Yes, its just a phase. I think children do best with no extremes. Tossing it all might worsen the behavior, and ignoring it could be harmful long term. He is young, and currently at a healthy weight, so you have wiggle room to sit back and observe before deciding. Just don't tax his honesty. If he sneaks it, ask why? And…

I should have been more clear, I was saying that whomever said "good for you......" is wrong

You are wrong, eating to that extent is a problem, and something is desperately wrong. Seeking professional help should be the next step.

Have you considered changing your goal weight to a goal body fat %? I used to have a goal weight in mind, and was driven by the scale and nothing else. Then I discovered weight training, and switched my goal to a body fat % of 18, and whatever number the scale says at that goal, I'm good with. Right now I am at 20% and…

I'm a neat freak, clutter makes me feel really anxious and stressed out. I have two small children, so I feel like I am always cleaning, but really its not bad. I don't like to have anything out, like junk sitting on counters, mail or magazine stacks, laundry not folded and put away. All the kids stuff has a place it…

my after dinner snack of choice is usually greek(the regular stuff doesn't do it for me) yogurt or steamed edamame. Sometimes popcorn if I'm just wanting something salty/crunchy.

I measure the popped amount because its more accurate. Say you popped 1/4 cup, but only half of those kernels actually popped. All the old maids go in the trash, so they don't add to your calorie count.

First off, bananas are disgusting. I'd rather starve than eat one, so I'm with you on that. I've tried EVERYTHING to get rid of my canker sores, as I am prone to them, and have been my whole life. The vitamins, creams, gels, mouth wash, not eatting my beloved grapefruit, all to no avail. Last year I finally found something…

1/4 cup of DRY quiona is 172 calories. As it cooks, it expands, and reaches a volume of about 1 cup. ITS STILL 172 calories, because the caloric value is based on the original starting weight of approx 46 grams, which is unrelated to its volume. So one cup of DRY quinoa is 688( 172X4) calories, but would give you nearly 4…

I'm looking forward to watching it with my hubby. I love all the glitz and glam, the women look gorgeous, and it's all things girly. No complaints from us.

Look at my diary. I do my best to stay under 1500 mg a day. I too had Pre-E with my pregnancies that never went away. I felt silly having high BP at 22 years old. 5 years later I am off all meds, but have to keep my sodium low and exercise regularly to maintain that. I hated having to take meds, they made me tired all the…

Height : 5'4 SW on MFP: I think 130? or 132? CW:128 GW: I don't have one, I have body fat goal of 18%, I'm at 20% right now Age: 26 Calories: Base of 1700, plus a percentage of exercise calories In high school I was 113 lbs at the max and wore a size 6, now I'm 15 lbs more than that and my high school pants are so big I…

lol " Generalizations are stupid" is a generalization.

I'm 5'4 127 lbs and I wear a 2 or 4 depending on the brand. On top I wear a small or xsmall. I weigh almost 15 lbs more than I did in high school, but went from a size 6 to my current size(s) when I started eating more and lifting weights. The scale is just a portion of the fitness picture!

I agree with most that posting on facebook isn't the way to go. And would stear clear of all the "facts" about the health benefits of being a vegan/vegetarian, because really, you can eat healthy, and unhealthy with any diet. Also, it might just make you sound nutty. My best friend is a vegetarian and her hubby is a vegan.…

Height: 5'4 Weight : 127 Age: 26 Daily Calorie Goal : 1700 w/ no exercise, I eat back a % of exercise cals. Weight loss per week : nill. I'm working on getting my body fat from 20% to 18% Starting Weight: 130 I think? Exercise of choice: a mix of running, cardio classes, weight training, TRX, R.I.P.P.E.D and walking or…

You don't need to increase cals if you are trying to lose weight, but you do need to drink at least 64 oz of water a day!

From one 26 year old single mom of two(one of whom is a special needs child) nursing student to another, CONGRATS! Getting divorced was the BEST thing I have ever done. Celebrate, find a new routine and only good things will follow. annnd, find a man that DESERVES to be in your children's lives. They are the gifts here,…

Spanking and time out are for lazy parents who don't want to deal with the issue and resolve it. No child deserves to be hit! Think about it, we teach them that they can't hit other people, or you, grown ups aren't allowed to hit each other, but yet we can hit a small defenseless child? Its disgusting and pathetic. Time…

I'm fond of " you look great for having two kids" which always sounds like, " you look as good as you could with a wrecked body". It feels like I'm disqualified from just looking good....

Congrats on your weight loss and upcoming wedding! I'm getting married in 23 days and I am so glad I found MFP! Before I was more concerned with being "skinny" for my wedding rather than being fit. Now I'm addicted to my workouts, lifting heavier weights, pushing through hard cardio sessions and seeing my shape change,…

#3 is not appropriate for a wedding at that type of venue. If it was an evening wedding than it would be fine. Weddings are NOT the place for club dresses! I love #2 on you. It falls very nicely on your body, and is a great color for transitioning from summer to fall.

Im a 2 or a 4 depending on the brand, but just like you, I have a 10 inch difference between waist and hips! Being short doesn't help anything either! My favorite jeans are Paper Denim and Cloth, James Jeans, Eddie Bauer and Loft. I don't mind Old Navy jeans sometimes either. The thing is, I usally buy my expensive…

Cheez its, gold fish and biscoff. They just can't be in the house, I lack the self control to not eat those items. I've already decided that I am taking a box of cheez its on the plane with us when we leave for our honeymoon! I still plan on working out and making good choices while we are on vacation, but for those 6…

I just wore out a pair of sauconys, they have logged many many miles, races, every type of class possible at the gym, and just now became uncomfortable. The were so beat up I looked homeless! I have wider feet, but not so wide that I need a wide shoe, and that makes Nike's out of the question. Yesterday I got a great new…

Change your social settings! Go for a hike, try freebie yoga class, do an art walk, etc. I know that at 25, the bar scene was old news, not enjoyable or even interesting. You might just be moving past it. If I was in your shoes, thats what I would say. Sorry guys, I'm over the bar. If they are good friends, they will make…

I met my soon-to-be hubby when were were 15 or 16. Were good friends, and I was dating on of his buddies. The other guy and I split up after 3 years, and I went for the rebound with my fiance. In hind sight, it was terrible because I knew he was in love with me, and had been for years, but I was just interested in having…

No thanks. There isn't "too much" fat in avocados, beans/lentils are great and the right cuts of pork are very lean. I don't think diets that cut out natural wholesome food are good long term solutions.

Does anybody else think its not very nice of her to bash her husband online?
