%. I'm 5'9" and got down to 138 pounds (couldn't eat due to medical…

MFP won't track diary completions under 1,000 calories
If you ate less than 1,000 calories in a day, and clicked on the "complete this entry" button at the bottom of the food diary, MFP will tell you that you didn't eat enough, and it will not announce it on your profile. So if you want your friends to look at your diary, either (1) they're going to have to look at it without…

New formatting
If you move the announcements to discussions, they will let us know who posted last and how many new messages there are since we last looked at the page. If you leave them in announcements, it only says who created it, and we have to look at every one to see if there is anything new on them. Preferences? Paula

How long for your body shape to stabilize?
Can any long-time maintainers comment on how long it took your bodies to stabilize, like for the skin to tighten up and things like that, after you lost your weight? The doctor said maybe a year or so, but it would be nice to hear from people who have actually been there and done that. I've lost 140 pounds and have lots of…

Dimples or marbles in legs
My upper legs feel like they have marbles under the skin. It's really odd! Other people tell me they have dimples. I was searching for info on this phenomena, and one of the threads had this link: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/of-whooshes-and-squishy-fat.html If this is correct, it seems the fat may just…

Helping friends with challenges.
Hi all. It's bothering me that the most recent post in this amazing group is two days ago. I am getting so fond of everyone and don't want to lose you! Is that just because it's the weekend? Hey, some of our friends are having a tough time during this season. Personally, I'm hitting the part where I can eat more and am…

Halloween challenge, anyone?
Halloween has been my downfall after many great weight losses. Candy calls to me, saying "Oh one won't hurt..." then "Just one more..." then eventually "Well, you've blown it now, might as well keep going." And it takes months to get back on track and start all over. So now I'm not allowed to take even the first bite.…

Does intestinal flu cause malabsorption?
A friend just had a bad flu and couldn't keep anything in her system. Since we went out to lunch last week, she was afraid it might affect me. If we do get an intestinal flu and can't keep food down or in, does it impact us more than normal? Should we be concerned about not being able to get enough nutrients?
