Oh dang so answering with "Drugs" wouldn't be advisable...

I've always heard that you build muscle based on what you do in the gym and lose weight based on what you do in the kitchen. Best of luck :)

What the others are saying is true, based on what I've seen. For some people, it's a reality check that helps them get their mind right. (If yout mind isn't right, the body won't be, either.) Another person I know lost a lot of weight afterwards, then managed to put it all back on. You're very young. I'm rather hesitant to…

I agree that water weight could be the culprit. However, I've been around long enough to have made mistakes and see other people make mistakes. My point is, make sure you're logging your calories accurately. I'm not trying to be offensive with the following: A woman in my office switched to 'healthy' salads and grossly…

I'm stuck in a rut and too lazy to do anything about it. I guess this isn't much of a 'vent' because that requires a build-up of pressure.

Oh, this is really good!

For real, I just looked in the pantry TWICE to see if I had any peanut butter.

Don't be like that.

My mom still lives in Blakely. She's had my little nephews this last week. She was going to drive them back down here tomorrow but my brother and I were like, "No! We'll drive up. We'll get some chicken!"

Man y'all stop being naughty about the peanut butter dang.

You people saying creamy will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

You can prefer chunky or you can be wrong. The choice is yours.

I'm no Buddhist at all. I don't meditate. I'm not spiritual nor do I believe in any of that stuff. And yet, I have said, on multiple occasions, "It's pretty much impossible for me to eat right unless my mind is right." That tells me that the mind and body need to be in accord. And I do believe that there is more than one…

No. Oh! Haha, thought you wanted me to share one of my biscuits.

Well then you'll understand the role Blakely Chicken plays in the rate of overweight people!

Pointers? Depends on which way you're trying to go. What are your goals?

Here's my advice: Complete your profile. Add a photo or two (or ten), fill in all the sections, and set some goals. Make friends and interact with them. Visit these forums and try to help people. Sometimes a few words can make an enormous impact. Helping others helps you realize your own value. Get excited! This sounds…

How about you cross that bridge when you get there? Don't talk yourself out of having something because you're afraid that you might lose it.

I'm actually an inspiration to the Olympic athletes. It's a gift, really. But I try to stay humble.

I'm from the big city of Blakely, Georgia, but now reside in the illustrious Tallahassee, Florida. Some have noticed that Florida Man appeared suspiciously close to my change of address...

What's your plan, homey?

I have artificially-sweetened green tea sometimes. I have artificially-sweetened lemonade sometimes, too, and for the same reason. It's a flavored drink that doesn't add calories. There's nothing wrong with it. It's just not magic.

You'll get there! My mother has lost close to 35 pounds since February. I lost over 85 pounds from January to August last year. You'll get it, too!

Eating too much on the weekend? Man, I'm so thankful I would never ever do that...

At your size, four pounds in a couple weeks is tough. I do totally understand your eagerness. The problem as I see it comes from the numbers. Your BMR isn't as helpful in this instance as your maintenance level or current level would be in helping us see how much more deeply you could cut your intake. (If at all...)

It's tough, but entirely possible. My problem is I can essentially quit smoking without even having cravings...as long as I'm eating. One thing that I have been able to do is make 'having a smoke' almost a ritual. For instance, my daily chores have to be finished, I have to have a glass of tea (iced tea since I am a…

I'm glad you're here! This app/website made an enormous difference for me.

First off, I'm glad you're here. I believe you should absolutely be excited about the changes in your life that are coming. Both the responses above are really good advice. Here is my addition...Hopefully this won't be terribly redundant. Use this app. Every day. It's a great tool. Be honest with yourself. Be honest about…

It's amusing to me...and exasperating...to see people who enjoy making decisions for other people. Sure, you and your physician have decided on a plan of action, but let me elbow in with my two cents. Even though I don't know you or your situation or your history. Your compliance with my opinions must be mandatory.

Ok...please excuse me for thinking way too hard about this... I'm trying to figure out how to account for water weight in the pickle and batter that will be cooked off. As stated earlier, weighing the cooker itself will reveal how much oil is gone from the cooker. Then I assume you'll need to weigh the napkin you put the…
