I have had a few people ask about the app my husband just got for his phone. It is by Road ID and is only available for iPhones at this time. If you go to the App store and look for Road ID, you will find it. They are working on a version for Android. Here is the link to their site: https://www.roadid.com/ecrumbs It is in…

According to one of the comments on that article, the rider who died was apparently in the lead, and was the stronger rider, ahead of his friend. He had fallen earlier, and had assured the other rider he was fine to continue riding, so it wasn't like the other rider left him. On narrow parts of paths, it is quite easy to…

He left behind 2 young children. http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/denton/Missing-mountain-biker-found-dead-in-ravine-264300591.html I apologize to anyone reading this that may know him personally, if this adds to your grief, but I felt that sharing this story might help save someone's life.

I wouldn't put at as the all time best animated movie, but it was very enjoyable. It is a Disney cartoon, so it is directed at kids, and mostly young girls. I haven't found any young girl who didn't love it. For anyone who doesn't enjoy Disney animated movies, especially a musical, then this movie probably is not for you.…

lol. Then WHY did you watch any of it at all? Did you not know it was a cartoon? Just found this post hilarious.:laugh:

I LOVE my Papillon! Beautiful. So much personality. And very empathetic with whoever she is with at the moment. If you just get past the giant ears. :laugh:

^Stuffed. :laugh:

Good for you!! I don't know how many times I think I have blown the day, and don't want to log it, then when I enter my food I realize I didn't even go over my cals. Or perhaps I just went 100 over, and still have a deficit. Logging it all, good and bad, gives you an honest picture. You may not be perfect, but you can see…

I understand the sense of failure you feel every time you try and don't succeed. I had come to the point where I just accepted that I would be obese and unable to walk for the rest of my life. My time had come and gone. Then my mom died of Diabetes. That was the kick I needed to try one last time. Actually I resolved to…

My happiness was never tied to my appearance, so looking better because of the weight loss, didn't make me happy. I have always been a fairly happy person. However, after a spinal injury put me in a wheelchair for awhile and sidelined me for several years, the weight I gained over several years only exacerbated my…

So since you have been dieting for the past 7 months, you only have one or two drinks per month? So here you say that on at least 8 occasions over the past 7 months, you have drank in excess? So more than one drink a month? oh really? You seem to be in a lot of denial about your drinking habits. Buzzed is just code for…

Here, read some more suggestions from this thread http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1328277-i-ve-only-had-800-cals-but-i-m-so-full

Edited because I responded with good advice before I read all the insults to others with good advice. So never mind.

But why would anyone want to spend money on a book that tells them how to yo-yo diet? I think we all have that down. "Ruth Princess, author of Diary of a Fat Female, wants to help you. After decades of successful and unsuccessful eating, Ruth Princess lost over 50 pounds when she started her book in 2002. Years later, she…

Apparently that is the case. But don't dare call her an alcoholic, even if the high tolerance she is experiencing points in that direction. Be kind to your liver. Dying from cirrhosis is a horribly painful death. But you don't have to worry about weight loss anymore.

Found this online: "Guidelines for Breaking a Fast: Care needs to be taken when breaking a fast so as not to overburden your digestive system. The best benefit of fasting is realized when a fast is broken properly. Taking it slow and easy is not only kind to your body, but allows YOU the opportunity to integrate your…

OK, you did it, you feel better, and now you want some advice on how not to gain the weight back. In my opinion, the biggest reason that you feel so much better, is that you cut out alcohol for 10 days. You sound like you were a pretty heavy drinker before doing this cleanse, and a lot of processed sugars. So if nothing…

WW worked well for me the first time I joined, after my first baby. Years later, I tried it again several times with no real success. Why did it work in 1989? Because initially it was based on exchanges, like the Diabetic diet. You ate a balanced diet of Protein, Fat, Carbs, etc. You were limited to 3 servings of starchy…

WOW. What a novel way to promote your book on healthy living.:noway:

I need to read this every day! And I am a few years older than 19. Never give up the fight!

That question is a bit more complicated than many are making it. First, your profile says you are 18. I'm thinking you might be a bit younger than that, but whatever. You are in HS. Kids in HS are a bit more shallow than they are when they are older and have matured a bit. Doesn't mean that overweight kids in school can't…

This makes me sad. What drew you two together in the first place? Were you not who you were then? How long have you been married? Any kids from the relationship? Not sure what you want to hear, but it sounds like either you shouldn't have married in the first place, or you are just looking for reasons to be single again.…

When my Triglycerides came back at 685, my doctor said it was a precursor to Diabetes. Since T2D runs in my family, he got my attention! I lowered my carbs and started reducing that number dramatically. The last test this past fall had me at 147. My mom died from diabetes 2 years ago, so I am much more concerned with my…

What is so bad about soda? The sugar content? Koolaid and apple juice have just as much sugar if not more. We never got soda when we were kids because my parents couldn't afford it. We grew up on Koolaid and iced tea, and milk. We all ended up obese as adults. The only difference in soda is that it has carbonated water in…

My son drinks soda every day. He is perfectly healthy, and has never had a cavity at 14.

Nothing is worth ever talking to your kids like that. Get a grip. It is not your children's fault that you can't get your diet under control. They do not deserve to be treated like that.

That's what I thought when I saw the title, too! lol I get the impression that veins on guys are the equivalent of thigh gaps on girls. They are both more likely to impress members of the same, rather than opposite sex. Meh.

This has been a great thread to see what a vast difference women can have in their TDEEs, due to different factors i.e. age, height, activity levels, etc. Even some women who seem to have the same factors as another, can still have different maintenance levels. There does seem to be one constant, that if you can do…

I can so relate. After I lost the first 50 pounds, I felt so much better. And buying new clothes was fun again. I know I still have over 25 left to lose to get to my Healthy weight range, but just can't find that desperation motivation I had in the beginning. I have been at maintenance for almost a year now. I keep trying…
