Eventually it will get too hot though

I agree with the posts above, don't do it. 'Natural' pills can still cause you a lot of problems, perhaps even more so because there is nobody who is prescribing you the pills who can check that what is in them isn't going to react badly with your current medications. There really is no need, particularly so if your…

I've experienced some shockers: - turned up 45 mins late - cried - *****ed about his ex for an hour - discovered he had forgotten his wallet when we went to pay, he'd ordered a very expensive steak and said he'd pay me back for his half... am yet to see the money - got drunk before the date and then during dinner described…

I drink 2-3 cups a day max during winter, and my pee is clear. I eat lots of fruit and veg, a cup of coffee each morning, milk in my cereal and I don't go overboard on sodium. Personally I think the 8 cups a day is madness, for me that amount of water makes me feel ill. your needs vary depending on climate, diet and how…

It varies by machine because it varies radically by person. A heart rate monitor will help you measure it more accurately.

True Weight for iPad/iPhone. Nothing required except your weight

The guy cried... while telling me the story about how he met a foreign exchange student at a party, slept with her twice that week and then she left for a quick road trip before flying home. He decided to read a lot into "you're really sweet Mike, but it's not going to work because I'm going back to the USA in a week" and…

Swimming. Although you can't feel the sweat a red face and increased heart rate should happen. Or jump on a stationary bike

It actually sounds like 'restless leg syndrome'. Google :) Actually ignore that, I misread and thought you were getting symptoms after your run not during.

I just don't enter into a conversation with bad foods, because I hate the way they talk back to me. Unless of course I'm having a good day in which case a small conversation can be managed.

Sounds like an oxymoron

Noooooooo, god nooooo. Fat cells are full of FAT! Duh Water weight is around 5lb of water that sits in your muscles and liver to hold glycogen, or your carbohydrate reserves. When you go into calorie deficit your body uses up this storage of glycogen for energy, thereby releasing the water. When you eat more again your…

It makes sense if you want to still have some hair left when you reach your goal.

Oh God, what an impossible situation! Phil sounds like he should be castrated, and your friend should have listened to your advice. I know best friends can expect a lot of each other but in saying that your friend chose to sleep with him, knowing he's bad news, and I think if she disregarded your advice to start with, as…

Yes, perfectly calculated! Good luck

You are taller and leaner than the average American woman. Stats from the CDC show the average weight to be 166.2 lb and height 5'3.8" (2012 data), plugged into a TDEE calculator is 1960 cal/day for a sedentary 40 yo female. I've no idea whether the 2000/day is including exercise or not but the figure isn't far off the…

Perhaps cooked might make her tastier too

Well she had an ED before she took up her banana fanaticism, and IMO eating a bizarre diet like this and feeling the 'need' to do that much exercise looks suspiciously like another form of disordered eating (just hiding under a banana skin). She's the last person I'd be believing when it comes to the importance of having a…

I do. and I use an app on iPhone called 'True Weight' that basically looks at trends in your weight fluctuations to report your 'actual' weight. I find it helpful

wait, what?

Well the 'average' woman in the USA is overweight, so I think that's probably not too far off the truth

Now why would you need to detoxify your liver??

Just do it anyway, she's obviously malicious and trying to hold you back. If you want to be a hit with the strippers there's this great supplement I can recommend, it works wonders, melted all my fat away in just 10 days...

I will sometimes use 'Quick Add Calories' for this type of thing. Sometimes I'll add the actual item but when it's 0.1 of a serving of something it can get a bit tedious. So I estimate, although I think I go for overestimation rather than under.

Haha just read the rest of this, great troll!

Sounds like you have got a great handle on that whole 'compromising to make your relationship work' thing, huh.

Hi Ollie, I've suffered moderate winter depression every year for the last decade so a lot of what you wrote rings a bell for me. Hope you are able to pull out of it, I know it can be a long road and also a very frustrating one. This winter is the first that I've been able to avoid it, and I'm feeling pretty good about…

I used a calorie deficit from diet and more exercise and magically the fat disappeared. Anything that requires you to take pills with fancy-named ingredients that will 'kick-start your metabolism', 'curb cravings' or 'melt fat' is suspect, unlikely to achieve what it says on the bottle, expensive and unregulated. There is…

Couch to 5k is a good program to help build you up. Also, slow down. Run as slowly as you can until you can do 30 mins without having to walk, then start thinking about trying to go fast. No point running too fast if you end up having to stop because of it.

Thanks Varda! I managed to push to out to 20 mins today so I think you're right, a couple of weeks and I'll be back :)
