find out your resting metabolic rate and ensure you are getting proper nutrition vs counting calories as much

There is no cutoff time for a last meal. Typically I eat/snack until 2 am sometimes however the key is to space your last meal before sleeping appropriately to allow for digestion. That said, I wait at least 10 hrs to have another meal the following day. When your stomach growls it is your digestive system working not…

I am HUMAN and choose not to put myself in any category box or label. I wish others would follow suit. We are alike than we are different. Humans have bigger issues to tackle that being divisive only complicates solving them. :heart:

Focus on the NOW. Stay in the moment. Don't let anxiety from the past confuse you and don't worry about the future. The only that matters is RIGHT NOW. Enjoy it don't stress. That is why it's called the PRESENT. :) Don't look back.

Trail Mix. I make my own with raisins, m&m's, almonds, peanuts, sunflower seeds sometimes granola.

More important is knowing your resting metabolic rate.

Nothing! Why be pissed of? Why would anyone choose to focus on negative things? Only to attract more of the same energy I suppose.

That is awesome. So inspiring to others. Nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it. Change is good. Check out this link is for the BMR measurement. http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/. It helps with understanding your metabolism.

I love breakfast dinners also. Hotcakes & Sausage. YUM!

Almond, Yogurt are good sources.

Grandmother told me what other people think of you is none of your business. So motivate yourself. Self-motivation and discipline is ultimately one's goal anyway. Your brain actually controls everything anyway! A strong mind leads to strong actions, weak minds lead to weak actions. It all begins with a thought. Everything…

Stress on the body can cause more issues than eating the chocolate. have fun!

Everything starts at home. Your taste buds are manipulated early in life. Yes thank you for consider us a "whole". Nothing exists interdependently as we are all one. You are enlightened enough to realize the ramifications of another persons action and they actually do affect others.

I want to get dreds started. Tell me about the process.

You are beautiful before and after! The commitment and resolve that you have to achieve a goal is admirable. Your mind can achieve anything. Kudos.

Popcorn by the bucket!

I have been natural for 10 yrs! I use mayo, eggs, vinegar, tea, olive oil, coconut milk, avocado and rosemary oil as well. Google some hair recipes. You can use so many to make your hair smell good and look great! Your kitchen has everything you need for your hair and skin. I can send you some of my recipes if you like.…

It's best to use sugar in moderation, honey and not a substitute. The chemicals in them are toxic and harmful to your body. Google it for more info.

Sit on a huge exercise ball in place of your desk chair for at least 20 mins a day. Great on your abs, posture and proper breathing. It's funny but if you don't care what others think do it. I did it for a few years.

If you can think it, see it, believe it you can do it. Mind over matter. Anything is possible. It's up to YOU to believe it. :)

Chicken Thighs - Chicken Cacciatore with lots of veggies and EVOO. So good. Enjoy!

I'm 5'6 - 100lbs and I have been for my entire adult life. I look wonderfully toned with 6pack abs great arms legs and beautiful body. I practice yoga often. I love myself. People would tell me eat a sandwich etc. I simply laugh. Judgment is not for us to judge others. I joined MFP to track my eating habits and to ensure I…

Get new friends. You will experience less resistance with like minded people. Don't judge others, just let go and move forward in peace.

Read the book - Clean by Alejandro Junger.

The Holy Bible The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle Are you there God it's me Margaret? - :laugh:

Hi All. I joined the group to meet other people who are on the other end of the weight spectrum. So many are trying to loose weight and that is a non-issue for me. In addition, I and not looking to loose weight either. I am 100 lbs and happy with my height and weight. I just want to remain healthy both physically and…

No amount is too much. I use it on so many foods. Meat, veggies, pasta etc before and after cooking. In addition I use EVOO on my hair and all over my body as well. It's amazing, creates a wonderful glow and 100% pure. It does not have the toxins other health and beauty aides do.

Let's not judge others. It is most wrong with this world. Our society is so quick to judge others. The reality is that this is more common. Childhood obesity has a myriad of factors, this is just one case that has made national headlines. It started prior to this child's life and can be attributed to not only what he eats…
