If it's their money then they can spend it on whatever they want. But it comes from the gov't (taxes) so the gov't gets to make the rules.

If you have a full ride scholarship but can't figure out how to get food, then maybe college isn't for you.

Yes, they do it for life insurance. Also, why should I have to pay more than someone who can't be bothered to stop stuffing their face full of twinkies and get out and go for a walk?

I use SunWarrior and have no complaints. I think it is a good blend, mixes well, tastes okay. There's not a lot of protein per scoop, so you have to consume more than a soy protein.

Hello from Lincoln, Nebraska!

I'm giving up alcohol and eating animal protein for lent. Even though I live in a house with omni's, so far it has been easy. One problem is that I thought it would be easier to stay under my MFP calorie goal, but it hasn't. Anyway, it feels great never being hung over or sluggish because I ate a greasy cheeseburger!

I love it when I see big people working out. I think, "There's someone trying to make a change."

Pretend like you think he lost a few pounds and reward/complement him.

Ok, I have a question...It's commonly said that you can't burn fat without a deficit. Also, you can't build muscle on a deficit. How then does one change their body composition? Is it somehow possible to add muscle and burn fat at the same time? I'm 5-8, 170 with a 23.6 body fat and a BMR of approx 1675. Thanks.

I'm still deciding between alcohol and animal proteins... can't decide and time is ticking.

I typically eat 1800-2100. I eat back exercise calories when I run distance, but not when I lift. MFP says I can eat 1290 to lose 1.5 pounds per week, so...that's not going to happen!

For a 5'6" female, 1200 cal should be enough. Make sure to eat back your exercise calories.

I like a blank canvas, but to each his own.

2012 Buick Enclave-great SUV!

Yeah, report it. They were about to abduct you.

Bend, don't break.

Too hard to compete with that :)

Great job! That's impressive!

Togo, where the heck is that?

I never had a problem making friends. If you are a positive, happy person people will be drawn to you.

Get whatever you want and eat approx one cup of it plus one cup of rice if it comes with rice, then log it in. Life is too short to not enjoy a little Indian food! I personally think salmon madras is the best. Have fun!

Yes, of course you can lose weight without exercising. Just set your activity level as sedentary and eat your calories but don't go over what MFP gives you.

Way to go!!!

Congrats, you're a knockout!

Yep.

I'm not buying the conclusion drawn by the headline writer. It's still # of calories in and # out. Glycemic loads matter in feeling full longer, but you could lose weight on a junk food diet as long as you ate at a deficit.

Not a lady so I may be way off base here. But wasn't the sales lady actually doing you a favor by not wasting your time with something that doesn't fit and wouldn't look good. Granted, she could have asked your size and offered to order one in your size if they didn't have one in stock. If you have 100 + pounds to lose,…

How many hours a week do you work? If it's less than 80, get a part time job.
