I get this too. It's annoying, but I believe the suggestions work, if you remember to do them.

I agree with the OP. McDonalds every day - or any other fast food every day is not a healthy choice. Kids shouldn't be eating fast food on a weekly basis. Children really shouldn't be overweight and obese (unless they have a medical condition that causes weight gain ie hormone or other chemical imbalances and inherited…

Just eat what you like and want to eat. As long as you exercise weekly all is fine.

I agree that our bodies evolved to eat dairy and meat, as well as fruits, vegetables and nuts. Humans are hunter-gatherers. As we evolved we learnt how to domesticate our food and we learnt about horticulture. If we weren't meant to eat these things, they wouldn't taste yummy. (taste yummy to those types that like it) I…

Done! But want to know if I answered correctly lols!!

Like LilmissFoodie, I have done the long distance relationship and it can work. I meet my hubby online in a trivia chat room, he lived in the UK and I am in New Zealand. We chatted every day online. 9 months later he came here for a 2 week holiday and we knew we had something. Sending him back to England after those 2…

The tape measure is your friend. I swear you will see more results with the tape measure if you are regularly exercising than you do on the scales. Measure once a month and you will see the results!

I have had asthma all my life. I have taken Ventolin and Flixotide during both my pregnancies. And my children were not born with any defects. My friend is a doctor and she would have told me if there were any bad side effects to taking Asthma medication during pregnancy and she didn't.

Item I thought of: TV Outcome: smashed the TV open and found something sharp - took a while but managed to amputate my foot and I crawled out of the Himalayas

If I am not really hungry, I sometimes have cereal for dinner. I don't see anything wrong with it. Food is food, calories are calories.

I agree with all the posters - at 11 you should not be worried about counting calories. Teaching your child to eat healthy, portion control and moderation and plenty of exercise and sports is the best thing you can do as a parent. Teach them that food such as McDonalds should not be consumed every day and that it should be…

I agree, it really should depend on how much you have burned/exercised. I don't eat back all of my exercise calories either - but I don't burn heaps at the moment so don't need to give myself any more energy. But if I was burning a lot I would eat a healthy snack like an apple or something (or sometimes my mint slice…

That is real. But she talked about her body issues on a talk show a few weeks back, I think it was Ellen. I don't think she has an eating disorder, but I can't remember exactly what was said. But she did justify herself.

Hey everybody, My name is Angela, 36y/o - mother of two. My kids are 10 and 13 and I want to get fit and slim so I can keep up with them. I gained an incredible amount of weight due to being on back pain medicines, specifically Notriptyline due to being allergic to anti-inflamtories. Just using normal pain relief such as…

I can't do that. I have small fingers. I got slightly stunted due to Renal reflux as a kid. Have small hands and feet compared to my siblings, but have normal height. 5ft 6inches. But I have a small wrist when someone with normal sized hands does the finger thing.

I don't know your weight! But you look pretty good in your profile picture. So if I were you I wouldn't worry as much.

I agree that it should become automatic once we reach our end goal to know what sort of calories we are eating...espeically if we eat the same of similar food all the time. That is what I am hoping, anyways :D

I'm sorry, never ever heard of that before.

Nope it isn't. It is for websites and signatures that you can put HMTL code into.

My mother had a boyfriend with the last name - Hiscock

I am doing lower than the low impact versions of the exercises. I cannot star jump and I am not good at the jump rope. So I basically move one foot off the ground at a time - making sure to make my heart pump. I don't think it matters all to well if we don't do her routine precisely - as long as we are trying without…

My brain loves sleep more than exercise :D

I can't wear any heels, even when I was slim. I get sore toes. So used to wearing trainers now and slip on summer shoes that are flat.

I just googled for hummus recipes using tahini...and found these http://mideastfood.about.com/od/appetizerssnacks/r/hummusbitahini.htm http://greekfood.about.com/od/appetizerssalads/r/hummustahini.htm It's made me hungry now...I love pita with hummus. We have a product range of dips here in New Zealand called Lisa's and my…

Hey there, We have a kiwi support group on FB. Not sure you are an Aussie or a Kiwi - here is the linky; https://www.facebook.com/groups/255128684526821/ And feel free to add any of us as friends.

I agree with Getson. I don't believe in going without our favourite foods. Just allow your self to eat the bad stuff every now and again. And always log the food. For my situation, my kids go to their dads every fortnightly weekend, and that is when my husband and I - indulge a little...or a lot...let's just say, we don't…

I love Capsicum and Salami - with either chicken or some other meat.

Hehehehe - us kiwi's do like to confuse people when we answer with a no that means yes hehehe

I've had 2 c-sections and they were both along the abdominal surgery I had when I was 9 for Renal Reflux. So that is 3 abdominal surgery's in my life. I don't even think there is muscle left in there lol. But I am hoping this time around with my weight loss that I will lose my hangover pouch once and for all.

Also get your iron levels checked. I was quite run down, tired and had no energy. Blood test showed I was slightly anemic. So my doctor wrote me a prescription for Iron and since then I have not felt as tired and lifeless. I am going to ask for a repeat and take it as a preventative measure, as I know I do not get enough…
