You're going to gain it back.

Of course take them trick-or-treating -- why not???? In my house, once all the good candy is eaten (chocolate, smarties, skittles), the rest goes in the garbage.

Not sure I understNd the question, but the serving size is just a standard of measure. i.e. if something is measured as 100g being one serving and you have 50g, then you would log 1/2 serving. Simple math. I must be missing something,

I know what would happen to me. I would eventually crack and start eating everything in sight. In fact, I've done it many times in the past. I've learned my lesson. Now I TRACK MY CALORIES and eat enough to feel satisfied.

Just curious...what are your stats? Maybe you hide those 20 lbs so well they just don't see what you see. I had a boyfriend who kept joking that I was going to leave him for a guy named "Jim." (Jim=gym, get it?) Lots of guys are insecure about that, especially if they don't feel so good about how they look. It's…

Drink it if you like it. I don't like it.

*sigh*

I think you misunderstood. The meme is about literal interpretations and how they can lead to misunderstanding the message. In this case, believing that, say, mailmen should LITERALLY be immortal because they walk all day, is as silly as someone believing that Moses LITERALLY parted the Red Sea.

So so sorry. It's hard to lose a pet. :(

The reason "they" say to drink so much water is because so many people are addicted to sodas and other sugary drinks and that is definitely not good for your weight, your kidneys, your pancreas, your teeth, etc. It's part of a public health campaign. (And also marketing to get you to buy bottled water...i.e. Dasani is…

Poor little guy. I'm sorry you're going through this. My chameleon died after a long-term infection brought about by a vitamin deficiency. At the end I was injecting him with antibiotics. It was crazy. My vet, who is really great, says that they're really not meant to live in captivity. If I could have flown him to Kenya…

What happens if you pick him up and put him back on a branch?

Uh oh, I'm sorry to say that sounds pretty bad. I'm no expert, but I had a Jackson's until about a month ago. Pick him up and examine look in his mouth, maybe he got something (a cricket?) caught in his throat. It's gross, but you'll have to reach in there and get it out. How is his tongue? How old is he? How long have you…

Why do you need an excuse? I always keep at least a case in my basement...

To be read aloud with a French accent: "Ze only time white wine is acceptable, is when zere is no more red wine." Yeah, I'm half French, so my love of wine is genetic. Sadly I've cut back a lot because of calories. I used to worry that I couldn't enjoy a meal without wine, but I've adjusted! Now I only have it on weekends,…

LOL!

Nay because they taste bad.

I don't know about linking with other programs, but when you enter weight/strength training do it under the cardio section. It will automatically estimate cals burned for your stats. It's not exact, though, and I do a fair bit of cardio WHILE I weight train, so I use my Fitbit to figure it out. Hope that helps. :)

Very important question: peanut or plain? Because plain are just so boring they're just gone in a second and you need another one. But peanut is a whole different experience. I suck on it first, and when the candy shell is thin and fragile, it cracks and dissolves in the most wonderful way. Then you have to wait for the…

I poked around and he has his own fitness website...he's trying to sell Beachbody/Shakeology and get people to hire him to be their coach/fitness trainer. Nothing about actual credentials.

Not at all surprising. Just because someone is a doctor doesn't mean they know anything about diet, nutrition, or weight loss. I'm married to one and he thinks that the answer to weight control is skipping dinner a few nights a week. A few years ago I went to my primary care doc (who, incidentally, is thin as a rail)…

Maybe she doesn't want to elaborate...she doesn't owe you or anyone else an explanation. I have a friend who got pregnant after her husband had a vasectomy -- surprise. I have another friend who got pregnant because of a rape -- surprise. I have a cousin who was told she could never get pregnant because of severe…

Reading your profile and your posts, it sounds like you're pretty unhappy overall. I'm in complete control of what enters my kitchen, but I'm a lot older than you and my husband is very supportive, so I don't have to share my kitchen or my house with people who eat junk and even tease me about trying to eat healthy. You're…

It's sweet and low calorie, so I consider it dessert. I love apple pie (very American dessert!), and with the right spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and a bit of allspice) I can "pretend" I'm having apple pie without all the calories and fat. Honestly, I don't make it all the time. I went apple picking with my kids last weekend…

Your post is inspiring and motivating...thanks! :) Also congrats on the amazing weight loss.

After reading this thread I should be thankful to my OB for severing all of my nerves when she did my c-section...both times! I don't feel any pain. In fact, I feel nothing from about 2 inches below my belly button down to my scar. It's been almost 7 years now and I don't think it will ever come back. As for having a flat…

I used to make it for my son when he was a baby...pretty sure I didn't use sugar. I came across this recipe on Epicurious and stupidly added the 2 cups of sugar it called for. Tomorrow I'll add more apples and lots of lemon juice.

Good idea, but it'll have to wait until tomorrow. Yes, added sugar...big mistake! Tummy ache :(

Why not reward your kids with something healthy, not carbonated artificially flavored water? Mine get ice cream as a treat.

Congratulations on quitting smoking! A small and silly tip that helped me immensely: cut a plastic drinking straw down to the size of a cigarette. When the urge strikes, hold it like a smoke, "puff" on it, flick the "ashes," etc. People will think you're insane, but it really does help!
