If you cycle on a stationary bike, you'll burn about 300 calories an hour, depending on your weight and height.

So how does coffee enhance your health? Just curious here.

Poured a jelly mixture on my stomach and smoothed it out with a vibrator.

What is this post asking for? I'm clueless here.

It's amazing how that works!

Absolutely!

From the grocery store. Nothing fancy.

That's what scars do, whether you lose weight or not.

Yeah, 20 minutes. Since that's all you have to exercise. How much time do you have to eat?

Hi Suzette. Try 1200 calories a day, tops. Don't worry about exercise; as I assume you are going through some sort of physical therapy now. If not, you need to seek it. Don't give up.

As @ninerbuff said, stretch marks are scars. Scars will not go away, but will turn from bright red to white. I paid a couple of thousand dollars after my first pregnancy to a quack who claimed he had a method to get rid of my stretch marks and guess what? Didn't happen. Learn to love them, because you will definitely have…

Smoothies are way too much work and cleanup for me. Eat a Dannon Light Greek yogurt and a banana.

What is healthy eating to you? It might not be so healthy, as evidenced by your getting sick. I eat anything I want as long as it fits into my calorie goal. Perhaps you should do the same.

Drink more water.

^^^Yes!

Get on the scales every morning. When you get to a 2 pound increase, curtail your calories until it's back to where you were.

Eating out is the worst you can do! Restaurants make the simplest of meals into 2,000 calories. Three times a day, and guess what, you're going to gain weight. Do not the hotels you stay at have a scale somewhere?

Obviously! I prefer dark meat.

Please forgive me for saying it's fat cells instead of fat molecules. I'll be more careful in the future.

I am envious that you have Popeye's. I am from New Orleans, but have been in NC for 11 years and the nearest Popeye's is 25 miles away. ♫Love that chicken from Popeye's!♫

All you need for maintenance is a scale. Weigh yourself every day. If after a week your weight has gone up, then curtail your calories until it gets back down. Simple.

Actually, Costco sells dark meat rotisserie chicken for $4.99, which is about six to eight thighs/legs. Does "meh" mean good or bad?

Way too much trouble to skin and butcher. I prefer rotisserie chicken.

When I moved from a place that had a perfectly good two-mile track five miles away that was open and populated at 5:00 am to a place that had nowhere to walk within a ten-mile radius, and then there were no lights, bathroom, or other people - but lots of dogs - I started gaining weight like crazy.

Thank you! I am no longer confuzzled . . .

I prefer the word "calorie" instead of "kcal" because that's how I grew up. And yes, wisdom is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, but common sense knows that you don't include it in a fruit salad . . .

Deal with being hungry for a day or two. Drink water, go for a walk, do jumping jacks, whatever - the feeling will pass and you'll be just fine.

So kilocalories is the correct term, shortened to "kcal"?

That would be me. I have every calendar from about 1998 where I sporadically logged my weight and calories. I see where I went nuts before my son's wedding and lost 20 pounds in two months, then gained it back plus ten more in a year. I see now where I am losing. But there are lots of gaps in between.

I stopped drinking coffee in the 1990s. It's very expensive and has no value whatsoever to your health.
