I think an extract from egg shell membrane is used in Dr Mercola's joint formula. Check his site.

Try rubbing in Emu Oil or Magnesium oil. Epsom salt in a warm bath sometimes helps.

BUMP for later

I've noticed this, but I believe it's some problem with the entry settings for the Data base. If you have a food like peanut butter, on the jar it says -serving size 32g / 2Tbsp. If this is input into the Data base as - serving size= 32g (equal to 2Tbsp), and then you recall the Peanut butter to enter into your days food…

I bought a small carton of cream containing 125ml. Nutritional values were per 100g. Had to empty whole carton and weigh the cream. More math!

I weigh the spoon, zero the scale, use said spoon to scoop out PB, put back on scale and weigh, record weight, PB into mouth and lick spoon clean. Isn't life fun. :smile:

Try entering all the ingredients into the recipe maker as one serving then decide how much you ate ( 1/2, 1/3 etc) of the serving. Then enter that into your diary.

I prefer lbs to kg when measuring weight loss. Using lbs I have double the weight loss. :tongue:

We have our own olive trees. We pick them and I 'pickle' some to eat the rest goes to be pressed for olive oil. Yum :happy:

Did my weigh-in today- %body fat Military (27.8), Covert Bailey (24.3), Fat2fit Original (26), Scientificpsychic (28.3), bathroom scales (29.9) Each use different methods of calculation, and body measurements. Everyone loses fat quicker in different places. I lost quicker on my hips and thighs. Also I lost quicker from my…

Just did my weigh-in today. From Sept 13 2012 BMI down from 26.5 to 23.2 % Body fat down from 37.8 to 28.8 (using Scientificpsychic.com) :smile: Weight now in normal range for height but still want to reduce fat% and increase muscle.

I keep a small magnifying glass in my handbag. Not joking! I find the small print annoying. Get a few strange looks when shopping. :laugh:

This ^ Look at this site bloodsugar101.com Everyone is different and how sugar and carbs affect you will be different to another diabetic/prediabetic. You need to find out what works for you. If you can afford it get a blood glucose meter and test after different foods or meals to see how they affect your blood sugar. This…

I found this BBC documentary about low carb dieting on Youtube. It mainly comments on the Atkins diet and looks into the 'eat as much as you like' part of the diet. The "disappearing calories' everyone is on about. They researched the metabolic increase idea- not the answer, the ketones lost in urine idea- not the answer.…

Hi. Just wondering, did you manage to reach your goal?

Bump. Some great ideas here.

I had pain in my right hip for some time, was worried as I had been taking Actonol for osteopenia/osteoporosis. I found it improved after I started adding ginger and turmeric to my milk at night. I also found that I had no, or little pain first thing in the morning but pain and stiffness after sitting for a long time, at…

Did you wash your hands? lol Seriously though, you said that having a shower could affect the readings. :tongue:

Don't know if congratulations are in order? Must be a relief and now you can relax. lol

Had fun with this. Gives you a boost too when you can see what you could look like. :smile:

My daughter (24) had missed her period and at 2 weeks late 2 home pregnancy tests came out neg. She went to the Gyno and had blood pregnancy test and a vaginal ultrsound- neg no pregnancy. She was prescribed hormonal tabs to take for 5 days to bring on her period. Still no period, just sensitive breasts. After another week…

Tanini makes all the difference. :smile:

Thank you for your reply. Yes I am being treated for my thyroid. I have been hypo for about 24 years. Last TSH test was 0.646 a drop from 2.170 April 2011 (at same dosage). Thanks for the link I will have a good look into it. Not too sure what to do at the moment I know these figures are not a joke.
