I agree with JD. The correct answer is 42.

The last flu shot I got was for the swine flu in 1976. Most reports now say that only one person died from the swine flu. However the same can't be said for the flu shot. I will not get a flu shot. I would find a doctor to give you a note. For my, maybe it would be a psych because forcing me to get the shot would cause a…

Special K Protein Plus. Quaker High Fiber or Weight Control Instant Oatmeal.

I didn't start exercising till I lost 30 lbs. Then I felt like I had the energy to exercise.

Forget the gym. You have a 2 full time jobs; the one you get paid for and raising your kid. Maybe a 3rd job taking care of your husband. You'll get enough exercise doing those things without adding the stress of trying to find more time in the day than there is. Try to eat healthy, don't smoke, etc.

Eat a good breakfast. Lots of protein and don't be afraid of fat. Cut way back on carbs, but increase substantially your fiber intake. Shoot for 30 grams daily at first and try to get it up over 40 grams eventually. For instance, oatmeal, eggs, bacon, ham, etc. will carry you from breakfast to lunch without feeling like…

If it was someone like family, I would say "thanks" and move on. Anyone else I wouldn't respond to. Some people aren't trying to be malicious, but most are implying something.

Also, I drink…

If I can't have the real deal I don't want substitutes. I have real bacon once a week with my eggs for breakfast. Fat isn't the enemy.

Yikes!

Just checked their online menu and nutrition info. They have a "Lighthouse" menu and also have a caculator that lets you create a meal and see what the nutritional values are.

Get a steak but ask for it without butter and sauce all over it. Half a baked potato and a green salad and you'll be good to go.

I beleive the activity levels of sedentary, lightly active, active, etc. only have to do with your general daily activities like whether you are a desk jockey, a famer, a mail carrier etc. Then when you do exercise you just add that activity to calculate the additional calories burned in addition to your normal daily life.…

In an effort to lose weight and lower my blood sugar I have gone on a lower carb diet. I have lost 35 lbs in 3 months and feel great. I have basically cut out bread, pasta, deserts, etc. and increased my fiber and protein. Honestly, the way I feel now compared to when I was eating a very high carb diet, I have no desire to…
