Mmmm. Butter. I'm actually going to try my hand at making my own.

It absolutely adds up regardless of whether or not you are "fitting it in" your calories. I was drinking wine daily (with my husband. Not alone LOL) and my weight was stalling and I was getting a gut. I counted calories, I weighed and measured food but wine was a HUGE portion of my calories, more often than not causing me…

@pjwithers1 I understand that you're new to the wine scene but the last thing I would recommend is going with a cheap low cal/low sugar wine. Yucky yuck yuck! It could possibly turn your palate against the deliciousness that is called wine. What I would suggest is to go to some tastings to see what you like. See if your…

Sure, if you have the space. If not then the only option is actually going to some sort of a gym.

<---- Pretty sure I'm not overweight. :)

Why do I need breakfast and 2 hours to digest it? I have never eaten before a morning workout. I have my breakfast afterwards.

Potato chips. I could easily polish off an entire bag in one sitting which is why I don't have them in the house.

Ahhh. I gotcha now. :)

Actually the microwave popcorn -- specifically the buttered kind -- and the BPA's in canned food is true. The pickled one is laughable as fermented foods are great for feeding your gut bacteria.

Serious question: How did neither one know who had the caffeine? Did they slip something clear and tasteless into the water? I mean if someone handed me a cup of coffee I'd totally know that I was getting caffeine!

But how is changing your height "using it correctly"? I bet if you changed your age -- made yourself younger -- the BF% would be different as well.

It's ok if you're just looking to keep track of your trend. I know that mine is off BF% wise as it will fluctuate in a huge way depending on time of day I weigh myself and how hydrated I am (I have tested it and it fluctuates 5%). As far as the calipers go: those aren't accurate either. The percentage of your BF will…

For some people yes, it is addictive. When someone consumes a lot of caffeine daily and then try to stop they experience withdrawal symptoms. I'm fortunate that I have never had that issue. I can go from drinking caffeinated coffee to decaf and have no ill effects.

If I don't get my coffee before my workout people will die. The lure of coffee is the only reason I get up at 5 a.m. to hit the gym! As to whether or not I get a "performance boost" from it I'm going to say no. It does make me more bearable to be around though.

I'll be honest but even when I was drinking a glass or two a night and fitting it into my calories my weight was stalling (and I do weigh and measure my food). I've since cut it out during the week and drink on the weekends only (typically Friday and Sunday) and not only do I feel better during the week but I've dropped a…

I typically make a smoothie after the gym -- or if I'm out of eggs like I am right now. I use home made yogurt, raw milk, frozen blueberries, protein powder and sometimes peanut or almond butter. I'm honestly not too concerned about the sugar because it's from the fruit and the milk. Calories can range from 230-400…

Yeah unfortunately once there's pee on the seat it's a downward spiral. Although when I'm drunk I realllllly don't care. I knew a guy who owned a janitorial business and he said that women were the most disgusting ones out there as far as bathrooms go. I completely agree with that.

Dang it! I wish I thought about raising the shower when we put it in years ago. Off to do my push ups now! I think there's still some kibble in my dogs bowl!

I can't even . . . butter or oil in coffee? No. Just. . . no.

No. I don't view exercise as an excuse to eat more. Never mind the fact that you could be grossly overestimating your calories "burned". Whatever my calorie goal is set to is what I eat regardless of exercise.

I've made plenty of strangers who have become friends who I have later met on the internet as well and they were exactly who they said they were. You really think that a real live flesh and blood person won't pretend to be someone they're not?

Cheese and chocolate aren't healthy? Since when?

*sigh*. I see a stranger as a friend I haven't met yet. I mean how else does one make friends if not with someone who was a stranger?

Now I wish it were Friday. :'(

I love the Prancersize lady!!

Should I position myself over the toilet to do those too?

You're not really burning calories when you squat to pee. Sorry. If you were then I'd weigh nothing with all the times I run to the bathroom. And why would I feel the need to squat over my own toilet which I know is clean?

Yeahhh . . . . no. Doubtful on all accounts.

That is one of the reasons why I like going out. I love getting dressed up, doing up my make-up, picking out the outfit I want to wear. Sometimes I'll start getting ready hours in advance so I can take my time, drink some wine, and just relax while I get dressed. I will say though that I am amazed at how many people don't…
