    This was hilarious. Congrats on your weight loss.

    I think we should all start saying that wine is our secret and make the office a little bit more fun.

    I lost all my weight by drinking wine (or sweet tea vodka) as soon as I get up in the morning! I like the sound of that.

    I seriously got tired of people giving me a disappointed response when I told them that I eat less and exercise more. So now I told them that I burn more calories by masturbating. That really shuts people up, lol

    But congrats on the loss and you should try green tea with mint. It's amazing!

    So did @tincanonastring and he got flagged numers times.

    Ooop! Numerous that is

    To be fair, I wasn't quite asked for that advice.

    Well, you should have been!

    I'm frequently get asked how I lost so much weight. I dread it, because I know I'm going to see disappointment on their faces when I tell them the cold, hard truth. *sigh* True story. Happened again just today.

    My favorite responses I've gotten when I tell people I count calories to lose weight:
    "I count calories."
    "Oh I tried that... but i would eat 1200 calories a day and not lose anything."

    and my recent favorite:

    "How do you count calories?"
    "Well I weigh every single thing I eat."
    "Oh... that's too much... I would rather be fat."

    Right!

    Of course green tea works! It is diuretic and helps you pee off all the calories from the pizza, big macs, milk shakes, donuts etc. And it cures cancer and reverse kidney failure too... *serious face*

    I drank my green tea while walking 3km to the train station after dropping my car in for a service. I'm going to attribute the calories burned to the magic drink, and not the 35 minute extra walk.

    So that means that because today is my rest day and I wont get in the run I normally do, I can blame a lack of weight loss on picking coffee over green tea instead?

    You're going to go into green tea starvation mode.

    Actually, I just ate a green tea cookie. Does that count?

    The green tea totally cancels out the cookie part. It's a negative calorie food.

    If you want to screw with the cow-workers...tell them you've been on the Chicken-in-a-can diet. Replace 2 meals a day with this gustatory delight.

    Weigh in tomorrow, I have a feeling it won't be that impressive. I must not have drunk enough green tea to offset the pizza.

    Next time, sprinkle green tea leaves on the pizza like oregano. Totally negates the calories.

    This is a fantastic idea. Question: If I don't have green tea, can I substitute cat nip? It's all I have.

    Every time I have a McChicken after I've been to the gym after midnight, I'm 1lb+ lighter when I wake up. I'm gonna be the Jared of McChickens!
