If chewing is enough exercise to equalize the calories from an apple, as one poster states. That means I could eat a dozen apples a day and not have to count those 960 or so calories. Hmmm Unlikely. And we could also call, gum chewing a calorie burner. I chew and digest meat, walnuts, and other whatevers. Am I allowed to…

Fruits and vegetables! Best source. Beyond that, if necessary, Add fiber supplements. Not capsule types. Powder, flakes, granules. whatever form you choose. There are so many out there. Tasteless. Many don't change food texture. Like any thing else start with small doses. There's always a learning curve. Google will give…

Pretty sure you won't get raw pork anywhere in the U.S. The rest of your list should be easy. And yes the U.S. has pretty well taken over the word America. To them it is a Country. To the rest of the Western Hemisphere it is Two Continents. Three actually. North..... Central ...... South.

You know who believes Dr Oz? The same people who are entertained by Honey Boo Boo The same people who goo and gaw over those two little English brats on Ellen. I am so often taken aback by what he Doesn't know. Info that's been out there for Ages! I watch his show EVERYDAY. I use him as my exercise program. It works by me…

Google. Their program is all there. 4-6 hours a day of working out HARD And yes they're on Super low calorie diets. Dr.s standing by every minute. Health stats checked every day. Water Water Water Besides they're morbidly obese. The first pounds come off very quickly.

I'm pretty sure most people have this problem. If you order a larger size and it doesn't fit, you have an unwearable item. If you order a smaller size and it doesn't fit, you have an unwearable item. So either way, you're stuck with a useless piece of clothing. However .... You know you're smaller than you think so.....…

Give her water to drink at lunch. You can make sure she gets her milk at other times. That way she has no money at school. And yes make sure there is no junk food at home.

I googled Orthorexia. It's well worth a read. And yes have your burger. Once in a while won't 'break the bank'

You're half the size. You're TWICE the Man!

You went out. You did it. Elite runners do 6 miles in about 20 some minutes. do the math and ....... You had a superb time. Take your time training up if that's your objective. Good an ya'!

Many times the calories listed on/in MFP are WAY off. Remember the nutritional contents/counts have been added by people like us. If we knew, we wouldn't be here. When you find Sirloin Tip Roast listed at 150 calories for 6 ounces, There's a Huge Problem! Red meat is about 60 calories an ounce. Thusly 6 ounces is closer to…

In a word: If you have to unwrap your snack, it's probably not good for you.

All above well said. And... a four year old is still small enough to tuck under your arm and leave with. No matter her state of temper or dress. As long as she has underwear on.

How much do you and your Aunty know about fitness and nutrition? I'm going to say educate yourself on those topics. Talk to some professionals and make a decision based on knowledge. You weigh 144 kg. You want to lose 75 kg. Leaving you weighing 69 kg I'm sure losing more than half your body weight in a year is impossible…

..... Nope all I've ever done is long distance running. Those calves are genetic. I got mine from my Mother. None of my three sisters did. And none of them ran long distance. Theory ... Busted,.

I count everything liquid that goes in. I agree with AnvilHead. Drinks with a diuretic effect don't pull out cup for cup. Milk in cereal is liquid. Etc. Etc.

Remind him, You don't have to be skinny to be fit and healthy. Lots of skinny people are in worse 'shape' than someone with a few pounds who works out. Maybe he needs to know that. Lots of people don't. Or yeah, drop a barbell on his toe:laugh:

I have a container of fresh fruits and vegetables on my desk and I always just say "No thanks I am changing the way I eat" You don't have to feel bad if their feelings are hurt. Never apologize. Never explain. You don't owe them anything. If they push it. Repeat again. " No thanks I am changing the way I eat. Smile and…

Only snack on vegetables. Problem solved.

Google. I saw it on T.O.P.S. site a while back. I tried them Oh So Good!

My granddaughter whom I parent much of the time, has Phelan-McDermid Syndrome. Basically a gene deletion in chromosome 22. A lot of her symptoms mimic autism. Her intelligence is quite affected. Depending on the day and what's going on etc. etc. She's between about 3 & 7. She turns 11 next week. Sent you a friend request.

You're holding (twisting) something wrong. Or pulling on your neck. hands behind your head? Doing them too fast? Eyes looking at your feet? I stare straight up at the ceiling. That keeps my head still. Is the rest of your body in proper alignment? Other than that get someone who KNOWS what they're looking at to watch you…

This ^^^^ times twenty!

I too do a walk in place routine. I can't jump either. There are lots of ways to get your heart rate up while walking. Varying speeds. Swing your arms fast. Differing motions. All the things aerobics classes do without the jumping. I walk on my heels, toes, inside of feet, outside of feet. Differing steps. Lots of…

So many things never make it 'across the border'. Not sorry to miss this one!

Can you show us the ingredient list? That's just weird. What did it taste like?:tongue:

As long as you're not hungry, and your brain is satisfied. Use the mix that works for you. I don't see any vegetables or fruit listed in your example. If you're having low calorie soup at lunch, where are the 350 calories coming from. Bread and sour cream? I'd look at that. Again at dinner, bread and protein only. Cut back…

We don't have to be right on all the time. We just have to be right on enough that we don't become right off.

I started my own 'Walk in Place' workout. No DVD player required. A yoga mat, some exercise bands and a little imagination LOL are all that's required. I got books from the library to learn form and technique. Stretching is easy anywhere. I do wall push-ups. And lots of floor exercises. Abs (eeww) I skip the jogging and…

There's a formula for figuring out just that. I don't have it right now, but remember doing it. Then I did the add a zero thing and they came up almost equal. It makes perfect sense. But still if you're an adult never go below 1200. That's for maintenance. If you want to lose weight. Add a zero to the end of your goal…
