The CDC has been spending a lot of time playing in back yards it does not belong in. There are other sources that are better for sodium, alcohol and many other substances. My doctor uses the American Heart Association guidelines. And even those guidelines contain the following disclaimer: "Also, it's not possible to…

Pepperidge Farm 15-grain. 100 calories, 4 grams fiber per slice. Tastes good, too. Also, if I can get my hands on Milton's. I think it is also 100 calories, maybe 110 and 3 grams fiber.

I like you. A lot. :drinker:

If you only wrote about the weight loss,I would be blown away. But what you are doing for your community by fundraising and giving back - you are a truly special person.

For the win!

This! These links are some of the best information you can pick up. Ten years ago, I did Adkins with the same result - lost a lot and gained all plus when I quit due to work demands. Three years ago, I started tracking and exercising. I am down 45 pounds, rarely hungry and my body fat is lower than ever. Also, I work an…

How you doing?:wink:

OP, need a hug?

That may explain why I like the whole duck but on the leg quarters of the chicken. Thank you!

Nah-uh, cause I'm gonna get em all before you get a chance!:smokin:

For those of us with high blood pressure and advised by our doctors to reduce sodium, yeah - I would say it's my enemy. Doesn't mean it's your enemy, but then I am not big on using broad brushes on such matters.

Um, logic in the forums? Really? Please don't do that again.

Sigh. I was going to say Cougar, but I have to agree with the Purple and Gold. GEAUX TIGERS!!

But then what would I have to talk about at the water cooler when the topic of the coolest, newest fad diet comes up? You are trying to make me an outcast!!:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

But the fad diets are so much more fun!!

If I don't have a substantial breakfast each morning, I will hurt people. I wake up hungry. But that's me.

Two and a half years ago, I started waking at 4:30 so I could work out. It was the only way to fit in my schedule. Before that, it was no uncommon for me to go not bed after 2 in the morning. After a month or so of struggling, I adapted. Now, I am usually up by 6 with no alarm. Also - think about the prize. It sounds like…

Dirty as dirt.

I've learned way more from MFP and the suggested links and research from certain users and focus than I ever did through trainers. Just to clarify, when I told my current trainer that I use MFP for my calories, his response was perfect. He basically said, Good enough. And he never brought it up again.

Meh. Eat like a rabbit. I do and I lost 40 pounds.:glasses: But I weigh my food, I use a heart rate monitor for my calories burned and I watch my macros (protein, fat, carbs). I'm not a fan of the phrase "eating clean". But I have found myself leaning to more organic meats and vegetables. And I have really started to like…

Indeed!

Go Spurs. AKA anyone but the Heat.

Definitely.

Used to be 95-100. I am in late 40s with medication-controlled blood pressure and a useless thyroid (take medication for this, too). Cardio for the last two years, with some weight lifting, has it down to resting of about 70. I've talked with my doc a lot about this. He has had me taking annual EKGs since I was 40. He's…

Ask 10 people and get 10 answers. Best answer yet. So,here is probably another one that is different. I don't look at the predictions because my calories needs are based on a BMR test I take at my gym every six months. I set my calorie goal and work to that. Because of the way I set my goals, I will never lose as fast as…

I am 49 and was diagnosed almost exactly the same at about 29. And very similar fact patterns. Here is my sincerest, heart felt advice to you - Check with your doctor on weight lifting. Mine took two years to clear me. This is serious stuff. You are asking great questions, but in the wrong place. Take these questions and…

I'm pretty sure she knows who she is.

You have keen insight.
