HOLY [EXPLETIVE DELETED]! You did GREAT.

:drinker: Wait, now I feel like a very dirty person for acknowledging that.

I am carefully reading responses to your question because I'd love to know too. I work a desk job, but I walk from the station to my workplace, and back at the end of the day. It is a 1.3 mile walk each way, but the problem is there are loads of other people walking and there are traffic lights that I clearly need to stop…

Yes. I have gorgeous hair. It is black, shiny, pantene commercial worthy. I am just waiting for the rest of my body to catch up to its awesomeness.

Okay, I just saw your example. What is happening is a classic pattern. You may think this is the best you can do. Or perhaps you think if you did something, he would change. He says horrible things. You feel hurt, but endeavor to do better next time. Thus, you inadvertently become an enabler for his behavior. You are…

I can't do that! This is a family friendly forum, is it not? The part that I can talk about: Is totally not scared by large muscular men. Thinks they are awesome.

I will concede that every FREAKING relationship columnist in the known universe has pushed the "advice" that if your spouse is suddenly making the effort to look attractive, fit, young etc, it may be a sign that they are cheating or preparing to cheat. So this assumption is not unheard of, though most secure, sane people…

I take cold showers for er...other reasons. But I suppose that would explain my shiny hair.

Aha! A man once hit me up with this precise email. 1. Sylvia likes you. 2. Do you do **al? 3. If I give you bus fare to Macon, Georgia can you visit for #2. First of all, my facebook profile has me looking all professorial, and talking about my PhD thesis and work experience, which involves multivariate statistics and…

:laugh:

Was she sending evil text messages? Was she using the iphone to summon demons from hell? Was she hitting other children with the iphone? Was she telling other kids that they are neanderthals because they don't have one and then taking photos of them and posting them with the "DORK" label on facebook? Was she having long,…

Heh. I'd think if "Greg" (the OP) started getting *periods*, his fat %age would be the last thing on his mind... But I agree with what you said.

I have the EatSmart Precision GetFit Digital Body Fat Scale Now frankly, I do not think this (or any scale used at home) is an accurate estimation of fat %, but I use it to track changes over time. I would recommend it highly because of the large display size, the good looks and the fact that their customer service is the…

I am just beginning to understand how nice it is to have someone root you on as you root them on. I do a lot of motivating/acknowledgements. Would like to add friends who like to return the favor.

1. I have tried raspberry ketones in gummies. My colleague has a jar that I keep...er...borrowing from and I can absolutely vouch for the fact that the gummies are delicious. I didn't take them for weight loss, and didn't notice any. 2. Some of my perfumes have raspberry ketones. I don't like it. My body chemistry does not…

Politics. I hate that instead of disagreeing on policy or record, most of politics is all about demonizing a person or their character. It is all about ideology and makes it hard to debate respectfully and disagree without being a *****-bag. That is what is annoying me today. About Chick Fil A, I loathe the sandwich so it…

What kind of weight training do you do? Lunges, squats and the like? Would your parents be okay if you got a workout tape and worked out at home?

For the longest time, it felt like my friends were either of the starve yourself to be under 100 pounds category, or eat what you want, and be unhealthy category. If I dared to tell them they were not being healthy and I was concerned about their habits, I was yelled at, told I was not supportive of their lifestyle…

P90X is a great program, don't get me wrong, but I honestly believe people have different exercise temperaments. Me, I'd do great with a very specific program that pushes me to my limits and does that daily. If you switched up routines on me constantly for variety, I'd hit the wall. To stay motivated for something that is…

30 pounds ago, I was a 36 D. After losing 30 pounds: 36 DDD. I am still scratching my head over that one. I am insisting it is water weight....

I don't need any advice (yet) but wanted to say "what an nice bloke" to make such an offer. With the amount of info floating around, the more people to give objective, knowledgeable advice, the better, I say.

My butt is fine so my reason for doing BBL to reduce my hips and better define my lower half (which it also claims to help with). I am on week 4 and I have lost precisely...er...nothing. I can't see any difference, either and my snug pants are not fitting any differently. I did Slim and Shape. Have just transitioned to…

These are wise words. I think once you are happy with yourself, then dating becomes a lot easier and you have a better chance of finding someone who appreciates you for who you are. But if you want to date, think of it as a nice chance to potentially meet some good people. If something more happens, great. If not, at least…

You have your long term goal down pat. The basics are simple. Burn more calories than you consume. How you do it, is the tricky part. MFP is very helpful in three areas. Telling you what your caloric needs are for your weight loss goals, helping you stay on track by helping you log in exercise and nutrition and also making…

Hi, It will help me if I knew what kind of life you led. How long is your work day? How early does it start? Do you have a long commute? Do you have time to prepare your own meals? Do you have a very strict grocery budget? What is your weight loss goal in terms of size?

The problem is people confuse the hows with the whats. What you need to do is to create a caloric deficit between what you consume and what you use. This is the non negotiable part. How you do it is the tricky part. That is individual. I think what people try to do in their desire to help is tell you what worked for them.…

Pulparindo extra hot. It is an obscure little mexican candy. Indian food. Some days I can kill for a good spicy curry and an ice cold lager. A simple chocolate bar. I constantly crave flaming hot, sour and salty things. I often crave meat. I rarely crave carbs. I never crave anything sweet. My solution? I make a grilled…

Well, I am certainly positive. I log in everyday to track food/exercise, but I am active with advice/encouragement only on weekends. If that is okay, I could do with some positivity too.

So much this. Or "I went through so much trouble to make it, and you won't go through the trouble of eating what I made" And let is not forget "There are starving children in [Insert country they do not belong to]." Which is ironic because my Indian friend's mother would tell me there are starving children in China, while…

There are a lot of cultures that think of feeding you as a sign of showing love because of the love and care that went into the preparation. And when you reject that food, it is like rejecting the love they are bestowing on you. My best friends in college? Jewish, Italian and Indian. I am pretty sure their mothers saw me…
