Well put! One person's reaction (if I may call it that) is definitely not enough to base a sweeping judgment. So, is there some direction or links you can offer me to find positive studies or findings that might change my opinion?
-
I base my general opinions (Humble as I stated) from several discussions with Nutritionists, health care workers, and doctors that I know or see. Here is an in-depth look at a Documentary titled "Sweet Misery" https://youtu.be/ZI7_8FDzuJE I also saw a family member stumble around as if having suffered a stroke for a few…

I'd encourage EVERYONE to drop soda altogether. It leeches Calcium out of your bones, and there has never been an additive so actively investigated as Nutra-sweet (and it's derivatives) since the inception of the FDA. IMHO, diet pop is a Chemical poop storm...

Nope, I try to stay off of the couch in front of a TV. (Makes me want to put something in my pie-hole) I just come here to the threads for motivation instead

I usually stir in some protein powder to my yogurt & Granola, and that seems to "stick to my ribs" for some time.

Well, my two cents would be to add, or at least try to maintain a variety of activities so you don't get burned out on a single routine.. Most people already mentioned most of the activities I like to do, but I might add Kayaking/Canoeing. Oh, and if you try golf and walk the course, you're going to get a good beat down…

4-8 Band director here... I was beginning to think we teachers only have 6-8 weeks a year to get our "stuff" together. Last year I gained back 16 lbs "working" through lunches sitting at my computer... I've been logging on everyday busting my hump to get it in check! I've even made excuses to get moving several times a…

Sadly, they are 100% correct... I'm down to 178, work out a couple of different ways weekly, and still have love handles, albeit smaller, but there they are. It's all in the Genes... :)

Here's one in my regular rotation, Oikos Yogurt cup (any flavor), 1/3 scoop Protein powder (keeps me full longer), and Kashi Go Lean Crunch stirred in for crunch... It's my go to breakfast... good numbers when added up...

Well, I’ve lost 40 pounds. I started before I found MFP, so my ticker doesn’t reflect the real stats. There are numerous benefits I’ve noticed. Many, are just on the inside, in my head. First, I feel like I’m 25 again! I’ve come to realize I’m not happy with myself if more than a day goes by and I haven’t made time for…

Sorry, I don't cut my own, however I just wanted to caution you (and everyone out there) about cheap deli meats. I hate to see a fellow MyFitPal user pickle themselves with Nitrates and yuck. Have you tried Boars head brand deli goods? That stuff is about the safest route you can take with deli foods and still give…

Well, First off, I'm sorry that happened to you. In the moment, I'd be pretty P.O.'d too. Until I sat down and thought about his pathetic existence. I mean who the heck is this Jag who feels better about himself by putting others down?! Without ever meeting him, I can tell you that he is nothing more than dirt beneath your…

Grayslake reporting here! I'm itching to get the new bike downtown on the lakefront path.

I feel your pain, I also do a Hydro-fit class twice a week at my Golds gym. I feel as though I'm burning a heck of a lot more calories than what the water aerobics gives me. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a dependable HRM that is fully submersible? I am aware of the timex one, but the reviews are highly…

Ha, this is great! I'm a band director of Middle schoolers, they're gonna love this. I can't wait to put this up on the screen tomorrow morning. Thanks for putting this up. Incidentally, the Heavy Metal name generator is quite funny too. Old Harp Washington

Way to go brother! Now that's taking charge of your life! Congrats.

I was just looking up HRM's today and came across this article on Livestrong.com I was googling using "best heart rate monitor with calories burned" and I was more interested in a wrist model and calories burned feature. Consumer reports also picked this as their number one according to the article. They picked a cheap…

Well, Here in the States, it's National Margarita Day... Jus Sayin' http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/

Hang in there Brother! Just stay on that path you've started for yourself. I look forward to the day when we see your Goal weight pics.

True, Both can be devastating in the Calories, & Sodium dept. Stick to making your own, and you can have a great deal of control over both areas. I like Chef John from Fooodwishes.com He uses real ingredients, all though he's not really concerned with fit fare like many of us on these boards are. All in all, I'll take real…

I just sold my treadmill this weekend. The guy who bought it found guys on Craigslist who move fitness equipment for a second job to disassemble it at my house, and take it to his. They were fast and friendly. It was basically three things. Unscrew covers over the legs and pull up on handle bars, un-clip the wires at the…

Well this isn't a nice sit down meal, but in a pinch for time it's a safe bet. Wendy's has the Ultimate grill chicken sandwich which comes in around 10 g of fat, 10 gs of sugar, and protein in the 34-36g range in a 400 calorie practically naked sandwich just brushed with a hint of honey mustard. I stop and get one after…

From one Dave To another.... Google "Sweet Misery" and watch it. If you buy into what they are saying, and I do because of the effects I've seen on two members of my family, You may never let another artificial sweetener enter your system. It's really the worst thing you could put into your body IMHO. Water, moderate…

I had a beautiful little girl with Cerebral Palsy who only lived to be 9 1/2 years old. I would always sing “Golden Slumber” to her on nights when she was up having trouble breathing through the winter months. I always felt like Paul was encouraging me through the hardest times when he sang about “Carrying that weight”.…
