omg funny!

you're using a big mac as an example of something you "could" eat in IIFYM, but you think nobody SHOULD. everyone else is probably just following suit. you'd have to pay me some pretty big money to eat an actual big mac, but substitute it for two slices of cheese pizza from domino's, it's the same damn thing. YOU don't…

i would like you to identify EXACTLY what is a scam about it? the 21 day fix does NOT promise to fix all your problems like a magic pill in 21 days. it DOES mean that the workouts cycle through in 21 days. THAT is where the name came from, NOT some ripoff promise that you're making up - i have never heard outrageous claims…

i was going down to my basement and up again over and over. which is why i got confused! i guess i'll just have to figure out what their heart rate threshold is.

no, it does not. it tells me how much total sugar i've had, which is useful. how much fat, carbs, etc - which is what i record AFTER i eat it. i have tried different methods previously but the PLANNING end of it is difficult, which makes it difficult to follow good practices when bad days happen. again, i am only speaking…

i am not a beachbody coach. it's a tool. useful to some, not to others. weight watchers is a tool too. works for some, not for others. they too give you guidelines on how to eat and encourage you to get exercise. if something helps me make sure i get as many vegetables as i need, that's a tool. if something helps me get…

it's not a quick gimmick. the title would have you believe it is - the 21 days refers to the length of a cycle of going through the exercises. it includes exercise CDs of 30 minutes length that you do every day in a given succession. i'm sure you'll agree, working out for 30 minutes a day helps you get your calorie burn.…

are any of you who are doing insanity obese (BMI 35+)? if so, how are you finding it? i did their fit test which was totally abysmal but that's just where i'm at today, not where i'm going ;)

i'll answer this on behalf of no one but myself. i DO weigh and measure every morsel. it has helped immensely with monitoring caloric intake and macronutrient intake, but i still feel like my diet is way off because myfitnesspal doesn't distinguish between the sugar i just ate from my strawberries and the sugar my kid ate…

that's appalling. i'm a stay at home mom and if i had the well paying job my husband would likely be the one staying home with the kids and he'd be damn good at it. chin up. chauvanism exists, but at least it's slowly moving in the right direction.

gained 20 lbs for each new psych med i went on (i'm on several, citalopram being one of them) with the exception of bupropion (wellbutrin) which made me lose such is life. i don't like being morbidly obese but it's certainly better than being suicidal.

you're not the only one with a fat pubis. allover fat loss is the only thing to help.

the higher powered nutribullet is a great investment. our original one died in about a year.

i did all that and i'm not entirely sure it's working. i THINK it is now.. not sure. also, does anyone else's fitbit show a vastly different HR compared to a cardio machine? my fitbit seems to think i wasn't working very hard.

i have a simple rule when it comes to clothing. i don't want to see your junk and i don't want to see your undergarments. if the spandex fits the two above criteria (even if the bulge is very evident) i'm good. mind you, i'm probably not going to notice because i don't check out people at the gym :) i mind my own business.

this. a ketogenic diet is really only appropriate for people with severe epilepsy. your brain needs glucose and is inhibited when it doesn't get its preferred food source. (which is why it inhibits seizures).

my husband sabotages on occasion. he kept getting oreos, putting them right under my nose and asking if i wanted some. same with a few other irresistible foods. after more than a year, he's finally getting it. he's stopped getting a few of my trigger foods and if he gets any others, he hides it in a cupboard that i don't…

wow, that's a lot of fat. is there a medical reason for that? the only one here i know who is on a high protein/high fat diet is GaleHawkins. try messaging him or perhaps he'll pop in here and have a chat. good luck!

i'm pre-op sleeve and have had the psych go-ahead but will need further review before they book the surgeon appointment. i'm making some much better choices in accordance with their recommendations - i've lost 17 lbs in 10 weeks - and i think the sleeve will be a great tool in my arsenal. for those of you who have already…

and glandular tissue. people will have different proportions of fat to glandular tissue and this will affect how much you lose in terms of cup size. personally, i have TONS of glandular tissue so after losing roughly 60 lbs i have went from squeezing out of a 42N to comfortably fitting a 40M. needless to say, when i reach…

i don't have PCOS but my mom does. weight loss has reduced the severity of her symptoms but she still does facial hair waxing from time to time. i only have a tiny bit of hair on my chin, and normal ovaries (except for a big dermoid cyst, which is not pcos).

i'm a preop sleever. nice to meet you!

once a week. i have medical issues. my husband goes twice a day and i never thought i'd be envious of someone else's poop.

that would be thanks a lot. not thanks a log. though reading that i feel like i should smack myself in the head with a log. i'm just kidding :) i know full well i'm fat and i'm doing something about it. i'm good with it.

i have a higher bmi than 99% of women my age in the WORLD. thanks a log, darn bmi calculator! lol.. here i thought i was doing well. i suppose i am considering i used to be almost 60 lbs heavier!

yup, makes my eye twitch! i hold back though because i realize some people have learning disabilities (like my husband who is actually REALLY smart but can't spell worth a darn) or english as second language (and really, if you're newly english speaking and you keep seeing these errors, you end up learning them).

i was wondering about that. my potassium intake listed is extremely low, despite taking a prenatal vitamin daily. i don't eat bananas but potatoes are still on the menu. wasn't sure what to think of the chart.

yes, you can do it. it is expensive, monotonous, and extremely high in sodium. you'll gain water weight, but if you eat below your caloric needs you will lose weight. i did that for a while but i just couldn't keep it up for the rest of my life, which is why i considered myself "on a diet", because i wasn't "improving my…

oh i totally want that! i read about it months ago, and i've been looking for it EVERYWHERE, but i don't think it's available in canada. when i first read those reviews i was like - there's my answer, in a chewy sweet treat! sigh. PEG 3350 that i mentioned above is miralax. it's just recently that there has been concern…

this is awesome! i love hearing about crazy diets and having a good chuckle. i feel bad for anyone who actually put themselves through this. it's a terrible idea. but the soup actually sounds a bit like my oma's borsht, so i might make it.
