The true value of daily weighing is the ability to follow the trend. If you weigh in once per week, how would you know if you are on a day that accurately represents your true weight? What if weigh in day happens to fluctuate up four pounds, or down four pounds. How would you know? If knowledge is power, what possible use…

You're question seems to be, "How can I accept myself for who I am while I become something different?" I think the only logical answer to that question is to wait and see who you become, and then put your energy into accepting that person for who they are. I'll give you some advice that I received and has meant a lot to…

I had to google it. Turns out my suspicions were correct ... I do NOT run in a morph suit

Seems legit to me. Someone needs to write this down somewhere.

In my opinion, you are right to be asking these questions BEFORE you marry this man. If it is causing you this much pain, then you need to seriously consider that before things go too far. As you can see from the couple of testimonials here on this thread, most people learn how to survive socially even with varying degrees…

I fully understand why a comment like this would be hurtful, but I sure hope Rebel Wilson doesn't read this thread ... Yikes! We're basically saying that her enduring legacy is purely cautionary ... that being asked to cosplay her was so horrifically painful that it changed a young girls life forever (hopefully forever).…

I'm impressed by this, because I can't do it that quickly.

I've never eaten a banana, because ... ew.

All of my photo albums are full of before photos ... I've been taking them my entire life. That being said, I do have my eye on a particular group of photos that I'm 100% certain are from my highest weight ever.

I play to keep at least one pair of pants from my highest weight so I can take one of those "big pants" before and after pictures. Gotta have a "big pants" picture.

Sweetie, you're drinking vinegar. Clearly taste is not important to you.

I'm 6' 6" ... but don't hate me because I'm tall. I've heard that lots of non-tall people lead normal productive lives.

OP, in your post you wrote, "she needs to lift weights because her body is used to the calorie burns and is storing fat." Can you explain what you mean by this statement? My first reaction to this post is to remind you that everyone has their own fitness goals, and lifting weights may not be a part of hers. Either way,…

AMEN @peggyasp So we're clear. Muscle absolutely weighs more than fat. We know this is true because @emily_fox inadvertantly proved her own argument wrong when she said "muscle is denser than fat." More density = More mass per volume. More mass = More weight (here on planet Earth). It's physics. You can't fight physics. So…

I've never heard the 2000 calorie rule. Is it a religious thing?
-
Agreed. I didn't mean to imply that I thought the OP's husband was correct. Rather I was pointing out someone's unfortunate misunderstanding of the original post.
-
Somewhere a reading comprehension teacher is banging her head on the desk ... The way I read the original post, she said "My husband thinks it's fat being replaced with muscle." That's not the same as fat turning into muscle.

I love when the "1 pound = 1 pound" people come in and thrash about. So funny! OP, I agree with most of the respondents here. According to the info you've presented, you're doing it right. Trust the process.

I'm feeling the same way as OP about running in public. I don't like it. People can say "no one cares," but it's not about people. It's about me. I don't like it. So ... I run in the evening, and I love it. It's cooler and quieter. Peaceful. I'm usually heading out about 9PM or so. I've discovered that running in the…

I just want to say amen to the bolded section above (the rest of it is a little ... question-y). Look, OP ... in your post you said you're addicted to "all food" not just junk food. Do your realize how lucky you are? I have about 20 or so things that I enjoy eating on a constant life-long rotation, but you have all food.…

Letting people see my diary definitely makes it difficult to log the eight Popsicles that I just ate in a single sitting. Or the 15 tablespoons of ketchup I used to scarf down a plate full of Ore-Ida crinkle cuts. However, that neurotic anxiety goes by another name around here. It's called accountability, and it is a…

Mark Rippetoe suggests "micro-loading" in his book Starting Strength ... Sorry I can't site chapter and verse, but I HIGHLY recommend the book. According to Rippetoe, it's important to continue a linear progression in the novice program, but sometimes the smallest plates are too heavy - especially for lifts like the bench…

@IsaackGMOON I can always appreciate someone demanding specificity of language ... as a matter of fact, I'm doing the exact same thing right now. You see, your argument really works best if someone says, "a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat." Then your reply makes perfect sense. In this particular instance,…

Won't something bad happen if you weigh a scale? Isn't it like dividing by zero? Data is simply not worth the terrible risk ... think of the children.

Judging by the fact that you were alive when you wrote this post, I'm going to assume that you actually ARE getting enough water. "Water" is a strange substance, in that "water" is not the only source of "water." As a matter of fact, "water" is in just about everything, so we're getting it from lots of different sources.…
