Yeah you are wobbling because your speed is too high to walk. I wobble at high speeds because I can't keep up and I'm finding ways to compensate. You could set it to that speed (4-4.5) and start a slow jog intead of lowering your speed. I also walk with me feet going out a bit but I find when I run my gate straightens and…

"Besides, I'm almost 19 now and I grew 2 inch due to lots of stretching exercises every evening, proper nutrition, and quality sleep in the last 9 months. So my advice to you is to set a goal and work hard for it and most important don't cheat cz you're only cheating yourself. Good luck :)" No, you did not grow from…

1200 a day for a male at 5'9? 1200 is the lowest amount of calories a female. I think you should definitely start lifting but also eat more. You need to properly fuel your body and workouts.

Has happened to me my whole life. Doctor was never concerned. Blood pressure can drop from dehydration, so just make sure you are keeping yourself hyrdated. Other than that stand up more slowly.

This would happen to me and would always make me give up. This last time I just decided to ignore it and push through. I'm glad I did because eventually the water weight left. I had a nice whoosh.

What? Bones and teeth can survive a very long time. You can actually tell a great deal from bones and teeth, like diet, age, sex, disease, work likely performed, etc.

How are you tracking? Weighing your food? Picking the correct enteries? Also, you should eat back some exercise calories if you are only eating 1200 calories. You should net 1200 total a day. If you are indeed maintaining then you are not accurately logging your food.

Why are you taking what Lustig says as the end all be all? There are studies out there that come to different conclusions. He doesn't even list any references in his article that are meaningful and support his claims. You say you want references, yet don't need them from the guy you are defending.

Lustig advertises his book at the beginning of the article. It's a link to amazon so you can buy it. Also, he's an endocrinologist. He probably has less training in nutrition than someone with an advanced degree in nutrition. My friend is a doctor and has less knowledge than me about bones because, unless you specialize in…

Int J Food Sci Nutr. 2007 Sep;58(6):445-60. Sugar intake, soft drink consumption and body weight among British children: further analysis of National Diet and Nutrition Survey data with adjustment for under-reporting and physical activity. Gibson S1, Neate D. This study concluded that it wasn't sugar intake and soft drink…

He has one reference and it's a paper he co-wrote. That's a red flag right there. If you're going to make a claim damning sugar you better back it up with more than one reference.

It's a weight-bearing exercise so you build up bone but not muscle.

People in Spain and Portugal don't eat dinner until 9pm or 10 pm and, well, they are a lot thinner and healthier than people in the US.

When you get yours change the unit to grams and put a nickel on it. It should read 5 grams. If it doesn't then it is not working…

It's also Ozeri but has 4,000 reviews and 4.5 stars. I went through two scales in like 6 months because they weren't accurate or quit working. I test my scale's…

You put the container on the scale, tare it, and then put the food in to get the weight of the food.

I get annoyed when I safely pass a cyclist that is moving at a slow pace only to have to stop at a stop sign and have the cyclist ignore the stop sign and go by me. I then have to wait to pass them safely again. You want to be a vehicle on the road then you have to follow the rules of the road. That means stopping at stop…

Are you weighing your food when you count calories? Even tracking oils and condiments you use while cooking? Are you eating back your exercise calories?

Why not just use myfitnesspal and track your calories? That way you don't need to worry about points or converting or anything.

This is gross for some, but go by the color of your pee. You want it to be pale straw yellow. If it's darker drink some water. Clear then you're plenty hydrated and don't need more. Usually gets darker after a meal I find.

I think you look great in it! I think the bottoms fit great and don't do that squeezing thing that mine do, but sit right on your hips.

True you cannot gain any muscle while trying to lose weight, but you can become stronger. So that will help with your issues of being weak. Dietary supplements and protein are usually taken when you can't get them in your normal diet. I say try and get them from food and then supplement if need be. Getting enough protein…

Actually several doctors have told me you want your pee to be pale yellow and not gin clear. I wasn't aware potassium helps, that's good to know.

Yeah have them throw in some protein to the frapp when they mix it up. Or go for a smoothie with protein if you are just looking for something creamy like a frap. Some people do a mocha frap with a banana and protein. Or you can add the frap roast to a chocolate banana smoothie.

I've seen a lot of human bones and I can honestly say that very few actually have "big bones" that they would notice. If you are over 5'7 and your wrist size is over 6.5" when measured, then you have larger bones than people typical of that height, but it's not going to add as much weight as you think. Maybe a couple of…

You may need a more realistic goal. You really shouldn't lose more than 2 lbs. a week.

It gets easier. I used to feel like counting calories made me hungrier than when I wasn't but I found a groove. I found a good amount of foods that I love that fit well into my diet. I also sometimes pre enter my food the night before and eat that the next day. That way I'm not thinking about it I just grab what I planned…

Well track your calories and eat a defecit and you'll fit in your dress for sure or eat at maintinence so you don't gain that ounce. Because you want to lose 50lbs. I say eat the deficit and get started today on losing the weight because 2 lbs. or so in two weeks won't matter for the dress. Start with the two week wedding…

I accidentally bought the smaller size bridesmaid dress. I decided that I needed to lose some weight anyways, so I might as well challenge myself to fit into it and get healthier.
