For me doing a LOT of exercise daily. I walk up hills daily and it is hard. It took a long time to get my time down too, I've been walking up hills since October 2012 & couldn't go very far at first, now I get to the top and my time has gone down considerably and my walk speed has increased a lot. I went from under 1 mile…

Really interesting pix Taunto. I have been to a lot of European countries, the French are skinny, the Italians are skinny (but are not sizists, all sizes are acceptable & the south of Italy is bigger - just in general), the UK eats a lot of sweets and seems to have a chocolate addiction but many are still thin, although a…

I eat quite a bit and what I've found is hill walking for 2 hours a day burns about 1000 cals, so yeah, I eat fats, food, everything now. Bonus now is that there is weight loss and I get to eat!

I'm married to a Brit and I've picked up the following - GAR-aj for garage, vit-a-mins for vi-ta-mins, and I say vits (Brit way) a lot. We live in the USA outside of SF in a 2 story house. I did not want a 2 story house as I grew up in a mid-century 1 story ranch type but he insisted & all the newer homes in the USA are 2…

I think what you object to is that your sister is just an exotic object to this man. This man is using black women as "the other" and exoticizing them which is another form of racism. He's not treating her as a person, but as a thing, an other, someone who fits into his attractive paradigm only because of being "the other"…

Hi I don't have diabetes, but I have severe hypoglycemia, which to me is almost the same as pre-diabetes. I've been reading a lot about the Glycemic Index and trying to follow it, and posting about it on my profile page. I'm always looking for new friends, please send me a friend request!

Really nice. I need to get serenity today. I'm all over the place.

I just made the Bittman-Lehay No Knead Bread. Don't look at this this low carbers! Don't look!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Ah9ES2yTU The crumb (holes) were HUGE!! Love this bread so much, and we ate it with French soft cheese...

Amazing!

It sounds great but read this first http://francistapon.com/Travels/Spain-Trails/10-Reasons-Why-El-Camino-Santiago-Sucks And the heat, omg, that would really be awful. OTOH, it doesn't seem that hard to do as far as walks go because you are never far from food. OTOH you are walking on pavement almost the entire way…

Hi, IDK if I can be totally accountable but I'll send you a friend request! :)

I have a definite dodgy tummy. I would advise you to do something else that is much more low impact like walking. Walking can work off 300 cals an hour or more if you walk fast, then work up to hill walking. Hope this helps! x

I'm not sure why but people who were on WW usually don't log them. It's "free points" I think on WW, so that is why. But, here's the thing, when you eat, say 5 satsumas that is 180 cals, and in the summer, say watermelon, it's a lot of cals too. Veggies are another thing - they can be low in cals. Still I log it or try to.…

You're a man. Men get to eat 1800 a day MINIMUM! So up your exercise and eat more! Yes I'm jealous. Girls get 1200 a day MINIMUM. Enjoy your extra cals --- DUDE!

Please get a 2nd opinion. True story, my great Aunt was told by her DOCTOR several decades ago to douche with LYSOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently it was SOP for doctors to do that once upon a tiime!…

I believe there are a few brands of wrist only HRM's - no chest strap. Epulse2 - I have these, love them lots. Scosche - my husband uses this with myrun or something like that (chest-strap-free) & loves it. Omarion ? - no experience, doesn't get good reviews on amazon Timex - there's been a few issues with it on amazon Mio…

My DH & I don't like veggies much either. Here's some of my solutions: 1. Indian food. There are so many wonderful recipes out there for Indian food which contain veggies. Now each person is different, for instance, my dh HATES okra & won't even eat it in Indian Food, & I'm no fan but I love it in Indian food. Indian food…

OP, my MIL never drank milk but she is Swedish. She is BENT OVER from Osteoporosis & is hospitalized permanently. I lived in SF for many years and there's a large Asian community. Many Asians do not drink milk/have dairy. Check out how many elderly men & women are literally bent over in any Chinatown Anywhere. Every…

I lost 40 in 2010, here I am in 2013 and I'm just 22 pounds down......please add me too, anyone on this thread.

I have an epulse2 but it does not go to MFP, maybe the next version will. It is awesome and just on your forearm, just like Scosche. With the Scosche, it's v similar to the epulse2 but there are programs that can send it directly to mfp/your phone. Again both have no chest strap like the polar, garmin, etc. I am not into…

Men are lucky like that, they get 1800 as their bottom line. Us girls? 1200 lol. But if you're working out or doing a lot of chores, walking, or working like this guy I'm sure it's much higher. For instance for me, when I was not working out as much but under 1300 I was miserable, but now I do anywhere between 500-1000…

Thankfully you're eating more than just 800 cals! It was 935 cals. I imagine your work must be very physical, right? You could buy a HRM and find out how many cals you're burning - you can wear either a HRM armband like the epulse2 or the Scosche & dl a good program to actually track your cals. What is important is to plan…

Can you open your diary so people can see what you're eating? Yes that is awfully low for a male or anyone.

Just in case you didn't understand what every person on this thread is saying to you "an·o·rex·i·a /ˌanəˈreksēə/ Noun A lack or loss of appetite for food (as a medical condition). An emotional disorder characterized by an obsessive desire to lose weight by refusing to eat." "Health Risks of Anorexia: An Overview The most…

Here's my take on it. I was originally at 1400 cals but only recently lowered it to 1200. The reason is that I was doing 900 a day walking hills. I would wind up eating 1600-1800 a day. So I just lowered it to 1200 and still eat around the same amt about 1500-1800 a day, depending on how many cals I burn. I would say…

Hi, IDK where you're living but if you walk on hills it's like a HUGE calorie burn. You have to start on flat surfaces and work up to it, say a week or two of several miles of straight walking. It is amazing what those hills do for you! GL!

Hi I've been here since Jan 2010 and I just added you. I am in OA, and at one point I had lost 40 lbs on here but as you can see from my current ticker that much of that came back plus I never got to where I wanted to go on my journey with weight loss. I think I did not do well in 2012 but feel I am back to losing weight.…

epulse 2 &/or the scosche - neither requires a chest strap.
