Why not?! I had a maple-glazed doughnut this morning... I felt it was justification after the night I had last night! :smile: I've said this before on this site - the reason people say that losing weight is a "life-long commitment" is because the truth is, one day isn't going to make that much of a difference. You…

That's total BS... My wife gained about 30 pounds the last time I had Tequila... Took her 9 months to "lose it", too... *winky wink*

I purchased from GNC one time - bought a useless product at an exorbitent price. You can find everything and a lot more online, super-cheap. And even then, chances are pretty good that you probably don't need it to begin with... (My $.02 there...)

If I get this new job I just interviewed for, I plan on ordering myself a six-pack of Westvleteran XII from a Belgian supplier for my birthday. Should run me about $300 bucks... :smile:

Well then guess what - grits it is... I get up an extra half-hour early every morning so I can make myself a quick omelette with diced ham, some black olives and cheese. Takes 20 minutes from empty skillet to empty plate.

.............................I'm sorry, what now...? Wait - there's a dress...?

Uuuuh, yeah, call me... :D

By the way you TRUE beer lovers (and brewers) should check out this group! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/11960-craft-beer-and-home-brewing

Well let's see, I've had about 150 beers since August 2012 and I've probably lost 20 pounds in that time-frame. I've been a little heavy on the drinking lately (pay cuts, two jobs, new born baby... I need a stress relief - lol!) Yes it slows your metabolism - for about an hour per beer. If you have a big binge night you'll…

Okay - you win. That was funny. :smile:

Why hasn't everyone in the world realized that the entire world doesn't revolve around them...?

This reminds me of the person who wanted to count the calories in their lipstick... Personally I always thought that Rule #1 of dieting was "don't buy diet products!!" Real butter isn't gonna kill you (unless you use it in Paula Dean portions, then maybe...) I do however drink Diet sodas occassionally, but that's just…

Well, I did just "Wishlist" a Hard Cider from Motor City Brewing Works, in Detroit... Got any of that nearby? Or anything else decent from them? I realize Detroit is more "Eastern" Michigan...

I have a Heady Topper sitting in my fridge. Holding it for a buddy but the *kitten* won't come get it... You want? :)
-
I uh, I really don't think I need to explain mine at all... Yes - it's mine. :)

I never considered MFP to be a "Plan" - I mean seriously, what has MFP told you to do? Nutraslim, Atkins - they give you PLANS. You have to follow instructions and somewhat-strict rules. I don't have patience for that, and I hate having to "plan", especially when it requires me buying commercial products as part of the…

I've used my Magic Bullet to make milkshakes, grind spices, mix baby formula, make blended coffees, grind/chop ingredients for homebrewing, you name it. I love the thing... Now, does it do anything the commercial shows, like making salsa in "three quick pulses" - hell no. But it's still earned it's permanent spot on our…

Here's your proof:

Of course - how else am I supposed to know that I can have a beer with lunch... :wink:

Does anyone know when I'll be able to look forward to an appropriately-themed greeting card from Hallmark? No problem - I'll wait right here....

Sabine_Stroeh, either you're far too ambitious to guide the lost souls out here on MFP, or you seriously need to consider a new hobby or something. Regardless, you're trying to correct stubborness, and all they'll do is drag you down to their level of stupidity and then beat you to death with experience. The reason I…

+1. Eggs are SO easy to make at home, that there's really no excuse for paying 5x as much to have some one else make them for you (with all kinds of extra nasty crap.) And I'm not blaming McDonalds, either - the first thing Waffle House does when you order eggs is drop in a ladle of oil. Don't forget to toss in a dash of…

A slightly-related topic, I was reading "Designing Great Beers" by Ray Daniels, and in the section about stouts he says that in the "old days," doctors recommended that women who were breast feeding drink "1 quart of stout beer" a DAY to provide the extra calories and nutrients required for breast feeding. We may have died…

I've been homebrewing since Christmas of 2010. I started off with a beer kit and did a few extract/partial-mash batches before building my mash-tun for all-grain brewing. Homebrewing is such a snow-ball hobby! It reminds me of my brief experiment with Nitro-RC cars... One purchase leads to another, and on and on it goes!…

Hey thanks for the replies. Rottnme I do agree that people could benefit from some knowledge - I just know these friends. I'm wasting my time trying to teach them anything. :smile: The most fun I've had though is with my father-in-law. He's one of those "raised in an anti-alcohol family" types, and made almost that exact…
-
Yeah - the only problem I have is when people say, "Ugh, I don't like this..." "Why not?" "I dunno - it's just yucky..." "...." I'm hoping the "beer snobs" - who are good friends by the way and I use that term affectionately - can tell me that maybe I mashed too high or fermented too low or didn't have proper water…
-
Wow - I wouldn't have room in my house for 50 people. :smile: Heck when I threw my wife a baby shower we had about 25 and it was a madhouse! Yeah the tastings have really been a lot of fun, except that none of my friends are actual "beer snobs" - so they have NO idea how to rate/judge/taste/etc. This time I'll have about 2…

+1 for the Ben Bailey "Cash Cab Guy" joke reference. :smile: "Hey buddy, I'm lactose intolerant..." "I know - that joke was about you..."
-
Okay I'm back - 7 pages reviewed. Fascinating the range of replies, from the usual "everything in moderation" to the out-and-out lies and misconceptions. I DO think it's a good idea to track the calories of an actual beer - for example I PM'd the OP and pointed out that a 2012 Black Chocolate Stout by Brooklyn Brewery - an…
