When did I say I live in a developing country??? And I never said I have dirty water........quote I'm talking clean creek water here like nature intended!![

http://ausglobetrotter.com/2013/10/Tasmania.html My home......you people can be so so rude!! I'm not skinny because of parasites or bacteria! nor am I a bad mum because my kids drink from the creek! I don't live were there's 'town water' yup animals drink from our creek!! No one around here filters water caught off roofs…

Don't worry I know what your saying.....this is MFP and it's a place that no matter what you say people will try and put you down! They search the boards to find something to jump on!! Congratulations on your weight loss you are awesome! When I was a big girl my nan used to say "don't worry your just big boned" to try and…

And isn't that the truth!!! Firm believer in apple cider vinegar daily, homemade yogurt and all our veggies are home grown geez my kids pull carrots and brush them off then eat them....remaining dirt and all lol they all sit in the veggie patch and eat to there hearts content not a wash in site! We do have a refrigerator…

If that was true the human race would have died out thousands of years ago!! I know it sounds rank but fact is our bodies are equipped to build immunity to bacteria like that! I'm talking clean creek water here like nature intended!!

You mean they have clean water over there?? Here I was thinking the water was filthy with human waste, rubbish due to unsanitary living conditions if I knew it was only the odd cow poop and kangaroo poo I'd never give them money!

I'm the same numbers are my own personal thing!! Yes yes I've talked with usmcmp and I can understand why you would want her knowledge!!

As I said it's just a number form is the important part!! I know people that wouldn't lift because they didn't want to look like douches because of a number!! If you got form then you will come out on top....who cares about the numbers!! LIFTING IS AWESOME!!!

We drink creek water.....no filter, no testing! Our water is tannin stained so it's a brown color, the cows poo in it lol, animals drink from it and yup we drink it!......we also have very strong tummies and excellent immune systems.....ours kids have only had gastro once in there lives (as young kids when we were living…

@singingflutelady guess you missed my post when I told those girls to come compete here then??

Bahahaha I feel you pain I'm doing the same!! I've competed in 4 figure comps and been training seriously for over 7 years not once have I even been close to those weights!! The number on the plate makes no difference if you aren't using perfect form.....so y'all let them lift those weights but if you concentrate on form…

Yes I hate it when I run out! I thinks it's one of natures little gems :wink:

Thank you.....buts it's not current :( it's what I'm working back too!!! Not far to go though :smile:

Yeah ok......but would you be able to use it via headphones at the gym?

I'd have to count my reps then and I'd rather something else did that or I'll lose focus

I'm very very strict about form!!! Having a timer takes away the thinking about anything other than the actual lift itself and the muscles being used!

@sarahlifts You look awesome!!! Your stats are about the same as mine and your lifts are about the same!!! Some very very strong girls on here actually some are so strong they should be competing in powerlifting comps!!! Cause they are reping weights heavier than the lifts that took out the powerlifting titles here where I…

Are you hitting your protein goals each day? If yes then you don't need protein powder....if your not hitting your goals and you would like an easy way of getting more then just get on eBay and find yourself a whey protein isolate or concentrate (much cheaper than brand name protein) add it to a smoothie, or add some Greek…

Does it? I'm sure you will tell us.....

As for the weight loss fad I didn't actually know it had claims it could help you lose weight lol I had heard the alkalizing myth but we all know that's impossible!

My grandparents used it for years in cooking, for medicinal purposes and we have always used it on the farm, for the chooks as a mild antibacterial when molting, the goats for rumin troubles and Chrystalization in urinary track, the horses drink it also. Nan used it for water retention (as I do) pop used it for…

I love ACV I use it to preserve beetroot and as a salad dressing I also drink 2tbls daily with water (the alkaline/acidity thing is not true though) I use it as its a mild diuretic and helps keep my water retention under control without medication

I was tested at the beginning, and end. I was fairly lean to begin with compared to lots that go into shows. My macros ratios stayed constant during the whole cut, my first show they varied a bit due to finding what worked best for me (this show I got too lean and lost too much muscle during the cut) consequent shows they…

I only just seen this, thank you for compassion.

Funnily enough it's our eldest girl....the most level head of all our children that has issues with high sugar she gets a high then a bad mood low!! I can even tell when she has brought lollies at the canteen during school without being told! Our middle son who has big struggles with anxiety and confidence shows no…

I have ADD (inattentive) diet has little to no effect on ADHD/ADD I have never mentioned it does

Science changes, studies change, opinions change thank god we have people that challenge it all! For some it's takes them live through it or to watch someone you love go through it before you question what you have believed before! Take the blinkers off, science has been disproven many many times before and will continue…

I have 5 children all react differently.....how many kids do you have? And do you notice any change in them?

No I'm trying to open the discussion more into the food addiction side of things and the foods consumed by the truly addicted person! Which is why I put it as food/sugar addiction the addiction is real but as you say why don't people consume spoons of sugar?.....that's why I opened is it the things added with these sugars?…

You want knowledge??? I can tell you of many times I went to school hungry with no lunch! I can tell you many times when mum got paid and we came home to cupboards full of junk food only to be gone the next morning....I can also tell you about visiting my mum in hospital but not being able to understand why she was there?…
