Add me to the rungry people. Inexplicably, a 10 mile run does not burn off a whole pizza. It's a crying shame.

I'd probably find it a little helpful. Especially if they would say something at like the +2 lbs level. I have really good self-image - too good. By the time I notice I'm like +10 or +15.

She's been on MFP forums too long?

I'm way ahead of you: Celery Salt Diet

Sure, you could make a smoothie. Just count your calories. Fruit is not "free".

I send those to my wife pretty much every day. Poor girl...

:) Nah. I've discovered "Ranger panties" at like $3 a pair.

I support any movement that provides shorter shorts. I hate basketball shorts. Shorts are not supposed to touch your calves.

I did a 5 hour energy before and peanut butter m&m's during. I'm not totally sure a half really requires a very complex fueling strategy unless you are super skinny or something.

"Best" is really subjective. I use "Body Fortress" from Walmart. It's pretty cheap, tastes ok, has protein. :) I usually mix the vanilla with orange fiber for an orange cream sort of taste and increase my fiber a bit too.

Oh, 1 bell you do want (IMO) is quickset buttons for each mph. Mine does +-2 mph and I think it is a hassle, especially for things like intervals (like you do in c25k or similar programs). Another is perhaps heart rate capability. Not the silly grippy ones - those are pointless. But the ability to use a chest strap with it.

If you are just planning to walk, I'd just buy a mid-market (Nordic track, Spirit, Sole, Precor, Reebok,etc) treadmill. Preferably used. And preferably non-folding (more sturdy design). They rate out at 300+ limits, have decent sized motors, etc. And walking puts quite a bit less stress on it than running. If you are going…

Great job!

One problem with a conversation like this (and a forum like this) is that, seemingly to a lot of people, the opposite of "judge" is "accept all of my excuses and commiserate with me".

50% (In before the math gets hard.)

There is a difference between science, headlines and hearsay. There are some studies that show this insulin response and some that don't (and the usual host of study design issues). There is not an established causal rationale for this possible effect. Some say it is due to sweetness (which of course would occur with sugar…

Well, it is 210 calories that you might enjoy more in another form. You can probably do better with "Mio" or similar in there.

But the phone sanitizers definitely go on the A-Ark this time...

Nope. Not missing anything. My insurance company wanted me to see one several years ago. Complete waste of time. It was like junior high health class, "This is a portion of meat, this is a portion of bread", etc. There might be a point to them for some people, like if you really don't know how to read a nutrition label,…

$63 US though. < My excuse. :) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001U0OFCS/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Who knew that the Canadian dollar was so strong? :)

You must dust more than I do...

I like it, but I think trendy foods are creepy so I avoid it... Meanwhile, let's discuss this "Phoenetic" you allude to...

Well, I would not eat them...

My Florida oranges are all from Florida too :(

Nothing he said seems incorrect or particularly biased. -You are satisfied at your current intake -You are losing weight well (great job BTW) -Morbid obesity has huge health risks (that he is probably appropriately focused on) -You are primarily concerned about his medical advice based on other people's non-medical advice…

Within certain constraints (famine, poverty and cannibalism come to mind) you get to put whatever you want into your mouth. While the consensus seems to be that it is wrong (wasteful, mental, etc...) eating slower and leaving food on your plate aren't, IMO, bad habits. I don't take home leftovers (except pizza). And I…

Something similar worked for Milo of Croton. Although, you may want to switch to a calf later to ultimately meet your goals.

I agree. You could even re-think your goals too. I dropped about 120 lbs last year. I just maintain now. I'm concentrating more on other things (like running) than weight loss right now. I still have about 20 lbs that I could stand to lose. But it's just not as urgent and important as it was 100+ pounds ago. So, yeah. Just…

Yeah, I had the same issue. I overcame it by treating the ingredients as ingredients and store them separate. I mix up a medium sized bowl of it and pack it into snack sized ziploc bags once a week. This lets you tweak the flavors and textures for each batch.
