  • Some amateur effort in here lads... (I'm the one that isn't my missus)
  • Ch-Ching, by Chairlift. In work so can't link to YT I'm afraid, but it's worth finding.
  • "Should I" is kind of a loaded question - it's going to be a case of what fits you. Personally, I tend to only eat back a percentage of my exercise calories (and sometimes none at all), but if you're bumping around near the minimum healthy intake it probably wouldn't hurt to eat some of it back. But if you're finding it ok…

  • As a tip, weighing daily won't give you a clear picture day-to-day. Your body doesn't know what you're trying to do so it'll hold/lose water weight as per what it needs at any given time. By all means weigh as often as you personally feel the need to, but try to look at the longer term trend when attempting to observe…
  • Their gammon steaks are very tasty. Reasonably low calorie (even more so if you trim the fat), but salty so be aware you'll retain water the next day. So don't eat them the day before weigh-day!

  • Sup. If you need someone to offer support as you go, feel free to add me. I'm a nice guy - only killed that one time, and in my defense, I was provoked... ;)
  • To echo what basically everyone has said in this thread: 1) no, you didn't gain 6lb of fat. You're retaining water because you ate salty food. It'll come back off in a few days if you eat well and stay hydrated. 2) Stop weighing yourself daily. Your weight naturally fluctuates day-to-day and during the day to boot. There's…
  • I came here to say what thebigcb already said. And steal that cat gif. OP, please re-evaluate your life.
  • An eating disorder is not the same as an addiction. The sooner you stop treating them as the same thing the better for your health. Your problem isn't a physical addiction, it's a psychological compulsion. Well, IANAD, but that's how it seems from what you've said. In any case, unless you've been both a junkie and a "food…
  • "I Hate Hate Haters" by NOFX It's OK Allow yourself a little hate Hatred is not so bad When directed at injustice You can turn the other cheek Just don't turn the other way Etc. So yeah, it's fine to hate people who are doing wrong, or criticise people who are losing in an unsafe, stupid way. In the case of the article OP…
  • This is horse s**t. The reason it's making you hungry could be anything - it's more than likely just your personal reaction to it. I mean, it's sweet, but has no nutritional value, so your body might just start wanting sugar etc? Either way, I doubt there's a standard scientific explanation for it. But yeah, everyone on…
  • You've misunderstood. Your body burns calories CONSTANTLY. Obviously more so when you're exercising than not, but nonetheless. You seemed confused by what BMR was. Your BMR is the amount of energy your body requires to function without going wrong. This number (1,333 in your case) is the BARE MINIMUM number of NET calories…
  • Be careful if you're thinking of using St. John's Wort and are a female taking the contraceptive pill - St John's Wort will mess with it and make it ineffective! Just a heads up :) As far as SAD is concerned, I recommend the natural light lamps you can get - an hour or so of an evening with the lamp on while you read or…
  • You've heard of Atkins, I presume? You basically DO only eat Meat, eggs etc, because you're having to keep your carbs so low that you can't afford to have the veggies etc. If it's medically recommended because of diabetes or something then keto seems fine to me but it's not something I'd do voluntarily - seems like more…
  • By eating 1500cal a day you ARE creating a deficit most likely (You really can't know that for sure without calculating your Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR). Google for BMR calculator or TDEE calculator. Put in your stats, work out your sedentary TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) and then set your basic calorie intake to…
  • Pretty sure vagina curtains are something else entirely. And now I feel unwell.
  • I ate too much because I was lonely and depressed and needed comfort. This went on from late 2009 to about 2 months ago, during which time I gained around 70lb. I am now happier and eating more sensibly (not perfect, but better) and I have lost about 8lb over the last month. Today I dipped under the 17st barrier for the…
  • Currently stuck somewhere in the middle of A Tale Etched In Blood And Hard Black Pencil by Christopher Brookmyre. I love his books but for some reason I'm struggling to get through this one. For anyone else looking to get involved in his works I recommend The Sacred Art of Stealing, It's All Fun and Games Until Somebody…
  • WAKE UP, SHEEPLE
  • Nope, after you buy the 22nd apple, you have 22 apples and one wrapper. You can't get any more apples.
  • The dragon died of old age. [should note, I'm not being serious, I think the correct answer has been given]
  • The knight had already drunk from a lower numbered well before they exchanged glasses, and the dragon is dumb.
  • beaten to yet another.
  • Flip the first switch on, leave it for a minute, then turn it off. Then flip the second switch on. Enter the other room. if the light is on, the second switch is the one. if not, hold your hand up to the bulb. If it is warm, the first is the switch. if not, it's the third.
  • Hey - I'm Nathan. Originally from Newport, now in bristol. Happy to offer support etc. Will add.
