Young Calorie Counters	What can you do, physically?	Apr 09 2008 05:50 (UTC)	16
I can't run because my knees can't take impact..so the closest thing I can get to running is an elliptical and I could just stay on that thing for hours on end if I had the time. Adrenaline is amazing.
Maintaining	What are your Maintenance Stats....	Apr 03 2008 06:39 (UTC)	18
Age: 19 Height: 5'6" Weight: 128-130 depending on the time of the month Calories: I eat 1700-2000 on weekdays and I don't count what I eat on the weekends and basically eat tons of sweets, but all-in-all it evens out somehow. Exercise: 30-40 minutes of cardio and 10-15 minutes of weight training 4-5 times per week
Weight Loss	Anyone here on Alli?	Apr 01 2008 15:39 (UTC)	2
Since they recommend 15g of fat or less for a meal, what qualifies as a meal? Is the 15g for 3 meals a day? I eat 6-10 times a day, and most of the time it's all things that I consider snacks (100 calories here, 200 there). So, for instance, that the 15g is for three meals, if I were to divide that up into the number of snacks that I eat on a particular day, would that be the correct amount of fat for that snack?
Foods	Negative Cal foods.. what??	Mar 30 2008 00:07 (UTC)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16634203/ Believe what you wish, but I have not been able to find a single piece of scientific evidence to back up any truth behind negative calorie foods.

Tomatoes and turkey go great together.
Fitness	6 to 8 reps or 8 to 12 reps or 10 to 15 reps does it matter	Mar 27 2008 20:47 (UTC)	24
A family friend, who happens to be a personal trainer, told me that in order to build muscles most effectively, use the correct amount of weight to where you can do more than 6, but less than 12 reps. 6 or less reps meaning you're using too much weight, greater than 11 meaning you're using too little.
Maintaining	What are your measurements? 5"5 and 5"6 er Ladies	Mar 21 2008 02:09 (UTC)	35
Weight: 128 Bust: 34 (34C) Waist: 25 Hips: 38 My butt refuses to let anything give. Since I started measuring 17 pounds ago, I've lost inches everywhere else while my hips have remained exactly the same. That's my only major issue.

Many restaurants where I live don't have nutritional information either. I understand why they wouldn't want anything posted. It all depends on the Chef/Cook's preparation as to how much of this, that, and the other goes into it. Some may use more butter, some may use more oil, etc.
Foods	Food weights....	Mar 17 2008 20:05 (UTC)	1
Take the serving size multiplied by the number of servings. If this weight equals the weight on the package, then it's for the raw meat. If it doesn't, then it's going to be for the cooked weight. If there is no number of servings, then you might have to call the company. They are allowed to put on raw or cooked weight.
Young Calorie Counters	500 calorie things- not too filling	Mar 17 2008 04:00 (UTC)	2
This isn't a healthy food suggestion, but it'd work nonetheless. If you look in the snack cake section at wherever you shop, you should see these Little Debbie triple fudge brownies advertised at 100 calories per brownie. They're delicious and tiny (they measure 1 ¾ inches by 1 ¾ inches and are ¼ of an inch thick). If you were to eat just one for dessert after each meal it'd add 300 calories.

According to my dentist, diet soda is even worse for your teeth than regular soda.
Weight Loss	What size then and now?	Mar 06 2008 04:59 (UTC)	2
My biggest was size 13 (juniors) at 180. I'm currently 128 and my pant size bounces around anywhere&n bsp;between size 5 and 11 (juniors) depending on the brand and cut.
Fitness	body fat % question	Mar 06 2008 04:15 (UTC)	2
I tried a bioelectrical impedance device when Gold's Gym was trying to sell me a membership and it came up at 18% which seems like it's on the lower end, yet, I still see tons of fat on myself and I've lost 5 pounds since then and actually gained a visible muscle in my arm. How does this work?
Maintaining	Birth Control and Weight Maintenance, is it possible????? Help svp	Feb 27 2008 01:06 (UTC)	20
My OB/GYN told me that the believed reason that many people complain of weight gain while on birth control is that it changes the way your body deals with carbs. Maybe you could try limiting them and see how that works? There's also many different&nb sp;kinds of birth control ;out there. You're obviously having adverse side effects of weight gain from the pills you're accustomed to, so maybe it would be worth it to risk trying a different pill to see if you can fine one that allows you to function normally without weight gain. I've actually lost 30 pou nds since I've been on&nb sp;Depo.
