They are metabolized differently. A body can break down natural sugars and turn them into energy easier. Refined sugar is harder to process and uses it as a "last resort" for energy...in other words, it's goes to fat first before being used so if you don't use it...

What she said, either because I've lost more or me being STOOOOOPID and gaining weight back.

My ex got a reduction done in the mid 90's. She was 5'2" with significant 36/38 DDs. Back pain & shoulder problems were always an issue. With a doctor's referral, insurance paid for it due to health concerns of the long-term issues on her back. Yes, she had some scaring underneath from the incisions but she never regretted…

Well said Alatariel75!

In the past two years, my health plan has gone up 35%, $250 a month this year alone and this is NOT a "cadillac" plan (I'd hardly call that affordable)...they are saying that it might also go up another 40% after it takes full effect at the end of the year. Why? How has this helped? Insurance was originally designed to…

Are they for everybody? Can't say...but for me? ABSOLUTELY!!! I have had several major issues as teen and adult where chiropractic care resolved my issues and I could walk out of the office straight AND taller and within 3-6 weeks I was fine. There was only one time when they could not help and it was because of the back…

While I tend to weigh myself 4-6 times a week, I usually only log my weigh-in on Friday AM after I workout at the Y unless there's been a "significant" loss which is shown consistently before the Friday weigh-in.

Been there, done that. I was on a plateau for four months (some of my own doing, some not). I went on vacation in April and gained the three pounds I'd been gaining and shedding for four months. When I came back, I lost the three gained and kept going!!! At almost two months since returning, I've lost a total of 10 lbs. I…

NOPE, NOT A CHANCE!!! I was born and raised on meat & potatoes and I love rice with chicken, pork, stir-fry, veggies, etc. HOWEVER, I do control my intake.

Walmart and thrift shops. I always walk thru the clearance racks at Walmart to see what they have. I only buy "wicking" shirts & shorts for working out because they're more comfortable.

Good for you. I personally know several people who've had the various weight-loss surgeries and all of them have either stopped their losses or have gained their weight back and now they are bigger and have more health issues. The problem i see is that the surgery doesn't take care of what goes on on the inside which…

Sodium stays the same...cals, carbs, protein, sugars, etc., increases with exercise

My "official, log-it-in" day is Friday AM after I workout and shower at the Y. However...I typically step on the scale after I relieve myself of a full bladder upon opening my eyes in the AM.

I don't have "cheat" days, I just have an enjoy a special meal or treat time.

Great stuff. My goal is 25 pounds a year for 3 years. By then, I'll have adjusted and then understand what it means to "maintain" my weight rather than fight to lose weight...only to gain it back. I lost my first 25 lbs. quick, struggled for 4 months (part me, part body) and then started taking it off again. Again, my goal…

Absolutely!

I don't know about a "good" cleanse. I can't see your diet journal but I'd suggest taking a look at your diet (content & time). - Are you eating more lean proteins than junk? If we are what we eat, do you need to up the proteins and reduce fat and carbs? - Are you sleeping 6-8 hours? - Are you avoiding food intake several…

Sleep allows your body to function in a healthy manner (brain, rhythms, metabolism, recovery). It needs time to recoup just like your muscles after a workout. If you don't get a healthy sleep, your body can't recover & function properly. - Find a relaxing routine, - Stop the stimulants, sugar & alcohol intake HOURS before…

Change it up...exercise, diet/nutrition, routine, etc. After a weight loss of a several pounds, your body's metabolism changes so changing things up keeps your body on the edge AND look at your MFP goals/plan. With the loss, your calorie intake should change if you want to maintain the same loss pace when you started. For…

Thank you for the tears and the laughter!!! You have made my day start well! Time for some work. =)

It could be due to weight or it could an indication of a bigger problem. Personally, I am doing things now that I couldn't do last August without some pain. I noticed after losing 13-15 pounds my back and knees didn't hurt officiating basketball...there was a spring in my step and I'll never forget the game I noticed it…

Pair of jean shorts that I found in the deep in the dark recesses of a drawer after years without sunshine. I know they're out of style but they were a fav pair years ago so I've kept them around saying one day I want to fit in them again!

You can create a recipe in MFP. Input all the ingredients, divide it by the number of servings, and input the servings you had. I've done it for our breakfast pizza, waffles & a couple other homemade ice cream desserts.

- wearing clothes from the back of my closet - standing up WITHOUT help (no arms, just a squat) from a foot stool after putting on my shoes - looking down and seeing the scale w/out moving - being able to wrap the towel at the Y all the way around AND not have to hold it in place!!!

I'd say, while it's not hardcore and what most people call "strength training", it will build muscle just like by virtue of the resistance. P90X can be done with resistance bands instead of weights and one will certainly build muscle. Personally, I use the elliptical at the Y and have a pro LifeCycle recumbent bike at…

Besides Gr. Canyon (big...take a little hike down into it and "it gets bigger"), I'd suggest Bryce Canyon (beautiful rock color and formations). Personally, I like it better.
