I have never considered blood donation a weight loss event, but was more curious about if or how the calorie burning occurred. It totally make sense that it would happen over the 6 weeks it takes to recover red blood cell volume....

I'm in inner city as well, and our student's families have a median income of $7000 (you read that correctly). If a kid gives me food, I take it and make a big show of it even if I put it away for later or give it someone else or share it with the whole class. My teacher problems would include students not having supplies,…

ice cream; ruffles with hellofagood onion dip; deep dish pizza and beer... now I'm hungry....da@!it!

What is interesting to me is that a number of people that I know that had arranged marriages did grow to love and respect their spouses over time...is that not true love? To do just what MrStabbems said you'd do until you do it out of love instead of out of obligation to a spouse you may not have wanted but your family…

Candida diet is used to remove an overgrowth of candida from your body. Yeast feed on sugar, so in theory, restricting sugar and sugar creating foods will starve the extra yeast. It is not a fad, but a doctor prescribed diet to follow for a 6-12 weeks to get rid of endemic yeast overgrowth. I saw a specialist last year who…

tried to change my profile pic to me and failed...lol. still not winning though! ;)

I believe love is a choice. You may "fall in love" at first, but then you choose to see the good in someone; you choose to be their rock; you choose to love them regardless...on the other hand, I feel as though some people are just not good at sex and even with practice they will still be bad. So for now I would choose…

Binging and purging is another form of trying to gain control over things you don't understand...the fact that you stopped and thought and then took the step to ask for help is huge. You don't need to binge. You do need to think about the fact that your kids see much more than you think...and why when things are going so…

One contest I won't win... :/

I saw 5 pages of"I love fake ice cream"...and I laughed out loud because I love real ice cream, and I eat it in moderation and within my calorie budget...bawhahahaha >:) It even has protein in it! :p

I needed the inspiration here...thanks Terry for the reminder!

Who doesn't like sweaty sex? :o My second date with my ex-husband was rollerblading...I like active dates, but we were not well matched for exercise as we didn't really like the same things.

Hidden Figures...recommend to everyone!

When I was subbing and an over age 8th grader (maybe 14 year old) said "Hey baby, what's your name?" and offered to walk me to class. I was 24.

No one needs steroids. Not unless you want your heart to grow weaker, your testicles to shrink and chance the idea that your muscles could grow so much stronger than your ligaments and tendons that they detach from your bones. Not to mention the bad attitude, anger and acne...from your pic, I'd say you are pretty big…

brown eyes with long lashes and full lips...on a man. An accent helps too... <3

Nice work...very visible difference!

Your legs are awesome...great work!

My belt is one notch tighter this week... <3

This...^^^

Parents who get upset with teachers because their child is failing a high school class when the parent refuses to send the child to school because they have to walk in the snow. Teaching metric measure to American students merely for the purpose of Science class.

Ohio here!

And the tutorial video that heybales posted is perfect. Have someone take a video and compare if you still aren't sure.

I'm with LL5lifts. When you feel bad emotionally, you feel bad physically. I have dysmorphia and have a hard time feeling attractive. If my hair isn't frizzy, or I have a new lipgloss, or my jeans fit just right--regardless of the size of them--I feel pretty good. I hold my head higher. I look people in the eye. I smile…

I moved the notch on my belt over... :)

Another poster said chances are that she is noticing the changes as well. These changes are hard for all people to go through--it's like aging--all of a sudden parts are longer or flatter or have hangy skin. Love should be unconditional, and noone can control how they lose weight. First and foremost your wife needs…

Where is this said bar with hot guys drinking whiskey straight?

Beautiful day out going to walk my dog so I can eat more

bathroom first... unless the house is on fire!

If you are still in school, you probably can't move out until you can establish a bit of money. Until then, you need to disengage. Go to Alanon or find a counselor that can help you with your guilt and think about a plan to get out of your parent's house. I agree with Imjohnson110. Your parents are adults. They have made…
