How fast is too fast?
I just started back down my path on January 1st. Before then my diet was pretty nasty and my exercise was nil. Now I am walking about an hour a day and have completely cleaned out my diet (I'm basically going in the way of the Paleo diet). My concern is, after 9 days I have lost 8.4 pounds. Help.. Please?

Hello from Oregon
My name is Rain. I'm a radio announcer in Southern Oregon. I have been on and off MFP for quite some time. The first time (3 years ago) I lost 57 pounds and hit my goal weight. I did my best to inspire my friends and family to join me and many of them saw success too; At that point I messed up. My life fell apart and I…

Should I be worried?
7.6 pounds gone in 8 days... Should I be worried? Last Tuesday I switched from a diet of around 2000-2400 calories per day to about 1100-1200 per day. My exercise has only marginally increased, but I am leading a fairly sedentary lifestyle right now. Basically I switched from Market Sandwiches (and a bit of fast food) to…

The Rules of Dreidel!!!
I'm a Christian and hadn't heard much about Dreidel (though I knew it was something you spin). I came across the rules and thought I'd share so your family could possibly have a little extra fun this holiday season (no matter which religion you follow). What is a Dreidel?

Noticing -- Co-worker behavior
So generally my fellow employees have been gluttons who don't care about their health. Since I've altered my lifestyle, I have noticed some of them making positive changes and I'm wondering WHAT positive changes you have noticed about your co-workers since you began to alter your lifestyle. My co-workers: -No longer go…

Eating Unhealthy Food VS Eating Nothing
Eating Unhealthy Food VS Eating Nothing Over the next several days I am attending an event where the food options are pretty much already selected. 90% of the food is Greased, Salted, Breaded and Deep Fried. I have no choice in this. The problem is: If I choose to eat only few the healthy side options, I'm going to throw…

So my nephew went through some things over the past few years to the point where Make a Wish foundation has arranged for him to be Zoo Keeper for a day at the Portland, Oregon zoo (This week).

The Michael Phelps Diet
This is an article from MensHealth.com ... I just found it interesting and thought I would share. PACKING ON THE CALORIES Remember the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when Michael Phelps won eight gold medals and also became known for his gigantic caloric intake? He said he ate 12,000 calories a day. If you tried to down that much…

Sweet Sinful Dancing
So I was out at a local night spot, people watching, over the weekend. I was dancing by my lonesome and trying to make eye contact with a few ladies who actually seemed like quality women. Nevertheless they'd catch me looking and give me a smile, but I never approached them to dance. Later in the night I'd see these same…

Armed and Dangerous?
When you walk/hike on streets, paths, etc... Do you carry a weapon? If so, what? Personally depending on where I am and what I'm doing I carry anything ranging from: an Asp (Extend-A-Baton) to a hand gun.
