I predict that the season will end with Rick cutting Negan's throat, and it will be a beautiful stand up and cheer moment.

Perfectly Punctuated Post!

I missed all the ostracizing because I'm always late to stuff like this. Do I need a sign or something?
-
Nobody believes them, until one day they just ... do. That's the power I was talking about.
-
True Christians believe there is actual power in those words as they are read. The amazing thing is that the story is just as familiar to your stepmother as it is to you ... maybe even more familiar, but in spite of that, she still ponders the mind-blowing hugeness of those words and it brings her to tears. I'd suggest…

Where I live there are no mountains, so all we have is Walmart and Check-Cashing stores.

There is a such thing as mountain climbing stores? I need to go outside more often.

I suggest that you really meditate on what I've bolded in the above quote. I know the stuff about food scale doesn't really apply, but the bolded stuff is wisdom that could help you get through this. Sounds to me like you're being careful, and have already seen some success. If you're sure that you are in a deficit, then…

I feel the same way about running in public, and if you're like me you are probably not helped by all the confident folks telling you to stop worrying about it and just be confident. You don't just put on confidence ... you have to have some victory first. Here's what I learned. The fact is, as you run you're body will…

This is really good information. Question: Is talking about about cooking utensils okay? because I really love cooking utensils (and office supplies), and I've always wondered if cool people like to talk about that stuff. ETA: I just noticed that cooking utensils and office supplies are things that I bought AND things that…

100 lbs lost AS OF this week (fixed your title for you. Right now it sounds like you had a really really good week) I've got nothing to add other than that, really. Congratulations on your success up till now ... you're in a place that not many people ever see. Breathing rarified air, so to speak. For that last 38 lbs ...…

You are probably doing it right ... rating your experience on how your body feels rather than an arbitrary speed/distance number. Set that treadmill where it feels right, and let the numbers fall wherever they want.
-
I have a suggestion to add to what others have said here. In my own experience, it is incredibly difficult to walk at a sustained steady pace for a given length of time outside. In fact, it's almost impossible to even know when I'm walking at a steady pace and when I'm not. A treadmill (as long as your weight falls within…

The pedometer is a moron?

No deeper meaning. Just similarities. I tend to overthink these things sometimes.
-
I think those correlations between drinking and eating are profound. In fact, they might even be helpful in adjusting our frame of mind when changing our eating habits. I personally don't believe in food addiction, so the comparison isn't necessarily "one for one," but there are clear similarities. Even the Christian Bible…

My problem is this: eating is a part of almost everything that I find joy in. If there is a celebration in my family, we eat. Major holidays, we eat. Going out on a date, we eat. Vacations, we eat. If I want to treat myself or someone I love in any way, we eat. My children have no idea what my favorite song is (I'm not…

I thought this was going to be one of those "______ the person above you" threads. I couldn't not look.

Am I on candid camera? You guys!
-
Bingo. We can only guess at the mother's motivation, and I sincerely hope she is acting in what she believes is the best interest of her child ... but what else besides money could compel a mom to trot her child into the spotlight for something like this? Santa Guy did a bad thing, no doubt about it ... but this whole mess…

Running is a fine form of exercise. A calorie furnace, for crying out loud. However, for overweight people it is dangerous, and precautions must be taken to avoid injury. The more weight one carries, the more dangerous it becomes. In fact, I think that any activity with inevitable injuries to the knee, calf, foot, or shin…
-
Yes. It really is.
-
Careful here. When I hear the words pacing and stamina, I think it implies one's ability to run for long distances. However, the advice to slow down is not really about using pacing to develop stamina in that sense. It's about injury. Running while overweight is incredibly (some might even say prohibitively) dangerous, and…

You seem very knowledgeable on this topic, and I'd like to thank you. I've learned much about the flu virus that I've never known before. In fact, I'd hate for you to think that I'm claiming greater knowlege of the science here. Not so. To answer your question (although I suspect your question was for @AlienMoon32), I'd…
-
Well done. Are flu jabs a civic duty? Probably not, but I can't continue against the idea of people doing their best, and you protecting your family members. Those are good things, as you've said. I'll simply shake your hand at this point (in a manner of speaking), and call it a day.
-
Thank you for clarifying. I appreciate the kind tone of your responses in this conversation. I don't believe there is anything wrong with the vaccination. In fact, I agree with the numbers you presented earlier ... namely that the vaccination is 16-76% effective against the strains that are included in the vaccine. Going a…
-
Just wanted to express my great respect for the author of the OP ... has only responded to the posters that have offered helpful suggestions. I feel like I've learned something here today.
-
Friend, I don't have the energy to sort through your vocabulary. From the little that I've been able to interpret, you seem to be agreeing that flu vaccines are ultimately ineffective except for fifty/fifty chance you have against the few strains that are included in the vaccine itself (versus the zero percent chance…
-
I agree with the bolded statement. I'm not against the flu shot, and I'm sure it's a great comfort to many people (as this thread proves) ... but let's not pretend that it is some kind of civic duty on par with other vaccines that are actually trying to eradicate certain diseases.
