I'd say ease into it... walking and swimming.

I got off my blood pressure and statin meds, bought my first house, and learned how to spin fire staff. \o/

Think of it as having two parts: weight loss and health. Weight loss will happen with ANY food as long as you stay under your calorie allowance. Health is much more complex and obviously fruits, veg, lean meat, fish, and nuts are better for you than any processed crap in a tin or box... but you already knew that I suspect.…

As heavy as you can go without hurting yourself. Read "The new rules of lifting for women", that's all the info you'll ever need.

Both.

A few months back, a friend in England introduced me to Frank Turner. His music is British folk-rock with a hint of Celtic to it. If you enjoy things like The Levelers or Mumford and Sons, you'll probably love him. It's his lyrics I like the most, every song is genuinely inspiring - makes me want to just get up and live a…

If you really want to mark a machine as your own all you have to do is urinate on it.

A work colleague got an interesting xmas gift from her parents last year - a surprise visit... plus the bill for their plane tickets.

That was golden. Thanks for sharing!

Prozac alone is not making you gain weight. Your behavior must have changed so that you are either less active, more nommy, or both. Prozac or no, if you maintain an energy deficit you will lose weight. I've been losing steadily while on Prozac for the past year.

I'd rather place my balls on an anvil and hand out hammers.

It depends how much pasta you mix it with.

The picture of the man had more nipple showing than the picture of the woman. This is sexist. I demand gender equality.

You had your thyroid checked?

I sincerely hope whoever decided to do that to that poor terrified animal gets cancer and dies rotten.

That was the loudest office lol I've done in weeks.

If I can't eat my bacon, just kill me now.

This is not fair, because I think I'm pretty fair-middling on the old IQ stakes, but my wife is a freak. She solves Sherlock mysteries before Sherlock does. She has weird genius modes of thinking so far outside the box that you can't even see the box from where she's standing. She runs circles around me.

Should've just punched her in the boob.

Oh man, how the heck did I forget SideSteel? :grumble:

I don't think you're eating enough. I calculate your BMR as somewhere around 1200. If you're working out 5x per week then your TDEE (Total daily energy expenditure) could be somewhere as high as 1900 cals. Knock a sensible 20% off that and I'd say a sensible number for you to eat would be 1500 cals per day. That's just a…

Steve Troutman. Ninerbuff and Tigersword very close runners up. BrettPGH for that too often neglected side of things - the right attitude.

This guy is over 900 years old and every woman I know wants to go to bed with him.

That sounds awfully... expensive...

I opened bananas the wrong way round until I was 35 years old.

What is toilet paper? I just use three seashells.

Geekly was one of the first on my friends list. Aside from being awesome and badass, she is also an inspiration because of how much success she's had on her weight loss journey. Best of all though, she calls me on my bs... just yesterday I said I was gonna get on my stationery bike for an hour and I never got around to it.…

I've never heard of indented cysts before but if you are getting ruptured hair follicle cysts that are clearing themselves up then I guess it's possible that the small indents could be remnants of them? If that many doctors have seen them and aren't worried then you shouldn't be too worried either. If the cosmetic aspects…

Cos my last pic didn't seem to work...
