Biggest Loser
Okay, Biggest Loser litterally made me cry last night. I really thought Mark would be this season's biggest loser and to see him make that sacrifice and really care about his brother and the promise he made to the others was very respectable. I was hoping that Dan would be the one going home. I know he got imunity because…

I just have to share this story
I took my shih-terrier and my german shepard in for their shots. We were earily, so my daughter (3yrs) and I were walking the dogs around outside. This man takes out his male german shep and has it on this long rope. The dog ran right for us. I was going to grab my daughter and my german shep knocked her down and sat on…

RE The Answers ... from Viviakay
Thanks for the really good explanation, my take would be, eat less calories to lose weight, exercise to get into shape. But I do have a question that I just can't seem to get over: Let's say that my BMR is 2000 cals, I want to lose 1 pound a week, so that resets my calorie intake to 1500. If I exercise 300 cals a day, then…

A little (graphic) humor for the adults in the audience...
DISCLAIMER: Subject matter of a GRAPHIC nature! I apologize for anyone who might be offended. My boyfriend (who has been so supportive when our grocery shopping together takes twice as long because I stop to read every label) sent me this link. I thought it was pretty funny. Calories burned during sex:…

Man jokes
Men didn't find these funny, but the women did. What do you call a handcuffed man? Trustworthy. What does it mean when a man is in your bed gasping for breath and calling your name? You didn't hold the pillow down long enough. Why do only 10% of men make it to heaven? Because if they all went, it would be Hell. Why do men…

Newbies vs. Veterans
Holy cow, is this becoming and episode of MTV's "The Gauntlet"? I copy and pasted my own comment so it could reach a few more people... I know some of the "veterans" on this site get a bit wound up seeing the same questions over and over, but please keep one thing in mind... They may be repetitive questions to you but it's…

Thanks Jared!!!
Let us all take a moment to thank Jared for helping raise the cost of subway sandwiches and keeping them high. I remember 10 years ago (geez that seems so long ago!). I was straight out of highschool and was in college. I loved subway sandwiches so much that a few friends and I would go between class breaks and get a…

She has a great sense of motivation and I went to send her a message and check her progress and ... :ohwell: does that mean she doesn't want me as a friend anymore? Her user name is…

AMA website
ok so this site is a little techincal for the "layman", and these resources are really for doctors and health professionals, but what a great place to find information. And seriously, who can dispute information posted by the American Medical Association? I know I can't. http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/10931.html

Not regarding weight loss- but need help
Hey Guys! As you know its winter and cold/flu season. I'm having a terrible time going to sleep. I am so congested that I have bad pain in my forehead and under my eyes ( near the sinuses) Any ideas to alleviate that pain? Would some sort of headache relief like bayer work, or not, because its not truly a "headache" thanks!

what's better for breakfast - a bowl of special k or an oran
I'm wondering which breakfast option would be more conducive to weight loss. On the one hand, Special K promises to be healthy, but I'm worried it's just empty carbs. I don't have a kitchen so it would be inconvenient for me to prepare a more balanced meal than either of the two options. Any thoughts?

Travel scales...
We do a lot of camping and I was wondering if anyone knew of a "mini-scale" or something that you could use to weigh yourself with? We usually go for up to 3 weeks and of course, being on vacation, temptation is great. But the scale I have now is quite big - especially in a pop-up!

pretty funny facts
this is so funny. VERY INTERESTING STUFF In the 1400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have 'the rule of thumb' Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden'..and thus the word…

Remember to LIVE Life
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love…

Under the heading "You learn something new every day"
did you know that under your picture in any thread is how many times you have posted? And if you click on it, it will pull up all of YOUR recent posts (anybody's, not just your own)? Not the whole thread, just what was written by that person. I don't know how useful it is, but it's a cool thing I didn't know 5 minutes ago.…

20lbs to lose group.
Hey, I know we're all here for various reasons, though I was hoping to chat with people in the 20lbs to lose category.

Just wondering....…
