Are they really good for you?
Okay, every one, doctors, moms, someone you don't know (kidding) says eating fruits and vegitalbles are a healthy and awsome way to stay in shape, Okay... so many of them high in calories, sugars, carbs and fat, so we know they are "good" for you, but how much really? And should one feel guilty if all they eat all day is…

Some ???
1. What are recommended proportions for fat, protein, and carb? I have heard 30,40, 30 as one -- but I always seem to be over on carbs and under on protein with that. 2. What does "bump" mean? Is it like, props/good job? Or is there a way to bump messages/posts to the top of your topics that are more important to you?…

SOMEONE HELP!
Im in a rut. I dont know what is wrong with me. Everyone at work is on a diet and openly discussing it. About how much they eat, what they eat, what they want to lose, and how fast they will all do it by. Ive found that by listening to them, hearing what these girls eat, im astounded at how dramatically different i am. I…

A month of none?
What do you think? Should I give up, for a month, the main things I enjoy completely? (eg: cheese, dairy, beef, chocolate, any sugar, useless carb snacks) to loose weight? Or will it backfire when I re-introduce them back in? I want to do something more dramatic to loose, and i cant see exercising more than 1300 cals a…

Daily Weigh ins ? Yes or No ?
Q: I was wondering, what do you think about daily weigh-ins? Also what about using a simple moving average? The problem with daily readings are that they may fluctuate based on a number of factors. You never know which is an "up" reading and which is a "down" reading. But I was thinking that the same could be true with…

Should I give up Ben & Jerry's??
Hi all, I need advice. For as long as I remember, I've been having a pint of Ben & Jerry's (my fav is Chubby Hubby) every Sunday night. This sounds sad, but it helps with the Sunday night blues. I always eat the whole pint and I've never been one to have a few spoonfuls and put it away (like my hubby who isn't chubby btw!)…

Jillian Michaels Detox?
I bought the 14 day Detox/Cleanse a while ago, and I am unsure of how it will affect my body. Like how often the first few days, I'll have to go to the bathroom. I work retail, so starting this when I work might be a bad idea, because I can't really just get up and run to the bathroom when I want. Would it be best to just…

HRM question for Polar FT7
Hello. I have seen people posting about subtracting your BMR from your calories on your HRM. The Polar FT7 comes with no requirements to set VO2 max or anything else. It just asks for age, height, weight etc. Does this HRM already account for your BMR when it gives you your calories burned, or do I need to be subtracting…

Am I the only one who doesn't like Thintervention or Biggest
I just don't like these 'reality' weight loss shows. Thintervention was on while I was at the gym today, and it was closed captioned. It seems like they spend too much time getting 'torn down' and made to feel inadequate since they are FAT, and they'll be happy once they lose weight. The negativity was just too much and…
