Hmm. I'm on a fitness kick this month. I will run 2.5 km for a warm-up and then bike 15 to 20 km at a decent pace. My BMI is 29 all my HR monitor ( chest strap polar ft7 and my Tom Tom runner wrist) both seem to agree I burn about 800 to 1000 calories. My MFP goal is about 1700, I routinely eat under that cause I'm bad…

Just got back into cycling after ...we'll probably since I was a teenager. Was a way to spend time with my dad at first, but now I look forward to my 15k ride. Feel free to add me :)

PCOS is thought to be a problem with insulin resistance. So I would overall aim for a lower carb diet - note that I'm not saying a paleo, or a keto diet - just one where you don't pile on the carbs. If your doctor hasn't already, I would do a diabetes screen (an hba1c level) However, quite a few of my patients have PCOS…

In Canada, its the standard way to order your coffee. A double double is two cream and two sugar :)

If its been 20 days and you have only had 1 small movement, its time to do something drastic before you become impacted or cause your large bowel any damage. I recommend an over the counter that contains an osmotic laxative - something like Miralax or something that contains glycerin (usually a suppository), sorbitol,…

Try something HIGH in fiber. Think whole grain pasta (one serving is like 32% of your RDA) or maybe a glass of Metamucil. Usually stops my hunger pangs for a good while

You'd be surprised how much jeans stretch when you wear them everyday. I cycle between 2 pairs of jeans (Levi's if anyone is interested lol) and they are a size 32. I didn't realize how much weight I had put on till I went to get a new pair, and not only were the 32's impossible, the 34's were a bit too snug as well ... I…

I know everyone else is advocating you try it, but I suggest you start with p90 (minus the X) It got me started and if you're feeling fed up and frustrated with P90X, then its not worth it. There are two levels in P90, so you can work your way up to the second level in about 45 days, or if you feel that you can start out…

This is driving me crazy - where do I recognize her from ... Stargate ??

Yep - this is def a huge road block for me. I've gone from 2-3 a day to 2-3 a week. But I'm dreading stopping completely :(

Short answer: Yes :) Long answer Apart from the very high calorie / low nutrition value to alcohol, there is another metabolic reason why it may hinder your weight loss goals .. When you drink alcohol - any amount really - It diffuses through your stomach and intestines into your blood and goes to the liver. Once there, an…

Ghrelin does regulate hunger - along with a lot of other things. It is produced in the stomach and basically acts as a appetite stimulant. The main counter regulatory hormone for this is leptin, produced in the adipose tissue that acts as an appetite suppresant. Leptin is thought to be linked to obesity - Obese individuals…

O.O out of curiosity, did you watch mulgrew before voyager or did you first see her during ?

Epic :) Netflix just got another customer :D

Grilled zucchini + salt and pepper = awesomeness :D

Oh, and another fun fact to encourage your awesome weigh loss goals sherry. Studies have shown that in people with arthritis, a weight loss of one pound equals a four pound pressure reduction on the knees.. :) so good for you. !

Whats the point of drinking then ?! lol I'd like to try Romulan ale for sure ! And anything that Quark mixes up for me would be fine ! Just keep me away from Neelix and Leola root ! :D

Are Voy and DS9 on Netflix ? That may swing my decision making process :)

In my opinion, that's a skewed statistic because of the difference in fertility rates: The risk for Downs is 1:1500 between 20-24, 1 in 200 between 35-39 and above 45 is 1 in 20 Its just that women between 20 and 25 have most of the babies and hence you see Downs, even though there is a magnitude lower risk for it. That's…

:( This is why we have an hour of stats every week in class :( and its true. I would say the majority of the class doesn't know / care to know However, re the BMI, it really is frustrating the number of people with Molson Muscles who come into clinic and tell you that "all that BMI stuff is bull****"

Hmmm - just wrote my endocrine exam so hopefully I haven't forgot all of it ... yet Cortisol is basically a stress hormone - Think about basic fight or flight - you need energy NOW to get your muscles working, either to run or to fight. To that end, cortisol is going to increase your blood sugar level any way it can - it…

Another reason people with arthritis experience relief with some sort of exercise is because the tissue in your knee joint receives nutrition not from your blood supply like the majority of tissue in your body, but actually from the joint fluid, which does not really move around much. Exercise / movement helps circulate…

Esp Repro - next block on the list :)

Haha - We just finished our Endocrinology block and while the basic principals seem easy, the fact that if you try to draw out an interaction diagram, all you see are lines going everywhere is one reason I am NOT going to be an endocrinologist. Maybe Cardio :)

Yes - A Voyager fan :) Janeway rocks :D As for tattoos - my reward for whenever I hit my goal weight is to go out and get myself on of these :D http://www.geekytattoos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/star-trek-insignia.png

@ Lori - no idea. I'm not a huge fan of horror either Enterprise was probably the one ST show I wish they hadn't made :) I've actually been thinking of the Computer and Siri ever since it came out. Too bad they couldn't use Majel Roddenberry's voice :)

Dr Who - hmmm I can't say I'm a huge fan, except of the current Matt Smith-River Song storyline, which is brilliant Babylon 5 I only vaguely remember :(
