Americanpregnancy.org advertises a book called The Essential Guide to Getting Pregnant. It is 40 pages and under $10. I have not read it, as I am currently pregnant, but noticed it when on the site the other day. It is written by a doctor and apparently "outlines a new approach to getting pregnant using the latest research…

Which is why it is posted under chit-chat, fun, and games. Geesh lighten up!

Sure. You're just using a different muscle group. I do it both ways to ensure toning all around my legs. :)

Honesty, humility, willingness to compromise, adequate listening/communicating skills, tenderness, and a great *kitten*. :)

Lol. Actually, they are. Maybe I should have used the blanket term- UTI, or urinary tract infection. If a bladder infection goes untreated, and they often do, the infection can travel to your kidneys. But we are off track here. Drinking water is beneficial for your body. Period. :)

If you are now an atheist can you not just eat during the day without your family knowing?

Your body is made up of a large amount of water. It needs it to function properly. Too little water can be harmful in many ways. Kidney infections are common when not enough water is consumed. Your body also retains water when it is not getting enough. This causes you to swell and hold on to water weight.

I mix equal parts of dry regular oatmeal and low fat vanilla yogurt. Then let it regrigerate overnight (or at least a few hours). I had never heard of this until I joined MFP and several members from the UK suggested it. Very yummy!

Depends on the med. Some cause increased hunger. So with those if you can just manage to stay within a certain calorie limit then you will not gain. Others cause a change in your hormones, which can ultimately lead to a change in your metabolism. With these meds you can gain weight even by watching what you eat because…

Eat three meals a day with snacks in between. Just as you would working days. Works for me. Good luck!

Eggs, cheese, nuts, protein bars, protein shakes, beans... :)

Nothing wrong with a cup of cocoa. I drink the Nestle sugar free hot cocoa. :)

Yep

If you are having trouble hitting the 1200 mark try eating non-diet food. Of course eat healthy. But buy regular milk, not fat free. Eat the whole egg, as opposed to just the whites. If you can't enough calories then there is little reason to be cutting them in the first place. Good luck!

Typically, no. If recommended and supervised by a physician- sure. I would consult your doctor first, as that is a very low amount and your body may lose proper functionaing ability and slow your metabolism. And that would make you weak, sick, and give you issues losing/maintaining weight in the long run.
-
Agreed. I couldn't figure it out either...

Make sure there's no junk in the house. At least you can manage what she eats while she is at home. My hubby is trying to lose weight so we make sure not to have any snacky foods around (chips, cookies, etc). If he is hungry he actually has to prepare his food. This makes him think twice as to whether or not he is truly…

Do not weigh at night. The food and water you take in each day weighs different amounts so you will have varying numbers. Always weigh first thing in the morning before you eat or drink anything and after you use the restroom. This will be your most accurate number.

Sex: F Age: 31 Weight: 133 Height: 5'7.5" How many calories you NET per day: 1800-2000 NET How many times per week you exercise w/ minutes: 2-3 for 30-60 minutes (light)

Agreed. I think we are all capable of messing up. As long as what we are doing is working for us then more power to us. I go over all of the time and consistently lose. The numbers on MFP do not have to be set in stone. You have to find what works best for you. And again, maybe these individuals going over need more…

I read her post a different way. She mentions friends in the red in the first paragraph. Then she discusses also contemplating deleting inactive friends. To me she was discussing two differnt things she may delete friends over. Being in the red, or over on cals, and inactive friends, or friends who do not log in every day.
-
Being in the red means they have gone over on their calories. They ARE using the site...
-
I'd worry more about you and your goals. Also try being supportive of those people that have been going over lately. Maybe they are struggling with their diet/exercise routine and need a bit of support from YOU.
-
Lol. This-kind of. I was a 4.0 student all through out college and rarely studied. So I guess Im #4- the one who absorbed all the info while in class. :)
-
I pre-log. Nothing worse then eating dinner, logging, and realizing you were over on your calorie goal because you didn't plan right.

This is in the Newbie section in the forums: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/10589-for-those-confused-or-questioning-eating-your-exercise-calo

In this instance I agree with this statement. Basically you are only giving your body 1000 cals to function off of. Weight loss or no weight loss that's just not healthy longterm.

Exercise is actually recommended to keep your digestive system healthy and active. Sounds like you have a very active GI system, as this is normal. I wouldn't complain. I wish it was as simple as that for me. :)
