Hello fellow whovian!

113 for your height is pretty small... You might try increasing calories and doing some strength training so you gain muscle, you might find that 140-150 pounds with toned muscles looks a lot better than 140-150 pounds with poor muscle tone.

I've gained more than that from one day of bad eating, in my case its because of sodium, it makes me retain up to 10 lbs of water, and it does take two or three days of healthy eating before my body even begins to release that water, about a week before its all gone.

Sometimes I make what my kids refer to as "tomato balloons". Basically you cut the top off a tomato, hollow it out, mix the insides with the tuna, some cottage cheese, and a variety of finely chopped, or even grated vegetables, then you fill up the tomato with the mixture and enjoy. You'll have extra mixture, which is good…

I just watched a show this morning on netflix called "My 600 pound life" or something like that. It followed someone who was over 600 pounds (she was 6 hundred seventy-something pounds...) who had weight loss surgery to lose the weight. From what I could see on the show, it was NOT easy, not at all. The surgery and…

I assume you meant customer service? That varies a lot depending on who you have as a coach. What exactly are you looking for in customer service though? Its an online site, you order and it gets shipped to you, did it take too long? As for similar videos online, I haven't found any that are as good. I do like some of the…

This thread is not at all helpful in terms of helping NOT crave stuff I shouldn't have...

One thing that sometimes works is eating more for 3-4 days, healthy food only, but between 2500-3000 calories... then return to your current calorie level, it will sometimes jump start the metabolism, and get you losing again.

I think the OP calling them "Healthier" is due to the fact that they are more natural and have more nutritional value, not necessarily lower calories. They are made with whole grains, brown rice syrup is a low glycemic index natural sweetener, honey is natural... though still very high GI with only enough vitamins to…

I log every day, my "streak" doesn't show it though, because for some reason it reset awhile back.

There are probably a few reasons, some have received bad information that tells them that they will bulk up and get huge if they lift heavy weights. Some are unaware of their own strength. Some may be aware of the benefits, but not really care about them, and be happy to just be thin, not worried much about if they are…

Yes a pound is a pound, however if you take one cubic inch of muscle and one cubic inch of fat, the muscle will weigh more, I'm sure that is what this person meant. Technically the correct way to say it is of course that muscle is more dense than fat... but why split hairs? Oh yeah, because this is the internet.

Fat takes up MORE space than muscles, but that doesn't necessarily mean that every part of your body is going to shrink if you're building muscle, you may have added muscle without losing fat to that particular part of your body, or you may have have very little muscle there before, and now be building it up, while losing…

I wouldn't marry this guy. I would still try to be healthy, maybe even lose a little more weight, but not for him. There are people out there who will love you for you, for who you are inside, and those people will encourage you and build you up, which in the long run makes it EASIER to take care of yourself. You don't…

I don't know if I would classify it as an eating disorder, or just a form of OCD that focuses in of fitness and food rather than alphabetizing your spice cabinet. There is no doubt that some people let fitness and health concerns so consume their lives that they neglect other areas, and to me this is not healthy, no matter…

As I said above, I aim for 0.8-1 per pound of Lean Body Mass, NOT my current bodyweight, and I lift weights. I am also 5 feet 7 inches, with quite a bit of muscle mass (albeit, still covered by bodyfat in many places). I was just pointing out to him, that most people don't get as much as he's suggesting, especially not at…

If you are entering a recipe that has cups, you can always measure a cup, put it on a gram scale, and use the grams from then on. Or you can search the calories per cup elsewhere (lots of sites on the web), and add the food to the database using the cup measurement.

I have wondered the same thing. I don't try to get 1 gram of protein per pound of my current bodyweight though, I aim for 0.8-1 gram per pound of LBM... so around 100-124 grams per day, and I find it hard to do eating much more than 1200! Of course, it might be different if you are netting 1200, you could feasibly burn 500…

No, but mine is pretty thick, and black, and I always wear a regular weight T-shirt over it.

I'd also like to note, this is not the result a broken device, it is something wrong with the Webpage... the display watch will still show the correct numbers.

I have the core armband and display. What I have noticed is that the Activity Manager and display don't match, not since last week. The display is still showing me what I assume to be the correct numbers. If I walk for 30 minutes the display shows around 30 minutes of moderate activity. The activity manager will show some…

I limit my creamer to 1 TBSP per mug of coffee. My mug holds about 1.5 cups, so two mugs is about 3 cups of coffee, and just 2 TBSP of creamer. I used to use coffeemate sugar free vanilla creamer, but I decided I didn't want all of the hydrogenated oils and artificial chemicals, so I switched to a Darigold French Vanilla…

Depending on which chart you look at, I'm still between 75 and 90 pounds overweight. I recently started the C25K program. I am taking it slow, repeating weeks of the program when I feel like I'm not yet ready to progress, and using the treadmill to avoid potholes, ice, mud, and other hazards. I haven't injured myself…

I just read the rest of the responses. People don't need to be so harsh, but many of them ARE right about one thing: 600 calories is not enough to stay healthy, and if you keep eating so little you will damage your metabolism and eventually you WILL gain weight whenever you eat a tiny bit more. Not only that, you will be…

I don't consider anything a cheat meal. Some choices are wiser than others. About the only thing I would consider "cheating" is if I didn't log it, and messed up my calorie averages for the entire day.

There aren't any real requirements physically. I wouldn't have a problem with an overweight trainer if the trainer was in progress of improving their fitness. For example, if I took the personal trainer exam and passed today, I would still be overweight, but that wouldn't mean that i know nothing about losing weight, I've…

Because I used to eat more calories than I burned. :wink: Seriously though, I am pretty sure most of it was just because I like food. Yes, occasionally I would eat from stress or boredom, but many times I just eat because the food tastes good. Our bodies were designed to store energy in the form of fat so that if a famine…

I've been rewatching all of the Star Trek series... I started with Next Generation, then moved to DS9, then to Voyager, now I'm watching Enterprise, and I might follow it up by rewatching TOS. All of this while I wait for them to get more Doctor Who and Continuum.

First thing I'd find out is where she got her certification from. Some states allow anyone to call themselves a Personal Trainer, even if they haven't even taken a single class for it... but there ARE some good certification agencies out there such as NASM and ACE. Second, realize that even if she was certified from…
