I think that maybe the fitbit tracks all of them, but I'm not sure. What I have is a Polar FT4, the kind with the watch and chest strap, and I use it to track my calories burned during exercise. I LOVE it!

Yep, I have ghosts and they are dead.

Then why bother reading and responding to them? Be nice. We all know we have to eat right and exercise. People just need to learn HOW to do it.

What has worked for me is to eat oatmeal in some form for breakfast, with fruit..a sandwich for lunch with whole wheat bread, mustard or mayo with lean turkey or chicken, tons of romaine lettuce and 1 or 1 1/2 cups of raw veggies. Dinner is 4ounces (cooked weight) lean, grilled meat with brown & wild rice and another cup…

A 2004 Ford F250 Super-duty, a 2012 Ford Explorer and a couple of 4 wheelers, a mower and a tractor. Yep, I'm in farm country. My dream car would be a 1972 Black Camaro! That or a new one!

The only thing that helps me is to avoid triggers. Stress Smoke Perfume Citrus juice Bright light Noise Lack of sleep Too much sleep Tylenol, yep, too much tylenol can cause rebound headaches/migraines. Extreme changes in weather. Can't avoid it but I can be aware and try to avoid other triggers then. What helps me: Dark,…

We have a local gym that serves free pizza on Tuesdays. It keeps the customers coming back and keeps them ALIVE...to work it off, to eat more, to work it off, yummmm. Now I want pizza..too bad MY gym doesn't have it. :(

You look amazing! I'm so proud of you!

I don't have 'free days'. I have days where I have a treat, but no full blown pig out binge. Free days kept me fat.

With my short legs, 4.5 is running!

Well the Splenda, Stevia and Sugar club will like yet another bash on aspartame. Loss of sales will make people type anything. Hey do ya have any snake oil? JK Cheers!! ....with my generic diet koolaid! :drinker:

Yep, what they said! And, hey, if you can't walk well, could you go to your local Y and get in the pool? They also have a lot of water aerobic and water exercise classes. It's a LOT easier on your joints and muscles. You can even wear or hold onto floats to support your weight in the pool. Good luck and way to go on doing…

Coffee, home brewed green tea with blueberries and honey, generic diet koolaid from walmart (cherry is awesome) and no I dont fear sweeteners, and I make homemade water with fruit. I'll put a few berries in a bottle, crush them and add water, leave it in the frig overnight. If I eat at a restaurant, I always drink water.…

You're a smart man. LOL

Usually it's because they "DIET" and deprive themselves of food. Then, when they are stressed, physically or mentally, they eat, and eat and eat. Then, because they feel like a failure, they eat some more. Who wants to be on a diet? No one. Learn how to eat correctly and you won't feel deprived, hungry or the need to…

The University of Illinois may have some. I know they do research. Also the Illinois dept of agriculture lab. Good luck!

I'll maintain it.

Usually it's hunters who find bodies..and the bodies are usually joggers. :P

I used to eat it plain. After cutting back on sodium, I can't stand to eat it anymore. It tastes like someone dumped a salt shaker on it. Yumm, salt cheese! blechhhhhhh:sick:

Most clothing catalogs have you measure your waist at the smallest area between your breasts and belly button. Where 'mom jeans' used to go. lol Your hips are to be measured at the biggest part of your butt cheeks. I measure in several different spots just so I know I'm making progress, even if the scale doesn't show a…

Yes, and I think you should make me a sammich out of it. Now.

Omg that sounds amazing. TY

I certainly do plan on eating them... I have 6 POUNDS of them and needed ideas or recipes. Thank you for your input. :)

Almonds sold to the public are supposed to be pasteurized, either by steam or have chemicals used on them. Eating fewer chemicals is one reason why I bought them. I just don't want to get sick from eating them either.

Congratulations! More will come! :drinker:

Thank you all so much! I'm sure I won't have a problem using them now. :)

Thank you!

I thought that they have to be pasteurized. These are truly raw, not steamed or anything yet. They are 'bootleg' almonds, not sold to the public.

I plan on that, but I don't think I could eat 6lbs of plain almonds. :sick:

That sounds amazing! Thank you
