Apparently *you* didn't read it well. Trust me, I did. That was why I chose that article to respond to. *Your* reply was the one that went off the deep end... and left you somewhat in water over your head. That being said, I am truly impressed with your response and no offense was ever intended. I didn't assume an offense was ever meant. I don't see this as a topic that drives people to being offensive as such. However, Usenet is filled with offensive people. Not so oddly they usually are everywhere, and do comment of this type of thread. Very oddly though, there haven't been any here! We may well be adamantly disagreeing, but I don't see anyone being offensive. Are us "fat folks" easier to get along with, or what??? :-) Now, what do you have to say about weight-loss and WW ? LOL!!! Oh, my... NO! I just went to the doc last week, and I've gained 10 pounds and my sugar levels were up to "borderline diabetic" again. I am in no mood to discuss *this* topic! I _love_ to eat, and had just decided that one particular meal (halibut with salad and rice) that I eat often would be better with double the amount of rice in it. Booom! That idea gets blown away... Grrrrrr... please, just now I really don't want to talk about WW. ;-) -- Floyd L. Davidson http://www.apaflo.com/floyd_davidson Ukpeagvik (Barrow, Alaska) |

Sorry to hear that your sugar levels are high. You had better take care of
it and watch your carb intake. Discussing WW is what this group is all about so I'm a little surprised that you don't want to discuss this topic? I did say, "indigenous people of artic part of CANADA are referred to Inuit"......we are either not communicating properly or you keep missing that point? So where is my inaccurate statement? Take Care Floyd......it's really not worth arguing about....... Let's get back to discussing WW and weightloss - ok?

snip The etymology of the term "Eskimo" is plagued with a myth that it is an Indian word for "eaters of raw meat", as if that would be an insult. I don't see the insult either LOL Of course nobody but a Westerner with a very hypocritical Eurocentric view would consider that insulting. steak tartare anyone? very popular in Belgium from what I understand LOL alot more snipped thanks for all the interesting info |

You need to get away from WW and start on your own to see what to eat and
make you own decisions. There are hundreds of books out there to read, or even the internet. You should be able to look on a package of food is with a quick glance, see its its going to load you up with fat and calories. Very easy to lose weight. Intake calories - (+) burning = losing (gaining) weight Thats all you need to know. How much you take in, how much you burn normally, then add some walking to burn more. Good luck "nanner" wrote in message ... Hi - i am totally lost when it comes to calories. Should i just google it and see what the "average woman" should intake or is there a formula for how many calories a day to eat? I am using Fitday to track what i eat but then i see all these numbers and it means nothing to me!! What should the Fat/Protien/Carbs ratio be? I need to lose weight, not maintain where I am. Thanks!! |
