I always love seeing these threads, and I'm hoping I can get the "after" tummy soon.

Ugh. For a second there I thought pooping out mouse skulls was the newest colon cleanse.

I could share my 3 year old's Learn to Read books. Or is it too hard?

Okay, here's an opinion. Sugar is tasty, I will never avoid it, in natural or added forms. However, as I don't want to be a fatass anymore, foods with "natural" sugars are better because they're more filling, contain more micronutrients, and are lower calorie so I can eat a butt ton of them without blowing my day.…

I'm not Canadian, but curling is awesome. It's the only spectator sport that makes you feel stoned.

Yes, let's discuss hate and the internet. Four kids beat up a fifth, stole his money and skate board, and carved a freaking swastika into his forehead because he called their friend "gay" online. On top of that, now most of the news stories report that it may have been in retaliation to "bullying" because people are so…

Milo's not so bad. He lets me put on shoes when I leave the kitchen.

Wow, that's an amazing difference, and a win no matter what your scale says. Congratulations!

"And from that day forward, his wife/girlfriend/whatever affectionately called him 'Grill Penis'"

This idea gives me nerd tingles. In other words, IN!

The only word that comes to mind is "clumpy." No, wait, "painful and clumpy"--two words I've never associated with garlic until now. I hate you.

There's also "we're all here for the same reason," "weight loss is not just about calories," and "loose weight."

On the one hand, both of my dogs are mixed breed rescue pups for this very reason, on the other hand, there is still a need for working dogs and working dog breeds. Rescue dogs, herding dogs, service dogs... it's nice to have established breeds with known behavior patterns for these jobs. Also, the Westminster Dog Show has…

Detached Box Syndrome is a serious medical matter and I will not have you make fun of it. Dr. Oz did a whole segment on DBS last week. Buncha bullies here.

There are some levels of definition I find more aesthetically appealing than others, but it's after the point where you're not worried about weight, you're actively working on body fat percentage and body composition. I would love to be fit enough that this was a concern. And someday I will.

Great work, congratulations!

Spaghetti with meat sauce. My husband loves it, and I'll have a bowl when he makes it but can easily stop while he's on his second or third serving. I actively hate sweet tea and ranch dressing. They're vile, vile substances.

...what I hate, more than anything else, really is the "it's just your opinion" trend as a way to invalidate an entire post. Of course it's my opinion--I'm the one posting. I'll post my opinion, and whatever facts/sources/logical trends I feel are necessary to show what led me to form that opinion. I'm not going to litter…

Bump, and thanks!

Bah, don't worry about the water. Toddlers go nuts over weird tiny things because they're toddlers--you can't plan for them all. As for the Mom, well, she either needs to plan on her kid only drinking bottled water at all times, or she needs to teach her to drink tap water from a cup. Hell, many bottled waters are just…

Sometimes you can't see the forest for the titties...

I hate it when people order salads with extra cheese and ranch dressing, say they hate it but are on a diet, and then get a cookie because they were "good" with the salad. Just eat the cheeseburger you really wanted--it's lower cal with mustard than your bowl of dressing and cheese. But the biggest one is one that I've…

You can do resistance exercises with dumbbells, but to count as "lifting heavy" for weight loss I believe you have to lift progressively heavier loads of weights in low repetitions. Basically, 50 reps with a 1 lb dumbbell does not equal 1 rep with a 50 lb dumbbell. Check out this group for some good general info--…

"Mom, Dad... this is the guy I did all those kegals for."

Prepares to show her geek. Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. Batman, old enough to collect Social Security, kicks the son of Krypton's *kitten*. It. Was. Awesome.

Don't completely overhaul your diet and exercise all at once. It took a long time to establish the habits that got you overweight, it'll take time to change it. Eat at a calorie deficit and don't worry about finding inspiration to keep you chewing food that sounds, frankly, boring. Low carb is not a magical weight loss…
