TRUTH! It is cheaper, a family can eat at Mc.D's for under 10 bucks, as opposed to a better quality restuarunt which costs more. People want better, and these chains pretend to give it, some give slightly better, but overall the worst offenders won't change because it makes them too profitable and those that don't care,…

It truly is a challenge. It depends on the person though, my dad can eat anything, anything at all and be healthy. Me my body knows the difference between what is natural or organic and what isn't. I made the mistake of eating a dannon yogurt the other day I thought was natural and it didn't go well. There is a HUGE…

[/quote] Average price of chicken breast in Canada is $8 a lb, I have friends in philly who won't pay more then $2.5. Sorry mate, Canada is waaaaaay more expensive then USA. [/quote] Here it is 7-9 dollars a pound for chicken breast in the NJ/phila area (and parts of VA where I travel alot) My hub works at a groccery store…

I use to, but apon review over a 6 month period it was just confusing. (i weighed in weekly before) down a pound, up a pound, down 4 up 2..ect. In the end there was no actual weight change...but it was hard to know that because i was losing inches super slow. So now I do not weigh myself, and I am just using measuring…

I noticed the same thing when I made sure I was eating enough. Plus now with my hub working at wholefoods we get the majority of our food from there, where before we could only get a few things. But i was the same way, I would restrict my calories (and fat) more and more because I wasn't getting results and would wind up…

if you want a goal weight, you should get your body fat calculated. then just decide what percentage you want to be at, there is a wide variety of healthy body fat percentages, and you can find pictures on the internet to give yourself an idea. People fall for each other over compatablity and a variety of other reasons…

I found getting equipment at home helped. So we bought a cheaper not-too-fancy elipitical, ( my hubs former company even paid for half of it through their program to encourage health) it cost 300 bucks from target maybe 7 years ago and still going. But before I could afford that, I walked with my son in his stroller even…

YES, was undereating for years apparently. (sometimes it was obvious too me, others not, I really would think it was enough until I examined it better on here) it took me over a month of eating more (didn't gain) to finally start losing. I shoot for a 700 deficit most of the week. I lost the most recently when on vacation…

I am, can't eat ice cream, cream cheese, most yogurts, cottage cheese or drink milk. Only when I was pregnant I could eat all of these. Can eat hard cheeses, organic yogurt, sour cream. I also find if I eat a bit of fennel, I can digest more dairy. Gave up the milk so long ago I am use to almond milk now. I never was into…

so many things may make it the way it is. My tummy is firm, but its large from having a baby (my goal is to get to 31 inches, now I am 35) I have alot of testosterone and not much progesterone so that maybe part of the deal. I know i have to wear a bigger size because my waist is out of proportion (it should be 31 based on…
-
I know what you mean, my stomach is the only thing I am trying to lose and it is very resistant:) My goal has been to lose 4 inches which would be a size to size in a half as I am between sizes. I know for example most US designers (from reading their size guides) the hips being 10 inches bigger than the waist. So you…
-
yup, my body is probably alot like many peoples out there. It just adjusts itself. I have been at this 10 years. I am healthy at least. I think part of the problem with losing is thinking I had to lose more than I did because the scale was higher from pregancy and never returned...however I am more muscular now than before…
-
I agree with you 100%. I know from personal experience of knowing exactly how many calories I was eating (measuring, scales, lables, data bases before this site) and ALWAYS being at a defict, yet yeilding no weight loss. Yet by mathmatics I would have saved say 10,000 calories over a 10 day period. And I am stubbord and…

YES! I do have high testosterone and am built alot like you. I have huge leg muscles ( i was a dancer most of my life) this includes my rear end. I have very muscular shoulders and decent arms, they arent flabby but I have only recently been working them more. I seem to get and retain muscle very easily. The weight I want…
-
oh so very true. I know a lot of people who never get enough sleep and have some lbs to shed. But saw it first hand myself many years ago when I had a job that kept me from getting real sleep. Gained just from lack of sleep, (didn't have any weight issues either just suddenly had more weight from not sleeping and eating…

unless they know that the "weight number" is not what makes you a "healthy weight"? I would not go by that...if I was to be a healthy weight I would have to have zero body fat...and lose 10lbs of muscle mass...uh no thanks. Just throwing this possibily out there since alot of people have no idea what a healthy weight is…

I use to not "eat them back" and I was sick often whenever my calorie intake was about 1200 (now I know its because my net must have been something ridiculous). I also never lost one stinking pound when I was eating around 1600 calories on average (my basal) so i use to think I could lose weight from the exerise and…
-
I am still adjusting my settings here so there are reasons to do so and to not do so. I know for example if I use the Very active setting it accounts for 450 calories. (this is above what the MFP settings have as the Basal/if you sat all day calories) so if I know I excert more than that I have to otherwise I fall into the…

Your dairy for the past three days nets more like 1000 calories. (net on here is calories in minus exercise, remember that isn't all of your calories just the extra hardest working ones). I think the goal of 1500-1600 net is good so you just need to add another 400-500 calories. Maybe make sure you eat 3 real meals. I had…

waist to hip ratio is suppose to be .7 (divide waist by hip) example is 33 inch waist by 46 inch hips . beauty is always in the eye of the beholder:)
