If you truely do not owe this money, do not pay it! There are collection laws. Offices, and bill collectors have a very strict set of rules that they must abide by - they are forbidden under state and federal collection statutes from harassing you. Google: Federal Debt Collection Practices Act - in addition, there are…

First off - Dr. Oz is a snake oil salesman - he will say anything, or get anyone on his show to make a buck. Anything he says should be taken as quackery. Secondly, while there is a small kernel of truth in the statement "People who count calories tend to gain back their weight." That can be said of any diet - Atkins,…

I live in Beervana ( Portland, OR). I am a homebrewer, and Portland has over 50 craft breweries and many hundreds of brewpubs! Give up good beer - no way! I can't even type C**$s L#gh# or B@* Wiz#$%@ . Just budget for the calories you are going to consume from beer in your weekly calorie intake. If I know i am going out, I…

While interesting, as a former researcher, the study appears to be set-up to give these results... First off, only 8 subjects were used - not a big sample, although their definaition of athlete looks ok. Secondly, they used only minimal data points - why not include in the study alcohol only or Carbs only, rather that…

Lots of great info on lifting and or body weight workouts. People will advocate for both - really it is what works for you. www.nerdfitness.com - Really good bodyweight workout ideas - although they can get a little routine. I like to do this rotation and add in additional core work.…

He must have slipped up - 99% of what he says is pure garbage. He is snake oil salesman and no-one should ever believe a word he says. and...sigh.. the "starvation myth" again... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1084912-good-starvation-mode-article…

Same boat as you - If I do not workout early I don't have time. Up at 4:40 M-F - at the gym when it opens at 5. That way I am home before the kidos wake-up. Try to be in bed by 10, although it doesn't always work out. Big key #1 - keep at it - the first few weeks are tough, but after that, your body adjusts. After 8…

Oh ye of little faith...... "xxxxxxxx D.C., A.C.N. is a Chiropractor and Applied Clinical Nutritionist who specializes in weight loss through nutrition and other natural methods" There are also lots of testimonials on his site so he must know what he's doing. [/quote] HAHAHAA - once again OP either this was a great troll…

I worked with GI docs for over 15 years who specialized in liver diseases. DO NOT do a liver cleanse - all it will do is cleanse some money out of your wallet, and could potentially harm you. Your liver and kidneys function as your bodies cleansing mechanism, and do quite nicely when left alone. The only time fatty…

Nedfitness.com - good site - I use their progression, but add a lot of other exercise - especially for core, and pushups - diamond pushups, shuffle pushups, etc., to add length and variety to the routine. Here is a good infograph on some exercises - you can youtube the individual ones to get good form examples:…

No. I see myself as overweight and not in the shape I want to be. I have already passed my original goal (I lost 20 lbs before I started on MFP) of 65 lbs, and my secondary goal of 80 lbs. I am now on my way (weigh?) to my third (and final?) goal of 116 lbs - which would be 1/3 of my starting body weight. Mainly I realize…

Anythign with the words "Dr. Oz" should be avoided at all costs

Having been there done that... my starting weight was similar to yours - my stomach measured in at 55". Don't do sit-ups - waste (or waist) of time - you will not see significant results that you want, and you will more than like hurt your back and/or be frustrated that you cannot do them (like I said - been there, done…

Definately noticable - great job! No offense, but you look like a "big guy" - meaning tall and you carry your weight well so the change can be less noticable to people around you every day. I went through the same thing - people who were around me every day really did not say anything until I had lost about 45 lbs, and…

200 calories makes a big difference if you look at it long term... 200 calories/day x 365 days per year =73000 calories per year. 73000 calories divided by 3500 calories per pound = 20.85 lbs per year. So theoretically, all other hitngs being constant, if you consumed 200 less calories a day, you would lose 20.85 lbs/year.…

Totally agree! IIFYM - I plan for 5-10 oz of wine per night - red for me - and sparkling is great too. My doctor said "no problem" - especially for red wine - actually can be benficial, if you don't over do it. And yes, as you can see from the profile pic, I still enjoy the occasional beer, although I drink about 1/10 of…

"The sad part about this (great) post is that there will still be users who "don't get it" Because you can't possible eat what you stated and reach your goals" You read my mind - I was thinking the same thing... but then I thought again (isn't the mind a wondeful thing), and realized I was basing that off of MY goals and…

The Ref "What is the matter with you? I thought Mothers were sweet and nice a-a-and Patient. I know loan sharks who are more forgiving than you. Your husband ain't dead, lady. He's hiding."

Since I work for Orthopedic surgeons... If you are happy with the office, the way the surgery came out, etc. Say thanks! that is what they want to hear most of all. If your hip is totally screwy and he/she does an amazing job, bring the office some cookies or fruit, or bring the doc a bottle of wine, but that is really…

As many have said Quinoa is very versitile and tastes great - I make salads with it - ver y nutritious and filling. Also, you should check-out Quinoa Pasta - it has about the same calories as regular or whole-wheat pasta, and cooks up the same, but is much heartier and has a lot more nutrients per serving.

...and I don't know where to find it! Do you think Mary could help?

A) wear Superfeet insoles (or orthotics), for any activities that could cause pain, like jumping jacks. Above - great idea. B) wear little to no arch support for any activities that do no cause pain.. perhaps standing or walking. This is because arch supports weaken your arch, which in turn causes PF. The long-term goal…
