Getting walk/gait professionally tested would be a good thing to do, to analyze your foot strike, stance, walk, gait, etc. People have different foot issues and have differing needs. Do not work through the pain, the pain is telling you something is wrong. You could cause yourself stress fractures, go get tested and fitted…

From what I have seen on MFP regarding skin's "elastic" properties, factors that affect whether or not a person has loose skin after weight loss are. 1. Age - teens and 20s skin is more elastic, over 35 less so. 2. Amount of Weight Loss - percentage of weight loss, higher percentage, more loose skin. 3. Rapidity of Weight…

Reserve veggie mix in bowl. Mix…

White rice is a high glycemic index food, it will spike your blood sugar. 1.5 cups of rice is 3 carb servings (approx 60+ gm of carbs). Better to eat smaller quantities of brown rice ie half cup max. The fiber/bran in brown rice slows digestion/release of glucose.

I am not a sleazy ex (or current) druggie. I do not smoke. I am a US women's size 10 (sometimes 8). I drink coffee or water at work, I haven't had a soda, diet or otherwise in years. I rarely drink, I never get drunk, it's unhealthy for you and unbecoming. I don't eat fast food. I eat a salad I've prepared from home for my…

I can't speak for all the nurses in the world, but where I work very few nurses are obese or smoke. Most of the nurses and doctors I work with work out religiously, several do marathons/mini triathalons. Everyone I work with watches their weight tries to eat healthy. It's a challenging job, but one that we enjoy or we…

Definitely Bugs Bunny/Warner Bros Looney Tunes, so many favorite episodes. 1. Halloween - Bugs visits Dracula's castle, Bugs with one word, transforms Dracula into a bat at inopportune times 2. Baby Penguin - Bugs takes him back home, ends up in a cooking pot in Africa, then makes his way to North Pole (oops) 3. Der Ring…

My theory is next episode, Gomez and Hank die, Jesse and Walter (of course) survive. Why? Jesse is the Prodigal Son/Hero, Walt of course bc he is the central character. Uncle Jack's Gang WANT to kill Jesse bc of Walt's deal with them, Walt changes his mind, says he does NOT want Jesse dead, convinces Uncle Jack's Gang to…

Add a half cup to one cup of fresh fruit chopped to each serving of plain Fage yogurt. I use the 0% fat version, I need to control cholesterol, to me it tastes rich and creamy, every other non fat version of yogurt tastes thin and or chalky. I love it with blueberries.

Steak and Salad and Side are the perfect "Restaurant Meal". Don't be afraid to be "high maintenance" at a restaurant. If any restaurant balks at your requests, that's a sign that they don't care about customer service and do not deserve your business in the future. Ask for a house salad with the steak, salad dressing on…

I eat homemade food for every meal. Its a lot cheaper than buying readymade convenience foods, way tastier and you know what you are consuming. Breakfast is usually a veggie omelet w a fruit on the side, w coffee. :drinker: Lunch is usually a salad or last evenings leftovers if any were left. Dinner is made from scratch.…

Find a workout buddy or two ! Talk a friend into trying out a class or going to a gym with you. It will make exercise more enjoyable. My daughter talked me into going to Zumba with her last August. Once she left for college again, I kept going to Zumba, made a few friends in class who I enjoy seeing there.

I have the following in my house at pretty much all times. Veg/fruits may vary depending on season.

I've taken steroids short term in the past for bad allergic reactions, bronchitis. You will get an incredible burst of energy and feeling very good (love that part of steroids). Use this to your advantage and work out. You might or might not get hungrier, I cannot remember feeling hungrier than usual, but other people have…

He has always loved and accepted me for who I am, has never tried to change me. He never has an unkind thing to say about anyone, he never swears (I swear a blue streak). He always looks for the good in everyone, he has the kindest, purest heart of anyone I know. He has always been an incredible father and husband. He has…

Got a Kamenstein scale from CostCo this Saturday, it was $15, digital, can measure in both metric and ounces, weight limit is 11 lbs and runs on 1 9V battery which came with the scale. Loving it so far!

A WW group leader told us as well to rinse cooked ground beef, however, I do not do this ever. It removes ANY beef taste from your food, totally not worth it. Just drain the fat away.

I think there are common stages of weight loss we all go through. The amount of weight lost may vary from person to person, but each phase is characterized by friends/family's reactions: 1. INITIATION - 10% (mine) You have lost weight but no one notices, no one comments. Your clothes are somewhat looser. You pout, you have…

To see if the dress has seams that can be let out, turn the dress inside out and look at the seams at the sides. Most woven clothing pieces have half-inch to one inch seam allowances on both sides (it looks like a long flap on either side of the sewing), unless the seams are "French seams", sewn inside out and folded in…

I read primarily non-fiction. Just read - "After Visiting Friends" - by Michael Hainey - GQ editor investigates the mysterious circumstances behind his father's death in 1970 (the author was 6 at that time). Very touching, moving story. "Steve Jobs" - by Walter Isaacson - read it the day it came out, Oct 24, 2012 -…

In reply to cupcake: I have read Lustig's book "Fat Chance" cover to cover a couple of times. These are the main points of the book: 1. Exercise increases muscle, increased muscle mass helps you lose weight and keep the weight off. 2. Most people benefit from a diet high in vegetables and fruits, some proteins, dairy and…
