alarming rash on my testicles

lilRicki

thank you for the beautiful comments about women, despite the fact that I clicked on the page to see what kind of STD you had lol....I take extra care of my skin, because my son curls up next to me and runs his hands up and down my arms while he watches t.v. He told me I'm soft like a stuffy, and that melted my heart lol...I get an awesome back rub every single night because my skin is soft, and my fiance loves the feeling of it...so the back rub isn't for me necessarily lol he's just stemming. I got the best compliment last night, my fiance told my son, that if it weren't for me, we wouldn't have such a nice home, football practice to go to, healthy food to eat or nice clothes to wear. I take good care of the ones I love, and they show their appreciation.

What an idiot.

Use nice language or the powers that be will getchya.
And besides- YOU clicked on the link... does it say more about the poster or the clicker? Were you disappointed there were no pictures?

That is nice language. I'm disappoiinted that there are so many people that find this funny. It's the MFP equivalent of MTV Reality shows.

The 'I' word is against forum rule #4, Name Calling.

Thanks for pointing that out. I won't use it again. What a funny guy.

How dare you post something fun on the chit-chat, fun, and games board. So mature.

You're right. I apologize. I shouldn't be in here.

Someone needs to eat more fiber.

It's in the appropriate section. Why do you think I didn't post it on the main board. Here is an example of what I DO post on the main board:

Great article again Steve but these things stand out for me and lots of people miss this point.

In your other long running thread here:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/113609-relatively-light-people-trying-to-get-leaner?page=17

you mention how a low calorie approach coupled with lots of exercise can make a person's weight loss plan go pear shaped (quite literally) due to the cumulative effect of stress over time on the body.

Howver, many people also forget what you mention above: that calorie needs are variable. Following on from this by devoting more energy resources to one variable of the calorie expenditure / energy balance equation (such as exercise) you will affect other variable negatively, especially so when calories are restricted heavily.

Many people follow this kind of rigid logic: I need say 2200 calories per day to maintain my weight. To lose 1lb fat = 500 calories per day reduction, to lose 2lbs then 1,000 calories per day. So if I want to lose 2lb then I should be eating 2,200 - 1,000 = 1,200 calories per day over 7 days.

However, I'm ambitious. I want to lose 3lbs per week. So I also add in 500 calories per day worth of exercise. Seems to make perfect sense right? After all the less I eat and the more exercise I do the greater my calorie / energy deficit and so the more fat I should lose given the 1lb of fat = 3,500 calorie "rule."

However is this always true?

Let's look at the equation you mentioned above:

Calorie expenditure = BMR + TEF + TEA + NEAT/SPA

TEF is the thermic effect of food / eating. This loosely means the amount of energy it takes your body to process food and is roughly calculated at 10% of total intake. Therefore if I eat 1,000 less calories a day I will actually be burning 100 less calories a day than before because of reduced TEF. My actual deficit is 900 from diet. A small reduction perhaps but now lets turn to TEA.

This is the thermic affect of activity, or specifically exercise. I am aiming to burn 500 calories each and every day. However, I am also eating much less than usual meaning my power resources are limited. What then happens to the NEAT/SPA part of the equation? NEAT/SPA is non exercise activty thermogensis or spontaneous physical activity. This is what I would do on a day to day basis to include generally moving round, fidgeting and so on. Because I am so tired from reduced calories and excessive exercising my NEAT/SPA falls dramatically. I am too knackered to take the stairs anymore so I use the lift more often. Forget about taking the dog for a walk in the evening, I want to lie on the coach.

I think that it is very easy to forget how many little pockets of activity you do, which over the course of a day adds up to total activity which is greater than you could imagine. Changes in NEAT/SPA can have a dramatic affect on calorie expenditure. Lets say I have busted my *kitten* in my morning workout. I feel virtuous that I have burned off 500 calories. I am also knackered to the extent that I reduce the amount of NEAT/SPA I do by say, 25 calories an hour over the 16 hours I remain awake. 25 calories per hour x 16 hours = 400 calories. Translation? That busting my *kitten* in the gym has only made an actual difference of 100 calories. The cost? I am tired, irritable, I have spent less time with my loved ones, I can't concentrate.

I have seen people advise others on here that they raised their calories by say 300 a day which triggered their weight loss again. The general rationale is that the increased calories got them out of "starvation mode." Is it that or is it simply more likely that water balance issues played out or by adding more calories they had sufficient power resources to not only to do a decent workout but also maintain their NEAT/SPA activities at a higher level coupled with an increased TEF? This meant an overall greater calorie expenditure despite the increased food intake.

Add the changes in TEF & NEAT/SPA to the cumulative affect of stress that a low calorie, tons of exercise approach has to fat storage and you can see why some people end up hitting a brick wall. To lose more you have to do more? Not necessarily....

If you could care to discuss it then I would be more than happy to do so.

Thanks for the laugh...

I LOVE that all my "friends" will now see on their newsfeed that I replied to a thread about a testicle rash....

My roommate is a single guy, early 30's. He said the same thing about women. He says that he likes having a woman in the house (a female roommate) because she makes things softer...like, the couch is more comfortable. And we smell better and are pretty to look at.

Tabasco should clear that right up.

You're welcome.

Yep! Works wonders and numbs the area like a charm.

Also try the new Habanero Pepper briefs..... As seen on T.V.

Unlike women, men generally don't care to talk about what is or isn't coming out of their crotch. If it's really that bad that you can't figure it out, go to the doctor. Sure we could get on here and have tons of threads on morning wood, ED, PE, testicle rashes/pain,burning urination, debate the best underwear to run in, and ***** about everthing under the sun. However, I think the ladies have the market cornered on personal issues, lord knows only women have personal problems. The difference is guys don't see our penis/testicle problems as a community event. =-)

Sounds like you might need some chocolate and Midol.
