AMA website
ok so this site is a little techincal for the "layman", and these resources are really for doctors and health professionals, but what a great place to find information. And seriously, who can dispute information posted by the American Medical Association? I know I can't. http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/10931.html

what's better for breakfast - a bowl of special k or an oran
I'm wondering which breakfast option would be more conducive to weight loss. On the one hand, Special K promises to be healthy, but I'm worried it's just empty carbs. I don't have a kitchen so it would be inconvenient for me to prepare a more balanced meal than either of the two options. Any thoughts?

Travel scales...
We do a lot of camping and I was wondering if anyone knew of a "mini-scale" or something that you could use to weigh yourself with? We usually go for up to 3 weeks and of course, being on vacation, temptation is great. But the scale I have now is quite big - especially in a pop-up!

Remember to LIVE Life
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love…

Under the heading "You learn something new every day"
did you know that under your picture in any thread is how many times you have posted? And if you click on it, it will pull up all of YOUR recent posts (anybody's, not just your own)? Not the whole thread, just what was written by that person. I don't know how useful it is, but it's a cool thing I didn't know 5 minutes ago.…

Stress eating
Well.....since I've started this diet a week ago, I've lost 6 pounds... I have been pretty successful with my emotional eating. I haven't been running to food for comfort.

Jim's Guide For married Men
It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive, and there's nothing worse than an oversensitive, aging woman. My name is Jim. Let me relate…

The Best Price
A man and wife rushed into a dentist's office. The wife said, "I want a tooth pulled. I don't want gas or numbing cream or anything because I'm in a terrible hurry. Just pull the tooth as quickly as possible." "You're a brave woman," said the dentist. "Now, show me which tooth it is." "The wife turns to her husband and…

blood sugar/mood swings
Does anyone know if there is a connection between low blood sugar and mood swings? The reason I ask is that today I was called into a meeting and missed lunch. By the time I was able to get something I was a wreck emotionally. Not to mention just plain hungry. The last time I can remember this happening was when I skipped…

Man, I blew it today. I had a good breakfast this morning. Then my wife made enchiladas with rice and beans for lunch (left overs from last night which I didn't eat because I was working out late). I had no idea what the calories were going to be. But after I ate, I started to log what I just finished consuming. I was…
