This says, on average, one ounce for every 12 pounds of weight you carry (if you are a once per day person). Also explains why it's brown, among other fun facts. http://greatist.com/health/poop-health-embarrassing-questions

This. Technically, everyone eats breakfast if they eat. We have this concept of three discreet meals because of cultural norms, not biological necessities.

You are doing so great! I imagine knowing that you have far to go creates a lot of impatience and frustration. Try to take the long perspective, though. Wouldn't it be better to lose slower (at a healthy and reasonable rate) than diet and gain it back as you have in the past? Setting your goal at one pound a week as the…

1) How many calories do you eat? Somewhere around 1400, though I don't use a scale and guess a lot with the goal of overestimating calories in and underestimating calories out but not leaving myself hungry.

If I add lemon to my water I get heartburn immediately, but eating lemon juice in dishes doesn't bother me, so you could experiment with how you are using foods or the quantity rather than having to rule out certain fruits or vegetables entirely. I also get terrible heartburn taking ibuprofen.

Ha ha!

This is one of the saddest things I've read. I'm so sorry your mother is a jerk.

Such a great response!

Definitely not an implication I intended. I'm loving all of this discussion and reading thoughts from mentally (as well as physically) strong and thoughtful people. I had no idea that the HAES movement was taking things in the direction they are - had to look up what HAES stood for. I intentionally left out personal…

A Feminist is someone who believes in and strives for equality across the genders. A man is just as capable of being a feminist as a woman. And any feminist who cannot tolerate male allies is not a feminist at all. I am sorry if you have experienced a bad reception in the past for this, cause that's not what feminism is…
