Would send. Would not call popo!

In a heartbeat!

Then he doesn't know what's good for him.

After the body shot thread, I think that'd be a sure thing. And yes, I would.

yes. and yes.

I crave for carbonation. Luckily there's soda water!

Of course.

The little paper shorts that they give me at the massage place no longer split when I climb up on the table!

It's a lot easier to get my wallet out of my back pocket these days.

Don't confuse the issue. Exercise is completely NOT NECESSARY to lose weight. I'm not saying "Don't Exercise." I'm saying "Get a grip on your fork, before you get a grip on a barbell."

I'm a data nut... so I feel your pain. For whatever reason (OK, I'm an Engineer, that's the reason!) having the DATA keeps me motivated. I love my Withings Smart Body Analyzer. The app lets me view my progress over 1/3/12 month intervals. And I can keep track of my kids growth, etc. It's a good tool. I've tested the…

Congrats on the GREAT loss "so far!" I love eating peanuts with the shell! Not sure what the shell is made of,(probably all cellulose) but I'm guessing you'll get plenty of fiber! Here in China it's hard to find salty peanuts, so I always have some when we head to the ballpark back home!

Bring it!

Definitely naked. But I have my own. so it's moot.

Here's my take on joint sups: No data to support them. But by God, when I was having knee pain, I took some Glucosamine and I'll be damned if my pain didn't go away. So, was it the supp, or the placebo effect? I have no idea. Agree on the deload for pain. Also RICE. (Rest Ice Compress Elevate) Elbow pain does sound like…

Look harder. There are several studies out there. In fact, they even studied people who already stretch before running, and people who don't. They discovered: People who change their pre-workout routine get injured. So, if you already stretch, keep stretching. If you don't stretch, don't start. If you REALLY want to…

As long as you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight. Oats and Milk are a good breakfast. If you want to gain weight, add some butter and brown sugar.

This is a very good general rule. I also generally tell people they don't need to apply it until they're running more than 3 miles at a time, or more than 10 miles in a week. I think when you're first starting to run, that having that "break out" run is very important. If you artificially limit your runs to 1.1 miles, then…

Switch to mineral/soda water. I figured out that mostly, I just loved the BUBBLES in soda. I admit that I have a slight addiction currently to lime-flavored Perrier. It's a little pricey,but one large bottle costs about $2 here in Beijing and lasts me 3 days, or so. So, not really any more expensive than Soda.

In order: As far as you want. If you're going east, you're going east. You're not going west. Ever. Unless he has really bad grammar or the pony is wearing a cap, he's calling the feather Macaroni. They do. I constantly see tattoos in English here in Beijing. They can be, and they are.…

All fruits and dairy have sugar. Fructose and Lactose, respectively. Most yogurts (not sure about greek yogurt) have added sucrose or HFCS (or some sort of artificial sweetener or sugar alcohol) as well, to make them sweeter.

Clarification: Jogging/Running is NOT great for weight loss. Eating fewer calories than you burn is great for weight loss. If you want to eat the same things you're eating today, but still lose weight, then you need to burn more calories. To do that, you can run. And you need to run a LOT, every day. At 126 pounds, You can…

"Recommended" is: Do whatever you need to do in order to motivate yourself and stay committed. If measuring will encourage you, then do it. If not, then don't. You're overthinking... "move more, eat less" is something you've already mastered. Go do more of it. :^)

You've lost 65 pounds already. You want to lose 30 more. You're already eating at a deficit. Is it working? Leave it alone. slow and steady wins the race, is sustainable, and is easier to "adjust" when you hit your weight loss goal. Just keep doing what you're doing, don't mess with success. ETA: changed "calorie goal" to…

Find things that you like that are full of fat and/or starch and sugar. Use lots of oils while cooking, if you can. Don't buy lean cuts of meat. If you're currently eating chicken, try to switch to beef or pork. Are you more likely to drink than eat? Make some sort of shake that has a fair amount of sugar in it, along with…

This is GREAT. Really shows a commitment and dedication to your goals. Keep it up!

You need to add: more miles, a day of speedwork, more miles, and follow that with more miles. More miles will also help. Finally, if you can find some time to add miles, it seems to help most people. Increase your mileage slowly. Try to add 10% to your longest run every week, and increase your total mileage for the week…

Bad News: You ran 2.5m miles continuously.... you're a runner. Oh, sure, you SAY you're not a runner. But you're going to start looking up 5k races on the internet. Curiosity is going to win out. Or, someone is going to ask you to sign up so that you can "raise money" for something. You're going to start looking at shoe…

I've been loving Perrier with lime. IT's not the sweetness in soda that I like, it's the bubbles!
