12 pringles is probably not going to do it for me, alysee. Good for you, if it works for you, but 12 pringles would not even have registered for me. I had brownies just sitting there on the counter, already cut, plus leftover cake (from a party). I was going to eat all that, plus a big fat, pb&j with the expensive jelly from Holland with the huge chunks of black cherries in it. I was looking for a significant sized portion of something that felt indulgent, yet was not calorie dense. Porridge sounds interesting mango321, I think something new to me would also help. 10 slices of pizza... wow. That would BE my binge hagkure77. Normally, for me, emotional issues are not part of it. Though, if I'm bored, or stuck in the house, then I am more likely to start into stuffing myself sick. |

| Weight Loss | Weight loss date set in stone? | Mar 11 2008 00:17 (UTC) |

The answer to your question is - the date will change as your weight drops. It will move up in the calendar if you aggressively lose weight. I would encourage you to work out some and see where your growth goes. I see your profile says you are 14. Our pediatrician is working with my daughter to help her lose weight, and the farthest he will go is that she should be more active and eat healthy. Your goal to be 105... if I could pick a goal for you, it would be for you to be active and see where it takes you. Your body wants to be healthy and will take you there if you let it. |

If you weigh more, you burn more. So, if a woman who weighs twice as much as I do works out side by side in the same aerobics class, then she's burning more calories (roughly double). Its only fair, its more work to move the mass. |

| Weight Loss | Would you eat as much if you had to kill it/ grow it? | Mar 10 2008 22:50 (UTC) |

If I had a garden, which I am considering, I would have a small one and feed my family many more vegetables. And fruit, though I doubt I would tackle fruit in my own small yard as it stands now. And I would be extremely generous with herbs, more so than I am now. If I had to butcher, I would probably eat less meat. But likely not much less. I am already not one to eat much meat. I realize the high cost that an animal had to pay just to assuage my hunger, and peanut butter/beans are equally tasty, if not more so. Fish - not a problem for me, would probably eat more. That being said, I want chickens. Like about 10, for their eggs. |

| Weight Loss | Is it bad to eat majority of cals at dinner time? | Mar 07 2008 15:40 (UTC) |

I do hesitate to put in my two cents when the topic is heated, but here goes. Shauna_182 isn't doing a one meal a day thing, so I would agree her general trend is working for her and not unhealthy. I tend to concentrate the day's calories in a single meal as well. I would like to remind folks of how long it takes your body to pull calories out of your food. A meal will enter your stomach and START the digestive process at that point. Once your body moves that meal from your stomach into your small intestine, that is when your body will generally send a signal to you that you are "empty now! - ready to eat more food if you find it!" message. But that does not mean you have completed digestion. Your food has to continue to be processed, you are looking at usually a two day process of winding its way through the small and then large intestine. Your body is pulling nutrients and calories during this process. The above description DOES NOT try to address blood sugar spikes and the like, that is another topic and should not be confused with calorie extraction. There are multiple reasons that you would not want to eat ALL calories for the day in a single meal.... but a trend towards having a single meal be your main meal of the day is not unhealthy and if you want that food at night, then have a wonderful dinner! |

Is jump roping as good an exercise as running?
In terms of calorie burning, moderate jumping is about equal to running a 10-minute mile, although calorie burning is always a function of time... Read more
