An Octopus has three hearts.

Pavlov walks into a bar and orders a pint of beer. The phone rings. "Oh crap," he says. "I forgot to feed the dog."

Just finished a big work project, and tomorrow is a holiday. Killing 15 more minutes until I can go home and go for a bike ride

What do you think is going on with this weird scab on my skin?

I want to quit Facebook because of their terrible data-sharing practices, but want a way to stay in touch with friends I don't see too often.

On super-busy days I try to fit in exercise whenever I can. I take the subway to work and it's a 15 minute walk (each way) from my house or a 10 minute bus ride. I do the walk. I try, on weekends, to walk places instead of driving if I don't need the car. I take the stairs instead of the escalator in all the train stations…

These are my go-tos. They're fairly filling: Wendy's baked potato with broccoli and small chili on top (480 calories); Chipotle burrito bowl--chicken, brown rice, black beans, and salsa (550 calories); Trader Joe's Harvest Salad with grilled chicken (420 calories) or Cranberry Walnut salad with chicken (340 calories);…

I was bad and had some See's chocolate Easter eggs.

I like Trader Joe's Chili Lime spice, and also use paprika because it makes the chicken look more appetizing.

I *LOVE* cashews but limit myself to a small handful because they're pretty high in calories. I also love good quality cheese, but try to limit that for the same reason. When I want to "binge snack" I chop cherry tomatoes in half, and mix them with some Trader Joe's sweet and hot jalapeño peppers.

Thanks for this but it's created more problems than it's solved with my Ionic. MFP wasn't getting any exercise data from Fitbit so I unlinked and then relinked and now the Fitbit app shows 0 steps after a sync, even though the watch is showing more than 10,000 steps. The ONLY thing that syncs between the Fitbit app and my…

@brendanwhite84 Interesting...I will have to do this comparison. I don't mind running in cold, but not so much in rain when it gets slippery.

Best definition of introverts and extroverts I've heard: Both introverts and extroverts like contact with people. When introverts are around people, their gas tank depletes and they need to refill it by being alone. When extroverts aren't around people, their gas tank depletes and they need to refill it by being around…

Thanks all. I'm definitely seeing improvement -- the point about pacing is good to know. Also good to know that running and biking are different (I mean, I *know* they're different but had always assumed fitness in one would translate to fitness in the other more easily). With the rainy season coming, I may have to move…

My little dog had surgery yesterday and I picked her up today. She's going to be fine!

I don't know what state you live in, but I'm in CA and when my knees act up I buy cannabis lotion and it works amazingly well. It doesn't get you high or anything, just works its way into your knees (or shoulder, or wherever you rub it) and takes away the pain. If you're in a state where it's legal, I'd highly recommend it…

Philadelphia

Premiu ice cream. I used to LOVE Ben and Jerry's (800+ calories per container) and now instead have half a container of Halo Top (140 calories) which is 80% as good

That's one of the side effects of alcohol, unfortunately. I've had insomnia for years and went to a sleep specialist. Here's some of the things that have worked for me: * Turn off the TV and all devices (phones, TV, laptops) at least one hour before it's time to sleep. Reading an old fashioned book or magazine is OK. *…

Raw--Bell peppers Cooked--Broccoli or peas

They already pulled that cheap "Glenn escapes under truck" trick. Yes, it would have been upsetting losing a major character, but it was worse the way he got out of it. For the longest time, Michonne was my favorite character, but now it's Carol.

Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, almost every flavor

I'm 6'3" Start Weight: 235 Current Weight: 217 Goal Weight: 180-200 Had to give up running due to knee issues so started cycling and power walking instead, but kept eating like I was still running marathons. The result was a lot of weight gain, and denial about it. Have been steadily dropping 1-2 pounds a week. Could…

I buy gravy for dogs with all the essential nutrients, then make them rice, green beans, cottage cheese and chicken. Not every day, just a couple days a week. They love it.

I keep a jar of chunky natural peanut butter at work and often have a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter as a quick and easy lunch.

I totally get that this is a low protein breakfast. For whatever reason, protein just doesn't sit well with me early in the morning (I ate this at 6:30). If I'm going to eat eggs, for example, I have them on weekends and not until 10 a.m. or so. This is a typical work breakfast for me. For lunch, I'll have turkey, chicken,…

For my mom's birthday, they had pizza and birthday cake. I ate two slices instead of my usual four and then took a slice of cake and discreetly threw it away when no one was looking. Also, take smaller portions and bring a vegetable tray to nibble on for an appetizer.

Any loss, chosen or not, even a loss that's eventually for the better, causes grieving. Let yourself go through the normal feelings of grief: anger, denial, depression, bargaining and then ultimately acceptance. Before you eat something, ask yourself "do I *really* want this" and wait a minute. Sometimes the answer may be…

I've lost 17 pounds so far and I *FEEL* the difference more than see it yet. I have much more stamina and am sleeping a lot better. Plus I can look down in the shower now and see -- well -- never mind :smile:

California tried this about 10-15 years ago and it was a disaster. They essentially said that sales tax had to be paid on "snacks" but not "food". If you bought a Hershey milk chocolate bar at the checkout counter it was taxable but if you bought a Hershey's milk chocolate BAKING bar it wasn't taxable. Then, various groups…
