You don't say what breed the puppy is and that does matter. Keep in mind that teething will get worse between 8 and 13 months and that is when the real destruction happens if you are not careful. Tapping does absolutely no good. I will honestly say that I have never had a reason to hit/tap my dogs, not that I haven't felt…

scoobys workshop has a nice calculator that gives burned during and burned by calculations

University Professor of Sociology

my go to snack is a hardboiled egg. I try to keep them on hand at all times, I boil a dozen at a time.

I like reading relaxing brainless kind of stuff. I am a Professor and am always reading texts, theory as well as research so sitting down with a relaxing brainless book is just down time for me.

Reading "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman, I loved "Ocean at the End of the Lane" and a few others by him.... as for Gone Girl... loved the first 3/4 of the book absolutely despised the end

Yep, it keeps me honest. Every morning first thing...

absolutely not. I have 8 dogs most are retrievers and there is an Irish Wolfhound... we have a rule... they are allowed on the bed until the lights go out and then everyone off.

I think it is harder when you are at the beginning. You feel like you just got your head together and now this thing comes along. I had a similar event when I had just started... If it were me ... I would eat light in the morning... then just enjoy myself... and get right back on track in the morning ....

I am like the other person who said they log everything but dry spices... condiments can easily add up to a hundred calories especially ketchup that has alot of sugar in it and i tend to drown things in ketchup so yeah I log them all to me it is those hidden calories that kill me

I am here and at the moment sadly I only have one friend lol .... how is that for pitiful.... but I am here every day and at the gym almost every day

I have never had anyone be mean at my gym, but I don't go to a fancy gym... we use our local ymca so there are all types of people there, young, old, heavier and fit... As a whole it is a really nice environment and most people are very nice .

I have chickens so my go to is eggs. usually I will do 2 soft boiled eggs on 2 slices of double fiber whole wheat bread (70 cals/slice) with butter spray or 2 eggs over easy with 2 slices of toast and spray.... I try to keep hard boiled eggs in the house and yogurt in the house if I am running and need to grab something on…

No I don't do a cheat day... I will have a bad day periodically when an event is planned that I want to go to and not worry about what I eat, ie. Anniversary dinner but I make sure I work out on those days if I can and I still count everything and try not to go overboard. I used to do a cheat day, usually a weekend day and…

I found scoobys workshop discussion of calories burned by exercise and during exercise really helpful. it would seem that for many people they combine the two and that appears to be what MFP does as well but really if you are going to eat back calories it would be that you only want to eat back the calories burned by the…

I lost a great deal of weight in the past counting calories alone and am just coming back fro am 18 mos. injury to my ankle and subsequent surgery and am losing what I gained during the injury by just calorie counting and exercise (about 80 minutes of good cardio 5-6 days a week) does it work without the exercise sure,…

6 Golden Retrievers, 1 Flat Coated Retriever and an Irish Wolfhound

7 of my 9 dogs are insured with Embrace... the nice thing about them is you talk to a real person AND the deductible is an annual deductible and not a per incident deductible... I have been very happy with them and honestly for me .... we have had about $25,000 in vet expenses over the last 4 years.. and it is peace of…

We have 9 dogs here 5 goldens (Bing, Connie, Emmett, Connor and Kaelyn), 3 Flat Coats (Meir, Shalva and Cuinn) and an Irish Wolfhound (Natalie) They range in age from 9 mos. (Natalie the wolfhound) to 11 years (Connor - Golden)

Oh i know about the protein and I do eat protein but I found the changes in the WW did not account for beans and other legumes and those are a large source of protein for me....but those are the places where the calorie content wasn't high but the points value were very high, it made no sense... and the fruit thing just…
