If you (or your children) are over 49 or under 2 years of age, the shot version of the vaccine is the only option. It does not have live virus in it. Also, those with chronic medical conditions, regardless of age, should only get the injection. My place of employment currently is giving the nasal version to all others. The…

The body does need some fat. Without fat, your body can not absorb fat-soluable vitamins and can become deficient. There are also amino acids and minerals that need fat for metabolism. Try to restrict unhealthy fats (saturated and trans) and include healthy fats (poly, and mono) in the diet.

The 3,500 Kcal/pound is correct. The reason weight may not correspond in loss to the number of calories lost or the numbe of inches lost is that fat weighs less than muscle. When exercising, you try to burn fat. Gaining muscle will speed up your metabolism so you burn more calories at rest which in turn will help with…

I haven't tried the Sketchers brand of shoes but have had a pair of Avon's Curves sandals with the same principle for years. I love them. They are almost worn out. I recently bought a pair of their "shapeing" tennis shoes also. I use them at work and like them also. I'm on my feet 12 hours a day. I feel my calves…

Could it be the Satorius, the Adductor longus or the vastus medialis? My best guess it the Satorius because of the attachment area of the muscle.

Going below 1200 kcal/day causes your metabolism to go into starvation mode which slows down your metabolism. The exercise raises it for a short time but the body wants to protect you from starvation by lowering the calorie expenditure any way it can. Dipping below 1200 kcal/day once in a while doesn't cause your body to…

I agree with Demetria about the fruit but agree that it is hard to resist the sweets. One think I do is take a small piece of cake or half a donut and taste it. Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) the taste of the sweet is a let down and I end up only having a bite or two before throwing the…

I am relatively new also. It would help if you could be more specific about the help you need. The food section of the site is where you enter what you eat. It keeps track of calories and other things you want to track. I track cholesterol, protein, fiber, fat and carbs as well. In the settings section, you are able to…

According to my oldest daughter, Slim Fast shakes have something in them that isn't very good for you. Unfortunatley, I can't remember what it is. My favorite one is the cappachino one. I think if you drink them only once in a while instead of on a regular basis, you would be ok. My youngest daughter, a very picky eater,…

Thank you for the instructions.

Thanks for the welcome. I am already using the food and exercise sections of this site. I went to the tools section to get my weight loss ticker. I picked it out but don't really understand how to get it to my posts. I work 12 hour days, three days a week. I have two daughters, one who is now married, one who is a junior…
