This is what it says... "In fact, when the researchers took a closer look at their data, they found that nearly all the obesity risk from soft drinks came from diet sodas." Which to me says out of all soft drinks the greatest risk of obesity is from diet soft drinks.

" Another reason for aspartame's potential to cause weight gain is because phenylalanine and aspartic acid – the two amino acids that make up 90 percent of aspartame -- are known to rapidly stimulate the release of insulin and leptin; two hormones that are intricately involved with satiety and fat storage. Insulin and…

A 2010 scientific review published in the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine (YJBM)5 discussed the neurobiology of sweet cravings and the unexpected effect of artificial sweeteners on appetite control. It cites several large scale prospective cohort studies that found positive correlations between artificial sweetener…

I saw two great alternatives already: Smith machine or dumbbell press. I do the dumbbell press and love it. You really isolate each pec muscle.

University of Texas is a bunch of socialists !

How DARE you introduce a totally credible study on this topic.

There's not a ton of research yet, but it will come out sooner or later that artificial sweeteners are nt good.

The link to the actual study is in the article.

“These results suggest that heavy aspartame exposure might potentially directly contribute to increased blood glucose levels, and thus contribute to the associations observed between diet soda consumption and the risk of diabetes in humans,” Dr. Fernandes said That is what you should have quoted as it is the main point of…

Huff Post is an online newspaper. Study results are considered news.

That study was about diet soda.. more specifically aspartame. I saw not a comparison of weight loss while consuming soda and diet soda.

Nike said it right many moons ago.... Just Do It.

If you can't get away from people like him... figure out a way to turn those words to fuel your weight loss. Maybe after you succeed with that it will empower you to find someone who will respect you.

Just the mask

In my opinion a lot women think they're "fat" when to me they look ideal. I think a person who is 5-10 pounds over weight looks better than someone who is 5-10 under weight.

Likes champaign.

In a low lit nightclub.

This s definetly a victory. You could have easily used it as an excuse to do nothing, but you chose to exercise.

I thnk GNC has some kind of week long cleanse thing involving vitamins. Maybe inquire about that.

Well it's our mistake then. Shame on anyone who has offered any advice that goes against what she truly wanted. Which "ironically" was help.. said in her own words. More specific my bad for coming off as a bully after she labeled my opinion as coming from someone who was not a man.

That indeed sucks. Try your best to ignore/forget it. At the end of the day what other people say does not matter a bit... as cliche as that sounds.

Congrats. Nice work.

Don't sweat it. Could most definetly be the difference between scales. Keep doing your thing.

Bully ? C'mon now that's silly Calling me names like an immature child s not going to change anything.

You can't reason with someone who fails to acknowledge other points of views.

That sucks. Have you offered to have him come with so he can see what you do ?

Liar. What you did say is that You do not know what to do, are out of options and am asking for help. People tried to help and you got offended when some suggested putting the dog down..it's as simple as that. Stop pretending otherwise and acknowledge the truth.

He is going you HIS opinion.. That does NOT make him an *kitten*? Are you a psycho ?

So instead of saying to shoot the dog I should have had more tact and said "put it down" ? That makes no sense to me considering she got wound up when other people suggested that as well. This thread is a no-win for people who have opinions that differ from hers.

If "she's getting rid of the damn dog" then why the thread ?
