I don't have any DVD suggestions (they pretty much all involve some of this), but if your bedroom floorboards are that weak, you have a serious structural problem with your home and that seems kind of dangerous.

If you enjoy it, do it. If you aren't entirely happy with the aesthetic results (and you may be fine with them. Totally personal), look into adding other things. It's that simple. As long as you're moving, you're doing great. I will say, though, that for optimal health -- especially as you age -- resistance training is a…

And a lot of them apparently are in this thread.

You have an awful lot of eye makeup on. I used to wear too much makeup and I don't anymore. I can help you fix your makeup problem. Now imagine I said that to you in the middle of a crowded food court in front of all your coworkers. And you never saw me before in your life.

You realize those people agree to be on the show, right? And also that their close friends and family generally nominate them -- not complete strangers in public.

I choose to assume that's a joke. I hope, anyway.

To the "his heart was in the right place" crowd -- what about the above?

One's heart being in the right place is not an excuse for this kind of behavior. No. Just no.

*headdesk*

Why in the world does it matter if he "meant well"???? He was unbelievably rude and inappropriate. His parents failed him miserably when it comes to interacting with other people in society.

OK, seriously? I'm reading through this and on page 2 and I cannot believe there are people who think what this guy did was in any way appropriate or not rude. What he did was NOT OK. DO NOT DO THIS. Not to strangers and not to people you know unless they ask you to.

REALLY?? Wow. Even worse.

More likely he's a clueless cad who's trying to drum up an income. Relationship or no relationship is irrelevant. You can't determine his level of miserableness from this interaction. He's trying to make a living taking the MLM business approach. Sadly, some people give in to that so it works sometimes. But probably not…

I suspect your colleagues did know how gutted you were. They just didn't know how to address it or maybe thought it better not to. Some people have no common sense. I'm really sorry that happened to you and I doubt this idiot is getting much business with that approach.

Psst. Let me tell you a secret: There is a drop-down menu under everyone's names that has this nifty "ignore user" feature. A little less stress = more weight loss. Win/win!

FYI, you can get a strike for correcting spelling or grammar. Thus why no one else did.

I'm going to blow your mind: Human beings (homo sapiens) are primates.

Or bored and procrastinating.

How YOU doin'? :wink:

It gets nasty because, while in most cases not harmful, it is not necessary. So people reply to say, "Hey! Save your time/money/effort and just eat healthy foods." And then others come in going on and on about how absolutely necessary it is. It isn't. It's frustrating and annoying.

What about when you have a specific health issue that requires a special diet? Or when you think you're doing everything right and you aren't getting the results you want, despite doing plenty of research? Obviously, there are common sense nutrition "rules," but sometimes there are extenuating circumstances where nutrition…

Also this. :-) it isn't something I really notice, but I don't mind it at all.

A good doctor would have referred him to an RD without you even having to ask.

I like my men manly, so rough hands don't bother me at all. Kind of a turn-on.

My doctor flat-out told me he knows nothing about nutrition. He referred me to an RD, but she looked over what I'm eating and had no suggestions, anyway.

I can cut a 1.5 oz. piece of cheese on the first try every time.

Reading Alkalize or Die makes one an expert on nutrition.

I can totally understand limiting sugar if you have o had cancer, just in case. But the way it was worded in the prior post made me picture little tumors running around sniffing people to see which ones smelled sweet, then burrowing into their bodies like little parasites to feed off the sugar. lol

I had terrible morning sickness and couldn't eat anything with any acid in it. My doctor tried everything, but nothing worked. I lived on pasta with olive oil and cheese. Fruits and vegetables were completely out. He was telling me to eat candy bars just to get the calories! At six months along, I was 102 pounds. Good news…
