Essential/Familial Tremors Anyone?
Am interested in starting a MFP group for people who are dealing with Essential/Familial Tremors, but I have to find at least 3 people before I can create the group. I was just diagnosed w/this yesterday, but was actually relieved it wasn't Parkinson's, which runs in my family as well. The idea behind the group would be to…

Agree to Disagree and Move On...don't get hostile to posters
Check your attitude...I've posted on the forums fairly regularly in the past, mainly to help those who are asking questions. Even met some nice MFP friends doing that. But the more I do it, the less I have a desire to do it. Due to either actual trolls, or people who don't realize they're trolls. For newbies, trolls are…

1 Meal.300 Calorie Error..Why It's Important to Weigh Food
You find the right food in the database, compare the calories to the package/restaurant website, then enter in "1 serving." But there can be a HUGE difference in what a "serving" is & what you're getting. Whether you're eating healthy or splurging, weighing the food (when you're home) could keep you from shorting yourself.…

"Shoveling Snow" *is* in the Exercise Database
Just wanted to let everyone know, in case you didn't already. And I'm guessing this is one exercise where the calories burned are NOT being over-estimated.

NEW Walking Dead Spin Off Series
Since some have asked about this...the articles are saying that it's going to be about a group of people unconnected to the original series or comics, so they aren't tied to any back stories & the writers can take it where they want. Whether they stick to that remains to be seen. They also said it'll probably start up in…

Spoilers Question for Admin or Fans
Can we start a topic where it's an actual discussion of future spoilers (as long as we don't put a spoiler in the title), for those of us who enjoy knowing spoilers & can still enjoy the episodes? So for example, the subject of the post could be "Season 4 Spoilers", but nothing would be revealed except in the comments…

Newbie Thanking You for This Group
Just found this group by accident on a thread & very happy to be a part of it. I'm 53, have always been very active, & ate whatever I wanted...until my 2nd child (now 22), when my metabolism change combined w/continued eating whatever I wanted (not healthy & lots of fried food...hey my mom is from the south) saw my weight…

Horses Run INTO Burning Barns
Did you know that horses will run back into their burning barns? They do it because it's a place where they USUALLY feel safe & secure, but obviously (to people anyway) if it's burning, it's no longer safe. They have actually been known to run their owners down to get back into the barn. Owners have to get them out, close…

Race Across America Bike Race...Why Isn't This "News"?
My friend, Maria, starts the Race Across America bike race tomorrow at noon (PST) in Oceanside, CA, ending 12 days later in Annapolis, MD. Racers average about 2 hrs of sleep/day, recently voted the most grueling endurance event in the world, almost twice as long as the Tour de France, in half the time. She's doing this to…

Chiropractors...Your Experience-Good or Bad?
Know some people go to chiropractors on a regular basis, & some just for a particular need/injury then stop. Some people feel they're very helpful, others feel it's a rip off. Although I haven't heard of anyone injured by chiropractic treatment, I was wondering if it happens? I used to work for a neurosurgeon who dealt…

Intermittent Fasting (IF)?? Your Experience?
Am looking into Intermittent Fasting (IF) for general health (NOT just to lose weight), after watching BBC Horizons "Eat, Fast, and Live Longer." Would be very interested in the experiences of those who've tried it. How did you feel before you did it, while you were doing it, and after you were doing it? Any changes in…

Fat Free Very Low Calorie Ranch Dressing (Easy too!)
This may have been posted before, but in case someone missed it, like me... Mix together 1 packet of Ranch Dressing dry mix (we prefer Hidden Valley), 1C of plain fat free Greek yogurt, & skim milk until desired consistency is reached. We used 1/2C skim, but next time will try 1/4C to make it thicker. Probably better if…

Great Facebook Fan Page
If anyone's looking for more discussion between seasons. This Biggest Loser Facebook fan page has a lot of good discussions posted. Like the fact that Sam was messing around on Stephanie w/multiple women, so Stephanie is divorcing him, even though she's pregnant. Sad. https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/2205076315/

Post a Photo of Your Food Temptation in the Trash
Some members of our weight loss group did this on our Facebook page & it's been a lot of fun. Take that cheat food that you have stashed in your house somewhere...pull it out, dump it in the trash, take a photo of it & post it on this thread. If you still have a Stupid Phone (opposite of a Smart Phone) like I have, or…

Thoughts on BBC's "Truth about Exercise" Documentary?
Was just wondering if anyone else had seen this documentary by the same man, Moseley, who did the "Eat, Fast, & Live Longer" documentary, and what your thoughts were. Did you try to incorporate any of the ideas into your fitness routine? Thought the idea of Super Responders (15% of people) and Non-Responders (so sorry for…

Weight Tickers...Why Did You Pick "Wt to Go" or "Wt Lost"?
If you use a Weight Ticker, why did you choose "Weight Lost" or "Weight to Go"? I personally chose "Weight Lost," because sometimes I can be so busy looking at what I still need to do, that I forget to CELEBRATE what I've already done. I've also told MFP friends to change their starting weight to their highest weight, so…

Anyone Else Who Can't Stand the "Taste" of Water?
Ok, my husband thinks I'm crazy, but I'm hoping there are others out there like me. We've lived 15 different places mostly in the USA, but also around the world (military), & w/the exception of water in a California mountain cabin, I have NEVER liked the taste of water, not even bottled/filtered. Don't like to drink it, &…
