It has to be beetles. And you have to smash them with a rock and go "GUHN! GUHN GUHN!" while doing it.

I do running, biking, swimming, etc but I enjoy it, and I find I feel better when I do some of both (lifting and cardio) rather than concentrate on only one. As to whether it's necessary, that depends on what you mean... necessary for what?

You lost 59 lbs, so your doctor's assertion that you wouldn't lose weight on it is directly contradicted by observed reality.

Was this something specified by your TI? I went through in 92 and my experience was nothing like that. I'm pretty sure I had pancakes or french toast smothered in syrup every breakfast, and had pop in addition to my two glasses of water.

Then stop going to ridiculous extremes. If you feel like you're going to die, and still hurt days after, you're doing too much too soon. You don't need motivation, you need patience.

I guess all the people who quit smoking should start up again too, eh?

I've been using a Fitbit One for almost 2-1/2 years and it has always been very accurate at estimating my TDEE. It's also very helpful in showing where/why some non-exercise days are 700-800 calories higher than other non-exercise days, and what a small difference "exercise" really makes as far as TDEE goes. BTW while you…

boy are my arms tired.

Losing excess weight can help your cholesterol situation. Skeletal muscle (and weight loss) can help to increase insulin sensitivity. As far as getting the right amount of calories, you don't take your pill because you're hungry or because you like the taste. You take it because you know your body needs it at this point.…

The syns said, "long haired freaky people need not apply."

Agreed. I've never been at 10% but the difference between 15% and 20% for me is that at 20 I'm just carrying around an extra 12 pounds of fat on my gut that serves no purpose but to slow me down.

By whom? Do you?

Say you get to your goal weight Ok. You get to your goal weight. I got to mine but I also started setting fitness goals. Any weight goals are just a means to hitting my fitness goals. (Weighing less to change my strength/weight ratio so I can run faster, climb farther, etc.) how will that change your life? I have tons of…

Ugly bags of mostly water.

I know what it means, I just want to see if you know what it means! [/1st grade]

So if you eat wheat directly from the stalk that would be fine?

I would compare it to basic hygiene, just like wiping my butt, brushing my teeth, taking a shower, etc. I would also compare it to wearing glasses if my vision needed correction, except it's a corrective lens for my appetite. If you don't need it to maintain and you don't like it, then don't do it. But I spend more time…

On par in what context? Their value to the poster, their value to the viewer, their value to society in general, their monetary value? What exactly are you comparing?

And you think this new and improved mentality will be achieved by calling Mirey a douche and trying to shame her into not posting pics because you're jealous?

What does the study say about people who are extremely concerned with how much pride/vanity anyone else might have?

I bet that flair/flare thing is like lose/loose and constantly drives people nuts on the office space fan club forums. They're probably all like, "yeahhhhh, if you could go ahead and spell it flair, that would be terrific."

I'm awaiting the article that tells me how often I need to blink. Maybe MFP can add that to the log page, like a little eyeball icon that you click to log your blinks so you can be sure you get enough of them every day.

On the bright side, that's the only myth related to diet/fitness.

It would never sell because of how small the font would have to be to fit all that on a magazine cover.

Um, you need to find a way of eating that you can continue for the rest of your life. Whatever you did to get overweight, you aren't going to be able to return to that and not become overweight again. So find something that you are willing to keep doing. And realize that hunger is not going to be forever, once you reach…

My appetite is not properly tuned to allow me to eat the amounts of food that will keep me at the place I want to be, so I use a scale to correct the faults in my appetite. As far as I'm concerned it's comparable to wearing glasses. My 4 and 6 year olds already understand that.

Addition is not a myth.

Eating clean ruins your digestive system and makes it so weak you can't handle any other foods.

Why do you hate the other people who didn't already know that?

Ask her how she thinks the human body can create energy out of nothing. If it could it would be the single biggest discovery in the history of humankind. It could solve our energy problems, end world hunger and many wars.
