  • use this site for BMR and TDEE, use total # of hours of exercise, not how hard you think you're doing the exercise: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ eat more than your BMR, preferably TDEE-15% (no more) for weight loss. Your exercise is already calculated into these numbers, so don't eat your calories back.…
  • outside of the eggs, no, eat real food.
  • to make it simpler, substitute won ton wraps for the dough!
  • forget about the number on the scale (nobody sees it except you). get a tape measure and do checks every 2 weeks, also take pictures, these are much better methods for gauging fat loss!
  • The popping and cracking are most likely due to chrondromalicia (softening and raggedy cartilage) and/or Osteoarthritis. Low impact exercises are best Try Leslie Sansone Walk away the pounds DVDs at Walmart and Target for about $10. Each DVD is 1-5 miles, 4 basic easy moves, 4-5 mph, set to music you do inside. Nice easy…
  • Oh yeah, time to make chilli and a fabulous pork, sweet potato, and apple stew! nom, nom, nom!
  • They're not hidden, they're out there in plain site. Water is better for you (unless your a professional athlete). If I drink a fruit or veg drink it better have alcohol in it to make it worthwhile!
  • "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink" Just because you have decided to change something in your life, does not mean he will. He is an individual with his own likes and dislikes, needs, and wants. Yes it is to much to ask him to change, if he doesn't want to. It's immature. If this is a deal breaker…
  • yep, I knew this back in the '70's when I was sewing clothes. The design pattern sizes had changed measurements/sizes from the '60's. And of course the sizes vary wildly from maker/designer. But then too, we walked or rode our bikes everywhere, the library, the ymca, church, downtown, school, ect. Only took the car or taxi…
  • for fiber without cramping, add chia seeds (about a tbls to start up to 2 tbls) to any liquid or food...it will also make you feel fuller.
  • no more than 15%, and make sure to take a diet break every 6-8 weeks (eating at TDEE for a week) to prevent plateaus. For every 5 pound loss recalculate TDEE and BMR. Make sure you take pictures and measurements, if the scale doesn't move there are other changes! Good luck to you!
  • Diary's not open so I'll have to guess-maybe you're restricting yourself to much. use this site to figure out your BMR and TDEE: http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ select the amount of hours per week you work out (not how hard). always eat above your BMR, shoot for TDEE-400 cals for steady weight loss.…
  • stock up now and put 'em in the freezer:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
  • hmmm, so you have a child together and he (your SO) has been diagnosed with kidney disease. Google dialysis and show him what he's moving towards. Then how about having him make out a will and discuss life insurance with him? Sometimes guys just need a big sledgehammer to get with the program! edit to say: if you do the…
  • many years ago I was on the Beverly Hills Diet, and lost 12 pounds the first week....NEVER again! I like myself far to much to do any crazy diets ever again. Even tho I have a "weight ticker", I go by body fat loss, much more accurate since weight loss can also include water and bone loss! Also no longer care about the…
  • Not sure if you think you're anemic or that you've been tested and know you're anemic. There is 2 different types only one has to do with iron the other is a B vitamin. Feeling tired/lethargic can be related to other things as well: not enough quality sleep, a VLCD, expending to much energy for the amount of calories taken…

  • The nutritional guidelines found on packaged meats are calculated when the products are in their raw state. The USDA also calculates it's information by the raw state (uncooked).
  • I walk my dog for about 20-30 minutes~that makes me warm enough, but my weights aren't that heavy...yet

  • PLEASE go to a real doctor. No one can diagnose you without an examination and tests, anything you see here is an UNeducated guess!
  • probably from sweat, try using baby powder on the healthy skin and wash that area 3-4 times a day with a mild soap, pat dry, apply powder.
  • Maintenance is eating at TDEE. Diet break is eating at TDEE for a short time (usually a week or so) every 4-6 weeks while eating at a deficit to lose weight (also known as cycling). Bulking is eating above TDEE (usually 200-300 calories/day) to gain muscle (you also gain fat).
  • I too work at a hospital and refuse to have the flu vaccine. It's always made me very sick in the past, and it doesn't cover every type of flu virus. Sounds like a HR complaint to me...
  • How about both you and hubby go to college, take out Sallie Mae loans (that will need to be paid back after graduation), they give you enough to pay for tuition, books and to live on. You will be able to catch up on your other bills, get an education that will allow for better well paying jobs, and become financially…
