But unfortunately, you usually have to be a certain age to know that....

and cherry balsamic vinegar. <drool>

To try to educate people who don't know the science-based truth about the matter, and thereby attempt to dispel an issue where there should not be one. That is why it was written, and that is why it was posted.

Naw I'm married to cottage cheese. I cheat with full-fat yogurt.

You need to call the police. I imagine they will communicate with the store management, but you should also do that. I promise you this guy was caught on a security camera. He may or may not have been caught in the act on camera, but there's a good chance you can identify him coming in or going out of the store, at least.…

Sugar snap peas. Closest you can get to candy in a vegetable. Roasted cauliflower is also great with just a spritz of oil or butter and salt, or dressed up with any sort of spice or even a little cheese, especially (IMO) a touch of parmesan or romano.

If I only worked out when I felt motivated to do it, I wouldn't have done it since mid-December. If it helps, try to think about how glad you'll be after you've done it.

You've been doing it for several MONTHS? You need to do this for a couple of YEARS, with a child. The usual goal for children is not to get them to lose weight, but to get them to maintain their weight as they grow into it, which he should be doing pretty quickly at 11. Quickly in realistic terms, that is. Treating him as…

Do you have any cooking resources at all? Kitchen in the dorm? Microwave? Hot plate? Are you required to eat your meals in the caf? I know some schools here require freshmen to buy a meal plan in advance, which limits their choices unless they want to throw that money away.

good for you for recognizing when you need to log again, BEFORE it becomes a problem :)

The problem with calling your fondness for sweets an "addiction" is that it mentally excuses you from having responsibility for and control over it. If you want to eat fewer sweets, I would actually suggest that you begin by not using that particular term, especially when you are talking to yourself. Think of it instead as…

If somebody tried to make me eat only vegetables, fruit and chicken, I sure as heck be bringing home all kinds of other foods too! I encourage my boyfriend to eat healthy by preparing all different kinds of meats and pastas, eggs and bacon and pancakes on the weekend, and I keep reasonable amounts of treats that I know he…

See, now THAT'S class. Why...would you do that to a perfectly good mango. :(

Cookies. Ice cream. Pizza.

You know, it always is for me. I'm always surprised when I see people talking about being ravenous after working out, because I never want to eat anything for a couple of hours after a decent workout. But clearly its not the same for everyone, because I do see this pretty regularly.

Like :)

Adults? Yes. Rational? No.

A cup is 236.5 cubic centimeters. A cup is 236.5 milliliters. Feel free to convert. It would be more accurate in any case if you used units of weight instead of volume for solid foods. Look for entries listed in, say, ounces.

I usually add a tablespoon to my diary, unless I'm cooking with the marinade as a sauce. I think a tablespoon is a pretty safe high-end estimate if you draining the marinade off before cooking.

Exercise, generally. No, you don't HAVE to do it, but it keeps me focused on health and how my body feels. Although a nice pot of low-calorie home-made vegetable soup is nothing to sneeze at, either ;). And you can make it out of pretty much whatever you've got, too.

Anything that helps you eat less than you burn should work if your goal is to lose weight. I always wonder what the Nutrisystem foods taste like. For me, you can't beat freshly home-made foods, but then I like to shop and cook and some people don't. The biggest downside of a plan where you're eating someone else's food…

If you try to react to every piece of uninformed and bad diet advice that you hear or read, you're going to have a very tough time of it. Carry on, and as the Coke people say, "Enjoy."

Hey, these might be helpful: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10049766/bulking-a-complete-guide-for-beginners/p1 http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1308750/so-you-want-to-start-lifting-great/p1 Good luck!

so...what sort of feedback were you looking, for, exactly? This all does seem like legitimate feedback to me. Also, lose the fat then add the muscle back does not make perfect sense, no, because when you add back muscle, you're going to also have to add back some fat in the process, and then, presumably, lose it again. So…

Ok, so you're 5 foot 10, 220 pounds, and I'm guessing your age at 30, which is probably a little high. You exercise (at least) 5 days a week for at least 30 minutes. So I calculate your TDEE at 3200 calories/day. You are eating (at least) 1600 calories per day, which makes your deficit (at least) 1600 calories per day.…

You tried. Perhaps the best you can do is keep a friendly (but quiet) eye on her if you guys speak often, and ask how she's feeling.

If you can, swim or do water aerobics. Biking is easier on the knees than anything requiring you to be on your feet, and working on the elliptical is easier on the knees than walking, but can be more difficult in other ways.

Congratulations on two good weeks! I'm not big on the low-carb diet myself, but if its something you want to try as a method of sticking to particular calorie intake level, then I hope you stay strong and have a great weekend! Remember, though, that if you do decide to have a few extra carbs (or calories) over the weekend,…

neither! normal just means that something is similar to how it is for the majority of people. there's a more technical, statistical-oriented explanation, but its not even necessary to understand what the word means. "normal" is usual and "abnormal" is unusual. that is all.

steamed chicken and broccoli with sauce on the side. Its actually one of the tastier things on the menu!
