elizabeth if i were not already married my proposal would be forthcoming. 58 cheers!

The plight of 20?

Is Plateo the same as Paleo or just a typo. Just curious. Easy to throw stones at anything so I will try not to go there. Personally I think that meal plan sounds delicious and just needs a bit more variety (and there is no reason to not have variety that is consistent with the strategy of reducing carbs). But adding cous…

fuggetaboutit. if you eat a bunch of non saturated fats, good. If you eat some saturated fats, also good. Fats are not the enemy. And if you don't meet your fats "goal" for the day, that is definitely not a problem. In short, the caloric intake is the key. It's great to have a balance of course, but being off one way or…

Go low(er) carb. Skip the drugs for sure. Forget about paying for someone to tell you how. YOU CAN do it yourself!

This is physiologically impossible to do, sorry, not buying it. But hopefully you will be able to reach your goals soon.

Who Dat! Have to get back to the game.

Sounds to me as if you already know what you are doing, your experience has been positive working toward a goal weight. Your body says back to you that based on your current activity level, if you eat x calories, this is how much you are going to weigh. My suggestion(s) are to up, if possible, your activity calorie…

searching ideal weight for your height and age gives you this: Based on the Robinson formula (1983), your ideal weight is 115.5 lbs Based on the Miller formula (1983), your ideal weight is 123.1 lbs Based on the Devine formula (1974), your ideal weight is 110.5 lbs Based on the Hamwi formula (1964), your ideal weight is…

Agree bad approach by trainer. And that your BF % based on your photo can not be an issue. Disagree only on the fact that some handhelds, over time, can be accurate if used in similar exacting conditions

Really depends on the root cause. Have been a tennis, squash, golf player most of my life. So, with that, comes the issues. From time to time, the strap has worked. Rest has worked. Glucosamine has worked. More recently Turmeric and Wobenzym N have worked. Try different things. None of it can hurt you, but the OTC…

Sort of interesting. Seems to me that there is too much deference regarded to message board opinions, but maybe that is just me.

Not exactly. Sloppy framing means unhappy sheetrockers, door installers............. and so on. Cheers!

Broad topic with tons of research. You could (and I have) spent weeks reading all of it. In short there is no magic pill. If there was big pharma would have already produced it and would be making billions. So, back to food choices and psoriatic reactions. There are certain foods that certain people..... You get the point.…

My view is that managing sodium intake, not limiting it, is the right approach. There are some studies (there are always studies) that indicate that males of a certain age and a certain pre-disposition to heart issues should limit sodium intake to <1500 mg. While I make an effort to reduce sodium (it is not difficult if…

Losing weight is a consequence of some change you have or will make. Losing weight (if you so choose) is not the goal. It is the prize. Balancing your intake and activity calories is not complicated over a period of time. Doing it over a short time horizon is generally nearly impossible. This is why so many…

Extra water helps. Many times we are not hungry but thirsty. Assuming you have your macros in line or you would not have lost 3 pounds a week over a period of two months. I do remember those early days (even months) when I was hungry "all the time". But that period did pass, as agonizing as it was a the time. Nuts and…

Yard sales, second hand shops often have little used dumbells, benches. Also Craigslist.com if yard sales don't turn up with what you are looking for. If you are looking to have a mini gym at home, start looking for other people's cast offs. And in the interim, take whatever you have around the house that is heavy, put it…

Hello Youngsters, Checking in to bring up the median age. My story is lost 50 pounds last year and have not been able to relocate them, still missing. Live in New Orleans where caloric temptation is a continuous challenge. But it can be done. Goals involve getting up every day breathing and some more advanced goals such as…

What do you need help with?

Why can't I just get to that motivation point. I'm just tired of feeling this way. [/quote] Perhaps you are just tired. If you are not sleeping well, try working on that if you can. And B vitamin supplements, either in food or pill form, seems to help with energy levels. Avoid if you can thinking about the weight and try…

Turn off or tune out TV and perhaps other media where you are negatively influenced to purchase some food item that you know is not going to contribute to your progress. We are bombarded with messaging on a continuous basis and since most of the effort is between our ears, it's a good place to start. This will also give…

Based on the Robinson formula (1983), your ideal weight is 138.0 lbs Based on the Miller formula (1983), your ideal weight is 141.1 lbs Based on the Devine formula (1974), your ideal weight is 140.9 lbs Based on the Hamwi formula (1964), your ideal weight is 139.1 lbs Based on the healthy BMI recommendation, your…

Not linear. As long as your moving average is moving in the direction you wish to go, you are good to go. If you want to lose pounds and over time you are dong so, enjoy. NSV's are also pretty good, your reference to inches and clothing.

Journey not a destination applies in this quest. Think more about how you would like to look and feel than how much you will like to weigh. 108 can look like 140 or the opposite can be true depending on the NSV's such as inches here and there. My spouse is 5"7 and 125 on average so if you would like a number seems that the…

never a lender or a borrower be is extremely difficult to navigate or accomplish. but loaning money to friends is an easy way to lose friends. I suggest as other posters have suggested to be very matter of fact or businesslike in demanding the money to be repaid. If it injures the friendship then they weren't your friends…

Last 500 years, half Welsh, half German (and it's origins). Before that, who knows.

Congratulations on your new personal direction. You have taken tons of stress (over time) off of your knees (and other body parts) and will enjoy the benefits of your first steps for a lifetime. More to come, great stuff.

At some point when you have achieved awesomeness, it is pretty difficult to keep raising the bar, particularly every day. Happy to continue to pursue excellence but can't commit to increasing awesome every day going forward and be disappointed about not accomplishing a pretty good standard. If I misunderstood your idea,…

Statisically you have an absolutely amazing chance of a full recovery due to your age alone. Keep us posted and best wishes.
