Blah blah blah, something about appropriating her story to suit your political agenda, blah blah blah, something about ignoring the opinion of the woman who lived it and you not having the right to invalidate her feelings, something something patriarchy something something suppressing her voice etc.

My step dad said everything in moderation, including moderation. Sometimes a boy just needs to eat and there ain't nothing wrong with that. Just make sure you balance it. I'll bust my butt exercising when I know I'm gonna need some popeyes that night, maybe even skip lunch to hit my goals and still cure my craving. I often…

I was fit and trim at 19 and ran 5 miles a day. I am fat and can barely run a half mile now. I can still confidently say that with my experience, training, and weight advantage that 30 year old me would whoop the snot out of 19 year old me if it came down to a real fight. The world's best powerlifters usually peak at…

I'd leave the judgement about whether it was creepy or misogynist up to the recipient of the comments rather than the person who read a sentence about it 40 years later.

I believe that operant conditioning works. Make someone do something and associate bad feelings with it, they will want to avoid it. I use exercise as a way of bonding with my kids. I do some running and footwork drills with them and then we play some active games. I take the time to help shape their characters and develop…

As with all things it's better to limit yourself by choice and not by necessity. Do it all until you've discovered what works best for you. Walk long distances to burn calories without burning yourself out, but pick a day to do some sprints up and down the drive way to build some muscle and work on that explosive cardio.…

I keep it simple. "Whatever works for you I'm behind. But no matter what you do, detox or low carb etc. none of it will be worth anything unless you eat fewer calories than you burn." No reason to break the illusion as long as the foundation is CICO. You'll get better results that way. "Yeah, keto! Great! Keep it up! But…

I think a little column A a little column B. I think we probably eat the same volume of food our ancestors did, but we eat foods that are more calorie dense. I also think that sugar has rather unique effects on our brain chemistry that hurt our ability to control our appetites... (I say as I chow down on a p-nutty bar...)

My take is simple. Everything with the human body and mind works the same way as exercise. The more you work at it, the more efficient you become. Your brain wires connections through repetition. Just like practicing piano or playing a video game, the more you do it, the faster you brain becomes at performing the…

You're right, choosing not to pursue a subject and disagreeing with someone doesn't make you wrong. Believing that weight loss is not effectively approached by maintaining a calorie deficit and that intense exercise is necessary for weightloss is what makes you wrong.

Check this bad boy out. https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Pedal-Exerciser-Vive-Equipment/dp/B01G8ZU2N0/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1506625167&sr=8-7&keywords=peddler%2Bexerciser&th=1 I bought one of these for my couch and my desk at work. I refuse to watch tv without using it. As a result I get an extra 2-3 hours of exercise…

This. If my weight is funky high, I'll go for a run to see how much of it was just water. I've dropped 7 pounds of water weight in a weekend just by going for some long walks in the hot summer sun. Low and behold I realized that I had been eating gumbo the week before, basically salt water with salty meat and some veggies.…

Spinach salads are your friend for helping feel full. 1 cup of uncooked spinach is 7 calories. 1 tablespoon of butter is 100 calories... let that sink in for a second. I say eat a little bit of what you want, but fill up on greens if it's not enough.

When you're all out of insight but you can't admit you're wrong, just make it personal :D

Yeah, I'm down 30 pounds myself with just a deficit. I've not been "unsuccessful" I've just stopped following all the woo-woo diet/exercise fads out there. Now I just eat fewer calories than I burn and voila, success.

Cut the internet and let him know he doesn't get it back until he takes his meds. Let him have his freakout moments, let him break stuff and get angry, but make it clear that there is only one way he gets his video games and skype friends back. Make him the alternative of paying for the internet himself if he wants to get…

AH! We found the beachbody salesman! Welcome to the logic zone where all you need is a calorie deficit to lose 40 pounds! *queue twilight theme*

To answer the question in simple terms. To heck with the odds. I want to show my children that their father was strong enough to lose the weight and keep it off in spite of every study out there. If they ever get as big as their dad or face any type of insurmountable challenge I want them to remember my struggle and my…

Negative emotions can either be buried or channeled. Strive to better yourself and let those negative emotions motivate you rather than weigh you down.

I've tried several fad diets including nutrisystem. I lost weight fast and hard on those things but then crashed and gained it all back after burning myself out. I've used this app for about 60 days and have steadily lost weight just being honest and staying in my numbers and have never felt like I'm starving or hurting…

No moment of disgust here. Just a moment of inspiration. Have been slowly gaining weight ever since my wife had kids. Stress eating, over-worked, depressed, numerous fad diets (including nutrisystem which I now know failed because it had me eating 1,200 calories a day when 2 pounds a week on MFP has me at 1,940... holy…
