The only way to lose weight is to do so in small amounts. Lose 1 pound per day for two weeks and your body will be so starved that it will replace all the weight and then some over the next two weeks. So not only will have been terribly unhealthy, but you'll actually put weight on before Christmas, rather than losing it.

4500 calories isn't that crazy when you think about it. How much do you eat on Turkey Day? Considering that 2500 calories is what the average adult male is supposed to eat to maintain weight then that's not all that impressive. You could probably make 2500 just on dessert and snacks. If you spend ONLY ONE football game…

A nice person doesn't treat somebody this way. There are people who ARE nice and people who ACT nice. There are even some people who have a good heart but a bad head (they mean well but they are oblivious to how they make others feel) which is arguably worse. The most foolish are those that think they are wise and the…

So in other words, you're saying that the parents are packing calorie rich foods for small people looking to make massive gains in body size over the next several years? Don't get me wrong, setting good habits young is important BUT so is eating junk food. Most of us here are trying to lose weight but most kids should be…

It really depends on how much you walk. I happen to work in retail so ask yourself a few questions: How often do you have to leave the register? If you stand near the register about 80-90% of the time then you may not want to record it. You'll still get maybe 100 calories but you may just want to keep that as extra in the…

A couple of things. First, you are right that your weight is in the "healthy" range (I'm 5'11"). However, if you are trying to maintain your weight without adding muscle then you can't lose the fat either. To stay at your current weight, you'd need to offset the weight you lose with muscle gains. This is essentially what…

She's way out of line. Whatever motivations she has, it's not healthy for anyone at all. Not only will she be friendless after her wedding but she's going to end up with a maidless wedding (which I'm sure she'd agree is a detriment to the wedding). She can't see the wedding for the Bridesmaids and when she's done, she'll…

I can't say that I've ever done it but I can't say (from what I've heard) that it's overly good for you. 10 lbs in 6 days is quite awful. Most would recommend that you should take about 6 times as long to lose that much weight not because it's impossible but that kind of rapid weight loss isn't good for your system to…

You're doing 2-3 hours of very vigorous exercise every day and eating 1200 calories. You may be netting 600 or less after you remove the exercise. It sounds like you are either starving for calories and your body is trying to hang on to whatever it can OR you are really packing on a lot of muscle. Either way, odds are that…
