Wow, I'm feeling pretty lame for a girl HAHA.

Chin ups, probably 3x8 Wide grip pull ups, 3x6 Lots of variables affect these #s. But I train for aesthetics and not strength so it doesn't really matter.

I like big plates for breakfast, lunch, and dinner ;(

Full time job Full time mother Full time wife Full time home keeper Full time physique competitor Full time foodie Full time want it You have to organize your life and fit this into it. If that means joining a 24 gym and going after the kids are asleep, do that, if it means waking up early, do that. My 24 hour gym just…

There is no definitive answer to your questions and if anyone tries to give you one they are pulling out of their butt. There is no standard. Our bodies are different our diets are different, our metabolism are different, and our activity levels are different. Unless you are personally using some sort of body fat…

wow this thread got out of control *L*

It also depends on how much lean mass you carry, how heavy you are already, what your activity level is. The 1200 calorie "rule" is an average. So while mostly everyone will lose weight eating 700 calories a day (But lunch time I've eaten more than that LOL ) not everyone will lose weight on 1200 calories. That is why MFPs…

Actually I didn't even think of this. But then that puts spin on things, is this an issue of him being too tall and a possible medical condition from that and is that extra height causing him to have more weight and falling under the "obese" category.

Being too tall is a new one. I probably would have laughed in her face and said that was the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard I know they comment on height in terms of growth (my daughter was a mild failure to thrive baby because of poor feeding and multiple food allergies so height was closely watched). We were…

If you got it flaunt it! *L*

"Thank you for your concern, we will discuss this with our child's pediatrician and make any adjustments if needed and have a note sent to the school with their findings. As of now we do not feel a home visit is necessary and would like information about opting out of any future weight screenings by the school as our…

Maybe instead of lawyering up immediately over nothing you could go to your child's pediatrician and ask them if the schools concerns are off base, then go to the school and put the doctors opinion on the record with them and opt of any further health screenings. They might say "OK, sign this" and leave you alone. People…

No way I try to stay on my diet during Holidays unless I'm in contest prep. I like take pleasure in good food, large quantities of it, and relaxing and enjoying myself. My life is consumed by what I eat, when I eat it, and how much of it down to the grams most days of the year. I need time off to enjoy it and also have a…

Maybe if we were better able to provide proper nutrition for our children instead of creating environment where kids are obese and developing type 2 diabetes at alarming rate and suffering from diseases and physical limitation that should only affect aging adults (like wearing of the joints in the knees) then maybe the big…

According to the CDC childhood obesity has tripled in the last 30 years. Type 2 diabetes has skyrocketed amongst children. So maybe if parents were more inclined to parent their children's nutrition and physical habits then this type of protocol wouldn't have to exist in school. Instead of addressing that basic underlying…

Well according to most of the people posting here, regardless if you think it was a true concern or not, you have no business sending a note home with that concern to a parent because its not your business what is going on in the home, less you get sued, physically assaulted or ignored.

Sue them for what? The school nurse sending a note home to a parent concerned about their childs BMI and asking if the parents would like a home visit for nutritional counseling for which they can freely accept or decline?

Labels are part of life. Political Correctness would dictate that no one should be labled, human nature contradicts that. But kids have been labeled and will continued to be labled by their parents, peers, authority figures, and themselves. As parents it behooves us to not ignore this basic fact of life or wish it away and…

I'm sure those extra 75 calories really that maybe in the ice cream traumatized these people and caused their weight problems. People sue for anything, I swear.

haha, I was eating the Vanilla Maple about 5 minutes ago with some PB2 chocolate peanut butter. Strawberry and Vanilla are best. the Rest of the flavors are nasty.

They have been doing these test on kids since before I was born. They are called health screenings, weight, height, posture, dental, vision, head lice, etc. And you used to take fitness test in PE. You can opt in or out. Did I miss something? Did the nurse sit the child down and tell her she was a fat slob or something?…

She is perfectly fine and adorable. Just make sure it is brought to the attention of her pediatrician just for a second opinion. Thank the school for their concern but no home visit is required unless her parents would like to get some nutritional advice for free. If they persist then you escalate it. Don't listen to all…

Okay but just to put things in perspective there is no way, except with a possible disorder, should a 5 year old be tall or muscular enough, or have the bone density to weigh 100lbs. You surely were obese, and looked it, and unfortunately no one intervene early enough and now your dealing with the effects of that. But…

Your butt is a big muscle, one of the largest in your body. If you truly want to build it up you need to get in a weight room and pull some weight and eat to support muscle growth. Deadlifts, squats, sumo, add/abductors, cable kick backs, kettlebell swings, all that, with weight. This is assuming your not carrying around a…

How tall were you?

Its a fine no frills place. I just have a huge problem with the free candy, bagels, and pizza(???). I think they are preying on people with food issues and put cravings in their faces. I got over the lunk alarm thing and the fake "No Judgment" proclamation when they obviously judge people. I think it's stupid and ignorant.

My daughter's school sent home a note with concern about a rash on her face, that I didn't think was that big of a deal and i would be able to manage it at home, and the Nurse even called me next day and TOLD me she should go to her doctor ASAP. Told me to make an appointment to get her to the doctor like the next day when…

You are 5'5 and once weighed 112 pounds?! And I'm assuming your a grown woman. I can't wrap my head around the desire to be that thin at all being 5'4 myself. Even sans muscle mass. I think the last time I saw 112 pounds was when I was middle school *L*

I don't eat raw or plant based and ate a bunch of crap the majority of my life and still do and I have no obesity fat problem. Not that simple.

I think your perceptions are warped.
