  • Neck pillows to sleep. Inflatables are more portable. Copies of all the passports in a bag not where the passports are kept Get up and move around a bit and stretch every few hours. If you are not familiar with economy class syndrome and risk associated with DVT's, look it up. The cabin is pressurized to 8000 ft and the…
  • Doing everything right with all that exercise. Look at your intake of sodium and potassium. Take supplements if your diet doesn't provide enough with that schedule. It's not about hydration it is about electrolyte balance. Gatorade is not going to get it done.

  • A poetic and song vituoso of our time wrote "someday this will all seem funny" That was Bruce Springsteen. While it is sometimes difficult to dismiss, you must. None of that matters, now or in the future. Especially in your immediate future. You are as you are, not as others wish you to be. And that is as good as you would…
  • What you are describing is "circuit training" if you keep moving along from set to set. If I have a 30 min weight workout, I record as 15 mins as MFP appears to over-estimate calories burned. Seems to work out for me for a few years.
  • Caffiene containing beverages are not water they are direuretics. Who has time to log water? Just remember to drink it. It is good for you but not worth logging really. If you can't remember how many cups/litres you had in a day does it matter? It is all zero calories.
  • Lift heavy things. If you are on a budget, don't buy anything. Find things to lift. Plenty of opportunities. Work on strength in place training such as pull ups (find a bar), squats, planks and other equally challenging ways to strength train.

  • Good to hear the story has a happy new beginning. MD after the name unfortunately frequently stands for More Drugs (as a solution to nearly everything). You can reduce your blood pressure significantly by dropping body weight and adjusting your dietary intake. It is difficult to say that you will as everyone has different…
  • Kind of scary knowing how little control I have over my HDL and LDL within my body. Since you seem educated in this, mind giving me some dietary tips too get it lower without medication? [/quote] You have control over your diet and your exercise and body mass levels. You do not have control over your genetics. Focus on the…
  • My fellow yogurt lovers, Chobani daily for a few years. Then they built the Costco here and they carry FAGE, so that's the new brand for us. And when GMO's popped up in a portion of Chobani ingredients processing, that was also a consideration. The recipe is simple, let me add what I want, just give me the no fat high…
  • I use the circuit training calorie entry and cut the amount in half. So if I lift for 30 mins, I enter 15 mins. Seems to work out ok and as others have said, I am certain I am not over-estimating the calorie burn.
  • In quite simple terms, congratulations on the first steps in your journey. That will go away as your conditioning improves. The usual- no pain no gain. Stay with it, the best move you have made this year.
  • Cant remember the order but 60 years 6 feet tall lost 50 lbs in one year gained back 10 no big deal that not trying to do anything different still maintaining the logging and enjoying it. Good luck to all.
  • A teaspoon on my yogurt and fruit breakfast daily. Fiber, Omega 3 and satiation qualities. About 2 years or so now. Works for me. Will probably work for you too. Give them a try. You have white and black and many are grown organically and locally.
  • [/quote] Yes, these are items I am cooking myself...I don't tend to use dressings to season, however, I get on the scale and I weigh exactly the same every single time. Many people have weight variations of a few pounds in a single day. It is nearly impossible to balance to an exact weight being the same every time you…
  • Am thinking like 100 for the upper end but that would depend on the pre-nup.
  • It is a website, mostly for self accountability. A place to keep track of your food and exercise life if you want to. There is no my mfp ego, standing, grading or other accountability other than to self. If you want to contribute to others lives, please do. If you are looking for information, please query and it will…
  • Natural chicken has only minimal amounts of sodium. A plain 3-ounce roasted chicken breast provides just 65 milligrams of sodium – less than 3 percent of the maximum amount of sodium you can have in a day. I would suggest examining your log entry selections or changing your food supplier. The chicken isn't high in sodium,…
  • When trying to eliminate sodium from your diet, scan the ingredient list before eating or drinking anything. Any ingredient with “sodium” or “Na” -- the chemical name for sodium -- in its name contains the substance. Sodium might also be labeled as baking soda, baking powder, monosodium glutamate (MSG), disodium phosphate…
  • When we used to have to chase after or otherwise gather our food, everything worked out. More recently, we don't have to do that and many of us are out of shape and overweight. Like or don't like exercise as you define it. But if you don't move and balance your intake and outgo, you will have more body fat that you need…
  • Lost 50. Maintained at 40 less. You are very young, do it while you can easily. Do the work. It will happen and soon. Think in terms of a 6-12 month time frame for the whole show.
  • Way to go girl super results. Now for your next act, stop drinking the diet drinks. Not doing you any favors really. Drink water. Flavor it if you like. But that chemically altered stuff is just not good for us. Stay well and good luck for your next 100 loss. You have passed the hardest threshold and are going to reach the…
  • Tall girls way to go. I am older and your height range and 170 pounds. I know you can do it. I love the term glamazons, new word for me. Good luck and stay with it. You can do it.
  • Lose the boyfriend as soon as possible. Put yourself first. Easy to say of course but if you can put it in practice, many of your issues disappear.
  • eat fish. salmon, cod, or anything else you might like and have available easily.
  • First off congratulations on the recovery you have accomplished so far and for the courage it requires, and sharing your story with us. Have had a similar experience. Recall being weak but just working at recovery, a little bit more each day in the process. Whatever exercise you can do, do it. It is a wonderful privilege,…
  • Who dat say you gonna keep dat weight? Sorry for the grammar folks, but a guy wearing a Saints jersey will understand. Go Saints! PS Time of some new Saints attire. Great problem to have. Way to go awesome job finish strong.
  • http://www.webmd.com/diet/ss/slideshow-salt-shockers Check out the above link. Lowering sodium intake is simple but it does involve changing your intake. In some cases, sodium intake is overstated, that is, the relevance of it to health depends on the physiological attributes of each person. However, if you would like to…
