Pro choice. Personnally, I weigh the risks against each other. Yes for the major childhood ones, no for the "modern" teenager ones... (the one for girls against uturus cancer, and I think there is now one recommended for 1type of meningitis). I asked their opinion, the one opted to get it; fine. The other not; fine too.…

Here's my secret I stay well under my calories every single week day and do not eat back my exercised calories on those days. I drink exercise calories back over the weekend when I cook with wine - sometimes I even put it in the food :-D We cook elaborately at least one evening every weekend. Those calories I have "saved"…

I actually work out so I can drink (wine, champagne, mojito's) - that's how I "eat back" my calories...:blushing:

See a doctor. We're not medical professionals here...

Yes, it's my favorite as well. I like mixing in a banana, coconut water and some fat free plain greek yoghurt to make it less sweet. BTW, it comes in chocolate taste too, but I haven't tried that one (yet). But I'm not Vegan obviously.

The thyroid endocrine system is designed to alter metabolism naturally. It varies with temperature after long-term exposure. People who live in a cold climate have a higher basal metabolic rate so to generate for off-setting heat to warm their bodies. The opposite for those dwelling in a warm climate. [/quote] So that's…

Shy away from heels? NEVER! At 6 ft I get noticed anyway, may as well look my best!

I use Harmonized Vegan Protein Vanilla (from Progressive). The only I like the taste of and that doesn't clog me up.

A postal scale can be cheaper and works just as well... check Staples or other office supply store. I paid 19.99 for mine about a year ago though.

<See my picture :-D

Switch brands or stop for a while to see if that is indeed the issue. A couple days without won't do you harm.

how often and how long?

Thanks Hon, I'm 47... you made my day!

If they fail, it's easier to blame it on a program than to take the responsibility themselves. Yes, they lose weight now and if they keep up their lifestyle changes, they will keep losing. But if they go back to "normal" the pounds will fly back on and then some. Oh, well, that program didn't work... Stick with your own…

A metric pound is 500 grams, here in North America a pound is 454 grams... to add to the confusion.

Canadian bacon? I had to google it and then found this: http://www.realcanadianbacon.com/pork-tenderloin/press/The_real_deal_Authentic_Canadian_bacon_isn't_what_most_Americans_think_it_is.htm

Eating until you are full is not necessary. In fact, it may be healthier to eat more often during the day and don't go over 80% sateity - a common practice in Japan. Why would you want to be stuffed after a meal? That will only lead to feeling you "need" more food. Just stick to the calories allowed and if you're not…

period coming up?

By not full do you mean you are still hungry or hungry again after an hour?

http://simplesciencefitness.com/ will explain it all.

Vitamin C (oranges, kiwi's), Echinecea (shot glass careful, it's got alcohol in it and tastes aweful).

6 ft here and 145 lbs. Pant size 6 or 8 (Canada). Jeans size 27-29 depending on rise.

By far the best way to lose fat for me is strength training (weights mainly), some cardio for fun and a slight caloric deficit. Eat your protein. I used to have the same problem. You need to build muscle. With just cardio, you may lose weight, but it will likely be muscle instead of fat.

I get up at 6.30, have a juice (orange or homemade fruit/veggie) with a kiwi, my vitamins/supplements and a cup of tea. I bring a coffee with 2% milk and go to work. Once there, I drink my coffee, then at around 9 have the rest of my breakfast, either greek yoghurt with misc. fibers added or a slice of home baked bread…

I was tested deficient in some areas, so now take: PreMenopause Womens Multi Vit & Min (Progressive) D3 (winter only) B complex (I like my wine) Magnesium Calcium & Magnesium Iron (Floradix liquid) Align Pro Biotic (Finally lost most of the bloating) Vit C (I am prone to bladder infections, so at least 1000 mg a day)

Tip? I empty the package in a strainer so most of the sugar is out.

In the oven with halved cherry tomatoes, green onion, crumbled feta, preboiled baby potatoes (halved) and a little olive oil or butter. Salt & Pepper to taste. Oven at 325 F or 180 C, about 30 min. Yum!

This is what worked for me. Try to find out if this happens at the same time each day. If so, why would that be (bored, stress, etc.). Then make sure it's not in the house. Then when you get the craving you will be aware there isn't any and you can train yourself to ask: Do I really need this at this time? Then drink some…
