This can't be a serious post. It isn't serious, is it?

Seems to have. I guess she didn't like the responses or didn't really want help. Never mind then.

If you're working this hard and not seeing results, have you talked to a doctor and had any recent blood work done? I have a thyroid condition and I basically have to cut calories to below 1,000 a day and workout for an hour every single day just to see a pound a week loss. Anything less than that and I'm lucky if I don't…

They smell good and lavender and peppermint can help somewhat ease my migraines. Beyond that, I use real medicine.

Hormonal BC affects different people in different ways and different kinds of it affect different people in different ways. The pill never affected my weight, so the answer is maybe, maybe not.

I think that's a complicated subject. In some cases, it's a lack of effort. I actually have a medical condition that affects my metabolism and I quite literally cannot lose weight without medical intervention. But even people who don't have a medical condition might have a psychological issue or other priorities. "Lazy" is…

I have a few friends who were in the industry and their experience was very different from yours. Either you're full of crap or you were lucky. In all seriousness, while I don't make moral judgments on this, it isn't an easy thing to do for many reasons that have nothing to do with morality. Having complete strangers who…

Yes, in this thread.

I LOVE THAT COMMERCIAL!!! And, TOMK, why you no have sense of humor?

Context, baby, context.

Sometimes they happen even when you don't need to "go." Gas can occur outside of the presence of feces.

Be careful. See what happened to my grandmother. She left her children to fend for themselves. They were only 61 and 69 years old!

My grandmother ate ice cream almost daily. She was always within a healthy weight range. She died three years ago at the young, young age of 97. If only she'd given up the ice cream ...

But neither woman in the video is anywhere near "fat" by any stretch. Either of them could probably gain 20 or 30 pounds and still be within a perfectly healthy weight range. Yet you referred to Gwyneth Paltrow, who might even be underweight considering how thin she appears on camera, as "the chunky one."

What if you've never been a binger or an emotional eater and you're a generally healthy eater who doesn't really overeat all that much, but your metabolism has slowed up a bit due to age or a medical condition? Then what?

There is a brownie sundae at Miller's Ale House that is 2,400 calories, according to the menu. I have no freaking clue how that's possible. It's a relatively normal-sized brownie with maybe a cup of vanilla ice cream and a reasonable amount of whipped cream and hot fudge. I'm rarely shocked over restaurant calorie counts,…

It isn't so much the portions as how they cook them. Lots of butter and oil.

They do not all do it. And they are being jerks when they do it.

"don't have a job, hey you're missing teeth" Valid reasons to not want a second date, regardless of gender. And, you know what, if the guy wasn't attracted, he wasn't attracted. That isn't the issue. The issue is he should have left it at that. He isn't interested. He didn't have to insult her. He was nasty and it was…

You're way too good for him. Next!

Yes, please stop. I never wore tight low-rise jeans and I have it. So where did mine come from?

What, exactly, is wrong with it?

And now I've looked at your diary -- your fat, protein and calories are WAY too low. Eat. You aren't doing vegetarianism correctly. And make sure you're taking B12 supplements and getting enough iron.

It may be a lack of fat, but it also may be a coincidence. If you're getting the proper nutrients and still having those issues, you need blood work. Those are all symptoms of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

And I'm done being a part of this page. I thought this page was about losing weight or getting healthy but all you people ever post is bs like this

Because there's nothing wrong with feeling a little hunger and waiting an hour or so to eat a meal. This having to satisfy a hunger pang the second it hits is an incredibly new, weird concept that I will never understand. And, yes, now that I think about it, the constant snacks thing with children is a new concept. I had…

You need bloodwork. A thyroid panel, specifically, especially given your age.

As long as you're comfortable and nothing inappropriate is hanging out, wear whatever you want! I see men in jeans and belts and button-down shirts sometimes, though, and that's a little strange. It makes me uncomfortable in that empathetic way, like, I feel sweaty and hot and confined on his behalf. lol But it's his…

I recommend that you just don't talk to these people about what you're doing and just do it. Eat the way you want, exercise the way you want and don't talk to them about it. Talk to the healthy people in your life about it.

It's not unusual to lose a lot in the first three or four weeks like that and not necessarily unhealthy in the very beginning.
