Yes, but I have to go back. I'm on call and I left my #@#$#@!#$@#!#$ pager on my desk. GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! TNP cusses enough to make a sailor proud.

At it's simplest, weight loss is nothing more than a math problem. If calories burned > calories eaten, you lose weight. If calories burned < calories eaten you gain weight. It really is that simple. And TDEE is the "calories burned" part of the equation. And the logging part of MFP is the "calories eaten" portion.

Many (most?) of us have ended up as friends with each other as well. And the remarkable thing to me is the geographical diversity. I've got friends in a few dozen states as well as England, France, New Zealand and lord knows where else. I don't get people being catty and *****y and mean and nasty. We're all here for the…

Just wondering. If you "self medicate", do you count the calories? :laugh:

Anybody want to establish a line on how long this puppy will stay open? Half an hour? An hour?

I guess we gay boys just know how to make the party last.

False (ugh). I've never been as overweight as Chris Christie.

If you can't get at least a good hour to an hour and a half of really intense cardio out of it, what in the hell are you doing?

Boy, I sure picked the right day to have a picture of the blue cheese dressing I made last night, didn't I? roflmfao.

Mine is open to friends and most of my friends is open to their friends. We do review each others and comment. Yes we make suggestions and kibbitz, normally in jest. But if I see a trend that is troubling to me, I'll mention it. For example, if someone is habitually WAY under 1200 calories. We get ideas from each other's…

Of course, they don't specificy teaspoon or Tablespoon. Most estimates I've heard are 4 calories per teaspoon. And pure protein. That's what I use mentally in my diary. Oops, was that TMI?

False. I love NYC. I've never been to more than 5 state capitals.

Without a market for it, these charlatans would go away. But then again, so many people are just so gullible, they will believe anything if you make it sound scientific. A fool and his money are soon parted. People desparately want to believe there is a quick and easy solution to all their problems. People want to believe…

You know you're old when you remember motels advertising they had color TVs in their rooms because it WAS a big deal.

I was just wondering, though, are you also the guy who does one rep of the overhead press (badly) with more weight than you could possibly handle, just so you can throw it to the ground making the loudest noise so everyone in the gym will turn and stare at you. Making everyone think how strong you are for lifting such a…

I'm 57 and I'll be happy to kick the *kitten* of anyone who is half or 2/3rds my age, thank you very much. Or at least I'll be happy to die trying. Yeah, I gained weight. And I also had enough wisdom, experience and knowledge to take it off with relative ease. Everyone is amazed at how I did it and I honestly don't think i…

You remember when Mick Jagger actually was sexy. Oops, strike that. He never was. :laugh:

It's a he, BTW. lol (name a take off on the final scene, the Liebestod [or Love Death] of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, my favorite opera] The good thing is that to the best of my knowledge, he hasn't tried to officiate at anyone's wedding yet. :)

True. Who doesn't? TNP has played Truth or Dare with friends.

False. Been to many. Including my 13th birthday gift, when I got to see the SF Giants play, including Juan Marichal pitching with Willie Mays and Willie McCovey. On the day Russia invaded Czechoslovakia. I've never been to Eastern Europe.

Dinner? False. Lunch? True TNP wishes they were wasting away again in Margaritaville.

Any movie that can permanently capture the name Piggly Wiggly has my respect (it was one of the trucks in the lineup leaving the anthrax area. Loved that.

False. Boy is that false. TNP has participated in tipping a cow.

You remember being fascinated by the guys who spun plates on the sticks on the Ed Sullivan show. And wonder what they would do for a living now.

Maybe it's because they are waiting for it to get worse. How? Well you could do it like the guy I saw the other night. I was walking down the steps and this guy was walking up on the same side, head down, not seeing me. He looked up and I almost jumped the railing. Because coming towards me was an Elvis impersonator. So…

Actually, Joyful. Had a great week working out and on the diet. And a lot of MFP friends are doing really well now. We've had a lot of anniversaries in the last day, some really big ones (a few hundreds plus), one crossed into the average BMI range for the first time in years, one bought a new car. And most are doing…

True. TNP is searching for their lost shaker of salt.

For me, it's down to 2, both Mel Brooks classics: Blazzing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Leaning towards Blazing Saddles for one reason: it is the one movie that you simply could not remake. The screams of outrage of the excessively sensitive PC crowd would prevent it. That and where could you ever get a Gene Wilder,…

True (but didn't the last person ask about clowns? lol) TNP has been to a Ringling Brother's circus.

Yes, but it's group therapy consisting of other MFP members. So I don't think it's going to be very effective.
