Next time he acts up, ask him straight up, "Is there a problem?" He's probably going to wuss out and say "No, of course not!" Repeat regularly until he finally comes out and says that you shouldn't be taking lunch breaks, then tell him that, as an employee, you have just as much a right to lunch as anyone else. If his…

His legs are probably too short to keep up with an adult's stride. Stick him on a bike so he can keep up and race him around the block.

I actually had an interesting chat with the pharmacist at work. She said that the claims being made about the herb garcenia cambogia are not being supported by scientific, peer reviewed studies because herbs- even herbs being marketed for weight management- are not tightly regulated by the FDA like common drugs and food…

If eating back your exercise calories stalls your weight loss, then don't eat all your calories back. Eat back half of your exercise calories if you must, but find out what works for you. Do what works because it works. Don't do what people say you should do because Dr. Oz/Internet says so/broscience.

Actually, suicide is prevalent in India among farmers because they cannot afford the cost of Monsanto seeds and they cannot afford to leave the farming industry. Monsanto is killing people in a roundabout way.

more pro tips! moar!

1. Die Antwoord's "I Fink U Freeky" 2. Macklemore's "Thrift Shop" 3. My Chemical Romance's "Teenagers" 4. My Darkest Daqys' "Porn Star Dancing" 5. LMFAO's "Shots"

The biggest issue here is the use of the term "disorder." If you do something regularly that interrupts your life, makes daily tasks difficult/impossible, or wreaks catastrophic damage to your personal well being, then it is a disorder. Counting calories? Not a disorder. Spending hours mapping out your meals for the next…

i don't understand your apple shape statement. you are clearly human-shaped, with arms and legs and everything. i suggest strength training to help get toned. crunches, push-ups and dips are all free and can be done just about any time, anywhere. good luck!

i love timers. there's at least 4 of them in my house, 2 of which i own. makes terrible awful dreadful chores seem more trivial.

i feel like you can blame everything on genetics, and it doesn't change anything. i hear it all the time at family reunions- "I'm fat because of my genetics." except that person is usually directly related to someone who is normal-sized, so clearly something other than genetics is involved. now it's going to be "I'm lazy…

this reads like spam.

Why won't YOU take HER last name? Sounds like you're not really committed to the relationship, imho.

words to live by: you will be pretty intelligent you will be pretty creative you will be pretty amazing but you will never be merely pretty.

i had a roommie who thought like that. she once wrote in a letter "some of the girls in my sorority are fat, but the rest of us are pretty." i couldn't decide whether to be annoyed or laugh.

Good read, but it doesn't explain how there can be more calories in an egg depending on how it is heated. If I were to throw an egg sans butter or oil into a nonstick frying pan, why would it be more costly calorie wise than if i were to throw an egg in boiling water? Do you know where I can find some articles to explain…

it shouldn't. according to the laws of conservation, if you start with an egg of 70 calories, heat and pulverize it, it should still be 70 calories. i think MFP adds butter or oil to the scrambled egg because lots of people cook their eggs that way.

Don't fill up on bread. Ask for water (it's cheaper than a soft drink anyway). Try to eat slower than your friends.

I don't think your body will lose weight just in one spot- it doesn't know how. You can tone it, though, with tummy exercises: planks, crunches, etc. Losing weight will shrink your tummy, just not all at once.

You might look too "nice." I used to have a similar problem in high school: round face, pale complexion and Walmart clothes made me look frumpy and other kids picked up on it and would randomly attack me (making moo noises at me, throwing things, spreading gossip). It wasn't until a friend of mine told me I looked too…

You're body doesn't keep track when you eat things together or separate. In fact, it is specially designed to eat all the things! Enjoy!

contestants spend a large part of their days working out. i would gain pounds of muscle on a deficit too if i worked out all day, every day. just something to factor in.

facepalmed myself so hard. did he tell you you'd also feel more comfortable in the kitchen, and that women's suffrage is a pipe dream? GOOD FOR YOU! PUMP IRON REGARDLESS OF WHAT GENDER IS AROUND YOU!

I see correlations about how great breakfast is, but I also see confounds the researchers did not even try to control for. I wish there could be a controlled experiment with randomly assigned participants to give humanity actual, solid data on breakfast.

Are you mad?

Your first couple weeks are going to see impressive results, especially if you have more than a few pounds to lose. It may be an accurate count; you'll see when you return to your university. I wouldn't worry about it.

Are you counting accurately? 5 fruits does not equal 50 calories. A good sized banana is around 120.

In my experience, being a vegetarian means being "special." I had a friend who randomly went vegetarian- she was a fussy person most of the time, always whining about how awful her life was, blah blah blah. Being vegetarian was a way to make herself inconvenient. "Oh, I can't have that. Oh, meat's so bad. I can't eat…

Thank you!
