Wait what? Are you asking me why I mentioned about flagging? I'm not following why you quoted me.

I think they are upset at the comment and are flagging the comment per say as though to suggest they aren't agreeing. But that's not what the flag system is meant for. I have a feeling they aren't aware what goes on behind the scenes.

OP, some people are new at the gym and are trying to get comfortable with the machine. They probably feel safe holding on to the machine.

All I'm seeing is someone going around flagging valid comments. Whoever is doing it probably doesn't know your username get's sent to the moderators along with the post that you have flagged.. If the moderators think it was a waste of their time they come back at you. In short it backfires. Don't do it for the sake of your…

Slow down.

I got rid of weight by - * I cut off processed/packaged food and started eating less at restaurants. * I started cooking at home more and more pretty much everything that they serve at restaurants including international cuisines. * I now control calories in by eating more 80% nutritious dense food. I reserved 20% treat…

I should have been more specific in my original post that my comment is meant for someone who has to watch their blood sugar. Actually I did "Besides calories do you care or watch for GI? " but I think you may have missed it. I'm very specifically targeting this post to get the attention of the audience who have to watch…

OP isn't asking about weight loss and processed meat.

OP, You are an awesome mom and have handled the comments very well.

It is sad. But Let go. Just let go. We cannot fix our past. We can acknowledge it got messed up and move on for the sake of better present and even better future. Peace.

I have no idea how I even crossed 40 mark. I have never drank Dr Pepper ever in my life. EDTA: I would be bored to live for 104 years especially if I am the only one left around in midst of strangers. I would hate to be the last one to go in the family.

OP, My uncle is like the "pensioner" you mentioned. Lived this lifestyle for as long as I have been walking on this earth or maybe even more. He is 78 years old. Does not eat after 7.00 pm. He is very lean and active. But he is also a man of fixed regime. He, for last I don't know how many years, has a fixed schedule he…

Do you have a family history wherein it may be advised to monitor blood glucose? If yes, do you check your blood glucose? The reason I'm asking this is because if you do have family history and if you are not monitoring blood glucose after your this particular meal (bolded above) chances are it has spiked and hence the…

The best 2 things I like @ my gym - There is rarely ever a machine that has "Out of Order" sign. And if ever it does - they fix it fast. It's open 24 hours.

Thanks.

No. Nothing to do with kitten typing. They are getting closer from getting banned from forum. There is a lot of talk about this user lately in the private news feed. If you think they are attempting to de-rail your thread use the report button.

I'm so with you. It breaks my heart to hear the dogs barking from inside when we walk our dogs. A happy dog is a tired dog. Not many humans know that but that's the best a human can do for their four legged family member - take them for a walk.

It's not a dumb question. No question is ever dumb. People who think ask questions. Sore muscles do not indicate a good workout (http://www.intense-workout.com/muscle_soreness.html) However .... From your post I'm kinda reading you are doing same thing again and again. You have a pattern that you follow. If that's the case…

Been there. I know exactly what you are talking. Keep training your body/mind to get used to new schedule. They'll respond eventually to your training and behave just the way you want them to. My mantra for anything new I do "When was the last time I did it." If the answer is never ....

Thanks alot. Truly Appreciated.

I have lost 42.9% as of today. If I loose 10% more I am at my goal weight.

I have a question about the bolded part When you guys say you don't eat anything or stockpile most of calories for afternoon - you are not taking into consideration coffee or tea? Am I correct? I can survive on just 2 cups of coffee plus creamer (I need my Hazelnut creamer for my sweet tooth ;) ) till 2:00 pm I trying to…

I always go parallel. If I can't go parallel that day I lower weights. Not Every Squat Day is a best squat day for me.

If we all get caught up in sex + champagne who is going to resolve "Sweat or not sweat in gym etiquette"? Can we have a final word on that please? I want to sweat so bad.

If you really think about it people don't need anyone to set goals and reach them. No one.

If you continue to live a life for your husband when are you going to live life for yourself.

OP, Do not worry about what people think at gym. Do your thing and leave. Seriously no one cares and no one bothers. Everyone is trying to get the workout done. EDTA: I have no idea why in the world everytime ... everytime someone has to even mention about PF and people will charge in to bash. C'mon guys it's getting old…

5 times in a year 1) Parent's anniversary 2) Dad's birthday 3) Mom's birthday 4) My birthday 5) Sister's birthday That's about it. 5 times in a year. Same went about for buying new clothes. Birthday, summertime, beginning of school year and during festival.

+ 1 Heck. I'm at it since 2012 and I'm still learning. I think as out goals change so do our process. There is always something new to learn.
