  • On the Kitchen Safe website they're on sale...about $35. I know on Shark Tank they were saying they'd really like to get them down to $29.99 which seems appropriate. $50 is too much.
  • I don't know if this the kind of gadget you're talking about, but I watched Shark Tank last night and one of the inventions was a "kitchen safe" (website same name) - basically a goodie jar with a timed lock on it so you can put treats in there and set the timer for when you're going to actually have access to them, up to…
  • I think it's your choice to make. If you've decided that the cost of maintaining a smaller body size is not worth the reward, then who is anyone to tell you otherwise? I just hope that frustration and hunger aren't clouding your judgment. Maybe sit down and write out a list of the pros and cons of each (being bigger versus…
  • If it's a pattern that guys aren't asking for a second date then there's something going on. It shouldn't be your weight if you're being honest in the first place, but I know the #1 complaint people have about internet dates is that people don't look like their photo, i.e. they're older and/or fatter than advertised. Many…
  • It takes between 15 and 20 lbs for me to go down (or up) a size. I'm 5'7".
  • To my 16 to 30 year old self: Don't waste your prime attractiveness years on flaky artists and musicians. Yes, they're hot. But they're never going to be anything but brooding and self-centered. And for God's sake stop buying shoes and BUY A HOUSE. To my 35 year old self: You're going to start gaining weight. Don't let it…
  • I've got a couple of childless girlfriends who don't work - their husbands bring home the bacon and they take care of the house (which doesn't take long so there's a lot of going out to lunch, shopping, etc.) It seems like a great gig. Kids would just ruin it. lol
  • This. I mean, wouldn't the food just fall in your lap if there were no boobs in the way? Is that preferable?
  • I go about once every 2 or 3 months and always get the fishwich and medium fries. Then I open the fishwich and dip the fries in the tartar sauce of which there's always too much. If their shake special is egg nog or caramel I might get one of those too. :)
  • Three boxes purchased by me...so far. Do they even do door-to-door any more? The only ones I see are set up outside of grocery stores.
  • I'm not an emotional eater - when I overeat (usually sweets) it's because it tastes good and feels good in my mah belly! It does satisfy a strong, rather primal-feeling urge, but I don't think that urge is escapism. When I'm at my most stressed, I don't eat at all. Food is pleasure and that pleasure-seeking comes from my…
  • So I would still be doing my job, but for 12x more money? Shoot, I'd have to stay in the area then because my job is location-specific. If it were lotto-money or something, I'd move someplace tropical. Staying around here I'd buy a house on acreage, travel, and save for early retirement. I would also give money to my…
  • I hate to say it , but my top two worst bosses were also my only two female bosses. The second was the worst - I still sometimes daydream about doing bodily harm to her. Her name was Marion (though I kept calling her Marilyn by accident, which I'm sure didn't help matters) and I worked in her department for about a year in…
  • Cry havoc, and let slip the atoms of fat! Yes, I suppose you could loose fat like releasing a pack of dogs if you put it that way. But most people are just bad spellers.
  • Sugar Cherry. More stripper than porn.
  • What's a good mnemonic for people to remember? "The moose is loose"? "Loose laces lose races"?
  • You forgot to preface this with "Here's the myth:". Do you really think fat is made of undigested food? So can I cut my thighs open and find chewed-up food? Good grief. I know you read the above somewhere or saw it on TV (usually by people trying to sell you something), but that doesn't make it true. It doesn't stand up to…
  • Girl scout thin mints! By they don't start selling them in my area until next Friday and who knows what I'll be craving by then.
  • If you're expecting to step on the scale one day and see a certain number, followed instantly by Mr. Right walking into your bathroom and sweeping you away to a fairy tale existence, then yeah, you're going to be disappointed. Losing weight isn't like rubbing a genie bottle. But as someone else said, being smaller will…
  • Preach, girl! I couldn't have said it any better myself. This is why I regained after 20 years of maintaining, and this is why I haven't lost much over the past year. I'm not an emotional eater, I don't have hormone problems, or babies, or a spouse that buys junk food, or really any excuse at all. The bottom line is that…
  • Definitely do it now while you're young! It only gets harder as time go on, believe me. Good luck in your journey.
  • I read somewhere that something like 90% of people will gain back the weight they lost within 5 years. There are lots of factors in the "why" (obviously they consume too many calories for their lower weight and much of that is pleasure-seeking whether it be emotional or just because high-calorie food is awesome) but let's…
  • I got a swat on the butt occasionally as a kid (under age 10 or so; after that punishment was grounding or extra chores). There were no belts or wooden spoons and it wasn't a formal "lay across my lap and hold still for your spanking" kind of thing...just a whack if I caught doing something I knew I wasn't supposed to. I…
  • I know the writers have to keep coming up with ways for there to be zombie attacks because viewers complain otherwise, but do they have to be SO stupid? Beth: Hey, there's a dead person on the ground. Let me step over it because it's not like the dead are coming back to life. Sasha, Maggie and Bob: Let's let the walkers…
  • Here's a little video of how they make them (please note the deep-frying :laugh:): http://www.jognhog.com/videos/what-is-a-pepperoni-ball/ OP, sometimes you have to do a little critical thinking and not just blindly accept what someone tells you in terms of calories. There's no way on earth that those are 95 calories…
  • According to TWD wiki, Lizzie is 12 or 13. And Beth has turned 18, so we might see her in a romantic story line soon...Darryl, maybe? Too creepy? Not as squicky as when they had Beth and Carl making eyes at each other (>shudder<).
  • You'd know if he was a feeder. That's a paraphilia (fetish) in which a person gets sexual gratification or stimulation from seeing another person gain weight. It's not about how fat they ultimately are - it's the process of getting fatter that's the fetish. Once the weight gain stops, so does the interest of the feeder.…
  • Unfortunately, different brands vary wildly on how they're cut. With 39 inch hips I'd say you're a size 8 to 10 US, and assuming you have a defined waist (at least 10" smaller than your hips) and proportionate thighs, you should be able to fit into most brands. If you have a not-so-defined waist like myself (mine's only 8"…
  • Steaks and BJs are the same at my house - they're both rare. :laugh:
