Yes

Thanks jennitm

Jess, In my case I chose World Instructor Training Schools. The reason being it is not just a piece of paper as most others are and as was mentioned. With WITS you actually attend a local college or university. You either go twice a week for 3 hours or once a week for 6 usually on a Saturday. I took the Saturday option.…

@Steffai911 - I too like to get away into no man's land and think that a break from technology is not only healthy but necessary. When I started I ran a streak over 400 days, but since then I intentionally take breaks whenever needed and do not feel bad about it. At this point I think I should be feeling fairly comfortable…

If it helps any, they recently had a medical research report on our national news channel (NBC) stating that people should only weigh in once a week at the most (tape measurements are actually a better tracker anyway). The best days to weigh in are usually Wed/Thur. That is because the body has had a chance to exercise…

I will add this information from prior research into this area.. Best All-Natural Bar: Larabar Choose a truly all-natural Larabar, which only includes about six ingredients per bar. Larabar’s simple list of ingredients ensures you know what you're eating. Their website even illustrates each bar's makeup with images instead…

In this life? After 65 years? Lets just say that is why I quit drinking in 1988, my time was almost up back then :)

How about "I am feeling to good to come in today!" :wink:

PS: You look way better then the 4 preceeding you. Get out and vote for Melissa people :)

Will do :)

@meshashesha20 Since you are so genetically blessed I am not sure why you bother with the effort required of even being on here? The artcle was just a suggestion on how woman can make healthier choices and was not iintended to say eating meat, etc., should be eliminated. The article was also telling people how to get…

Also received this tip from the same organization - NEWS Food In Smaller Pieces May Help Control Weight (7/11/2012) Cutting up food into smaller pieces may help people control their weight more easily because they are more satisfying to eat than one large piece with the same number of calories, according to a new study…

I just receved this tid bit of information from a professional organization I belong to - Junk Food Commercials Increase Food 'Wanting' (7/11/2012) Research to be presented at the Annual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior (SSIB), the foremost society for research into all aspects of eating and…

So far I have read through about half the comments (and will continue). I think the replies have been very good, honesty and somewhat varied with however many saying all the factors were true that where mentioned as possible problems. Personally I am beginning to think, as one person mentioned, that society has made the…

Great comments. One person sent me a message adding - the need for instant PLEASURE!!!

@LazyDaise - Coconut oil is one of the only plant-based sources of saturated fat (others include palm and palm kernel oils). There’s strong evidence that suggests the various fatty acids found in coconut oil, including lauric, palmitic and myristic acid (all medium-chained triglycerides), raise both LDL (bad) and HDL…

@cramernh If you actually read the article correctly you would have noticed it says - "Research has shown that some kinds of margarine, particularly the hard stick kinds, are worse for your heart than butter because they have lots of trans fat." It was not talking about butter having them!

Amen to that :smile:

Me too!!!

While some rather uninformed people reputed this article (I ignored their comments and they should be) further proof is offered by no less then the American Heart Association. Too many people today read studies and believe everything on the interent.…

Great comments. I gave it up back in 1988. You might want to check your food diary and make sure you are getting enough nutrients. If I do not eat enough calories I wake up around 1 or 2 in the morning and need to eat a bowl of cereal and then I am able to go back to sleep. Cottage cheese is a great source of slow…

Well said. I think we all know that even our nutrition is just an estimate of what we are actually eating. Not many people I know of actually measure out every item for every serving in the day. I bought chicken breasts the other day and out of curiosity measured them. While the package said they average 3 ounces they…

Some of this has already been covered but I thought I would add this info anyway. They are usually more accurate than a machines method but still not 100% correct (most have a 5 - 6% deviation). Why you may ask, because the most common formula encountered, with no indication of standard deviation, is: HRmax = 220 – age.…

No I don't mind you using it elsewhere. I like to see healthy information utlizied :happy:
