maybe the settings aren't at a good level for you (resistance). also, i feel it in a different part of my legs when i use the elliptical (as opposed to treadmill) maybe your muscles there arent as developed? good luck. if anything, as someone who works there or is on the machine next to you.

also if you haven't eaten too much earlier then it's okay to eat something if you allow a little time to digest.

i misspoke theyre not bad for your health they are bad for your stomach they give you gad and diarrhea. Sorry!

yeah it was really immature. I'm sorry if it sounded threatening to you that I was trying to give advice. I sat down with some of my notes from a class that I do pass (and do well in) and I wrote some things I found interesting. there is a difference between healthy in nutrition and what is good for weight loss. A lot of…

I do actually take a class in food science and I've been studying it. I do not consider myself a "guru" and I never said everyone is a f-ing idiot. I just wanted to offer advice from what i've learned by a trained nutritionist and teacher. I am more educated than many of the people I know about nutrition but I never said I…

lol thats not true at all. packaged foods are not healthy but they can be good for weight loss.

well not all pre-packaged foods are that bad for you. of course some are and of course you should do things in moderation, but the whole idea of lean cuisine meals wasn't my main point.

yeah i know that but it's one of my "bad" foods. Yes, an organic or homemade pizza is better. But I wasn't trying to advise that people eat lean cuisine. Once in a while i do enjoy lean cuisine foods. Mostly, I meant that you can top your pizza with veggies, add veggies to pasta, and make more foods calorie-dense.

why did you quote "lean cuisine pizzas" they dont have trans fats and arent artificial theyre just smaller portions. They have calories. I mean with any pizza really, and i do not eat them on a daily basis. I'm saying that you can make you foods more calorie dense to sustain energy.

well all bodily functions need water but 8 glasses is just recommended. Your body does need water but it's 8 give or take.

it's fine, but don't chew a pack per day or anything crazy because it has sugar alcohols which are very bad for your health.

eat the skin, it's very healthy. potatoes are technically a vegetable, but they are very starchy which makes them unhealthy. Try to cut down on eating them too often but you need not cut them out all together :)

diet coke is much better for you. carbonation is bad because it eats the calcium in your body, but both coke and diet coke have that. one diet coke per day is fine. one regular coke had about 9 tsp of sugar and thats all your sugar for a day. you are supposed to have 8-9 tspns. To find this amount you take the grams and…

it's not a theory. men do usually lose weight faster. a womans body has more fat than a mans. it's rly annoying and it's the same thing with my parents. My mom would diet for 3 months and lose maybe a pound and my dad would diet for 2 weeks and lose 10.

thank you :) lol. I woke up today and I realized how stupid the whole situation was.

LOL yeah i think he meant tall and chubby because I am, but it's still not his concern. Neither of those has anything to do with "opportunities" though unless its a. something creepy involving him or b. plus-size modeling? I don't even know. Regardless I'm not plus-sized (even if i were he wouldnt have a right to say…

Congrats on the twins! and if you are participating in a marathon that's pretty kick-*kitten* and "big person" is ridiculous because even if someone weighed more and had a lot of muscle they'd be considered that too but they could be in decent shape. Also, muscle weights more than fat. But yeah, I'm getting off-topic. I…

"sometimes husky girls like Lisa get too excited and accidents happen". I laughed at that, but teachers and people tend to say things before they think them through. I would've definitely defended myself. In this case the man was actually trying to be nice. He said I have a nice shape but the "big girl" reference was…

aw thanks :) i think the worst part was that he was somehow trying to compliment me. I just feel bad because I haven't gotten to the gym this week and I have been eating a few calories over my goals. I just never expected that to come from a complete stranger, and have it affect me. Usually if strangers say something it's…

hey sry but how do u post things on the message boards?

yeah that happened to me after i had gone to the gym for a week straight. I finally felt on track and then I got sick. You should just take it easy and be careful not to overeat while your sick. Sometimes I'll lay on my couch when I'm sick and I'll just keep eating.. be careful to watch it. Feel better! and good luck!

I ask myself some of the same questions while i eat but when I workout I only think about my answers: I want to lose weight because I don't like how I look, I want to be healthier, I want to have more control over my diet and exercise. I do it for me, I do it for my boyfriend. I want to keep the weight off and get on track…

I burned 600 on the elliptical today only to eat my weight in cookies later. I went to a holiday party and ate 3 latkes and 2 1/2 cookies.. -_- woops. well i guess i will just keep up my daily elliptical workout as well. GOOD LUCK!
