Airy feeling in stomach?
Hey, I was wondering with all of the people on different diets here maybe someone can answer my question. Every once in a while, I wake up feeling very "airy" in my stomach and upper intestines. This persists throughout the day, to the point where if I eat anything my stomach cramps up like it does when it is full.…

Small NSV but good one
I have only lost 10 lbs but I am feeling the need to go out and buy belts today because my pants keep sliding down my waist! I haven't done it for a while because I was sure it was just an anomaly and I would bloat up again just like normal and not need belts... But I think it is time!

Slow loss for mod ovrwt (40 lb) short people? (5'2")
Not really disappointed in my loss or anything, but I was wondering if anyone feels like (or has noticed) that short people with a moderate amount of weight to lose generally lose it slower than the taller people or ones with larger goals? I'm talking mostly about people doing 1 lb a week, with proper caloric intakes, etc.…

Young adult girls trying to lose weight
Here's me with another question/thought :) I was wondering if the younger girls on the site here (between 18 and 25) are aware that their bodies are still maturing hormonally and physically?

Does MFP account for increasing BMR or lowering BF%?
I was mulling over my food diary and thought of a question. Right now, with my current health and activity level, my goal cal is at 1500. What happens if I lose weight and exercise more, but my "general daily activity level" doesn't increase... Does MFP account for increased BMR via muscle gain? So theoretically if my body…

Below kcal goal for a few days (200 each), eat more today?
I have a question- If I am under my calorie goal for a few days in a row, say 200 less, then could I go over my goal today by 100 to 200 cals and not see anything negative? I want to have a low fat treat this evening but it would probably put me over my cals by a hundred or so. My rationale sees this as something ok, as…

Lentil Soup with Spinach and potato recipe!
So I wanted to share my weekend experiment with you all! I loved campbells lentil soup when I was younger, and felt like I needed to make some of my own, since it is very filling and overall delicious. Here is my version of the recipe (I don't like so many spices, so it was heavily modified from…

Under/at calories, over on other macronutrients?
So I was wondering if it is a bad thing to meet the caloric requirement, but end up being over on things like Protein, Fiber, and Sodium? Carbs and Fat I know are better if kept at goal or lower and- Sugar I have no issues with (no sweet tooth) Comments?

Afraid to start... but taking the plunge.
Hi MFP So here I am, finally tired of how I feel and look... trying to figure out if I really belong to this awesome community of people. BTW: I just finished writing this, and apparently I have a lot to say. Hear me out, I think it's mostly for my psychological well-being! I've been a lurker for about a year... maybe…
