Mrs. Puff is a fictional character in the animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants and both films based on the franchise. Voiced by Mary Jo Catlett, Mrs. Puff debuted in the season one episode "Boating School" on August 7, 1999. Mrs. Puff was created and designed by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg. He developed the character in response to a request from Nickelodeon that the show star a schoolteacher. Hillenburg did not want to write SpongeBob SquarePants as a school-age child, so Mrs. Puff was introduced as his driving instructor rather than an elementary school educator.
Mrs. Puff is SpongeBob's paranoid driving teacher and the owner of the town boating school, which is similar to a driver's education facility. She would like nothing more than to pass SpongeBob, as he is her most dedicated and hard-working student, but he routinely panics when he tries to drive a boat and fails every driving test he takes. His failures often result in crashes that lead to mass destruction and endanger Mrs. Puff. While she tries her best to be friendly and patient with her students, Mrs. Puff finds SpongeBob's unintentional recklessness exasperating. She is the long-standing love interest and girlfriend of Mr. Krabs.
The character has received a positive critical reception and has become well known in popular culture for her distinctive voice and temperamental personality. Catlett received an Annie Award nomination in 2001 for her voice-over work as Mrs. Puff along with Tom Kenny as the title character, making them the first SpongeBob cast members to be nominated for an award. Mrs. Puff is featured regularly in a variety of merchandise, such as plush toys and video games, and has appeared at theme parks and in Toyota commercials.
Role in SpongeBob SquarePants
Mrs. Puff is an anthropomorphic porcupinefish (also called a pufferfish)[2][a] who owns the underwater boating school that SpongeBob attends. Despite her efforts, she has been unsuccessful at teaching SpongeBob how to drive a boat.[3] He is her most committed student, and knows the answer to every question on the oral exam, but panics every time he takes the driving part of her course. He often crashes her vehicles and causes town wide destruction in the process. Mrs. Puff displays the blowfish's inflation defense mechanism when she is scared or when SpongeBob crashes, akin to a car's airbag deploying.[4]
Mrs. Puff's friendliness toward other characters varies. She sympathizes with the short-tempered Squidward Tentacles, and considers him to be the prime example of an outstandingly good driver.[5] Patrick, who has attended Mrs. Puff's class multiple times,[6][7] is treated with respect by her in spite of his slow-wittedness. Of all the residents of Bikini Bottom, she is closest to SpongeBob. While she normally dreads having to drive with SpongeBob, she often acts as a motherly figure towards him.[8]
A running gag in the series is Mrs. Puff's extensive criminal record. As a result of SpongeBob's reckless driving, he regularly lands Mrs. Puff in jail[9] since she assumes responsibility for his actions. This gag is introduced in "Hall Monitor", when Mrs. Puff is held responsible after SpongeBob inadvertently destroys Bikini Bottom.[10] In "Doing Time", SpongeBob and Patrick attempt to break her out of prison to no avail. It is revealed that she prefers prison to working as a teacher because she does not have to drive with SpongeBob. In "No Free Rides", it is implied that Mrs. Puff once had to move to a new town and start a new school with a new name.[11]
Mrs. Puff was married to another blowfish named Mr. Puff in the past, but he was captured by humans and turned into a novelty lamp. Since then, she and Mr. Krabs have pursued a romantic relationship and gone on many dates together.[12][13] As of the show's tenth season, Mrs. Puff and Mr. Krabs have been dating for sixteen years.[14] Krabs' love for her is so strong that it temporarily transcends his greed for money; she is one of only two characters, the other being his daughter Pearl, who he cares for more than his riches.[15] He gives her a variety of pet names in the series and in spin-off media.[16] In his review of the third season, Bryan Pope of DVD Verdict examined the two characters' relationship and mistook Mrs. Puff for Krabs' wife.[17]
Creation and design
Mrs. Puff was conceived and designed by series creator Stephen Hillenburg. She was the last of the principal SpongeBob characters to be designed, having not been conceptualized until after Hillenburg had completed his show bible.[18] The June 2003 issue of Nickelodeon Magazine states that when Hillenburg pitched SpongeBob to Nickelodeon, he "had yet to come up with the idea that Mrs. Puff and SpongeBob would be on an endless quest to get SpongeBob a driver's license".[18] Thus, some early development artwork for the show depicted SpongeBob driving a submarine-esque vehicle with ease.[18]
Mrs. Puff's development originated with a request by Nickelodeon that SpongeBob attend a school. Nickelodeon initially wanted to make SpongeBob a child since their most successful cartoons at the time focused on young, school-age characters.[19] Hillenburg stated that the network wanted SpongeBob to be like "Arnold [from Hey Arnold!] under the sea," but he told them, "No, that's not the show."[19] As a compromise, Hillenburg decided to "put him in school - but it would be a [boat] driving school"; this allowed him to keep writing SpongeBob as an adult while also using the school as a main plot element.[19] Showrunner Vincent Waller suggested that if the network had creative control over the show, almost every episode would take place at Mrs. Puff's school, not at a variety of locations.[20] The choice to make Mrs. Puff a blowfish, who inflates into a ball when SpongeBob crashes, was made to evoke the appearance of car airbags.[4] Because she was created late in production, her design incorporates elements of the earlier characters' appearances, such as the same type of skirt as Pearl and the same rounded teeth as Squidward.[4]
The episode "Doing Time" was one of the first to be written specifically from Mrs. Puff's point of view; another early example was season two's "No Free Rides." In his 2013 book The SpongeBob SquarePants Experience, animation historian Jerry Beck argued that the former was what "elevated Mrs. Puff to star status".[21]
Mrs. Puff is voiced by American actress Mary Jo Catlett, who is known for her live-action roles on television programs from the 1970s such as Diff'rent Strokes and M*A*S*H.[22] As of 2017, voicing Mrs. Puff is her only regular television role; Catlett described herself as "basically retired" in 2013 since voice acting requires less preparation than performances in person.[23] The About Group's Nancy Basille noted in 2016 that Catlett's "rich, low tones as teacher Mrs. Puff recall other roles she has had," citing Diff'rent Strokes and M*A*S*H as programs on which she had used a similar voice.[22]
Critical response
The character has received positive reactions from critics and fans. Fashion designer Peter Jensen, who designed a line of sweatshirts inspired by SpongeBob, called Mrs. Puff his "absolute favorite" character in an interview with Women's Wear Daily.[24] In 2004, New York Times chief film critic A. O. Scott named Mrs. Puff as one of his favorite characters on SpongeBob SquarePants, along with Squidward Tentacles and Sandy Cheeks.[25] Mrs. Puff was ranked second on Chilango's list of favorite cartoon teachers.[26] KSL-TV listed Mrs. Puff in their countdown of "13 teachers from pop culture you can't help but love".[27] Andrew Whalen of IBT Media called Mrs. Puff's role in the "Doing Time" episode "a series highlight".[28] The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported in 2002 that episodes about Mrs. Puff's Boating School were fan favorites.[29] Scott Lecter of DVD Talk said in his review of the show's first theatrical film that Mrs. Puff, Sandy and Squidward "make for some of the biggest laughs in the episodes".[30]
Francis Rizzo of DVD Talk called Mrs. Puff's voice "spot-on" thanks to "the perfectly cast Mary Jo Catlett".[31] Mary Jo Catlett's voiceover work as Mrs. Puff was nominated for a 2001 Annie Award in the category Outstanding Individual Achievement for Voice Acting by a Female Performer in an Animated Television Production.[32] Tom Kenny was nominated at the same ceremony for voicing SpongeBob, making them the first actors to earn an award nomination for their work on the show. Catlett and some other main cast members were also nominated for Best Vocal Ensemble at the 2013 Behind the Voice Actors Awards.[33]
During the controversy surrounding SpongeBob's sexuality, Mrs. Puff's name began to be criticized for supposedly referring to the slang term "puff," a descriptor of gay men that can be derogatory or affectionate. The BBC first noted this in reports of the controversy in 2002[34] and again in 2004.[35] In a 2005 issue of the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, columnist David Grimes challenged this interpretation, writing, "I do not consider [Mrs. Puff's name] damaging evidence. However, if SpongeBob were receiving lessons from Mr. Puff, that would be an entirely different matter."[36] K. Sobschak of the St. Catharines Standard also denounced the debate, asking, "What is wrong with taking boating lessons from a fish? This is a comedy for kids."[37] The National Expert Commission of Ukraine on the Protection of Public Morality revived the criticism of Mrs. Puff's name in 2012, citing it as one of the reasons for an attempted nationwide ban of the program.[38][39] Mediaite Editor-in-Chief Andrew Kirell questioned this decision, asking rhetorically, "What's so offensive there? Well, 'puff' is a term often used to describe a gay man, as if Ukrainian children knew that."[40]
Mrs. Puff's quotes and voice have also become popular with fans and casual viewers. The Sun writer Esther Cepeda humorously referred to Mrs. Puff's catchphrase "Oh, SpongeBob!" as "immortal words" in a 2011 article.[41] Her quote "Oh, Neptune" became part of an Internet meme in 2016.[42] Various memes covered by the comedy websites Smosh[43] and BuzzFeed[44] have featured other quotes from the character. In an interview with San Diego Gay & Lesbian News, the cast of Surprise Surprise (which starred Mary Jo Catlett) mentioned that "not one cast or crew person on the movie let a day go by without calling some relative ... and handing their cell phones to Mary Jo to do her best 'Oh noooooooo, SpongeBob, nooooooooooo!'"[45]
In other media
Mrs. Puff has appeared in many types of SpongeBob SquarePants merchandise, including action figures,[46] aquarium ornaments,[47] and video games.[48][49] Tie-in books have prominently featured the character.[50][51] Board games based on the show, such as The Game of Life and Bikini Bottom Book of Games, use her schoolhouse as a playing location.[52][53] In 2007, a Lego construction set based on Mrs. Puff's school was released.[54] SpongeBob's Boating Bash, a 2010 racing video game, centers on Mrs. Puff and takes place at the boating school.[55][56] Mrs. Puff is a playable character in the Wii version,[57] and acts as a guide for the player in the Nintendo DS game.[58]
Theme parks and events have featured Mrs. Puff, often as a costumed character. She was included on a boating school float as part of Sea World Australia's SpongeBob ParadePants parade, which opened in December 2011.[59] She appeared at Universal Studios Hollywood's "SpongeBob Fan Shellabration" in 2013,[60] and at the 2015 SpongeBob SquarePants 400 in Kansas City.[61] Mrs. Puff also made regular appearances at Nickelodeon Suites Resort and Nickelodeon Universe with Mr. Krabs.[62][63] A section of the SpongeBob StorePants souvenir shop at the Universal Orlando Resort is modeled after Mrs. Puff's boating school.[64]
In 2011, Mary Jo Catlett provided the voice-over for a road traffic safety commercial hosted by Mrs. Puff. It was produced by Nickelodeon and Toyota as the first in a series of SpongeBob advertisements from the two companies. The 30-second infomercial incorporated clips from the fifth-season episode "Boat Smarts" along with new content.[65] Catlett also sings a track as Mrs. Puff on The Best Day Ever album, titled "Mrs. Puff's Boating School Ad".[66] It was released on September 12, 2006, by Nick Records.[67] Rita Engelmann, who voices Mrs. Puff in the German dub of SpongeBob SquarePants, recorded a single as her character titled "Hinterher! (feat. Mrs. Puff)".[68] The song is a parody of Icona Pop's "I Love It" and was released in 2014 by Sony Music Entertainment.[69] Mrs. Puff is mentioned in the book Shingaling, a 2015 sequel to Wonder.[70]
Mrs. Puff plays a small role in the 2004 film The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and its 2015 sequel.[71] Her lack of screen time in both movies was criticized. Jessica Walsh of the Reading Eagle felt that the first film was "missing something, since key characters, such as Sandy the Squirrel and Mrs. Puff, make only cameo appearances".[72] Sandie Chen of Common Sense Media wrote that the decision to relegate characters like Mrs. Puff to small roles "won't go over well with some fans".[73] About.com's Nancy Basille considered this the first movie's biggest flaw and asked, "why didn't they use more of Squidward, Mr. Krabs, Gary, Mrs. Puff and all our other favorite secondary characters?"[74] The novelization of the 2004 movie includes additional scenes starring Mrs. Puff and Squidward that were not in the motion picture.[75] Mrs. Puff appears in the 2009 stage adaptation of "The Sponge Who Could Fly",[76] which debuted at the Liverpool Empire Theatre. The 2016 musical based on the series stars Abby C. Smith as Mrs. Puff.[77]
SpongeBob's inability to pass Mrs. Puff's course has been referenced in popular culture. In 2011, ice hockey player Taylor Hall failed his driving test and likened it to SpongeBob's situation at Mrs. Puff's school.[78][79] The writers of Engadget compared a remote-controlled, underwater camera to the boats in SpongeBob, remarking that Mrs. Puff should call her insurance agent if users channel their "inner SpongeBob while remotely driving the thing".[80] In a satirical 2011 article, writers at The Washington Post pretended to interview SpongeBob about his trouble graduating from Mrs. Puff's boating school.[81]

text: The Internet has significantly changed the way in which our society connects with one another, does business, and socializes. Most social-network companies are internet-primarily based and provide means for users to interact over the Internet, corresponding to by e-mail , by prompt messaging and through online forums. Social-network companies, though in a broader sense, a social-network service normally supplies an individual-centered service whereas online neighborhood companies are group-centered.\n\nSocial networking sites enable users to share ideas, digital pictures and videos, posts, and to inform others about online or real-world activities and events with folks in their network. There have been attempts to standardize these companies to avoid the need to duplicate entries of associates and interests (see the FOAF commonplace).\n\nThe range and evolving range of stand-alone and built-in social networking companies in the online house introduces a challenge of definition. Such a broad definition would counsel that the telegraph and telephone had been social networking companies – not the Internet technologies scholars are intending to describe.\n\nNonetheless, due to the nation's high Internet penetration fee, the first mass social networking web site was the South Korean service, Cyworld , launched as a blog-primarily based web site in 1999 and social networking features added in 2001. Internet-primarily based social networking companies make it attainable to connect people who share interests and activities across political, economic, and geographic borders.\n\nIn accordance with the communication principle of uses and gratifications, an rising number of individuals wish to the Internet and social media to meet cognitive, affective, personal integrative, social integrative, and pressure free needs. In numerous situations a candidate who would possibly otherwise have been hired has been rejected as a result of offensive or otherwise unseemly pictures or comments posted to social networks or appearing on a newsfeed.

Packed with nourishing protein and essential fatty acids, and suitable for a variety of meals and recipes. From smoothies and salads to breakfast bowls or desserts, hemp seeds are an excellent choice for anyone looking to eat healthier and incorporate more nutrients in their daily regimen.
Hemp seeds are full of essential nutrients
Shelled through a no-heat mechanical process that preserves the nutritional benefits of the plant, the hemp seeds produced by Elixinol are convenient, delicious and richer in protein and omegas than chia or flax seeds. A whole food with nutty flavor and tender crunch, hemp seeds are ideal for the busy modern life as they contain all of the essential amino acids, making hemp a complete protein. Besides providing the ideal ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, hemp seeds are an excellent source of minerals like magnesium and phosphorus, and are a great replacement for animal sources of protein in vegetarians and vegans.
Hemp seeds are dense and nourishing, being perfect for pre- and post-workout meals, as well as for maintaining a healthy digestive system and elevating energy levels. Colored in a creamy white shade and providing only 140 calories per serving (180 grams), our seeds have a fresh smell and an oily texture. They are a light and tasty source of folate, vitamin B6, niacin, riboflavin, vitamin E, iron, calcium, zinc, copper and manganese.
Why are the vitamins and minerals in Hemp Seeds important?
Folate or vitamin B9 is needed for the formation of white and red blood cells in the blood marrow, for the carbohydrate metabolism and the production of DNA. Vitamin B6 is involved in a wide variety of functions, from protein metabolism to cognitive development and immunity. Niacin or vitamin B3 helps in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system and metabolism, and supports the brain function and health of the skin.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps in fighting against damaging free radicals and in preventing chronic diseases, while iron helps in carrying the oxygen from lungs throughout the body and prevents anemia. Calcium is needed for keeping the bones strong, ensuring the proper functioning of muscles and vascular contraction and dilation, as well as the nerve transmission and hormonal secretion. Zinc is required for immunity, DNA synthesis, healthy growth and wound healing.
Hemp seeds are an extremely versatile ingredient
Soft and buttery, the Elixinol hemp seeds are suitable for people of all ages. Although more nourishing when used raw, you can also add them to baked goods such as protein breakfast muffins.
These seeds will not germinate, so you cannot use them for growing your own plants. However they're extremely versatile as they can be added to virtually any meal you prepare, from pasta dishes to pastries and stir fries. Delivered in resealable bags that maintain freshness, taste and smell for longer, our hemp seeds are organically produced, containing no additives or preservatives. They also make a smart choice for those on a low-carb diet.
If you would like to become healthier, try our Hemp Seeds – they are inexpensive, organic and provide a fantastic source of essential nutrients and proteins for your body!

Conclusions The addition of MNBs to culture medium offers an innovative approach for the oxygenation of transplantable tissue, such as islet cells. This study demonstrated that MNBs filled with air provided the most optimal addition to the islet cell culture medium for improving islet cell survival amongst the treatment groups we tested. Given these findings, we hypothesize that MNBs may also improve the oxygenation and survival of a variety of other tissues, including fat grafts from lipoaspirate, chronic wounds, and solid organs.

BOT001: Orang - Everyone EP
The debut release from one of Kuala Lumpur's brightest talents: 'Everyone' sees Orang twist pop conventions to his advantage, and as a unique way of spinning intense deliberations on self and identity into a patchwork of deceptively-charming melodies, patterns and grooves
BOT002: Adam Kasturi - Camo
Among Adam's most melodic and thematic work to date, the release comes to you as an introspective 12-minute voyage through tense urban landscapes; punctuated by relieving arpeggios, meticulous percussive details and inescapably laced with the enigmatic producer's signature industrial undertones
BOT003: similarobjects - Etheric
Two-track release from similarobjects; introducing aquatic new depths and euphoric highs to the hard-working Manila-based producer's prolific resume.
A case study in compare and contrast; cascading harps and hypnotic signal tones paint 'Gersisa' with an ominous momentum, while jazzy keys peek out and ultimately flourish from far below surface-level on 'Blueprint to Atlantis'.
BOT004: wALLED GARDEN VOL. 01
The first in a series of free compilations showcasing a breadth of new music from across Southeast Asia.
Half an hour in length, the release features underground artists from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. A diverse range of styles and approaches reflect the fertile and experimental regional scenes flourishing 'between the cracks' of an increasingly complex online musical landscape.
Six-track EP by experimental Malaysian drummer Reza Othman, otherwise known as Rao. Fully-formed but deliberately unpolished, the release presents itself as a meditation of found sounds, ambient samples and ultimately enthralling DIY sonic landscapes.
Second edition in our compilation series focused on regional producers quietly flourishing between the cracks of an increasingly complex online musical landscape.
A shade under 30 minutes, the release features artists from Malaysia (PRIMADONA, Moslem Priest), Singapore (Intriguant, Night Dives), The Philippines (Sylfiden) and Indonesia (BLLISS); covering a diverse musical spectrum traversing hazy house, tropical electronica, fringe club and classical piano through to esoteric ambient.
Debut EP Liminal Being from Brooklyn-based Malaysian producer wanhanzan. Harnessing a period of personal uncertainty with focus and precision, the artist introduces themselves with both a deft touch for kinetic, pulsating electronic rhythms and a meticulous ear for detail over four driving cuts condensed into a tidy 16 minutes.
Whether drawing from Asiatic scales, warped white noise or intentionally-muddied samples of world newscasters reporting on the producer's native Malaysia, 'Liminal Being' is an enthralling first listen from an artist to watch

"Most people who have been lean their whole lives have a much better understanding of proper portion size than people who are overweight," says Deborah Riebe, Ph.D., a professor in the department of kinesiology at the University of Rhode Island. "If they go out to eat, they're much more likely to ask for a doggie bag right away or to leave food on their plate rather than cleaning it up."
If you are always on the run and tackle the streets of New York City every day, searching for an everlasting balance between your work and yourself, including your health, this is the blog you need to stop and take a good look at. After diving into a greasy and unhealthy diet and declined every gym membership card that got in her way, Theodora, the creator of this blog, decided to change all of that. So, she went on a search for a happier and healthier life, through her process, she lost about 50 pounds, and discovered a way how to stay fit and healthy while being in the heart of NYC. She started running, took up those membership gym cards, and followed a nutritious meal plan, she finally got to her goal. Now, she is working her dream job, still running through the streets of the Big Apple, and making it all work because she is fitter and healthier than ever before!
Nuts have a very high satiety power—meaning they make you feel fuller after eating than many other foods. And even though they're high in calories, those calories appear to be processed differently in the body. University of Michigan researchers found that men who added 500 calories' worth of peanuts a day to their diet gained no excess weight at all.
The sad truth is that conventional ideas – eat less, run more – do not work long term. Counting calories, exercising for hours every day and trying to ignore your hunger? That's needless suffering and it wastes your time and precious willpower. It's weight loss for masochists. Eventually almost everyone gives up. That's why we have an obesity epidemic. Fortunately there's a better way.
About: If ever there were a husband-wife duo who had the chops to back up what they're selling, it's Hilda and Randy. And the good news? They're not really "selling" you anything. They're two people who care about their faith and want to use their own experiences getting healthy using a low-carb diet to help guide others to wholesome wellness, too. Randy lost more than 70 pounds and overcame Type II diabetes and hypertension, and Hilda is a survivor of the Guillan Barre Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. Now, both of them are pastors who blog delicious, healthy recipes, plus insightful, impactful truths about finding health and wholesome lives. Pretty powerful stuff.
Wow! I truly believe that I read this post today for a reason! I have been taking anxiety medication for the past 5 years and have gained almost 70 lbs in these 5 years. I've literally gone to doctor after doctor about my weight gain and no one could determine why I've gained so much weight. I've literally gone back and forth about quitting cold turkey and was so fearful about the withdrawl side effects. I feel like my weight gain is causing more anxiety than why I'm on the medicine to begin with. I can't thank you enough for sharing your story and motivating me. Thank you!!
Time in front of the TV: We love a DVR-athon, too, but people who tuned in for two or more hours daily had weaker back and ab muscles (by up to 10 percent) than those who viewed less than two hours, regardless of their overall activity level, researchers from the University of Oulu note. An hour of tube time is fine, especially if it motivates you to hit the gym. Worthy of watching: Smallville's Tom "Clark Kent" Welling and Justin "Green Arrow" Hartley, whose super fly abs sure make us want to breathe heavier.

About: No, Amanda's blog title is not referring to those delicious chocolate treats— or dancing— or a dog after he gets in from the rain. "Shakes" is Amanda's long-time nickname and, it just so happens, it also turned into the perfect way to describe her blog. Amanda is an outspoken advocate of having a positive body image and maintaining a common sense healthy lifestyle. She also posts her very real struggle with depression and overcoming her own demons when it comes to sense-of-self. It's that authenticity that makes for a compelling read that will leave you wanting to check back in every single day. Plus, her top post features a visually stunning photo array of what a typical weekday looks for her.

So she started researching. She found something called the 21-Day Meal Plan, which seemed like it would work with their lives. The plan showed them what foods they could eat and what they should skip.

About: A brand new blogger, Nikki's trying to achieve wellness and healthy living, but what she's really best at is getting product freebies and reviewing them so you know what works (and what doesn't) when it comes to weight loss, fitness, beauty, you name it.

Sometimes, to whip your body into shape, you have to get a little nutty. While nuts are high in fat, it's that very fat that makes them such powerful weapons in the war against a ballooning belly. In fact, research from Reina Sofia University Hospital reveals that study participants who consumed a diet rich in monounsaturated fats, like those in nuts, over a 28-day period gained less belly fat than their saturated fat-consuming counterparts while improving their insulin sensitivity.
So it's no wonder that losing weight and getting in shape are among the most popular resolutions year over year, because so many people can't keep them; 80% of New Year's resolutions fail by February. So Moneyish spoke with several leaders in the field of obesity research and prevention who have reviewed the science surrounding weight gain and loss to explain what to eat and avoid; how much exercise you need and which workouts work best; as well as their tips for making these moves a part of your new, well-balanced life in the New Year.
Want to hear a cliche story about how a guy loses weight? Want to stop swearing while you are trying to lose some weight? You are in the right place! This guy was borderline obese until the age of 25, and he was literally the one who made the geeks in gym class look good. When he met the love of his life, he decided that before proposing to her, he would get in shape – and this is how the title for this blog was created. His name is James Fell, and he is incredible! Even though his weight loss process took a lot of time, it taught him a lot of valuable lessons – he now knows how to eat healthier, how to respect his body, learned the value of slow and steady work, and how to develop passion for physical activities. The thing he realized is that yes, you can have good genetics and work out just a bit, and be fit and healthy, but what you can do is that you can also make yourself do the program and work your body until you make it. This is a fun blog through which you can learn a lot, including how to never stop working on yourself, from every aspect in life.
What a great article. Are you sure you weren't writing about me? (LOL) But your 12 tips are fantastic. One of the biggest challenges I found was not starting a weight loss program, but sticking with it! Oh just this once I can have that donut or slice of cake, etc. One piece isn't going to hurt right? Your article was not only very, very, helpful and informative, but also inspiring. Thank you for pointing out that you CAN achieve your goals! Thanks for a really great post, I enjoyed reading it!
Hi Karen! I haven't dealt with chronic pain and fatigue myself, so my experience is pretty limited in that area. I would encourage you to move however you can without overdoing it. There is a woman who is going through this herself who talk about that here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWiu-u3Liww) and there are all kinds of gentle workouts available. There is a bed workout here (http://www.domorebemore.net/getfit/bed-workout-easy-workout-chronic-pain-fatigue/) and more workout suggestions here (https://www.prevention.com/fitness/fitness-tips/best-workouts-chronic-pain-and-fibromyalgia). I hope that helps!
A little garlic in your meals could mean a lot less weight around your middle. The results of a Korean study found that mice given a high-fat diet supplemented with garlic lost significantly more weight and abdominal fat than those who just ate fatty foods. Even better, they also improved their liver health, making it easier to stay healthy and burn off that excess fat in the long term. For more flavorful ways to make your food more enjoyable, turn to the 20 Spicy Recipes That Fire Up Your Metabolism and watch those pounds melt away.
At breakfast, go ahead and drink orange juice. But throughout the rest of the day, focus on water instead of juice or soda. The average American consumes an extra 245 calories a day from soft drinks. That's nearly 90,000 calories a year—or 25 pounds! And research shows that despite the calories, sugary drinks don't trigger a sense of fullness the way that food does. Find out how many calories in a pound you'll need to shed to lose weight.
Hi Abby! I think it's wonderful that you want to get and stay healthy! Good for you! I wish I had some miracle advice and I do want to clarify that I'm not a doctor so this advice is purely coming from my own experience, but I'm probably just going to be repeating what everybody else already says! Eat healthy. Fill your diet with fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Try to limit the junk food, but also don't make it off-limits for yourself, because that may just make you want to eat it more! Stay active. Try to find things you like doing, so that you enjoy and look forward to exercise, whether that's a sport or running or yoga or going on long walks. And do things to work on your self-confidence. A lot of people believe that you gain confidence after you reach your goal of losing weight, but I found that it was when I started having a better self-esteem that I lost the most weight! Good luck, Abby! Keep me updated!
Display trust elements. "Trust elements" sound fancy, but what I mean is quite simple. Whenever other website mentions you in one way or the other, put their logo in your sidebar and label it "Websites talking about me" or something similar. The point is to prove that other sites see you as a real, credible person. If you don't have any of those yet then don't worry, the day will come.
Mindfulness matters. "If you slow down and stop just mindless eating, you often realize you don't need to eat as much as you thought you did; you're already full," said Dr. Steinbaum." Part of this is watching portion sizes, which have ballooned in restaurants over the past 40 years, leading adults to consume an average of 300 more calories per day now than they did in 1985. Did you know that one serving of bread is actually just one slice? Or one serving of pasta or rice is just half a cup? And a serving of cheese is only two ounces, or the size of a domino? You're probably eating much more than you realized. "There have been multiple studies that see keeping a food journal is effective," said Dr. Steinbaum. "When you start paying attention, you can really see what you're doing."
About: If the title of the blog alone doesn't get you (it sure did for us), Neale's hilarity soon will. When he started losing weight, Neale weighed in at 425 pounds. Now, he's down 190 pounds — and he did it with no pill, shakes, short cuts or surgery. As Neale puts it, he's had many people ask him the secret to his success — hence, the blog. Oh, and did we mention he's a professional ventriloquist? So cool.
I made my way around the interwebs with my friend Google and found The Retired Dieter, a blog devoted to IF and is extremely informative and informative. From there Eat, Stop, Eat and The Fast 5 (both e-books) presented themselves, followed by Martin Berkhan at Lean Gains, Getting Stronger and Fitness Black Book – more great blogs all containing scads of helpful info on Intermittent Fasting.
Jennette Fulda is a writer, web designer, and weight loss blogger. Jennette used her blog (previously named Pasta Queen) as a place to stay motivated and hold herself accountable throughout her weight loss journey. At one point in her life, Jennette weighed 372 pounds before losing almost 200 pounds through a healthy diet and exercises program. In addition to her blog, she has also documented her journey in two books, a memoir titled "Chocolate & Vicodin: My Quest For Relief From The Headache That Wouldn't Go Away", and "Half-Assed".
I would think a lot about exercise. Especially when I was watching TV. I remember "the Bean." The Bean was going to get me to exercise without fear of hurting my back and give me a six pack. I made a promise to myself as I was dialing the number on my TV screen, "You are definitely going to exercise this time." Yet the 1st time I blew up that bean (you have to fill it with air), boom -- I hurt my back. I quit.
Whole foods include fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, whole grains, eggs, seafood, chicken and so on. Food philosophies may differ around which of these foods to emphasize, but that's okay, since the evidence shows that there isn't a single best way to lose weight. The goal is to select an approach that feels sustainable to you. If you can easily live without pasta, perhaps a low-carb method centered around veggies and quality proteins, like seafood, chicken, and lean beef would be a good fit. Vegans and vegetarians can lose weight by choosing fruits, vegetables, whole grains and plant proteins. Nut lovers may do well shedding pounds with a Mediterranean-style menu. Whatever diet appeals to your appetite and way of life, focusing on whole foods is something that all plans promote.
Low-calorie diets are also referred to as balanced percentage diets. Due to their minimal detrimental effects, these types of diets are most commonly recommended by nutritionists. In addition to restricting calorie intake, a balanced diet also regulates macronutrient consumption. From the total number of allotted daily calories, it is recommended that 55% should come from carbohydrates, 15% from protein, and 30% from fats with no more than 10% of total fat coming from saturated forms.[citation needed] For instance, a recommended 1,200 calorie diet would supply about 660 calories from carbohydrates, 180 from protein, and 360 from fat. Some studies suggest that increased consumption of protein can help ease hunger pangs associated with reduced caloric intake by increasing the feeling of satiety.[4] Calorie restriction in this way has many long-term benefits. After reaching the desired body weight, the calories consumed per day may be increased gradually, without exceeding 2,000 net (i.e. derived by subtracting calories burned by physical activity from calories consumed). Combined with increased physical activity, low-calorie diets are thought to be most effective long-term, unlike crash diets, which can achieve short-term results, at best. Physical activity could greatly enhance the efficiency of a diet. The healthiest weight loss regimen, therefore, is one that consists of a balanced diet and moderate physical activity.[citation needed]
About: Shae is a Wichita native, and, as she puts it, she is "not skinny." But she's blogging about fitness and healthy eating anyway, with a few (ok, a lot) of complaints. Her blog features an impressive combination of her quirky, laugh-out-loud style and visually stimulating photos that tell the story or show the recipes as well as the writing itself does. Once you start reading, strap in. Because you're not going to want to stop.
And that's not just the junk food sabotaging your diet, or the time suckers keeping you from working out. We're also talking about the fad diets, fitness trends and questionable studies that have made reaching and maintaining a healthy weight more confusing than ever by promising this superfood or that super intense workout is the quick fix to tip the scale in your favor. (They've also spawned a $66 billion weight loss market.)
Losing belly fat shouldn't mean strict dieting or deprivation. "People often think that you have to eat certain foods or avoid certain foods [to lose weight] and in reality, it comes down to eating more of a balanced diet that is portion- and calorie-controlled," says Zeratsky. "This allows your body to have enough energy to do what it wants to do while managing weight."
There is a "serious and evolving" situation with an active shooter in Christchurch, New Zealand, police commissioner Mike Bush said. In a statement read on TV 3 New Zealand, police said one person was in custody. Police said there are a number of causalities but did not specify how many. CBS News partner Newshub affiliates Erin Speedy, Tova O'brien, Thomas Mead have more.

Considering that only 1 in 10 Americans meet their produce requirements, it's pretty safe to say you need to eat more veggies. And no matter what food philosophy you subscribe to, veggies are a big part of the program. Vegetables have a lot going for them: They fill you up for very few calories, and they flood your body with the nutrients it needs to fight diseases, like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers.

Glad you started to work out! It took me to my mid 30's before I started to workout! Now I do it at least 5 times a week! You feel so much better about yourself and your doing something good!! I'm glad you have a family that supports your healthy eating! Sometimes it can be hard when they don't!!! Keep up all the great work and keep educating yourself on a healthy lifestyle!

I laid on the floor, crying, and said "so this is being an adult." Then I belly laughed. ⠀ My feelings were all over the place, stress was present but it wasn't unbearable, I had a lot of work, but not too much that I was drowning, Cooper was gone, but I knew he was okay and happy with his dad—I was seemingly okay, but I didn't feel okay. ⠀ So I did what I do when I feel off, I reach into my toolbox and grab the tool that makes the most sense in that moment. First, it was calling a friend. She allowed me to cry. Knowing that I didn't want advice, I just needed someone to receive my vulnerability without judgement. ⠀ I laid on the floor because I liked the way the pressure of my body felt on the ground. I cried, well, I sobbed. I was in pain and my body hurt. She listened, and then said something that made me laugh. Within moments I was in the depths of pain, then belly laughing. "So this is being an adult", I said. But looking back now, it has nothing to do with being an adult, but being a human. Allowing ourselves to feel the full range of human emotions without fucking judging them. ⠀ Self care can feel like a bunch of bullshit and fantasy land ideas. So how can you filter the BS and get through your hard as hell moments? 👉🏽Don't focus on being 100% better. Try just 1%. Because 1% is a whole hell of a lot better than nothing. By the way, this crying ordeal was last night—we all have bad days and moments and adulting is hard AF sometimes. As I was about to hang up the phone, I said "I feel 3% better". Not 1, or 2, I felt a confident 3% better. That, was progress. ⠀ Maybe you need to draw your feelings, cry them out, dance them out, call a friend and just speak, yell, masterbate, breathe, watch a show, mediate—whatever you need to do, remind yourself that 1⃣ you're so human. You're imperfect and it's okay to have off days. 2⃣ self care is all about trial and error. Adjust and pivot with each present moment. 3⃣ 1% better IS better. Reframe what progress looks like to you 💓
Don't get me wrong — exercising at any time is good for you. But evening activity may be particularly beneficial because many people's metabolism slows down toward the end of the day. Thirty minutes of aerobic activity before dinner increases your metabolic rate and may keep it elevated for another two or three hours, even after you've stopped moving. What that means for you: You're less likely to go back for seconds or thirds. Plus, it'll help you relax post meal so you won't be tempted by stress-induced grazing that can rack up calories, quickly.
Wow, sharing your journey has encouraged me. I have been overweight since middle school (junior high was what they called it in my day). I have been on many diets, while some worked, some didn't. I know that I need to get my weight off to improve my health (diabetes) and just to look and feel better. I appreciate your thoughts on losing weight and I am very thankful that you include God in your journey. Thank you for your help in getting me on track. I look forward to reading more of your blog. Hope your day is blessed.
If you're practicing IF and you're not seeing any results, consider counting your calories for a few days to see where you're at. Calories do still count! And while IF makes the calorie restriction necessary for weight loss easier and less noticeable, it is still possible to over do it and eat an too many calories during your eating window that halt your fat loss progress.
Well done to you I am totally amazed at your will power (that you feel you don't have) but believe me you definitely have something in there that you don't give yourself enough credit for. I'd call it stamina. You did great to loose all the weight and make the decision to do it. You won a battle gazillions of people have given up on years ago. Well done. You should be very proud of yourself. This is a great inspirational and truthful piece.
Unintentional weight loss can occur because of an inadequately nutritious diet relative to a person's energy needs (generally called malnutrition). Disease processes, changes in metabolism, hormonal changes, medications or other treatments, disease- or treatment-related dietary changes, or reduced appetite associated with a disease or treatment can also cause unintentional weight loss.[26][27][28][32][33][34] Poor nutrient utilization can lead to weight loss, and can be caused by fistulae in the gastrointestinal tract, diarrhea, drug-nutrient interaction, enzyme depletion and muscle atrophy.[28]
About: Michelle's first pregnancy was one of the best times of her life, but it was also a time when she gained weight. After her little one was born, Michelle started up her blog as a way to chronicle her weight loss and all her activities being a first-time mom. She lost nearly 60 pounds in six months, and is great if you're looking for someone to follow who tries out new diets, fitness routines, healthy recipes and more. Oh yeah, and her crafts are amazing.
Keep researching. I've recovered from sciatica pain, lost 19 lbs, dramtically reduced my cholesterol and lowered by blood pressure from 137/93 to 125/89 in 3 months ! Read Dr Greger's book: "How Not to Die" and Dr Campbell's book: "The China Study." Watch the documentary "Forks Over Knives." Look up Dr Ornish, Dr Barnard and Dr Esselstyn. I'm convinced that eliminating all (or almost all) animal protein from your diet is the way to go. There's a mountain of evidence that shows a whole food, plant based diet can prevent many cancers including prostate and breast cancer and even reverse many major diseases like heart disease (Dr Esselstyn). Dairy is very bad for you, your patients and your kids. But, don't take my word for it, you're a doctor, do the research. Dr Greger's book references thousands of studies. May be the best place to start.

In January of 2010, I was home from work, and I was flipping through the On Demand channels and I saw a circuit training workout "Boost Your Metabolism" from Jillian Micheals. I hadn't a clue who she was, but I did the workout and I thought I was going to die! I couldn't walk for 3 days and I was sore as hell. That's when I knew I was out of shape and needed to up my exercise, because walking wasn't enough anymore. At that time I also started my Getting in Shape 2010 group on Facebook. I needed a place to share healthy living, get support because I wasn't getting that at home and to learn from others.

Has it ever happened to you to take a look at yourself in the mirror and not like what you see? Do you find yourself often sitting in front of the TV or in your kitchen, chewing on some food you know is not good for you? How does that make you feel? And finally, do you ever dream about having the perfect figure, and the perfect lifestyle, inside and out?
I saw a post on pinterest for your pumpkin spice drink and started clicking around! Congratulations on your weight loss! I have just started working out regularly for the first time (just about) in my whole life. But what I've been learning slowly, even before I began the physical regimen, is how important it is to eat real food. Thanks to people around me who love food and their families health enough to really get informed about it, I've been seeing just how misinformed we are and how duped we can be by clever marketing that claims to be "healthy". When I learned where skim milk comes from and how it's made (and, for instance that it's used to fatten pigs up) and that real dairy fats (in moderation) are linked to weight loss but "fat-free" items quite the opposite, I was stunned! Then I thought, of course! People were eating the real things long before heart disease and obesity ravaged our culture. When you start to learn about real nutrition instead of what we've been sold by industries, it can be a really great weight loss tool. And, I have to say thank you for using things like coconut milk in some of your recipes! I have a dairy intolerance and it's nice to know that for the pumpkin spice recipe, at least, I wouldn't have to tweak it myself!!! I look forward to reading more and trying some of your creations!
I am so obsessed with food but every time I look in the mirror it makes me feel so disappointed on myself. I did want lose weight but can't help to eat and eat more food, I already use all kinds of method on diet like keto, vegetarian, vegan etc. but it won't work because of my eagerness to eat foods. So, I began to research what can help me on losing my weight and to lose appetite and I saw this blimburnseeds.com/news/marijuana/news/media-tv/imprisoned-in-ecuador-for-carry-cannabis-seeds-and-paraphernalia-part-1/. A report from The American Journal of Medicine explains that regular marijuana use was associated with lower levels of fasting insulin and smaller waist circumference. Cbd and thc are also new to me and I don't even smoke. Alternatively, they've also found new ways to infuse cannabis on food and beverages. If this is true I can't find any solid conclusive evidence that speaks to its efficacy. Any personal experience or testimonial would be highly appreciated. Thanks
