Asking whether weed causes weight loss or gain is like asking whether watching tv causes weight loss or gain. It depends. If you smoke weed and run a marathon you'll get one answer; if you watch American Idol while scooping sour cream into you mug you'll get another. And vice/versa. The "munchies" are a myth and…

I just go by body fat and how I want to look. Weight itself is too ambiguous. Unless you are losing body fat to the point it is unhealthy, I can't see the problem with losing it.

I just took a bong hit. It made me rethink my thoughts of having cheese enchiladas for dinner. I'm going to have a nice salad instead. I figure I lost a pound in the process.

I don't need any official encouragement, but I think what you are offering is beautiful. I hope the right people take advantage of it. This is a great site.

So if I donate six pints I can drink a bunch more tonight? Cool.

A scale is but a scale, a data point, a transient moment on the road to weight measurement.

I think it's just an increase from your basal load to basic sedentary load.

Exactly, my experience also. So even a cheap scale isn't going to be much worse and this type at least gives you some body fat info. And please go off body fat and how you want to look, not strictly weight. Weight is deceptive, especially when you are exercising.

I've only been on this site for a couple weeks, but this has to be the coolest topic ever. Anyways, to the substance of your question, wouldn't it depend on the weight of what you're getting rid of? Take weight, go to the bathroom, weigh again.

You're welcome. They're usually around 44 bucks, but on a good day you can get one on sale for like 35. I just like that they give you weight, body fat and body water. Again, I don't expect it to be doctor's office accurate, but it gives you a baseline at least to go off of.

Blue, look into the Escali body fat scale at Amazon or Walgreens (free shipping), it gets great ratings and has worked for me perfectly. Sorry if this is considered spam, it's just an honest tip.

You record what you eat, go home, check it out as if you ate it at home?

I weigh myself whenever I feel like it just to see what's going on, but I mainly am looking for body fat. Get a good body fat scale. They're off probably, but it gives you a baseline. Good luck.

Perfectly said Jenna. I won't judge against people who hate weed or alcohol, and I won't judge against people that love it. I agree though with what you say. Most people I know who have done cigarettes or weed or alcohol know that weed is the healthy choice. Cigs are just dumb and poisonous. Alcohol makes you do stupid…

That would depend on when your day begins and ends. I end at eleven pm; eat a yoplait; go to bed at four.

Sorry, I was using the term in the sense that it comes from the ground without processing. Even prozac, etc. are natural in the sense they are derived from earthly ingredients. Let's not split hairs, weed and beer are about as natural as you're going to get. If you don't like beer drinking or weed smoking, attack it on its…

Beer is a natural beautiful thing, as is weed. Half the public is walking around on xanax or some type of prescription drug. These are pills made of plants. There is no reason to think turning plants into white chalky pills is any healthier than the plants themselves. So let us agree, weed is a good thing. As is beer and…

It's simply taking your given calories and adding in the exercise calories. If you don't want to eat them you don't have to.

A great thread for the guys. And remember what Nietzsche said, if you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss will gaze back unto you.

A few random thoughts on your questions: 1. I haven't got into stress training yet. 2. Drinking and sports watching: I drink and watch what I want and make up for it later on. 3. I bike, skateboard, surf when I can. 4. Cottage cheese..., it's a mystery drug.

Is this totally wrong? I don' t go by BMI, I use it as one factor. I try to go by body fat percentage and mirror reality. With a bit of weight measurement, just to go old school. I am seeking a statistical measurement, but not relying on it completely. These are all tools I figure, not determinative math.

You can never go wrong with wine and margaritas.

I wish you the best tyger. I am doing the same in a small way. And don't beat yourself up over setbacks; it's setting the new intention in motion that's the main thing. Carry that through and everything will work itself out. Good luck and all karma to you.

I think Trainer Robin nailed it perfectly. It's not so much about an arbitrary day as it is an ongoing process.

my wife gained 78 pounds, but she had 5 kids.

i'm sorry, but is this not totally depressing or what. I have grandpas and dads and uncles I have seen come back from wars. It is a mess.Can we please take care of these women and guys? Jesus, this is really depressing. I feel like a dork even having to make this point. But really, we need to take care of these guys and…

A binge to me is 12 beers and a few shots, 2500 calories at least. As long as you make up for it during the week, I think you're cool.
