FAAAAAAANTASTIC!

No, not equal, but... Rodents are used as models in medical testing is that their genetic, biological and behavior characteristics closely resemble those of humans, and many symptoms of human conditions can be replicated in mice and rats. "Rats and mice are mammals that share many processes with humans and are appropriate…

EXCERPTS FROM THE WALL ST. JOURNAL: http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20130606-904320.html WHAT PRINCETON U has to say:http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S26/91/22K07/

^this okay shutting up now...

Oh yeah, one more thing I didn't know when I was you age.... Don't go to extremes... Because if you drop a bunch of weight quickly odds are you'll gain it back plus more... Then you'll get more stressed about your weight and go to further extremes to lose even more only to gain it back plus another 10 lbs. and on and…

A bit long-winded... sorry. The good news is you don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better. I was just about to give up, but then I realized that my bad MFP days were still better than my PRE-MFP days. ++See where you can make small changes on things that aren't so important to you. (Don't even think of taking…

^this... (if you want to lose a couple of vanity pounds, absolutely, no lower than 150. PLEASE eat healthily! Stay strong and remember your body is a vehicle to get through life... no trade ins... You look awesome are in a healthy weight range, so don't jeopardize what you have for an arbitrary image. )

I'm with you here. The zig-zagging thing really worked for me while I was losing. Now I'm trying to come up with guidelines for maintaining that won't require daily logging... This is proving to be a challenge.

I won't save them for more than 3 days, myself

I'm kinda thinking HE won't want to wear skirts or dresses to work (probably not anywhere else either, but hey you never know... no judgments)

So far down the thread I'm sure nobody will get to this, but... Okay, let's review our macros: CARBS - FAT - PROTEINS Now, all food fall's into at least 1 of those 3 categories, many foods are a combination of at least 2 of these categories. You are going to have a really hard time if you severely restrict any one category…

Small sustainable changes. When inspirations strikes people revamp their whole lives. The only problem being is when stress comes along (and it always does), we revert to comfortable familiar behaviors. Change a couple of small things until they become habit. Once they are habit, it's automatic, and you don't have to think…

A bit long-winded... sorry. The good news is you don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better. ++See where you can make small changes on things that aren't so important to you. (Don't even think of taking chocolate out of my diet!!!) --Reducing quantities --Swapping out things instead of eliminating them. ++Focus…

If your body weight is dangerously low, don't worry about fat vs. muscle. Focus on eating Nutrient Dense Foods... and your body will figure out what to do with it. Also... it may take your body a little while to adjust to new eating habits, it may overcompensate at first. So try not to freak out, while your body is sorting…

For years I thought I hated cottage cheese, but I was wrong. Every time I tried Cottage Cheese it was "on a diet" and went for the fat-free stuff. So one day I looked at the nutritional info, and decided that even the 4% fat CC still had a really good nutrition to calorie ratio. I can go as low and 2% fat CC, but after…

A bit long-winded... sorry. The good news is you don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better. 1) track for a week or two before worrying about losing. (although seeing what I was eating I couldn't help but rein back a bit) be scrupulously honest... you can lie to your friends, you can lie in your diary, you can…

Basically beans... or peas... or peanuts... (technically, alfalfa, clover, peas, beans, lentils, lupins, mesquite, carob, soybeans, peanuts, tamarind... I have no idea what lupins are I"m gonna hafta google that.)

:blushing:

I'm glad you like it! It's my current goal... once I hit this consistently I'll make some tweaks.

That sounds like a good start to me! Good Luck Any time! It's nice to have a starting point, but remember to adjust it to what works for you.

Recently found out that most vitamins are fat soluble... So you should add a little fat to your veg so that you can access their nutrition. If you have cholesterol issues you may want to use Olive Oil, rather than butter, but if you don't go for it! YUM

one of the best things I did for myself was to focus on what i SHOULD eat, not what I shouldn't . You don't have to be perfect you just have to do better... whereever you are, pick 3 new things until they become habit then add one or two until they become habit and keep going with small sustainable changes. EVERYDAY: a…

It really does depend on who you are. When I was 22 the thought of being single at 50 seemed mortifying, but I wasn't ever willing to settle. So, here I am, over 50 and I realize I've built a business, I've bought a home. I've been through life-threatening illnesses. and terrorist attacks and economic depressions. and I've…

trust me, constipation is way worse than pooping :frown:

I just know that if I don't work out. I am in pain. I kind of feel like getting toned keeps everything in place where it should be. My gym membership accidentally lapsed (I get it thru work and can't re-up again until June) My back is has been getting angry with me. I've got to find something low-impact to do in the next…

@ 5'7" and 145 lbs you are well within the healthy weight range. It's okay if you want to lose a few vanity pounds, but at this stage of the game it's fine tuning or a couple of tweaks. Lose slowly I'd even think about going to Maintenance for your goal weight. The loss will be slow, but it will be sustainable... If it's…

Although on a recent visit down south I made my first visit to WAFFLEHOUSE. I wanted to pocket one of their mugs. I'm sure I can get one online somewhere, if I try hard.

False - unless you count my nieces & nephews TNP wears glasses

True - TNP laughed a beverage through their nose today. Ha, Someone beat me to the response & I had to edit my answer.
