I do not understand the surgery and why people subject themselves to that. Either way you need to learn to eat better.

I have this hanging on the wall.

Is it a squat rack or a cage? If a cage does your gym have a bench to slide in?

How big was that piece of pie? Doing a search for pineapple pie in MFP's data base brings back a few hits for 300'ish but a lot of hits for half that and everything in between. The buzz words diet, light, low fat, no fat, sugar free, nutrition rich, does not necessarily equal low calorie or healthy. Many of these things…

Don't try to make all your changes at once. That is one of the big reasons so many people fail at this. They try to make a change overnight and set unreasonable expectations. Only make small changes that you can maintain long term. Those are much easier to accept and adapt to if you ease into them. Eventually they can lead…

Everybody is trying to sell something. Mcdonalds is better than Burger King, Coke is better than Pepsi, Subway is healthier than any other fast food. Crossfit is trying to sell something "elite" and justify why they charge so much more than others.

Were your previous times on a tread mill or outside? Some people are slower on the treadmill.

Calorie counts are estimates calculated from formulas built on averages. So they are very precise.

Not only does it disagree with me it doesn't taste good. Around Christmas I took the kids to Mcdonalds, they wanted to play on the play land. I didn't get anything for me. Figure I'd wait till I got home to have something good. My 3 yr old took one bite of her burger and wouldn't touch it again. I didn't want it to go to…

Wife bought me a 2XL shirt.

I must look into this Zombie app. I need more speed work.

Please note I'm in no way bashing any one that would choose to eat the donut and work it into their calories. I just know for me saying no is the right choice. There are things that I will treat myself. As fruit is one of my favorite treats I'll often make a fruit smoothie with frozen yogurt if I have enough calories at…

Some boot camp classes can be to extreme. I attended one once that was. I never went back Crossfit is kind of known for being extreme. They aren't all bad.

The OP made the right choice. I had my first doughnut in months a couple weeks ago at a meeting. Only after logging the 400 calories did I realize that's nearly 25% of my day. It wasn't even very good. When you cut out those sweets and processed junk for a while it doesn't taste as good when you go back to it. I won't be…

Why is it if they guy doesn't change to match what the girl wants he is the one that is wrong?

You could just walk, most people underestimate the power of walking. Compared to doing nothing walking is awesome. Compared to a workout where you really sweat, walking isn't so awesome. Your going to have to walk a lot of hours a day to burn the calories of one good hour of exercise intense enough to get a good sweat on.…

Open honest communication with mutual respect for each others needs could solve every problem in the world it it was practiced. At least start with the open and honest communication part. Most men are not mind readers and few have been trained to read the signs. So if he's not getting it you gotta tell him. At the same…

Do not under estimate the power of walking. So what if they are walking on the treadmill for 2 hours and you want to get in a 20 minute run. How is it that their 2 hour walk is any less important? So what if they want to do 200 reps of 10lbs, Is your 120lb set more important? So what if they want to text while they walk.…

If your diagnosed with hypoglycemia it seems like you should visit a doctor more often than every 8 years. If you don't like doctors how about consulting with a nutritionist?

Nearly all of this is the fault of gym management. For not creating or enforcing these policies. Most gyms have rules that cover most of this behavior. The normal gym is to large to effectively enforce anything and management doesn't even try. If there is enough clients coming in odds are that you'll get a few who are OCD…

Friends lists and groups are the best place to turn to for support. The public forums here have suffered from the weight of MFP's popularity. It's the sad natural evolution of a internet message board. When a forum gets popular enough eventually the 1% ruins it for the rest. Don't give up, don't give in. As Macarthur once…

Plan for it in your calorie goals and enjoy which ever you'd prefer.

Give any change at least 2 weeks. If your constantly adjusting you don't know what's working or not because your not giving it enough time. Stop using quick added calories. It makes it difficult to go back and look at what your eating to figure out what your doing wrong. Try to cut back on processed foods. Track and try to…

Tell them you need to know for medical reasons. Its the truth.

Welcome fellow Michigander! When you say table top games here what are you talking about? You talking board games, card games, RPG games? It's important to know your geekness in order to advise you in the right direction. I'm a board game player and I'm not talking about monopoly I'm talking about real board games. If your…

No body said that Livestrong is discredited because of what Lance did. Livestrong wasn't an authoritative source on medical or nutritional topics even before he admitted his lying cheating ways. I don't see how the MIT article you linked adds anything to the discussion. You do not need 8 glasses of water a day to stay…

Many of the so called appetite suppressant pills have caffeine as a major ingredient. Though like anything else if you take enough, often enough your body will adapt to it.

So you've been doing this for 5 weeks and you don't exercise? It's not working for you and your planning to go lower? You should enlist some professional help because I don't think your on a healthy path. The eat more to weigh less is specifically aimed at people that are exercising, especially intense exercise because…

The smart phones ones graph your heart rate for your whole workout, map your route using GPS, show a graph of your speed, even show you elevation changes along your route. It generates more statistics than you'll use but you may be interested in some of them. It's neat to me to see the effect a hill has on my heart rate…
