I think people blow things way out of proportion. I don't at all see how this commercial is promoting eating disorders. If anything it looks like it's promoting making healthier choices.

I need to put this on my cupboard.

Oh dear lord that size 0 model looks sickly. I'm super happy to see that some fashion designers are coming to their senses and realizing that the average woman cannot relate to a skeleton.

If I find myself short of my calorie goal I try to eat something that is healthy but still high in calories but that isn't going to make me feel bloated like a handful of peanuts or peanut butter. It's important to reach our calorie goals at the very least. It's hard on your body when you ask it to function on 800 calories…

I tend to shy away from that kind of grazing just because I'm not good at having just one bite of anything, especially if it's yummy. But I would say that you should count it. In the end every calorie counts and little things like that can add up.

You probably won't find a quality HRM for less than 50 dollars unless you get one used and even then it's hard to find. I managed to get a Polar FT4 on ebay for 65 dollars including shipping and handling from somebody who had never used it. It does have a chest strap but it really doesn't bother me. It's not very big at…

You don't have to feel bad or weird about asking for a box or asking for your food to be made a certain way. Having been a waitress myself we don't actually mind special requests IF you are going to tip well. And if you are going to be extra picky about how the food is made maybe leave a little somethin somethin for the…

When you take an animal to get processed they charge you by weight before they take all the fat out so they really have no reason to fill your ground beef with fillers and fat. So generally anything that isn't from a super market tends to be relatively lean.

I'm buying all of my "in between clothes" from the thrift store. I really just can't afford to buy new clothes every 10 - 15 pounds. I kept my clothes from 220 pounds all the way up until a few months ago and just wore clothes that were too big for me. When I hit my goal weight i'm gonna go butter up my dad and see if…

Remember when Quizno's had those annoying scary looking singing hamster things???? I mean Quizno's wasn't ever really that good to begin with but after those it's not even an option.

It's a big goal that would require a lot of time, work and dedication. If you have a other responsibilities in your life it might just be too much to reach for. The first 10 - 20 pounds will come of fast and easy and after it will gradually slow down so just be warned and don't get discouraged when it happens. Set mini…

I stay up until 3 am some days and usually eat until 1AM sometimes later if I have the calories leftover. It really isn't going to hurt anything if it's simple easy to digest carbs like fruit. As long as you don't go too crazy and stuff yourself you'll be fine. Look at me. I'm a late night eater and I've lost over 60…

I know how you feel. I work with a lot of people that never saw me when I was 220 pounds. Most of these people are at least overweight if not obese and are completely delusional. They look at me and say "What do you need to lose weight for? Your so skinny already. Do you really think you need to lose more weight? Is that…

I started at 220. My first 20 pounds dropped off super fast just from drinking more water, no more soda, and no more pizza from work. Exercise is going to be hard and sometimes aggravating when you first start. But remember start small and work your way up. Any amount of moving your body that you didn't do previously will…

I would be a wolf. They are majestic, beautiful and mysterious animals.

Um no. Male horses are stallions if they have not been castrated. A castrated male is a gelding. Mustangs are a recognized breed of horse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustang_(horse)

My guess would be that they would still have health issues. As important as portion sizes are it's not the whole thing. The nutrition aspect is extremely extremely important for overall health. And if they are not actually learning how to take care of themselves properly if their surgery is ever undone they will most…

I use a hrm annd I log the amount of time I spend in my target zone . It tells he my whole time and time in zone So if I take a 30 second break without going below my target it still counts.

About 75% of my boyfriends replies to anything I say to him start with"your mom. . ."and because my dad informed us that my mom slept with him on the first date the statement usually ends with "...on the first date" "did you take the trash out?" "your mom took the trash out. . . on the first date"

Low batteries does make a difference. Also what kind of floor is your bathroom scale on? I've had some really crappy bathroom scales that would tell me I weigh different amounts just depending on where I placed it in the bathroom, the tilt of the floor, or how I stood on it. But then again I don't know how accurate a Wii…

Yea i had Red Robin burger, fries mozzarella sticks this week. Oh man. I ate way over my entire days worth of calories in one sitting and I hadn't even finished my burger. I didn't want to log it and when I did was so appalled. Good motivation to curb my cravings.

Is it like an all around dull pain? Or is it a pin pointed sharp pain? If it's the latter it could be heal spurs. Other wise it could be the shoes you are wearing and the way you run.

Nobody ever notices until I buy smaller clothes because my big clothes hide it. . I generally get pretty rude responses from people at work like "Are you sure you are eating enough? Your not puking all the time are you?" Granted this is all coming from overweight - obese people who have no interest in diet and fitness and…

I'm sitting at about 156 right now and my thighs are about 23" I always think I have fat thighs but when I cry to my boyfriend about it he reminds me to flex and then I realize how much of them are muscle. I probably only have about 1.5 - 2 inches to lose on them.

Ok but how do you keep yourself from eating it?

Ill try the mushrooms next time. My boyfriend wont eat onions. Maybe ill just put onions in my oatties.

I got some Nitro-Peak chocolate peanut butter yesterday after my work out with 8 oz of skim milk. It was really good but I had to chill it in the freezer a bit because it came out of the blender luke warm. My boyfriend uses the vanilla flavor and puts a couple of frozen strawberries in it and has a strawberry vanilla…

You should really try to wean yourself off of it. Diet soda isn't really any better than regular soda. The fact is that your body doesn't really know the difference between real sugar and the sugar substitute and will produce insulin in either case to re balance your blood sugar making it harder for you to burn fat. It is…

Watching TV gives me the munchies hard core. I really gotta do something with my hands to get my mind off of wanting to eat. I try to work on any number of my art projects I've got going on.

If the calorie counts were posted on every menu you ordered from, would you think twice about what you ordered? Definitely. In fact i go out of my way to find restaurants that have the calories on at least some of the menu items. For example, let's say you had seen a new feature advertised at a local fast food place that…
