TEAMS
Alright guys! I just couldn't wait to whip up an awesome Excel sheet, so I made the teams earlier than planned. :bigsmile: We've decided that the teams can come up with their own names! I've given teams random names for now (unless you all lack creativity, then they'll probably stay as is :p ). I'll create a thread for…

Glucose Levels and Blood Pressure
So, my boyfriend has high glucose levels and somewhat high blood pressure. His blood pressure has decreased over the past year, while his fasting glucose levels have actually gotten higher (he's still in the "pre-diabetes" zone). For reference, he's 33, 170 lbs, 5'8", nonsmoker. 1. I read that blood pressure meds can…

Foot/Ankle pain question
I couldn't really figure out where best to post this, so hopefully it's okay here. Also, I hope it's not too confusing... it's difficult to explain because I can't find anything from google searches. So, I've had pain in my right foot on and off for a while (years). It get has gotten more frequent when I started…
Long time lurker, first time poster
Alright, maybe it's not my first, but I'm pretty sure it is. I figure it's time to introduce myself. I've been using MFP for a couple years, on and off. When I use it to track calories I lose weight. When I don't, I gain. I'm currently at my highest weight, so I now have about 100 lbs to lose, and I'm kinda short. In the…
