Thanks- I looked it up and no results????? It's not showing!

Well at least he was just another citizen over-populating our jails for NON_VIOLENT offenses. At least he wasn't someone who was convicted of a violent crime that had escaped- those criminals don't get to go out and 'work in "chain gangs"'.... The ones in "chain gangs" are all non-violent offenders- ie Drugs/paper crime…

I was pushing a stroller today on our brisk paced walk with my 30lb niece in it. When my daughter goes (24lbs) or i push a niece or nephew in a stroller while we walk on the trail- does it count for 'extra'???? I mean it's basically 'pushing a weight' in front of you as you walk?! So how do I figure in how much more for…

So I started exercising again yesterday and did again today. Why when I'm exercising do I get really gassy?????? Is it just making things 'move' in there? Is it because the exercise is effecting my digestion/digestive system?

I walked at a brisk pace for 40 minutes today. How do I know if I walked 2.5mph or 3mph or 4mph???? I dont know how far I walked- I just know I walked for a good 40 minutes at a brisk pace-- (i was breathing heavy and pushing myself to keep my pace.) Anyways-- how do I know for today? We walked on a trail and from where we…

oh awesome. Everyone had ice cream after dinner tonight and I was a little bummed!!!!!! Seeing as I still have a ton of carbs left and fat and everything else- i think I know a good way to use up 500 calories with some ice cream! haha

If I exercise and it 'gives me more calories' for the day- am I still supposed to use them? Should I be trying to eat as close to daily calorie allotment as possible without going over every day? Or am I wrong? Had 200 calories left for the day- and got 300 and some back for my walk tonight- so now i have 500. Should I go…

OHHH that's a GREAT idea- you could even 'tone it down' and do something after every 3 or 5 papers! On top of the exercise- it will be a nice 'head clearing' break between every-so- many of the paper! You won't want to pull your hair out by essay number 42

As if the feeling I get after exercising isn't awesome enough-- when i logged onto MFP- i found out that my 40 minute- brisk walk with the family earlier tonight- gave me 300+ calories back!!!!!!! I thought i might be like 100? So now i've still got 500 calories to do something with! haha YAY! Sorry- today is the first day…

it is due today =) By 11:59pm. I've got all of my journals and sources etc-- just cant think of what angles i can go at for my hypothesis

Changed my research paper to marriage and gender roles. I need help with my Hypothesis? We need 5 hypothesis statements. My topic is Marriage and Gender Roles. The thesis statements need to be like this: Individuals who are ___________ are more likely to be __________ than individuals who are not ___________. All of our…

trying this again but asking my question another way. A social problem would be health. And since it's relavent to my life- why not use it for my research paper. So-- what I need from you- are some "statements about health". Ex: -Obesity is genetic. -As long as you are your ideal body weight you are healthy. etc etc...

THANK YOU!!!! This site is addicting- i should be writing my paper and studying- but NOOO i'm writing messages on the forums on MFP! haha

I KNOW!!! I figured that out yesterday. I ate soooo well for breakfast and lunch and a snack. It was 8pm and I wasn't even hungry yet for dinner. I still had 800 calories left and was trying to figure out how I could make something to use up my 800 calories- yet not be a ton of foods because i wasn't hungry. So dh made a…

I agree! It's also like quitting smoking. Your mind THINKS you need a cigarette... you mind THINKS that the cigarette made you feel better once you've smoked it. It's all "mind games". You don't actually feel better- you feel worse- but your mind has you convinced it relieved your stress. (when actually smoking rasises…

Thanks for the advice! You're right- why do I assume I have to get on track tomorrow? WHy not go exercise later and get on track TODAY!!!!!!! See this is why i LOVE this site- you all are helping me to actually change my way of thinking!!!!!

Thanks- my daughter (who is 8) asked me last night if tonight after dinner we could go for a walk down the bike trail. (we usually do a 3 or 5 mile walk).. so Hopefully that will burn SOME calories =) thanks for the advice!

hehe nobody wants to offer any suggestions... I figured =)

I am sorry if I came off that I was judging this girl! It didn't even cross my mind- I just thought she looked really good already- or at least in the picture. I have pictures I could post that make me look like I don't need to loose a single lb.. So I wasn't implying I thought she shouldn't be here! For some reason it…

:embarassed: :sick: :embarassed: :sick: :frown: Last week i went over on calories but still managed to lose 3lbs. THis week is going to be different= excpet that today my emotional eating kicked in hard core and I didnt even "think about it"... .Well it's exams at school- and my 10 page research paper is due in a few hours…

Do you ever wonder if you're encouraging someone to lose weight- when in reality you shouldn't be encouraging them? Maybe it's just me and my anxiety/paranoia/ocd/trust issues/whatever but tonight I was looking at a profile of someone who recently joined the site. Their picture would lead me to believe they have NO weight…

I know... I know.. it's very very last minute-- tomorrow I have a 10 page research paper due for my sociology class. Well, I haven't even picked a topic yet! It basically can be any topic that would be covered in a Sociology Journal. Anyone have any ideas? Also our papers need to have 5 different Hypothesis that we state…

Well just because someone is a Doctor does not mean they know all. That's like saying the US goverment really cares about us. Just because something is approved by the FDA doesn't mean it's safe.. just because something isn't approved by the FDA does not mean it isn't safe! I think the most important thing a person can do…

I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE!

Oh I KNOW!!!!! In my family (ie my mom and sisters and bro etc) we always joke because we've noticed a trend that we always have food! We can't just have the family over to swim- it's always got to revolve around dinner or something- which is fine. Except a lot of times we find "silly" reasons to "celebrate" and end up…

Thank you so much for your replies!!!! You all gave EXCELLENT suggestions and at the same time were supportive! (I asked this question on Yahoo Answers once and all I got were replies along the lines of, "OMG YOU NEED TO MOVE NOW FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUR CHILDREN!!!" I was like are you kidding me? Anyways though- thanks…

Thank you everyone for the EXCELLENT INFORMATION!!!! I'm going to go make my grocery list now!

The salt water is horrible- I agree. We usually skip the salt water (hehe). Anyways though- you can adjust the amount of syrup and cyan pepper to your taste!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you don't like the pepper in the drink- you can buy cyanne pepper 'pills' at the health food store- just take those instead!!!! We bought disolving…

Made lunch today- and I did really well on calories for breakfeast (measured out my cereal, milk and fruit even).. thought I would make a chicken salad sandwich. I knew it would be a lot of calories.. but not over 700!!!!!!!!!!! I even used whole grain bread and measured out the mayo - but alas.. it used up like half of my…

Growing up my mother was always big into nurtirion/ healthy food etc. (i am the only one in the family of 6 with a weight problem..) Anyways though- we were always told/taught by her that you shouldn't get the "fat free" and "reduced" versions of foods because the other things they added instead are just as bad for you or…
