I... um... I was going to post something, but I got distracted, I think.

I'm a straight female and I'd hit that... just sayin'.

So what if I have multiple tacos? Maybe I'm still hungry after eating only one taco, why should that be such a bad -- Oh. Wait.

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming 'WOO HOO what a ride!'"

It's been scientifically proven that all people who consume carbohydrates will, at some point, die. Obviously, carbohydrates = death.

I've never heard of it, but from its title, it sounds like it will be quite effective for three days... ... out of the 29,200 or so that will probably make up your entire life. If I were you, I'd ignore the fad diets. Figure out a way of eating that you can sustain long-term.

Yeah, mine too. We served cupcakes at the funeral just to spite her.

I'm kinda obsessed with this show. I basically echo what everyone else has said -- after they confront their unhealthy eating habits and milk it for the cameras and so on, they actually go on to make sustainable changes to their lifestyle. The goal isn't extreme weight loss or gain, but true health, and I really like that.…

Bumping -- I'm an apple too. I'm loving the before and afters; you all look amazing!

Banned for daring to question me!

Banned for eating and not eating your exercise calories at the same time. I will now ban myself for the fourth time for nearly making a Schrodinger's cat reference.

Banned for not knowing how to properly pronounce them... and now I'm triply banned, because I don't know how to either! :D I did find this, though: http://www.pbs.org/speak/seatosea/americanvarieties/midwest/

I'm already banned; I pronounce "cot" and "caught" the same way. Can I be doubly banned?

Great post!

Not the healthiest -- vanilla nonfat yogurt, granola, and an apple. But it was yummy.

Your BF% might be lower than 22%, actually. You can estimate it using online calculators (there have been links posted all over the forums -- I'll see if I can find one) by inputting your measurements (waist, hip, neck, that sort of thing). You look phenomenal, by the way.

I eat dinner at four o'clock in the afternoon -- I just don't get hungry in the evenings.

I dunno. I'm going to bulk up my jaw muscles for a couple of months and then go into a cut. The dudes dig masseter definition. *shrug*

Oh, and I'll join the crowd -- I've had some pretty ridiculous food diaries, too. I think there was a day a few months ago during which I literally ate nothing but yogurt. Once I actually did that for three days in a row, last fall. And I could still do it again. (Addicted? No... no, definitely not... That's a silly idea.)

Oh man, I wish it was a joke. When I tentatively suggested that chewing gum wasn't cardiovascular exercise (to which they could have responded that it was a euphemism for, ah, something else, if that was the case), their response was "but chewing gum burns calories, so I can still log it." :huh: To all of you out there who…

I've been to a school that required a uniform, and I currently attend a school that does not. Personally, I preferred the uniforms. I mean, they were terrible (I firmly believe that the pants were made of tarps and spray-painted black), but I quickly got used to them. Actually, when I first switched to my current school,…

Two things I've seen have stood out to me: Logging 300 calories' worth of "chewing gum." No, not in the food diary -- under cardio. And wait for it... wait for it... "So-and-so burned 9715 calories doing 2110 minutes of cardio exercises." I spent quite a bit of time wondering how they could have worked out for thirty-five…

My family lived and traveled around a little bit on a sailboat for a while when I was younger, and I remember having Pop-Tarts for breakfast fairly often -- because when it's barely past dawn, you're needed on deck right away, and you're facing an entire day on your feet, nothing beats grabbing a neat little package of…

Get their sesame honey cashews, but be warned that the contents of the bag will disappear quickly upon opening!

Of course you'll lose weight by eating below your BMR. You'll probably lose quite a bit of weight, actually. But keep it up over an extended period of time, and your health will go right along with it.

Looks like you've gotten quite a bit of good advice already, so this is purely for enjoyment.

YES. GET OFF MY INTERNET. RIGHT NOW, SIR, RIGHT NOW. I don't really care, actually. It's certainly less annoying that pictures that people take of themselves in their bathroom mirrors.
