The legal age to babysit is 12 years old where I live and I started babysitting when I was 12, including newborns. I don't have kids/plan on having kids but if I did I would never leave them with a 12 year old - what were those parents thinking? lol. I think at least 14 with CPR training is a minimum - if it's a infant I…

Oh and in terms of the body fat - that's all calories in and out :smile: - Calculate your TDEE http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ - Then figure out your calorie deficit, i.e. the amount of calories you'll eat each day. To do this take 15-20% off your TDEE and that will give you the amount of calories you should eat each day…

It's awesome that your boyfriend is so supportive but if your boyfriend's suggestions make you defensive it's probably going to be more motivating if he stops suggesting stuff and if you take this into your own hands. The kinds of exercises you can do are endless so you need to figure out what would be enjoyable for you. I…

Hmm the free bagels are tempting but I don't think I can give up my deadlifts.

I am currently doing stronglifts 5x5 and I'm at the gym Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings before work. Workout A (squats, bench, row takes me about 45 minutes), Workout B (squats, press, deadlift) takes me about 30 minutes. Then I add in additional arm exercises like curls, extensions, and kickbacks and some ab…

It can feel overwhelming in the beginning but with the right information it can be very simple :smile: Here are my Coles notes: 1. Figure out what your daily calorie intake should be to lose the fat. - Calculate your TDEE http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ - Then figure out your calorie deficit, i.e. the amount of calories…

Actually when I was a kid my mum used to roast them with brown sugar - that was yum!

I've never much liked carrots - they're just a tool to get hummus in my mouth.

You need to eat a calorie deficit to lose weight so if you're not losing you're not eating a deficit. You might not have calculated your calorie goal correctly, underestimating your food calories, overestimating your exercise calories or all of the above. -Calculate your TDEE http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ -Eat a 15-20%…

How about a science-based diet? Wheat belly is just a repackaged Atkins diet. I can't wait for this fad to end.

Whoa zombie thread came back from the dead. I suggest people start new threads rather comment one ones from 2.5 years ago. That being said, I hold to my original comments on this thread, I would not recommend Topamax to anyone who doesn't experience seizures and even then I would recommend find alternatives. I was on…

do you weigh your food?

46 & I also delete people regularly. I like to be able to interaction with all my friends without having to scroll 10 pages and spend hours "liking" and commenting.

Do you weight yourself everyday? you're going to get fluctuations in the scale due to water, food, poop, etc. I would suggest limiting your weigh-ins to once a week, first thing in the morning. BUT you said you're not logging so it could also be that you are not tracking properly in your head, which is highly likely. I…

That was my first thought lol.

As much as I'm an advocate for a vegan diet (for ethical reasons), losing weight is all about a calorie deficit. Calculate your TDEE and eat a 15-20% deficit. Weigh your food so you can log it accurately. Eat lots of protein (plant sources: lentils, beans, chickpeas, greens, tofu, etc). Take measurements of your body and…

Definitely weigh. Make sure you have a proper deficit, calculate your TDEE and eat a 15-20% deficit

Once they're soft to the touch they're ready. If they're overripe I blend them w/ almond milk & spices to make a pasta sauce and it's good for a couple days in the fridge.

Abs & back as a couple makes total sense. I have been so focused on strengthening my crappy back, I didn't even think about how strengthening my abs can help. I'm going to start adding some ab workouts. Thanks!

FTLOG when will this myth go away? "There's nothing magical about water from a glass of water as opposed to water from a food or any other beverage," Barr said. Drinking caffeinated beverages such as tea and coffee do not lead to dehydration, said Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, a nephrologist at the University of Pennsylvania who…
