Words you wish you could eliminate
Deprive for one. It gets tossed around way too much. It's only deprivation if you are not getting something you need.

Best pedometers you have used?
I have been through pedometers a-plenty. I have for years now almost obsessively kept track of my daily steps. I recently got out of that when my favorite pedometer was damaged beyond repair. I have used several of sportlines pedometers. My only issues are they either don't stay on like they should (hence getting dropped…

Your most humiliating "fat" experience.
We all surely have some experience related to out weight that lingers in our minds. I wouldn't say I was even fat when this happened. I am 5'3", at the time I weighed 145 pounds. I was in the process of losing weight I gained from quitting smoking. Anyhoo, we were talking about going to the beach. My now husband, then…

The MOST annoying commercial EVER!!!!
I find these newer KIt-Kat commercials to be so grating that they make me want to smash the tv and throw it out the window! I wish they would come up with some other idea to sell their stupid candy! What commercial annoys you in the same way? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZhArw0p90c

I can't locate the formula......
I used the formula for calculating BMR/TDEE but I cannot find the one I used. I need to recalculate. Also, the last time I did this, I saw two formulas, one for metric units and one for standard units. Naturally you will get different numbers depending upon which is used. If you have this formula and you know whether to…

Firefox nuisance anyone.....
maybe it's just an operator error here. I don't know. I just know it drives me nuts. When I scroll using the little bar thing-ama-jig over to the right, I will scroll down say, reading comments or what ever, when I use it to scroll back up, some how It closes my page every time. This is maddening. Places like MFP require…

Tai Chi or Qigong anyone?
I had a great Tai Chi video, but I have done it until I can do it no more. Do you do Tai chi or qigong? I am looking for some good videos. If you know of any good ones, or ones that are not good please share! Thanks!

Emotional non-eaters?
For lack of a better term, emotional non-eaters. Feel free to offer a better way of saying it. Anyhoo, the people who are emotional eaters are plenty. People who eat because they are depressed, lonely, stressed etc.... I tend to do the opposite. When my feelings get all stirred up my appetite just goes on vacation. I am…

Candida diet anyone?
Have you tried the candida diet? Not necessarily for weight loss, but to cure your candida problem? The diet includes natural dietary anti-fungals such as garlic and coconut oil ( in small amounts of course), zero man made food, certain types of meats or other proteins, and vegetables which are low in sugar and carbs. IF…

Food that makes you feel terrible.
Does anyone have foods that they cannot eat because it just makes you feel rotten? I have some that I avoid for this reason. I may find myself with a heart rate that is both hard and fast after eating certain things, also I may get a tremble going on in my fingers. I will be tired feeling. Kind of Wired but tired I guess…

What is this about.....
last Wednesday I was doing push ups. My left elbow had that feeling like it was going to pop, but it never did. I would not say there was pain, but it was annoying. I don't recall that it felt that way when I did push ups on Friday. How ever, my right knee felt that way when I was doing lunges on Friday, and it feels like…

Jillian Michaels has PCOS?

Fitbit flex?
Anyone use it? How do you like it? Would you recommend? It says it monitors how well you sleep. That's a new one. I guess if it's accurate that could come in handy. http://www.amazon.com/Fitbit-Wireless-Activity-Sleep-Wristband/dp/B00BGO0Q9O/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1368140029&sr=8-4&keywords=fit+bit

I don't want a waist line that looks like this!
I keep seeing pictures of women who after working out, losing fat, and building muscle, have a straight waistline with no curves at all. Is this because of the way the muscles were built, is it genetic? What causes a woman's waist to look like this? This kind of makes me think twice about trying too hard to build muscle.…

This can't be right???? Can it????
So I found a bra size calculator. I have had some doubts about my bras and the way they fit. I am not going to go get measured because I don't really want to strip down and show my busted can of biscuits looking self to anyone. Well, anyhoo.... This bra size calculator has me at a size 40A! 40 A? Does that even exist? I am…

How to make carpet more slippery for a better work out.
I do a lot of dancing workouts, and other work outs that seem to always involve twisting and turning the body. My problem is the doggone carpet creates too much resistance and that creates ankle and knee pain from the resistance and the foot not turning smoothly. I need a good way to remove that friction that is created…

Kind of embarrasing, but I need to ask.....
I am certain I pulled my groin muscle doing the following: http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/side-plank-with-knee-tuck?workout=23236 Sigh..... I have a hip and knee problem on the left side, and there is a strength imbalance, the entire right leg being stronger than the left. Actually, the weakness seems to be just on…

It can be very easy to get out of control.
I just read this article, and I have to say, it left me thinking. I think we all get so wrapped up in our "numbers" that we stop doing what we started out doing. Sometimes it pays to take a step back and look at the big picture. I don't know how many other people here share my problem with diet, exercise and body image or…

Rodney yee and the big fat affair.
I have been practicing yoga for about 7 years now, and Rodney Yee has always been my favorite. He just really has a way of relaxing me. I was reading something about him leaving his wife for Colleen Saidman, one of his students. If you practice yoga, did this whole cheating scandal turn you off? I don't really think I ever…

Kefir anyone?

Best way to strenthen knees or surrounding muscles?
I admit, I am not an expert here. I have a bad knee that has been taken with a grain of salt by my doctor. I cannot afford to go doctor hopping until someone listens to me. If you have ever had a bad knee, what exercises did you do to gain strength or support in that whole area? I have a hard time getting any real exercise…

Do you wash cabbage???
I have always cut up my cabbage, and washed it after. My sister says she does not wash cabbage. Is it really necessary to wash a head of cabbage? It just feels wrong to skip that step. I should add, I usually am not eating raw myself, but kids always come in begging for a handful of raw cabbage.
