Muscle pain
 
Since i've been counting calories, i've noticed a light pain in all my muscles. Do you think it could be dehydration? Maybe i need a multivitamin?

BMI: 25.2

Mini goal: 149

I would definitely add a multi-vitamin. Calcium supplement too. On a reduced calorie intake, it is really hard to get enough of each nutrient. Particularly if your diet tends to be a bit repetitious.
If you aren't drinking at least 64 oz. of water, I would up that as well. I am for 72 - 84 oz. if I can manage it every day.

Are you doing any exercise?

It may be an eletrolyte imbalance. Make sure your eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. A vitamin pill isn't going to help that. Are you on a diuretic such as HCTZ or Lasix? Blood pressure meds? I suppliment with Calcium and magnesium. I get a vague crampy feeling with my potassium is off.

I'm on HCTZ which is a diuretic blood pressure med.

No...my bp is usually about 86/54. It's just normal for me, and i have to eat alot of salt just to keep it that high. No medical issue, just natural.

Started taking the multivitamins and upped the water.

Thanks, all.

I would suggest that you get some physical activity if you are able--taking walks is often good. It doesn't have to be anything super strenuous, but it might help you to feel better. Some folks also like the Walk Away The Pounds videos as a way to get started. You can sometimes find these at your library.

Water.
Exercise (even mild movement).
Something with potassium (bananas, baked potato w/ skin).
