I ran into these somewhere. I thought they were interesting:


- One pound equals 3500 calores

- Standing for 50 minutes a day burns 100 calories

- Research shows that extra sleep can help people stick with healthier eating and helps control hormones that trigger food cravings.

- Adding 2 pounds of muscle means that your body at rest will burn 100 extra
calories per day.

- Thirty minutes of house cleaning burns 100 calories

Well Dang! If 30 mns of cleaning burns 100 cals, I must burn 200 almost every day! I know that sounds bad to have an hour of cleaning to do every day, but I have a 1 year old, and a 35 year old (DH) to clean up around!!!

Those are interesting Gretchen, thanks for sharing that information.

Very interesting, thanks!

And here's the "good" news about fat........the heavier you are when you're standing there, or cleaning -- whatever -- the more calories you burn!

Good thread, Gretchen!

I'll add one:

- Many people mistake thirst for hunger, as it's symptoms are sometimes the same.

Jessica, that was interesting information too. To bad my husband is deployed for so long. I really think he would be up for that kind of exercise plan.

Sarah, Darn it. I know what you said is so true. I just don't drink enough water at all. I really need to work on that.

Any tips on the best place to buy an Italian chandelier??

LOL Jill

Thanks for the tips.

Gretchen that explains why I never gained weight eating so much fast food when I worked at Wal-mart since I stood on my feet for over 8 hours a day. As soon as I stopped working there I gained like 20 pounds in less than 2 months!!!!
