put it into your calendar like going to work or going shopping. Then you know it happens every day. I loooove to exercise now and I used to be a couch potato. lol

I think it is individual and it is up to the individual to see how many calories they burn. Nothing is 100% accurate except testing your rmr at the doctors office but even so not all doctors have that equipment. I like to mind my own business as far as that is concerned. If people want to cheat on the calorie burns to get…

you will get hooked. I am finally hooked on exercise and it took me 41 years to do so lol. I cannot live without it now and even joined an expensive gym. It connects me to my body :)

I try to get all I need from my food. I don't take any supplements unless my blood says i need it and even then, I try to do it with real food.

It took me many years to realize that not everything was about me and sometime people are just having a bad day. I prefer not to internalize others judgements and try to see it as not about me at all. Who cares what a stranger thinks anyway and I am foolish to think I will change anyones mind just by a quick lash of the…

Along these lines I would also point out a positive about gaining weight easily. It forces us to think about our health, sort of a warning. The thin people that eat junk and don't exercise are also in a high risk catagory but if you can't see a manifestation on the outside you really have no idea if what you are doing is…

I have met some wonderful people through this site. Even flew to England. I don't, however, want to meet many from the public forums. I would rather set my rendezvous up with people I have grown to care about. We come from all over the world after all.

fresh juice from a juicer moves things along right away.

learn to like them. Your body will crave them after a while.

cats don't need to drink milk and certainly not milk from cows.

been gluten free for almost 3 years now. I will never go back. Gluten is poison to me.

backs and collar bones are my favorite parts on women. All of you look amazing!!

We all have our stories. I cut my mother out of my life because she was just so judgemental and would take no responsibility for any of it. Kids don't come into this world broken and the only reason children get screwed up is if communication within the home is a mess. Kids that are messed up or are acting out in unhealthy…

get your blood checked as see what you are lacking, then change your diet based on the findings. I am not a believer in eating processed vitamins unless you can't get what you need through your food.

I am a romantic at heart so I have to add my story to the mix. My Danish hubby and I met on craigslist. I wanted a date for New Years 2002 right after September 11th. When he responded and asked me out, I decided I didn't want to go out after all since I had too much work to do. When we finally got around to having our…

I remember them going in completely happy and trusting and the needle goes in and the lip ohhh the lip, totally heartbreaking.

this isn't about me but I went to the gym the other day (I live in Denmark) and when I walked in about 10 older men were watching Beverly Hills 90210 lol. Now that was funny.

I just found out you can steam them too and the steamed eggs will peel much easier. I read to steam them for only 10 minutes and 5 minutes for soft boiled. I haven't tried it, just read it. But now we will definitely have to rename them to hard steamed or baked eggs if you are not boiling them at all. My grandmother (RIP)…

Plain and simple, I only eat animals that I am willing to kill myself. As I could or would never kill a cow, that is off my plate. We all have our reasons for eating what we do. I made that decision when I was 10 years old so there is absolutely no going back, that was 30 years ago. I don't care if people eat meat or not.…

I never thought of baking them what a great idea!! I will have to try that tonight. I always put the eggs into boiling water for 10 minutes and then they are done. Baking soda sounds like a good idea too. Who would have thought I could have learned more about a simple thing like a hard boiled egg. Although if you bake it,…

I would eat sushi all day long but it is more of a budget thing than a denial thing.

I think the hardest part is getting the head to go along with the body. I know for me that it doesn't really matter how many people coment on how fantastic I look, when I can't see it myself. Sounds like you are starting to see it. I hope I can be there and see it someday too. You are inspiring.

I used to have a goal weight but now I don't see a point in it. I want to look at myself in the mirror and feel good in my clothes. That is my goal now. The scale is not a very accurate measure in my opinion and my emotions are far too tied up with it. There is no magic number, just feeling good is the most important.

Avocado, nuts, peanut butter. I never have a problem eating lol. I eat a lot of fruit. I think natural sugar is much better for you.

What a perfect test for a relationship. You will go through a million things along the way if he is the one you will be spending the rest of your life with. It is great he is seeing you through this process. All you can do is be patient and go with the flow. Being physically attracted to your partner goes waaaaay deeper…

Realized taking care of my body is forever so I made a commitment to my health FOREVER changed my eating habits as to what I crave Communication with my MFP friends so as to not comfort myself with food

word!!! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

It makes no difference when you eat. I know many people that never have breakfast here including me.

Yep one size doesn't fit all!! For short people it is different. As long as it isn't an eating disorder please live and let live!!

We all make our choices and are the only ones that have to live with them. I prefer to eat healthy food in order to feel good within my body, to have good skin, nails and hair, and not have to take supplements in order to get what I am missing out of my diet. I proudly eat all the nutrition I need.
