And for those of you who don't know Alice Roosevelt Longworth, a couple of other great quotes of hers: On another occasion, asked by a Ku Klux Klansman in full regalia to take his word for something, she refused, saying, "I never trust a man under sheets." To Senator Joseph McCarthy, who had jokingly remarked at a party,…

It will at least get you in the neighborhood. And all it takes is a scale for your weight and a tape measure.

Alice Roosevelt Longworth, great socialite, daughter of Teddy, wife of Nicholas Longworth, former speaker of the house for whom the Longworth House Office Building in DC is named. She was the one with the quote "If you haven't got something nice to say about someone, come sit beside me". She was the very definition of the…

Do you mean the "If every day was like today, you'd weigh XXX in 5 weeks"? I think most of us sort of shrug that one off. But as far as using the food diary to track what I eat, I can't do without it. It holds me acountable to myself. I wouldn't have had the results I've had without the food diary.

One of my favorites is the one that I have adopted as best describing me. From Shrek: "You have the right to remain slient. What you lack is the ability".

The online calculators aren't bad, but at least in my case, were overstating my bodyfat. I had been using the average of the 3 bodyfat calcualtors over at Fat2FitRadio.com. They normally tracked pretty closely when I had been measured using calipers. But Monday I found out they were off. I went into the BodPod on Monday to…

Must be easy to lose weight, considering how hard it is to find virgins. Now THAT is a restrictive diet.

And they'll lose to the bye too. On a last minute interception thrown by Romo.

I have to go old school. Really, really old school. Like early 17th century madrigal old school. The Silver Swan written by Orlando Gibbons. All in about a minute 20 seconds. The silver Swan, who, living, had no Note, when Death approached, unlocked her silent throat. Leaning her breast upon the reedy shore, thus sang her…

5'6", 155 pounds, 18.2 pounds fat, 136.8 pounds lean. Of course, if you have any suggestions on how to grow taller, that would be appreciated too. :)

Thanks to a thread like this, I weigh everything now. The 1/2 cup of oatmeal every morning, that was supposed to be 40 grams? The 1/2 cup was actually about 52 grams. Peanut butter is a big offender so I weigh every sandwich when I'm making it. At dinner, I weigh everything. Obviously you can't when you are eating out, but…

Why? 95 pounds, unless you are 5'0" or shorter, seems underweight to me. Anything over 5'0" would put BMI under 18 at 95 pounds. And why bump a 2 year old thread? Something seems a bit odd.

^^^^ THIS. Over and over and over again.

The one suggestion was the corect one: you need to be logging EVERYTHING you eat, and all your exercise. That will give you a good idea of where yuo are and where to go. No cheating, no forgetting to log something. And it's free. As far as exercise, do whatever you can. It's good you know not to try the fad diets. They are…

His life is so boring, the NSA doesn't even bother to listen to his phone calls.

That is SOOOO true. As I whined about to my trainer yesterday. lol (along with a pedi too). TNP has a contract with a tanning salon.

FR Request. Practically neighbors -- 30 miles away.

I heard a story on ESPN this morning that probably sounds true. It said that one time Cris Carter sort of went Dez Bryant once. Warren Moon was his QB. After that, Warren went to him and said "If you ever do that again, I will never throw you the ball ever again". Carter never did it again. Romo needs to do the same thing.…

Yes and no. Would it have been great to have lived authenitcally my entire life? You bet. But I also know that I am of the age that had I been out my entire life, I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I would be dead now, killed during the first days of AIDS. Even though in the closet, I still lost too many friends and…

I came here because my trainer told me to. He's on here and he wanted me to join so he could track what I was eating to help in my weight loss. Guess what? It works. I'm at maintenance now, down 50 pounds. Now working back up, but as muscle. I didn't discover the forums for a few months. Now even though I'm at maintenance…

Oh, you're the class clown I see. A late bloomer and all of 28? Oh puh-leaze sister. I was twice that when I came out. I came out 3 years ago (I'm 58 now). Well let me put it this way: I came out the first time 3 years ago. I've discovered really that life is a series of coming out. At least it is for me. It's funny. My…

You are right that there are some people that it will help. And for those people, I hope it works. But the vast majority of people will be looking at it as the "magic pill" which will let them lose weight without effort, without struggle, simply because they DO lack the discipline and motivation to do it. And yes,…

"It is unlawful in Virginia to hunt or kill any wild bird or wild animal, including any nuisance species, with a gun, firearm or other weapon on Sunday, which is hereby declared a rest day for all species of wild bird and wild animal life, except raccoons, which may be hunted until 2:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings." In…

The roadmap the prior poster gave you is a great tool. But let me try to break it down for you. I ran your numbers on a couple of different websites to check for consistency. I checked Scooby's Workshop, Fitness Frog, and IIFYM. All agree your BMR is around 1485. Even assuming your workout is fairly moderate at 3 days a…

Thanks for this. But of course, men of my age always have to do a quick translation for ED. At my age, ED means something entirely different. :)

Hi Wayne -- yes, you are the only one who feels intimidated at the gym. Except for every other person there. lol. We all feel like that, except for the few who are so totally blessed with so little self-awareness they are oblivious to the world. AKA the meatheads. So my advice about that -- screw it. You are there for you…

For me, it's anything that has something I can do at karaoke. What gay boy doesn't want to be doing musical theatre songs at karaoke. Come on, if we don't do that, they'll take our gay card from us, right? So lately, for me, it's been Jekyll and Hyde (This is the Moment, and Bring on the Men, which is great when a guy does…

I've accepted every friendship request I've ever received. I've been blessed with the most amazing friends here on MFP. Friendships, gay and straight, young and old, male and female. Friends on 5 contintents, in a dozen countries or more. But I especially love supporting friends from my LGBT community. So, by all means,…

Now THAT'S comedy. Thanks for the laugh.
