My youngest daughter wins every hula hoop competition she enters. If you watch her she barely moves, it is more a rocking hip motion and rhythm matters most. Circling your hips will cause you to drop it. Watching her is nuts, you can trow them at her and she will catch them and have multiple going at once. The weighted…

They normally need calibrated (zeroed out) when you get them. Directions should be in the manual, also you can't move them around...they need to stay on the same level hard surface. As for body fat% .....No it measures water in your body, this varies moment to moment. Plus you need your feet damp and everything to be the…

Boy am I going to regret this one but.........can you explain to me why you believe this? By being on the forums I would believe that our bodies go into "starvation mode" over every single thing. Thankfully I understand mathmatically this whole scenario as described on these forums is impossible. Instead of attacking and…

Some of these are a little creepy. The toothbrush one freaked me out, if I even saw my husband touching it...I think I would yell "don't you dare use that, what the hell are you thinking" poor guy would be hollered at while trying to be nice. Thankfully my hubby knows better. The laying in bed and just talk one had me…

Nothing gets into your blood supply instantly, but someone with low blood sugar should feel better within 15 minutes of digesting simple carbs. So macro wise, carbs are the quickest to hit you, if you feel immediately energized while eating....that is all in your head, but blood glucose is normally the answer for improved…

I forgot about this, no I think once it rolls as long as you stay away from part 2 it goes away. Please Roll

This is the important part ↑↑↑ If breakfast is important to an individual then it is important, but some trying to tell others it is what they need to do, and implying to not do it is unwise, unhealthy or wrong is just WRONG. It would be like me telling others "you must drink coffee in the morning or you will be a *kitten*…

Pray people stop posting :laugh: especially when they have only read the first post. Jeez now I caused it to pop up...... :huh:

This was such an awesome OP, and people not reading it or worse completely lacking comprehension and then not reading other comments is an eye opener. If you are going to take part in a forum (a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.) Please at least read the ideas....many…

This is like saying don't fill up your gas tank on the way home, the gas will just disappear over night. Personally I don't care when my body uses my energy (consumed or fat) as long as it burns it. I may be wrong, but I also think in many cultures the midday meal is the largest and people who eat an early dinner (before…

Believe it or not your weight does fluctuate, if you weighed yourself at night you most likely would weigh more. The jagged weight loss is normal. I weigh daily and at odd times to learn my range, it is normally about 4lbs over 48hours. When a new low will be hit, the day before my weight stays in the bottom of my current…

I only eat breakfast if I am going to the gym early. People saying its a must, it may be for them.....but my entire life I have never liked to eat early in the day, it normally makes me feel sick. Some people are just different, my oldest daughter prefers 2 meals and snacks, my youngest would eat 10 mini meals daily if she…

I loved this!!!! I also realized many do not read the post, only the title :drinker:

In all reality 1800-2000 for maintenance with a high activity level is probably a small deficient and not maintenance. Also 1000 calories are only .285 lb. Most likely the small deficient you most likely run already covered those calories, if not it is less than 1/3 lb. You probably fluctuate a few pounds per day just in…

I have heard the same as the person above, where you put on last, comes off first. This seems true for me as well, the last place I gained weight was arms and belly. These are the first places I am seeing major changes as well. It does vary by person and it probably varies by the amount of extra weight you carry.

Little things can help too....whole milk can make a big difference if he drinks milk. Otherwise high activity usually does increase appetite. My youngest daughter (11) is tiny 17th percentile. She actually eats a decent amount but she eats little bits all the time. She loves making smoothies and these can pack a lot of…

English Mastiff

↑↑↑This↑↑↑ and women with emerald green eyes....so beautiful, but pretty sure there is nothing I could do to sabotage that.....maybe chase them with colored contacts...hmmm:laugh: Also if these are the type of women around you, you really attract the wrong type.

My husband and kids...I know only one, but they all do in their way. My husband defends my logging if someone makes a snide remark, he will weigh things and look up info for me, he goes to the gym with me. He is very supportive as long as we do not discuss facts, he still believes many of the debunked things that others at…

↑↑↑ This and being your friend should be more than just hanging out and getting support from you. It sounds like she has her own insecurities and she is projecting them onto you. It may be hard but ignore her behavior the best you can and then either confront her or step back and look at the relationship you two have and…

Daily.....I like numbers and patterns so this has helped me understand my bodies fluctuations. If someone has an emotional reaction to increases in weight than this may not be ideal for them. I think it is interesting and can now guess where in my range I am after certain things like a great workout. I also normally know…

In common 2,3,5 & 8 1. I have 2 daughters 2. Some tattoos 3. A zoo of my own 1 Mastiff, 1 American Bulldog, 1 very rude Kitty and an African Grey Parrot 4. I am a computer Geek 5. Been with my husband almost half of my life. 6. I am not a list person 7. Coffee is a must for me 8. Nobody can ever tell my eye color (they are…

I have to ask.....WHERE DO ALL THE PEOPLE SEE MFP SAYING ITS A SUPPORT SITE? When I look there is a forum section called "motivation and support". When I look at the top of this thread it says " chit chat fun & games" . I looked everywhere, no where that I can find does MFP state that this is a support site/forum except…

Please, please can someone please answer.....What TOXINS ? I really want to know the name of these toxins that can prevent a person from using their stored energy supply.

In..... I swear "mean" people threads are addicting......OP please enlighten me on these jealous meanies you speak of. These threads have become so abundant, "meany" is almost a synonym for veteran. Everyone uses the forums, people will not like all answers they get, and many will hate the delivery...... Not the problem of…

That is an amazing loss! Huge congrats :flowerforyou:

I have heard before...people that always were on the heavier side, tend to identify as a heavier person and the opposite is true. I do believe this because part of the reason my weight got as high as it did was because I was always on the smaller side, as I gained I maintained proportions (got a belly last)....I never saw…

This.....plus the time your SO brought his/her hot friend over....I was so disappointed :angry:

The comment on laughing about how he treats the kids, was you laughed in the reply you made. So i should have worded it you laughed when describing the demeaning behavior he shows towards the kids. I am glad he knows he is wrong and you guys talked. You are the one who implied and stated he doesn't treat your kids…

Clift notes for all who have not read..... -Not a husband, BF of 1.5 years -3 kids from previous, 1 baby from him - the first 3 are not his daughters "real" siblings.(assuming because their not his...WTF) - his older child is a "real" sibling - he doesn't like her weight, boobs, or nether regions -she laughs about how he…
