I'd like to see the statistics that show that conservatives pay into taxes more than other Americans. Pretty sure everyone who works pays in their fair share.

A lot of the arguments (not to debate politics) stem from the conservative end of the country. With the American freedom of making as much money as you can, they (at least those I've spoken to- maybe not all of conservatives) believe that creating a universal healthcare will rob skilled workers from an income they really…

That is what I want for the US. (:

Just reread it and understand the question now. Lol, whoops. This is a link delving into the budget crisis with healthcare in the us. Kind of scary. https://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2017-07-14/health-care-will-bankrupt-the-nation-we-need-reform-now And I know that my ideal look at a healthcare system is flawed, and…

To an extent nutrional education is mandatory. One semester class in highschool is what our government thinks is needed. In that class they cover just the tip top of all the basics. From sex, stages of life, obesity, and CPR training. Nothing in depth. If the healthcare system doesn't change, I think that would be a very…

I don't think it should cost more for anyone. Whether they're overweight, a smoker, or (though it's not an issue since the ACA) have a pre-existing condition. I think in order to help overweight people deal with the issues, there should be added nutrion classes/health class that further teach people the proper way to eat.…

I just put a pinch of salt over some sliced avocado, or a little bit of soy sauce. Otherwise I mash it up, add chopped onion and your favorite salsa, lime juice, pinch of salt- have it as a guac topping on a salad or something. Maybe with chips. Just have to make sure you're eating them when they're ripe. If they're super…

Anyone feel free to add me! 250+lbs, trying to get to 150-160ish lbs.

We have health classes and phys ed in America, but it isn't seen as an important class. It's one of those 'bird' courses that don't delve very deep into importance. You go to health class, get out, go to the cafeteria and they're serving pizza and fries for lunch. America is a bit F**ked in this department.

No, but I think more of our tax money should be spent on educating kids, and people in general on nutrition. I don't think many people are taught extensively how food/nutrition works. If the parents don't understand, how can they teach their children?

Hot Cheetos, and Guacamole. Guacamole isn't exactly bad for you, but a whole lotta' calories.. :( Keep them away from me because I can not stop myself. Lol

Feel free to add me! I'm always in the mood for extra people in my support team! We can motivate each other!

50lbs by Christmas? Count me in!!! I need some sort of deadline to keep the motivation!

Wow. People aren't really researching the entire thing Lol. (It's mainly for the extreme calorie restriction, not the 1600-1800+ per day intake.) Calorie counting is okay for a little while. It helps you see just how much food you're eating, and you're able to adjust your habits accordingly. But it can have a huge impact…

I'm around 70-80ish pounds boat. Feel free to add me!

Give it time. Many doctors I've spoken to say that you will always reach a plateau when it comes to losing weight. Everyone does. For weeks on end you don't lose at all- but after a bit your body adjusts, and you start losing more and more. They've said a lot of people reach this point and give up because they feel like…

You can add me! Although with this bug in the site, I can't comment or post on anyone's update ): Still trying to get it working.

Please add me! I just got back into it, too! Same problem haha

My name is Cally, I'm 26, live in NC, and getting back on track as well! Not on fitbit, though. Only here. I'm working on losing 80lbs, with my motivation being strengthening my knee, and running a marathon. Feel free to add me!! Would love to be apart of your support team!

I'm don't think we should police their diets, but if they don't know how to live right, we are paying even more taxes on medicaid they receive. I wish they would have something like free nutrition seminars, and free gym passes to go with (Along with EBT benefits). This way people are educated on how to keep themselves and…

Uhh, I am surprised, from what I saw, no one said Boondock Saints. That is my favorite by far!

bump. Just what I needed! Awesome Thread!

Add me! Lets motivate Each other!

I've always wanted to Visit Frank, AB. Ever since the Album 'Hometowns' by The Rural Alberta Advantage. I'm From Dallas, Tx. Now reside in North Carolina.

I'm in! Come on 20lbs.

I started out at 249lbs, and now im 221lbs. It's a slow process. Not something you can rush through. It's kind of disgusting that you would consider getting surgery/ cheating on your weightloss because you haven't seen a change in a month. Lets say you get the surgery, after you lose the weight, you're going to have a ton…

I will eat up to about 1600. I eat back some of my calories, but not all. My limit is supposed to be about 1400, but I think if I eat 1200 or below, I dont feel as great and I lose too quickly. When you lose too quickly, you gain everything back too quickly. It's working for me. I have already lost 17 pounds in the past…

bump, I love this thread.
