As a biologist I have to say this: Creation "Science" - the religious "scientific" "evidence" for the origin of humankind. Zubaz pants circa 1991 Wearing sunglasses at night

I've known a lot of thin trainers that didn't know a word of what they were saying. I'd ask them questions and they would give me a blank stare. Thin doesn't always equal healthy....I mean, I can starve myself, too, but it doesn't mean I'm healthy.

When a show plays the same five syndicated seasons, five times a day, on five different channels (see: Family Guy). I can pretty much quote every episode verbatim from the first 5 years. Or when a show has 20+ seasons to choose from and I still see the same episodes over and over in syndication (see: The Simpsons). Also…

When people on here say they've lost 1000 pounds in a month and everyone saying how good of a job they're doing. That's not good, it's unhealthy and praising them is promoting an unhealthy lifestyle. I hate misinformation! I want a site with legit, healthy information not a bunch of folks eating 800 cals a day. >.<

If you have some, you could use a dumbbell on the scale to verify the accuracy (or something else of which you know the weight). Sometimes if the scale isn't on level ground it will be off. Just keep testing places until it gets to the right dumbbell weight.

I'm a male survivor, too. You're not alone, friend. I know of a few other sites for male survivors, if you're interested. Let me know. :) Andy

I'm a male and I was abused sexually from age 0-10 by my "dad." From 11-18 I was emotionally abused by my mom's new relationship. It's effected me so much...I guess I got here at MFP because I didn't know I could be better. Slowly learning now...even my mom said I inspired her to eat better and lose weight. I guess my…

I hate driving with a passion, so... - People who cannot merge, and wait for you to speed up or slow down - Too slow in the fast lane/too fast in the slow lane - Slowing down to 1 mph to turn a corner - Speeding up fast only to hit the brakes 50 feet later because of traffic - People who think they're P-Diddy. When you…

I have the book "New Rules of Lifting" and I like it. There's a "New Rules of Lifting for Women," too. They have several strength training routines and other great advice for beginners. It's been working well for me. Only $13 plus shipping.…

A lot of the weight could be from sodium intake and water retention. Was the food salty? If you eat a lot of salty or spice-laden foods you can gain weight fast but it is only water weight, which should come off again faster provided you cut back to normal sodium levels. I doubt very much it's straight fat. You'd have to…

Digital or analog? :) I use a digital and put one of my hand weights (10 lbs) to check the accuracy and move it accordingly. Sometimes the tilt of the floor or whatever makes it go off -- but my digital is rarely off by more than 0.4 pounds. Good luck! :)

I drink EAS 100% whey protein mix (chocolate) in one cup of reduced fat milk and it tastes pretty good -- like a chocolate shake. :) http://www.vitacost.com/EAS-Whey-Protein-Chocolate-2-lbs

Also, when you build lean muscle mass through exercise, you will burn calories faster when you are resting the more muscle you have throughout your body. That means you can eat more and still be toned and have a higher metabolism. Imagine burning 500 cals an hour just resting...how long on the treadmill does that take?…

I find it hard to get enough calories yet at the same time stay in the green with fat and sugar and protein. Yeah, I could eat a pot of mac and cheese and get the calories, but then my fat would be over. I always end up wondering which I should let go over or under. I eat (I think) plenty of healthy yet caloric things and…
