I think it's probably a small part sociopath, a small part uninformed but with good intentions, and the majority being influenced by the almighty dollarydoo. I mean, why do most of the woo-peddlers have their own store or have your company listed on the stock exchange? Granted, that can be said for the motivations of…

Your profile is closed so I can't see your stats OP, but if that is you in your profile pic, you are nowhere near the recommended weight for phentermine at all, let alone a 37.5mg dose. A dose that high is meant to be for people with a BMI in the 35-40+ range. As the above posters said, it may help you lose weight, but it…

As they say, it's easier to sell fear than truth (or in this case, good science, which is the same thing)

Mine was a culmination of a whole rang of things that happened over about a year, with the last 3 weeks being the straw that broke the camels back. Over a 3 week period back in 2014: - Had to buy a dress in the largest size available at the only decent plus size clothing chain for women in Australia. Cried in the dressing…

I believe that may have been in part stated in response to you saying "why wouldn't they pick a more profitable and easier business model". I'm not disagreeing that organic companies and farmers care with this next statement, but I'd like to add that the farmers who plant edible GE crops, they care about their end…

I'm actually appalled at organic marketing strategies. The majority of their advertising campaigns are scare tactics covered in a facade of pretending that their food is better for you, and by doing so insinuating that anything that isn't organic is worse, when in reality they're equal. 99.9% of food companies are for…

I'm 186cm (6'1ish), and whilst I haven't had people telling me to stop yet, I still have people trying to tell me what they think my weight should be. Since I haven't been at a healthy weight since my pre-teens, I don't even know what I should be weighing, but when I get there I will. at 96kg (210lbs) I'm in an AU14/16…

First of all, welcome to MFP! There's no menu at MFP (although there are lots of recipe ideas in the forums). The premise is that you'll lose weight if you consume less calories then you burn, i.e, the amount of energy (Calories) you get from your food is less than what your body needs, so it gets the rest from your fat…

I wish I had a cat so that they could lick my plasma globe....

I'm going to have another drink so I don't have to go home to my wife. This is the lingo of my mum n dad's generation; you don't hear too many speaking it these days. It's called rhyming slang.

Oh, like "nah, I'd rather have another gordon and gotch, so I don't have to go back to the trouble and strife"?

Totally. *kitten* tastes nothing like butter.

My favourite Aussie wording is how we'll always say the opposite of what we mean. Example: If you're having a bad day... "How's it goin'?" "Not to good mate, not to good." If you're having a good day... "How's it goin'?" "Aw yeah, not too bad" It's like we can't be completely committed to if it's a good or bad day until…

We picked green and gold because our national plant is the wattle tree... which is green, and you guessed it, gold... Otherwise our national colour would be kangaroo hide brown.

No probs. I just thought what OP was asking was something that would already be happening automatically if the accounts were linked, so thought I should clarify. Also OP, make sure your fitbit and mfp settings are all the same: timezone, weight loss plan (-1000, -500, -250Cals, etc). Also set your mfp activity level to…

you can actually link the two accounts, and fitbit will adjust the calories in mfp for you automatically. you keep logging your food as always in mfp, and just log your exercise through fitbit

That is a lot of weight to lose in what is in all reality a short amount of time. Is the 60lbs a number that the doctor said you need to lose in that time frame, or a number and time frame you've given yourself? If you set it yourself, check with the doctor if they're okay with it. If they're not, see what it is that they…

This. You need your ferritin and Tsat (transferrin saturation) tested as well as your haemoglobin. There's a difference between iron deficiency (low iron stores) and iron deficiency anaemia (low haemoglobin). Animal sources of iron are always absorbed better than vegetable sources of iron, and much better than most iron…

Lookie lookie! I did a thing I haven't done in ages! The feeling when I placed the salmon (with a burnt soy and mirin glaze) in with everything and it fit the space exactly was awesome. It was like food Tetris.

Oh no... what have you done to me.... [whisper]*ringdingdingdingdingdi-dingdi-ding[/whisper]

I want to kiss Betty White on the cheek, then have her swear at me and give me a cookie.

All of this. I've had to change how I dress completely in the last year. When I realised this I took a gf from work with me and got her to just hand me clothes through changeroom doors without my opinion. There were some horrible choices, but also some awesome ones I never would have made without her that are major pieces…

I'm 3/4 through my success story. I'm 186cm /6'1 and started at 160kg (350lbs), currently 96kg (211lbs). Aiming for around the 75-80kg as an estimate; although I'll pretty much just stop when I feel I need to. I'm happy because I get to eat more than my shorter counterparts. On the other hand, I hate having to buy mens…

I don't believe it:P Contrary to my husbands opinion, my avatar is not a picture of me. I am more than a pair of eyes and a stomach. This is my profile pic because I think it's appropriate. When I get bored of it, it will change. Maybe to a photo of me.

Contrary to what my husband may believe, I am not just a pair of eyes and a stomach as my avatar suggests :D I have pictures of myself available in my profile, but it's just not habit for me to blare my picture out into the weberverse like I used to.

I'm yet to watch Panty and Stocking, but have been meaning to. My anime time has been eaten up by watching naked characters run around in Conan Exiles. And work. Stupid work. And if you love that style of humour, I say go for Shimoneta (Imagine a world where the concept of dirty jokes does not exist is the English title).…

The theme song to Death Parade has been my ringtone for a while now ^_^ If you liked Tokyo Ghoul, go for Parasyte the Maxim. Another good horror style anime

As a horrible boredom eater, all I can suggest is making sure you're always doing something with your hands, even in the break room. Keep yourself occupied. And I'm not talking about playing with your phone either. Get your knitting on, or get one of those physical puzzle solvers, or a fidget cube. Also, I agree with…

Or have a chance of eventually poisoning yourself, if it's a fat soluble vitamin, such as Vitamin A.

wow, i didn't even notice that. Still cool, but definitely not cool enough then. It actually makes men wonder who would actually spend that kind of money on it
