When you get out of your car or go to your car, keep your keys in your hand, one key between each pair of fingers (3 keys sticking out when you make a fist) and if someone comes at you, go for the throat. One punch, walk away. They won't be following.

So, it looks like the first procedure has worked. There will be a period of waiting for me to heal up and then a second one will be done. After healing up from that, the third and final one will be done, which should clear up 50% or more of my lower back pain. For those curious about what happened, you're welcome to read…

I know how you feel. After my accident (28 years ago) I kept telling them something was wrong with my lower back. They never believed me (MRI machines were transported in 18 wheelers back then and so very seldom used) and eventually pawned me off on a chiropractor who worked for the auto insurance company, basically. He…

Hmm...I think we need an updated photo of the new and improved lower-pain, happier and healthier CJ.

Okay, I don't know how this thread turned into Binary's progress report, but I wanted to share an update with all of you: When my mom passed away, I slammed face first into a plateau. I thought it was because I wasn't counting my calories properly, that I was snacking too much - something, right? Well, it *was* something I…

Protein with a side of protein?

I started this journey at 398lbs. I dropped to 325lbs and plateaued for years. Then I found MFP in late Feb of this year (2016) and I am currently at 295lbs. My goal weight is 200lbs. I have a lower back injury that prevents me from exercise right now (We're hoping to fix that as I just got a diagnosis after 28 years) but…

If you're competitive, it's good. If not, meh. Also, for what it's worth they have occasional issues with syncing with MFP and being a little overzealous with the calories added back in from exercise. Research that first and see if the solutions are tolerable for you - if they are, it will give you a much more accurate…

I literally cook a pot roast every week just to shred it and use it for Machaca con Huevos. And that meal is pretty much a daily breakfast and even an occasional lunch or dinner.

Machaca con Huevos! 2 egg (50g), Egg 2 TBSP, Medium Salsa 2 oz, Roast Top Round of Beef Heat the roast beef (shredded) in the pan, add salsa (and crushed red peppers, jalapenos or any other heat you want to bring to the table!) and let cook for a bit. Scramble the eggs while you wait. Push the meat/salsa combo to one half…

I'm adding this as yet another reason I was right and my parents were wrong to force vegetables on me </sarcasm>

First of all, the above posters have it right. Take a deep breath. Let it out. This is a marathon, not a sprint. It's a long road to travel. You'll zero in on what your body needs over time and you'll learn as you go. You'll lose weight. You'll hit a plateau and freak out. You'll learn that you need to adjust your calories…

Ummm, excuse me, I regularly ingest large quantities of insecticides and herbicides as part of my weekly cleanse...otherwise, I've heard the body has nothing to remove, so it removes healthy thangs. Look it up, it's a thang.

My point Josette, is that it doesn't do anything more than drinking a bunch of lemon juice would. Same thing. It's a diuretic which helps flush everything out - with the water it flushes out. Because *WATER FLUSHES OUT TOXINS* Let me make that clear to you - GRAPEFRUIT JUICE DOES NOTHING BUT ENCOURAGE THE FLUSHING OF WATER…

Some people use those words. Some people live by them. Good movie and it proved that point very well. There's those who pretend to know what those words mean, those who do know what those words mean and those that actually live by them. Pick one.

Every weight loss study that looks into grapefruit as a weight loss benefit shows nominal results. How nominal? 1-3lbs additional weight loss in a 3 month study. All participants taking grapefruit and gained the added (possible) improved weight loss gained it all back after stopping the grapefruit treatment. So...enjoy…

No, actually he said "Never take counsel of your fears", which is also excellent advice.

I fixed it for you. She's a lost cause. She *believes* what she reads on the Intarwebz because INTARWEBZ!!! Seriously, websites that sell you things aren't going to tell you the truth. They're going to SELL you their version of the truth.

ALL men like the tag alongs. The ones that appear not to are the ones who like them too much and are afraid of what will happen. Like I said, you either let them tag along, or you make it clear that you're with someone else and move on. I've heard a lot of guys talk about how they were faithful and then one day a female…

According to WEBMD (a fairly reliable source of factual data on health related matters) Grapefruit has been used for everything from Asthma to Yeast Infections. However, it also shows that there is Insufficient Evidence as to its health benefits for any of the treatments it's used for. So, I'm going to go out on a limb…

Those are *not* toxins...they're high in protein! :laugh:

Paragraphs, punctuation and capitalization. Grammar is important, now and even after high school. >.>

Hey, if they'll swallow that nonsense maybe you should just invite them over to watch Netflix and chill. >.>

Don't but stupid. We guys aren't that overly complicated. We want every woman on the planet we find remotely attractive. We're dogs. It's in our nature. And if we have one already but we have another one tagging along and hanging around and showing us they want us? That's when we men split up into two groups. Those with…

"You drink one cup before each meal to lose your appetite." I fixed it for you.

XBone and PC gamer here, top favorites (at the moment) in no particular order: Fallout 4 Wastelanders 2 Witcher 3 Hand of Fate Mad Max I'm very big into RPG and storyline focused games. FPS doesn't float my boat a lot (although tactical games, like CS and most of the Tom Clancy series) are great - FPS actually makes me…

Interestingly enough, that's in my Netflix queue so that might be exactly where I head next! I've also been recommended "I, Zombie" as another great show, although I think my buddy just has a thing for the main character.
