I only take the tour when membership is confirmed! Lol Almost boo'd up!

Love it!

I guess the writers have their fingers on the pulse of our culture. Le Sigh People still think it's elective to choose better health, by any means necessary...

You deserve the very best from every facet of life!

The protein question is a very complex one and likely will remain that way because higher intake controls weight so well. And we are Sinclair's Jungle culture personified. I remember asking the forum awhile ago about optimal intake and erring on the side of less. I got mixed reviews. I did a ton of research none of which would properly load on the mobile platform (of course) but what I decide from it is was that I would flex in and out of optimal range because I wasn't convinced I needed to always have the most. I have debated this with my team too. But as always knowledge is power and talk every thing out with your team. I also found a study a while back that said plant protein sources were bioavailable and absorb differently in the intestines. I'll see if I can find it again.

That sounds like a "character" problem more than health habits. He may be the same exact way at any weight or lifestyle.

Great question! But I'll tell you it may be a matter entirely of perception. Healthy = thin vs Unhealthy= overweight i just met someone who is naturally (and always will be) lean, that is not on the same healthy eating journey, doesn't have strict eating habits. It can be just as tough. But I'm not sure every part of life needs to be shared with a partner. I certainly never expected my then partner to complete research with me during my college years, or travel extensively with me to places they had no interest in. Why focus on this to bind/bond us. BUT maybe that's why I'm single!?!?! LOL

I wish! Thanks!

Oh it's not blood work, some physical testing

You need to exercise! Cardio for health! *Screams the couch potato

I liked the first few episides but haven't watched in a while. Sounding more and more like House, MD (which I loved)

Congrats! However we are the 2017 Nov sleevers. The thread is a little quiet these days... But there is a thread for 2018 Nov sleevers and it is very active!

Wait a minute... Am I the only person not ... Exercising my way to better health??? LOL

Hi! I would suggest completing your profile thoroughly so you can gain access to the Veteran's forums where there will be more threads/posts that may reflect your specific needs.

Just a few short days left before we officially start! I'm prepping and feel beyond ready to start What are your favorite hot drinks? It's getting cold outside

I started a Nov. 2018 Hydration Challenge (join us!) and now I'm abusing expensive water again... I was doing so well for so long... 😓

So I think ... Issa boyfriend! Lol I might be boo'd up (is that the spelling?) Alas, we shall see, just a few more dates to go

Mandated 12 hr dry fasting for routine testing and I'm already so thirsty. Is there such a thing as head thirst? Lol Checking out my gallbladder in the AM just to prove whether or not I am a sleeve unicorn (dumping syndrome) or a regular @$$ lol. How is everyone else doing?

I am a chronic abuser of ... both! 😂

Had this happened to me, I would have called my children to my bedside, to give them their blessings... I'm that dramatic too lol

I fracking wish...

My children can write in cursive, One day my progeny proudly lined up to display that they can sign my name Just. Like. Me. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I asked this question in website assistance a while back. Liking original content or responses (all activities I believe) increases scores that can directly increases rewards points to the BP Store. I make it a point to like everything (relevant) to pay forward the points to everyone. I even made a post about it forever ago. But yes to the heart of the rant: This site can be a mixed bag, but doesn't have to stay that way. Before I became super active, I called out bullying and some disagreed it was occurring. (I will leave it up to everyone to decide what they personally think) so I decided instead of leaving (like I wanted) I would try to make a haven in some spaces. Fun threads, extra positivity when possible, etc... Some balance. I will not engage in most debates these days because it's a fruitless task for me and I really just want everyone to be successful.
