Food Study - Fats not Carbs
Some of you may have seen this food study mentioned in the news. I thought some of you might be interested or have some additional thoughts on it. Essentially: • It involved 135.000 people in multiple countries for 7 years. • You live longer if you don’t eat low fat, eat your fat, 35% of your daily diet calories. • If you…

What healthy food is in the house when you return from trips?
What do you have in the freezer and the pantry ready to go when you return from a trip? We got home after being gone for 2+ weeks. It was a long drive home and we were pooped after unpacking and all of the things one has to do when you get home. When I'm tired, I don't make the best food choices. We didn't have anything…

WW GOAD Maintenance Thread
On the WW board, Charlie had a long thread on the Goad board regarding maintenance that he stuffed away somewhere and pulled out every now and then. Did that info survive after WW closed GOAD?

Eating Mindfully in social situations - need ideas.
So I'm doing OK at losing the 10 lbs I put on over the last year or two, until I get into social situations. Somehow, I forget that I have an eating plan. I do lots of planning before the event, but during the event, I forget. It is worse the longer the social event goes on. Recently I spent a week on a dive boat with food…

What's for lunch?
I need some easy lunch ideas. I'm in a rut and bored with lunches. I don't generally have left overs since portion control is easier for me if there is just enough for dinner.

Always sit down while eating?
I'm reading a diet book which advises always sit down while eating. The theory is that you are generally not mindful of what you are eating when standing. Examples are samples at Costco, grabbing a handful of nuts out of the pantry and eating while walking down the hall, a piece of candy from a co-workers desk and so on. I…

GOAD Island - Did it move to MFP
So did GOAD Island move to MFP? The magical place where food and drink has no calories? I'm dusting off my coconut bra and grass skirt. Do I hear some calypso music in the distance? I'm practicing my calypso dancing so I'll be ready. I'm also deciding what I'll have this evening.

What did you have for lunch today?
I'm in a rut when it comes to lunch and it is boring. Life is too short to have boring meals. What did you have for lunch today and was it on your plan? Note, I have the same thing everyday for breakfast and I like it. I have lots of variety for dinner which I like. Lunch is my problem.

Recruiting people to GOAD
I saw someone asking about how to recruit people to GOAD. I would suggest posting something about who and what you are on the popular message boards such as Getting Started and Success Stories. I would also suggest going back and adding to them every few days to get it to pop to the top of the list. Just a thought.

Where did WW Goad Go?
Just curious, where did WW Goad go? Is it still there if you pay? I'm a life time member but quit going to meetings. I thought it was too repetitive. But sigh, I'm back again so that didn't work out so well.

Here you are!
I strayed away from the WW Community page. When I went to look for it again, it was gone. Glad I found you all. I was an occasional poster but loved a lot of the posts.

So when did you loose the chub rub? I want to get to the point where I can walk a mile without my thighs chaffing. :sad: If you have no idea what I'm talking about, yay you, go to another thread please. If you have had naked thighs rubbing together as you have walked around in a dress or something else and experienced chub…

Calories for body conditioning class
Anyone have a ball park idea of how many calories for a body conditioning class? I thought I would use calories for strength lifting; they were slighly more than for yoga. It seems like the body conditioning class should be in that range. The class has you exercise with handweights, some mild cardio for a warm up, glute…

The Rungries - Do they calm down ever?
So I have noticed that when I started running for more than an hour at a time, I am MUCH hungrier. I've heard this called the rungries. Runners World says that at shorter distances, running suppresses your appetite. As you get to longer distances your apetite increases and you may want to eat more than you burned. They say…

Peanut Butter - How to measure it?
How do you measure peanut butter? I read that if you eyeball it, you will underestimate it. However if you put it in a measuring spoon, it seems that a lot will stay in the spoon. How do you level the spoon? I figure that someone has figured this out.

Reached Goal - 30 lbs gone
I reached goal today. I've lost 30 lbs since Jan 2013. I'm in my 50's. I weigh 119.8. I'm wearing size 6 jeans and they are comfy. I bought a couple of size 8 pants and they are loose.

Wanted good food blog for lower cal eaters
Somebody must have a good food blog with pictures of what they eat. Ideally they would provide calories and a link to recipes. I am in a rut and need some fresh ideas. Got any good links? I used to see this kind of thing in magazines, but haven't seen anything that fits lately. Runners World did something beautiful and…

Shopping in the closet - do it often
So I lost 20 lbs and 2 sizes. I went through the closet and found a pair of pants that I never wore. They were too small at my highest weight so I tossed them in the closet until I lost some weight. That was a couple of years ago and I forgot about them. I found them when I was cleaning out the closet and now they are way…

NSV - clown pants
So I wore the pants into work that previously I couldn't get on. My friend laughed and said OMG, you have lost so much weight that those look like clown pants. I cracked up. They do. I put a belt around them to keep them up. I'd like to lose another 10 lbs before I buy new pants. I bought 2 pairs in a size smaller than the…

scuba diving and calories?
So how many calories do you think you really burn scuba diving? MFP says 747 for 110 minutes of diving. Seems like too many. Does anyone have an alternate source for calories burned while scub diving? We were diving off a boat in the Caribbean. You just fall off the boat and float around. It's beautiful but doesn't seem…

running shorts that don't ride up
Hi, Looking for running shorts that don't ride up. My thighs still rub at the top which seems to cause the shorts to ride up. I saw a thread from a year ago on the topic but the shorts they recommended aren't available anymore. Thoughts? Vicky
