If you are within a healthy BMI range, their comments say more about them than they do about you. Some people don't know how to word a nice compliment like, "wow you have slimmed down" or as I asked a coworker several years ago, "Are we seeing less of you?" (after a brief exchange of details) "I bet it feels great! I…

shilohron, I sent you a private message with some options.

Pick one or two days where you get to eat out. Make it the same every week. If it's not, say, Friday, you are eating at home, period. The rest are "Suck it up cupcake" days. No matter what, you must eat at home or pack a lunch on those other days. While you are learning to cook, go easy on yourself. Cook two meals a week,…

Happy Easter!

Although I'm quite overweight, I'm pretty strong. I recently carried my 65 lb sleeping child two short blocks and into a parking garage while holding the other's hand. Whenever I pick up either of my children and carry them upstairs or into the house while they are asleep, I'm reminded that if I lost the weight I would not…

Except for Photography, me too! I'll add beekeeping and raising chickens.

I think you need to reread it. You assume that I did not read it. I plan to reduce my intake of saturated fat. Period. I did not say well heck! I can eat whatever I want as long it's not saturated fat! I did not say, throw away the exercise equipment because I'm cutting out saturated fat. You may have thought I wrote that…

I know that caloric intake/output is important and that a diet reduced in sat. fat won't work if the total calories are too high. Apparently poster assume I'm stupid or have reading comprehension issues. I_Thought_It_Was_Interesting. I'm_Going_To_Decrease_My_Saturated_Fat_Intake. Period. Since you are one to assume things…

I saw that too. I'm not male. I find it interesting that it can increase the risk of obesity with a high sat. fat diet but also reduce the risk of coronary disease in males. I'm trying to find a genetics counselor or a similar professional in my area to help me navigate the information in my report. It contains a lot of…

Lol! No thank you. I did get a few dings in those departments but not close to that. Are you doing anything different? Did you go to a specialist or changed your diet? Are you glad you know or not? There are some things I can't do anything about on my report, but watch my saturated fat intake? I can do that. I want to go…

Would you be so kind as to answer the question? I plan to lower my intake of saturated fats. I found it interesting. That_is_it. I was not asking for you to be flippant or rude. If the post applies to you great. If not, kindly take yourself to a place relevant to you. Here you probably did not understand or missed it. Here…

Would you be so kind as to answer the question presented please? - Have you had your genes mapped? Did you discover anything significant about your metabolism that may help you on your weight-loss journey?

Pulverized flax seed? I don't know how it would affect Crohn's but it's a high protein whole food. http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/nut-and-seed-products/3163/2

This is more than a physical problem. It's a mental problem. Your relationship with food and yourself is not healthy. I am not a mental health professional but I am a person who struggles with my relationship with food. Before the food passes your lips ask yourself these questions- Why am I eating this? Bad answers-…

If you are sure that it's muscle and not fluid retension there isn't much you can do. They make a limited selection of calf boots for plus sized women. plus size would normally mean women who are larger all over but these are boots so get in the right frame of mind and go take a look at plus sized clothing sites that also…

Doctor gave me a shot in the foot about 10 years ago and I have had few prblems since. I don't remember what is was. Cortizone maybe?

I sometimes have to look at my thumbs to know. I'd know my left or right thumb anywhere! Apparently I need a visual queue.

There are other benefits to cardio besides weight loss. And when the zombies come you only have to out run the slowest person with you. ;-P

In all things, the fact that someone with the resources hasn't bothered to study it, does not make it true or untrue. As a young adult, a 700 calorie diet made me super thin. As a middle aged person it does not. Why? I haven't a scientific clue. It just is. I've stopped trying to do it that way because it just doesn't work…

I quit drinking diet soda all of 2011. I gained about 8 lbs. I tried drinking water or plain ice tea. Sometimes I would order plain ice tea and would discover that they gave me sweetened ice tea. If I'm in a drive-thru, it's because I'm in a hurry and don't have time for that. Also, I really only like my own brewed ice tea…

How tall are you? What is your height's normal BMI range? Are you tracking your vitamins and minerals? Are you getting enough? You are exercising a lot so what is your body fat %? Before surgery, did the office do anything to address your emotional relationship with food? How you look at it? Did they address emotional…

I work a full time job, I am sometimes on call and I have two small childern. It was a tough adjustment getting married and having kids but I'm getting better at it. I am fortunate. My employer promotes healthly living. There is a gym with traininers at work, online live classes for people working remotely, and discounts…

Teach a PE class with them as well? I'll bet there are materials out there somewhere. I don't homeschool but I thought it was interesting the number of homeschool physical activities in my community. We have homeschool swim teams and family swim activities. When they are home I exercise once the kids are asleep. As they…

It probably is a mineral deficiency as others have said. People who exercise and sweat a lot need more. A word of caution though. Consuming too much of minerals like potassium is not safe. Do your research on the effects. There is a reason why it's hard to find high potassium supplements. Increase gradually until the…

I don't have any Zealots as friends. If I ask for advice I know I'll get it, though. Just knowing that friends can look and think to themselves "Girl you did not just eat that" without actually saying anything is enough for me.
