I have a fit bit. If you are lifting weights, swimming, or biking for exercise, it is worthless. Just saying.

This <3 There are nice people and not so nice people in the world. There are people who get a kick out of being mean to other people so that they can get a rise out of them. The one thing that I hate is when people post a question and then they refuse to accept the answer, arguing why that won't work for them. Then there…

Ugh! I am trying not to think about it. It needs to be cleaned and soon!!!!

You are my inspiration! I read that really long article on sugar and now don't ever want to touch the stuff. :) You did a great job and should be very proud of yourself. Congratulations.

Add 'Fiber' as one of you categories, just like 'Proteins' and 'Carbs'. Try to get 25 grams of fiber a day. Drink 10 glasses of water a day. This will make sure you go regularly, plus it will decrease your appetite. Fiber takes up space and tends to absorb fat in the digestive system.

Yep, it is petty. Enough said.

Parents who let their children run around like it is a free-for-all at restaurants. HELLOOOOO, you are not at home. Teach your kids to sit still or use the take out service.

Just remember that rotten children come from rotten parenting. They are a reflection of what they learn at home and the 'friends' their parents allow them to hang around with. I have two grown children, 26 and 31. Very well mannered and successful. It can be done, but the word is called 'diligent'. You must be on top of…

Everybody is different. Most people do lose quickly in the first few weeks and then slow down. This is not because of anything that you are doing. When a person is obese, it takes a lot of energy to move around. So most obese people could simply lose weight by increasing their exercise. You, my friend, not only increased…

Obviously, this guy doesn't love you. If he did, he would accept you as your are, good and bad. I wouldn't even call him a friend. Dump him and find someone who will love you for who you are.

I am a nurse and just did a report on Celiac. Yes, this is different than 95% of the population. Many people can have Celiac Disease, but go undiagnosed because they don't have the symptoms. From my report: Nearly one out of every 133 Americans suffer from Celiac disease May affect 3 million Americans For every recognized…

I would suggest reading Wheat Belly. Excellent book. I gave up gluten about ten weeks ago. I was taking motrin (joint pain), protonix (acid reflux), proventil and flovent (asthma), singulair (allergies), neurontin (nerve burning and neuralgial headaches), and synthroid (hypothyroidism). Now I only take the synthroid and…

Ask yourself one question: Who am I doing this for? I know that it hurts when people are mean like that, but realize that in order to be that mean, they have to be very insecure. I have learned to dump people like that. They carry negative energy into your positive field. Batten down the hatches, raise your shields, and…

<3 this (second posting)

I put this behavior up with eating junk food, processed food, or restaurant food for every meal. For example: Granola bar and coffee for breakfast; Applebees ribs with fries for lunch; McDonalds burger with fries for dinner. Now all the person's calories are all used up and they haven't even had a decent fruit or vegetable…

I haven't used a 2 pound weight in ages, but mine are blue. Nice idea to use as paperweights. Thanks for the chuckle.

If you want a really accurate read of how many calories you are burning, you need to get a heart rate monitor (HRM). I have the same problem because I use a treadmill at home and a LifeFitness treadmill at the gym and they both give me different readings. But the LifeFitness takes into account my weight and the my home one…

I was raised in a family where English was not the first language. Yes, I am from PA. My mother spoke French and German and my father Scottish Gaelic. I paid over $2,000 to soften that Scottish accent, but once in a while, especially when I am angry, it crops up.

I agree with the last comment. America is based on individual rights and the freedom to bear arms to protect ourselves. That is what makes us American. I once called the police and it took them 45 minutes to get to my house. So I bought a gun. If the police can't protect me, then I will protect myself. To me, it is taking…

You should have called the police back and insist that you wanted to file a report. It may not be too late. If they still would not comply, go over their heads. This man threatened to harm you, which is illegal in any state. In the meantime, get mace and carry it with you. I don't know how you feel about guns. I have one…

I had this and fixed it myself after someone explained why it was happening. The muscle that pulls your foot downward is stronger than the muscle that pulls it forward. During the night, your foot is pulled downward, shortening the muscle. Now, you must have torn your muscle, minutely most likely, at some point. So, when…

fat2fitradio.com Click on all calculators. Then click on the Military Body Fat calculator. It is accurate to + or - 2%.

I love Nickelback!!! You know, everyone has their own preferences when it comes to music. Nobody should put another down just because they like music that you don't like. Be respectful of each other. This world has enough hate in it. We don't need to add more.

If that is you in the picture, your basic metabolic rate (BMR) calories needs are probably around 1400. If you are nursing that baby, even higher! Why is this important? If you were in a coma, your BMR requires a certain amount of calories to keep you alive. Right now, at 900 calories, you are way below that. There is no…

I also have hypothyroid and want to say that it is not impossible to lose the weight. I used to weigh 294 pounds. I now weigh 175 pounds. Over 100 pounds lost. How? First thing you need to know is this - If your TSH is on the higher end and you are still having symptoms of hypothyroid, have your dose increased. You can be…

This <3 I read that book and was astounded. Went gluten free because I had signs of gluten intolerance. Am convinced now that I have Celiac disease. Was taking 8 medications and am now down to one medication - thyroid medication - which has been lowered twice now since I went gluten free. Noticed belly fat is going away…

No news feed! Cleaning house then. Got two loads laundry going and kitchen cleaned and it is only 8:37 AM. Also did an extra long workout. Back to cleaning now.

No gender has a monopoly on going psychotic, but most are provoked. Your now ex probably did have sex with her and now she feels rejected, so she is making his life he11. Both are a waste of oxygen since they 1) are not being honest with others and themselves; and 2) are not mature enough to handle the situation by just…

This is the best explanation. I burn roughly 900 calories a day. My BMR is calculated at 1352, meaning I need 1352 calories to maintain my body if I were in a comatose state. I need more to maintain my body with the exercise and other things that I do. I lift weights as well, so I need calories to repair the micro-tears in…
