Urine color is NOT always a good indicator of hydration. If you are not very active your urine may always be pale yellow no matter what. I was in the habit of only drinking 2 cups of coffee in the morning and not drinking anything else until maybe after supper. My urine was never dark. I was however tired, sleepy, dizzy a…

Rubbish in my opinion. Making a blanket statement on human beings in general is never accurate. Some people's only motivation to exercise is to burn the extra calories so they will lose weight and still be able to eat more than some tiny calorie amount. Some people start out only doing it for that reason but come to enjoy…

I lose about a pound a month these days. My loss slowed considerably after the first 30 pounds. It becomes a mental thing at that point. It is easy to get into the expectation that each week MUST have some loss. I have become comfortable knowing that there may be no loss for a few weeks. I know that there will be a loss…

Where are you getting this stuff??? No one is encouraging her to EAT the leftovers. However a lot of other suggestions have been made. Things like serve smaller portions, or ruin the left over food so it won't be edible or appealing, have the kids scrape their own plates after meals etc.... You may be upset because many of…

To be fair, weight loss was never mentioned as the goal. And in defense of that not everyone is here to lose weight (though many are) some people are using it as a tool for fitness, or even weight gain.

Fat is your friend. If you are having vegetables add some butter or olive oil, if you have an apple for a snack have some peanut butter with it. Also maybe if this keeps up you would want to see a doctor. You could very well need medical treatment for an illness you do not know you have.

There also seems to be a debate about left overs. I it's just a few bites of this and/or that it really isn't a big deal to me. Now something like half or more is. However this is where I get back to how much I serve. If it's something I know they don't like but want to encourage them to taste they really only get a sample…

Here's a constructive idea. When the kids are all done ask them to scrape their plates into the trash or garbage disposal, then they rinse the plates and put them into the sink. Obviously this will be doable for children who are physically capable. The 3 and under crowd may be able only to scrape a plate but not reach the…

Wow. Deep breaths. Calm down. It's just a discussion. No one wants you to encourage anything of the sort. We disagree around here from time to time. If your goal here is to convince all of the other people commenting then you may have forgotten the purpose of the thread. It's okay to have differing views. Imagine how…

Man.... I just CAN'T! My husband has taken offense because I won't drink after him. And the kids hands..... **SHUDDERS** even though they wash their hands before meals I do NOT trust that they haven't picked their nose or ear or something when my back was turned! Pass the barf bucket! We had a bag of potato chips....we put…

Cheese in general. Especially goat, gouda and brie. I just ate a half a log o goat cheese actually.

The idea of eating off of another person's plate makes me want to gag. I don't care who it is. I don't like to see wasted food either so I make sure not to give them more than they will eat. They may go back for a second serving if they are still hungry after round one.

This mayo is actually very good.

A little bot of something is better than a whole lot of nothing.

Weigh first thing in the morning after hitting the john and naked. That is how much you weigh. Weighing in the middle o the day and after chugging a crap ton o water and having eaten all through the day is NOT accurate. I will add, 2 gallons of water in a day is excessive. If you are THAT thirsty you should go see a…

How many times a day are you washing it? You know you can always skip shampoo and co-wash sometimes. Maybe if you had to wash it after the gym don't wash it before bed, or even the next morning. Just stick to washing it when it's truly necessary.

First and most importantly, are you dehydrated? This can happen very easily. Make sure you get plenty of hydration, and make sure you get enough sodium, potassium etc... So that's my first advice, next how low are your calories? Maybe you need more carbs or maybe you need to lose weight at a slower rate. Unless you are…

I look at ingredients first. If I don't like what is in it I don't eat it or serve it to my family.

That's a personal choice. I like intermittent fasting as a way of life, it is not a temporary tool that I use. You may not feel that it is something that you want to keep doing for whatever reason, and i so then by all means stop doing it. Or just do it when you eel like you want or need to. I you ind that you are slipping…

Wow! You were THERE? SMH.... Actually looks are what bring initial attraction, but that is not what holds interest. A man needs more than a handsome face or attractive body to win my heart. Speaking of all that other BS you mention, when we met over 25 years ago he was so skinny he had to run around in the shower to get…

He is obese, lays around all day, eats all during the day and night. Yep. That's a fat slob. His fitness has been known to wax and wane. When he wants to he gets in very good shape, when he is lazy he gets in very poor shape. I did not marry his shape.

The only "point" you made here is that a married person should definitely not feel free to improve their fitness or health. At this stage in a relationship physical appearance should not be so important that either person should fear driving their spouse away because their "assets" have been reduced. My husband is a fat…

You have got to be joking. Are you suggesting that by losing weight and getting in shape that the vows of marriage and expectation of fidelity have been forfeited? What do you have to even begin to defend that comment?

Mine usually comes from pacing the floor but what the snail. I'm in. Yesterday I got 6.20 miles. Will post today's at bedtime.

I will add, going over on some o your macros isn't a huge deal, unless you are eating so much o one type that it is dangerous or unhealthy. We all have our days of going over something someday. One day I swear I had triple my sodium, another day I had quadruple the fat. It can take some trial and error to get a balance.

Don't worry about it. If you are hungry eat.

Depends on where you shop actually. I like Sprouts because they have very low prices on fresh produce. If you have one near you maybe check them out.

You are about to step in a bee hive sir. This is one of those things you should definitely NOT do! The only time you should attempt to thwart a weight loss or diet and exercise effort is if it is dangerous. And right now the only thing dangerous is what you are considering. You can't change her new body but you can change…

Sounds like you expect her to be okay with being a door mat. What kind of teasing was your father doing? Not every joke is funny. If you are talking smack about her sister I would say she has a right to be upset about that. If you were talking smack about my family I wouldn't like it. If someone said that you said what you…
