I would quit if I had to wear Spanx, because those things suck the air out of me. Tried one for a special occasion long time ago and it was a waste of money. I couldn't wear it and I couldn't breath, and I was not overweight or fat. It is still hanging in the closet. I don't know about body shamming but I would like to…

No it doesn't. MFP wants you to keep up with your math skills; you need to subtract fiber from your total carbs to get net carbs ones. Easy!

Neither are mine :'( I am ok with static lounges and keeping the position for a short period of time like in Yoga warrior poses or while doing some biceps curls with weights, but walking lounges? Not so much!

@Allie1618 You are welcome. My advice was based on my recent experience. If your sinus bothers you (I do suffer from sinusitis due to a deviated septum) or if you have a running nose or feel plugged, use saline solution to rinse your nostrils. I like NeilMed or SimpleSaline. You can get them at your local pharmacy…

Thank you! <3

@Allie1618 Don't take any allergy med within 5 to 7 days of your doctor's visit. If the doctor plans to test you for any allergies (usually needles-pricks) at your first visit, the use and build-up of the anti-allergies meds may cover up the reason for your problems. If in doubt of what the doctor will do at your next…

@whoami67 Nice, but do you know what can I use to replace all the pumpkin stuff? I don't eat anything with cinnamon or pumpkin spice, so those items are out of the question. Tks!

My mind is always in the right place, but I need my body (muscle, tendons, ligaments, bones) to exercise, and some time they are nowhere to be found. Happy that your uncle is doing so well, and I hope that he continues that way and that OA doesn't take over. I know that there are a lot of people like him; I was one of them…

We do something like that in one of my chair yoga classes (no weights). With the chair near by to hold on just in case we need to keep the balance (we are all very old people). I can't remember how the teacher calls the position. The lady in the video has the correct leg position and extension, and in line with her back. I…

All of my desserts are: 1) Plain Fage with fruit 2) Cottage cheese with fruit 3) Equal mix of no sugar added ice cream and plain Fage 4) Equal blend of Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt (any flavor) with plain Fage 5) Homemade apple sauce topped with either ice cream or plain Fage 6) Homemade cranberry and orange sauce…

Me too, but it also gives me bad GI problems like raw onions, so I don't eat either of them. I hate anything with cinnamon, even the smell. But me thinks that I may have an intolerance as well because the few times that I tried something with that awful spice (unintentionally), my tongue started itching. I don't like…

Great idea, and give the driver some candies as a tip :D

The candies are not banging on your door. The zombies are! Run...!!!!!

Put ear plugs or listen to music, just like you do at the gym. Just because it talks to you doesn't mean that you have to answer.

I agree with the comments posted already. You need to talk with your doctor and be tested again, but request a complete thyroid panel not only TSH. You may need to change your dose or also get T3 and T4. I take both. If you can go to an endocrinologist, good for you. Some medical insurances don't allow the referral to an…

I was prescribed magnesium by my neurologist to help with the migraines HA. The best one is chelated magnesium according to the doctor, due to the high absorbance and the bio-availability; I got the morningpep brand. I take 200mg at night and I also take calcium at night. I also have PVCs and the magnesium helps to relax…

But you do get back to life very nicely... :D

Nice, and thank you for posting. I probably make my own "version," too, just as you did adding or subtracting (I can't eat garlic) items.

Stirfry, saute, or roast a large amount of vegetables of your choice, and use them in omelets, soups, rice or pasta dishes or stews (add beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, sausages, etc. for added protein). You can use the hand-held blender to pure the vegetables when making soup.

Thanks, I never heard of that name before or about unilateral work. I use dumbbells to do farmers walks, I want to work both sides :)

Is that another name for farmer's walk?

Now I want a massage to de-clamp my fat... :p

I also have diverticulitis and my last bout was few years back (not fun and very painful). With the exception of nuts, popcorn and seeds (not a big problem for me), I don't have any other limitation. Red meat doesn't bother me at all and I eat all kind of meats, fruits and vegetables. I prefer cooked vegetables thou, with…

Because you have self control!

@janejellyroll already responded to your comment and with a lot of common sense. I will not make an additional comment because I know that I would start a very heated discussion that could derail the original posting.

I agree, and I always ask people if they never buy toilet tissue or cleaning products? In my recent remodeled supermarket, the wine, alcohol and beers are now located on the left side of one of the entrances and very close to the vegetables and fruit stands. There is a lot of traffic in that area, that is for sure!

I turn the cards around and it becomes me against the world. Edited to add: I am control freak.

Exactly!

MapmyWalk is good for tracking miles not calories. Try this site: https://www.calculatorpro.com/calculator/calories-burned-walking-calculator/

I would like somebody to define "premature death" in actual age/years. Is is dying in the 30s, or 50s, or maybe 70s? And the causation for dying (besides no breathing and the heart no pumping...). I didn't read that clarification in the article, so if I missed it please point me in the right direction.
