water is water is water. if its not water, then why would you log it as water? can i log a full rack of ribs as grilled chicken? they're both meat.

simply answering her question. don't understand what's "obtuse" about that.

if you log your coffee or diet coke as water, then i'm logging vodka as water. only fair.

1200 is low. if you're genuinely hungry, you need to eat. and when i say eat, i mean real food. not lettuce, sauerkraut or celery. preferably something with protein a bit of good fat and complex carbs. a few hundred quality calories is not going to completely derail your weight loss (and may actually help it if you are…

i hear you on keeping fats healthy fats, but fat is very important for satiety. maybe adding/increasing fat rich sources will help. if you don't adjust other areas, this will increase your cal intake, but that could simply be what you're needing too. i did like what someone said about keeping fluid volumes limited around…

until you find something that you like that is a good substitute for those more common sources, i would go with with a supplement (that has vitamin D added to it for absorption.) magnesium is also very important for calcium absorption, and some supplements do include it along with the vitamin D. usually calcium deficiency…

could it be due to pms? pregnancy? sorry, those are always first questions. how much fat are you incorporating into your meals?

there are several possible reasons: 1. loss of fat tissue 2. calorie conservation: a quick/drastic reduction in caloric intake with often result in your body storing calories rather than burning them. this, then results in #3-- 3. slower metabolism, which may or may not be caused by #2. truth is, with decreased caloric…

x2.

so, let me get this straight... you feel ASHAMED when you eat a whopping 1,200 calories? sweety, as someone who's got experience with this sort of thing, you should probably talk to someone.

the "it also" was referring to the diet soda, not the aspartame.

if you actually read the nutrition info on the can, you'll see that its a myth that its high in sodium. i have no idea how that ever even got started. but yeah, its the aspartame. it also dehydrates you, and if you're trying to lose weight, isn't exactly the best choice of beverage because it only promotes a sweet tooth as…

haha! sorry about that. you totally just made me crack up.

well, i wouldn't go THAT far. i keed i keed. you rock. :heart:

you're only 22. if a guy doesn't like you because you don't put out, then fck him. but you might want to change your profile pic if you're saying you don't want that kind of attention. just sayin.

BOOM! nicely done sir, nicely done.

word. as far as high school goes-- between school work and being a year round athlete AND having a part time job, i didn't exactly have time to have this so called "normal high school dating phase" that is apparently, according to this guy, a "normal and necessary" part of the road to marriage. i had an absolute wonderful…

wow, you have so much wisdom to share. when does your creepy pervy talk show come out? :/

:flowerforyou:

i would just like to say a few things: 1. "seen the dating scene for 10 years by the time they're 26"???? um, you're a CHILD till 22, at LEAST. frankly, considering anything under the age of 21 as a part of "the singles scene" is pretty creepy, dude. going all the way down to 16 is verging on pedophilic. 2. you are NOT the…

you win the thread. hands down!

i personally don't really like the term "settling", as all too often people use it as the definition for allowing yourself to be with someone who doesn't check all your boxes. to be honest, i probably had maybe 5 "qualifications" that a guy had to have before i would consider him marriage material. my husband met ONE of…

my husband and i met in a bar. he gave his seat up. before we knew it, we were hitting it off, we closed the bar down together, had our "first date" 2 days later, became totally inseparable, and then my father died very suddenly only 2 months after we met. he flew with me across country to the funeral and was there for me…

STOP LOOKING. meaning, ITS NOT A HUNT!!! you're not going to find the person you're going to marry if you have to go out of your way or particate in events/situations that are not normal or condusive to YOUR LIFE. just do what you do. only when it happens naturally will it be someone who may be a good match for you.

fruit is not a complex carb, it is a simple carb. sorry.

its one of the best snacks you can have!!!!! fat gets such a bum rap. i eat almonds BECAUSE of the fat in them!

i would just estimate, and aim high. reading what you had on your plate, i'd do a quick add of 1200.

actually... you are incorrect. there are some big health benefits of caffeine.

pfff, my husband just pisses me off. husband: "You're not allowed to have that, remember?" (he IS just reminding me of my own rules that I've made for myself). me: "shut up before i punch you in the face."
