Daily is better than weekly. Even when dropping weight you'll go up and down on a daily basis. If you log in once a week and happen to be higher that day than the days surrounding (differences in digestion, hydration/water retention, etc), you could get discouraged when you're actually making progress. Just don't take…

My two, unscientifically-founded cents: If you weigh 350 and have 100+ pounds of fat to lose, calories are calories and the composition is not very important. If you weigh 180 and have 15% body fat and you're trying to lose 10 pounds to get yourself to 10% body fat, composition is going to be much more important. I have no…

I think I speak on behalf of all the body dysmorphics here when I say, shape shifting.

Fellowship of the ring? "If there's one thing we can tell you, it's this: a crazy killer is crazy. And he WILL kill you."

People weren't meant to ride in cars, ride in airplanes, use toiletries, use synthetic materials to make clothes or as building materials either. So when all the cheesophobes start eating nothing but bark, wearing clothes made from their own hair, stop all bathing and grooming, take off their shoes, move into a mud and…

Pong - an unpleasant or offensive odor. May also be used as a verb.

You ain't cool unless you pee your pants.

Urkel! Gladly!

People who back into parking spaces.

Looks like the peanut butter, dressing, and summer sausage are the biggest offenders there. There are a lot of brands of sausage that are healthier than the one in your diary. Chicken sausage, turkey sausage, etc. And ditto the posts above about reducing quanitities on peanut butter, dressing, and bread. Switching to…

You've averaged 2.5 lbs lost over the last two weeks. That's a very aggressive pace. Your week 1 loss certainly included a lot of water and bloat - that's the "Week 1 Bloat" falling off. Do your clothes fit better? Do you feel better? Those are better benchmarks. Don't obsess over the scale. If you're doing the right…

1. Cherry Zero 2. Coke Zero 3. Pepsi Max 4. Diet Dr Pepper 5. Diet Coke (with Lime if possible) 6. Diet Mt Dew 7. Jones Soda Diet Black Cherry 8. Diet Canada Dry Diet Pepsi is gross. And any soda/pop that normally has caffeine and has been decaffeinated is a fail. Caffeine Free Diet Coke? What's the point? Yuck.

Bodies need calories to fight illness. You should eat AT LEAST at maintenance until you're feeling better. Speaking from experience, when I am sick I feel better faster when I eat more and I stay sick longer if I try to stay at a deficit. It's like sending soldiers to battle without giving them bullets - how is your body…

My knees hurt if I do squats and go anywhere near parallel, which is one reason I don't do weighted squats. Air squats are OK for me if I'm careful. I have bad knees from carrying too much weight for too long, so I figure I have worse problems in store as I get older. Also my knees point out when my feet are pointed…

Mine are also crunchy, have been for years. Sounds like bubble wrap. I've gotten scanned and prodded and everything, and my doc says it's just loose cartilage. If it doesn't hurt, don't worry. That's what I was told anyway. I asked if I should get them scoped and they said all that will do is leave me with no cartilage.…

She'll grow into it.

I don't drink coffee because I find it to be disgusting. I do drink multiple Coke Zeros / Diet Dr Peppers every day though.

The other day some dude puts down a floor mat in the squat cage - the ONLY squat cage in the gym - and starts doing leg raises. On the floor. In the squat cage. He's lucky he made it out alive. And as far as old guys waving their droopage around in the locker room, WTF? Even worse, they'll try to strike up a conversation…

500 cal diet + HCG = 500 cal diet + wearing bunny slippers You may lose weight eating 500 cals a day, but it has nothing to do with the HCG. And 500 cals a day is a bad idea in and of itself, as many have already stated.

You rang?

Tequila.

That's Michaelangelo. Duh...

I had a PF membership for a while. I can see why they are going for the business model they're going for - people who want to use free weights won't be happy there anyway, and so if you've got mostly people who are there to do cardio, do some light machine weights, and tan themselves, you're going to irritate most of them…
