That has to be tough. Are you in a position to do water activities to take the strain off?

I think I fit the bill. sdevan45. Does 67 count?

At the pace you reported, it would not be unusual to burn about 5 calories a minute. That gets you to 600 calories for two hours. I think your formula is overestimating your burn. Even at 4 calories a minute, you're still at 480 calories for the two hour walk.

Trader Joe's sprouted wheat and rye. 60 calories per slice, almost no carbs and very tasty.

Successful dieting doesn't mean you make yourself miserable. It means you moderate and adjust your caloric intake by eating reasonable portions of healthy food. Wine has both good and bad aspects (many "healthy foods" do to). If you can fit a glass of wine into an otherwise healthy diet and maintain your caloric intake…

In my view, its the difference between climate and weather. Day to day fluctuations are the norm, but the longer term average is probably what counts. I look at my averages for the week.

Sprouted wheat and rye breads. Low in calories, carbs and tasty. It's the Trader Joes brand. I live on this stuff.

My unmedicated a1c is 5.6. Average BS is 90 2 hrs after eating. I'm on low statin dose and bp med for its kidney protection. Don't really need metformin, knock wood. My HDL/LDL ratios are actually reversed from the normal. HDL is typically over 90, approaching 100 so my total cholo numbers are, to say the least,…

It kind of pisses me off that the prohibition against mj in this country was the result of the liquor industry worrying that it would cut into sales. You really gotta wonder which drug is worse for you.

And now, you're a woman of steel. Congratulations. You look great.

The HRM is more accurate for counting burns for a wider variety of exercises than the FitBit. However, the FitBit is much easier to keep on at all times. It's major limitation is that in only really measures walking, running and stair climbing. I'd start with the FitBit since you can keep it on all the time and it updates…

That bike is trying to tell you in one example that you burned 12.5 calories a minute. Ain't no way. You can work your tail off measured with an HRM and show about 7-8 calories a minute. You need to find another way to estimate your burn, I think.

Peanut butter was invented by Zeus and as such transcends definitions such as good or bad. It is divine. But as with all foods descended from the Gods, it must be treated with respect for its great powers and consumed in moderation.

The FDA is recommending strongly against quinine based solutions for leg cramps. There can be serious side effects up to and including death. According to the FDA, 1 in 25 people have some sort of reaction.

No, they don't count as processed foods. Processed foods are altered. Frozen foods of the sort you're eating are not. As a matter of fact, your frozen veggies probably contain more nutrients than fresh vegetables that have sitting in a market for a couple of days.

Anything except for badly cooked collard greens. The well-cooked ones cannot be in the house either.

Doesn't anyone on this forum know that dark chocolate contains the one molecule in the universe that does not obey the laws of physics and is made up of anti-calories. Jeesh!!

I friended a guy who is over 700 days.

You're averaging 2 pounds a week, which is within the recommended pace of about 1-2 pounds a week.

Since beans have so much fiber, the carb count is misleading. Insoluble fiber is are not digested at all and can be subtracted from the carb count. Soluble fiber counts a little but not very much. So, if you're showing that you portion is about 40g total carbs, and 15g is fiber, your carb count is really a little higher…

Couldn't agree with you more.

Make you husband eat lots of veggies. Then blame him. If your veggies are a new eating behavior, over time your issue should subside. I eat lots of veggies and beans too and have my days. I just give my wife fair warning on bad days, but for the most part, it's slowed down as my tummy has gotten used to my diet.

2 tbs olive oil 1 tbs white wine vinegar 1 tsp (or more to taste) dijon mustard a little minced garlic salt pepper Make sure to stir olive oil in last slowly with whisk to emulsify. You can add fresh herbs to alter taste.

Check out the research on lowfat chocolate milk after a workout. It is surprisingly good for you.

Fitbit basically is a pedometer. It's calorie burn measures are estimates using a few variables (height, weight, sex, steps). HRM's add your heart rate to the measurement estimate and are probably more accurate. Higher end HRMs also estimate V02 max reasonnably well. They can also be used for more than walking as the basic…
