Me too. I am disappoint.

Thank you! Put into this context, the information is much more useful and less discouraging. "This is a weight loss 'truth.' I decided to test it, and found out that it isn't always true." On one level or another, most of us already know that, but now he's set down a scientific placemat. I'm ok with that. :)

Lest I sounded flippant with my Tubes of Turkey comment, I should note that I have also tried the stuff. It was on sale and I thought, How bad can it be? Oh. Bad. It can be bad. Everything about it was bad (to me). It took me years to get over the trauma to be willing to even try a high quality ground turkey. The mere…

That was a frustrating "article" in general. "The authors cite studies that..." Who are the authors? What are the studies? Why am I getting health advice from weather.com?

"Tubes of Turkey" may be a decent name for a band, but it is not appetizing as a food source. It definitely pays to be diligent and do your own research. :)

I'm pretty sure it's not a litter issue because most of the time he'll use it, and he never poops on the floor. He was born in a barn, literally, so we think he's just bad mannered :) Next step is kitty prozac, but I'm not quite ready for that yet.

We have a rescue cat who bites into and tears off bits of cardboard boxes. She'll sit in them and do this around all four sides until eventually there's nothing left but the base and a litter of cardboard bits all over the place. She clearly has many inner frustrations. We bought the Feliway cat pheromone plug-ins and it…

Thanks for sharing! There were definitely a few points I needed a fresh perspective on. :)

Congratulations on freeing yourself from depression! Once you get away from that monster, everything else will seem almost easy :) Just wanted to say that :) You're free to look at my diary, but I don't think I really fit what you're looking for food-wise.

Nope, I don't change anything, and I am occasionally a world-class sleeper-inner. I went to bed at 8 PM Saturday night and woke up at 11 AM Sunday morning and ate all my calories for both days, and per my BodyMedia, I was just fine in doing so.

Fabulous! (but ain't no way I'm giving up on my snooze button) Thank you so much for putting this up for us :)

They are entertaining entertainers.

I don't really need to relax or unwind. If I do, I guess I just read or watch TV or something... sometimes while on the treadmill. I had enough 'letting loose' when I was younger, lol. I thought about buying some beer to enjoy tonight, but meh. There are other things to spend my money on.

Another ++ for BodyMedia products (I have the Core). They have a tested accuracy of over 90%; as far as I'm aware, no other tracker publishes its accuracy.

Not quite the same, but when my girl was much smaller and couldn't find something, she would stand in the middle of the room with her arms out and turn to the left and right, saying, "Where? WHERE is it?" very dramatic-like. So when we can't find something we feel we should be able to find, like the remote, we do the same…

Just because it cracks me up every time: OP: Best of luck!

Congratulations! You are such an adorable little pixie! :D

I would totally friend you but one of use would have to be the fat friend and we gotta get past that! :sad: :laugh:

The only thing that makes me hesitate to say that's the same thing is that it sounds like you're cooking with the fat on, then trimming it off. Somehow that seems like cheating, but I can't really articulate how :laugh:

You can try suggesting to your doctor that you'd like to try to lower it naturally for 6 months, and if that doesn't work, you'll start the meds. If you're just borderline high that shouldn't present too much of a danger--although I would home monitor over that time--and if you can't get it down in that amount of time,…

A word I don't use lightly: AMAZING. Your dedication is so inspiring! Congratulations on your results! Thank you so much for sharing!

I think I may be the same way, maybe... but I think it's actually a problem with measuring myself. If it's not exactly the same place, same tightness, same phase of the moon, whatever, it's going to feel like--at best--nothing is happening, or possibly that I'm even gaining inches, egad! I just recently ordered a MyoTape…

If you're hungry, you should eat. But eat healthfully and lightly-- enough to keep you from not being hungry. Although you can't go for a run, there are many other things you can do to increase your calories burned. Anything that moves your body will burn more than if you just sit there and feel sorry for yourself (which I…

In to read opinions. I trim my beef, weigh it, cook it, don't eat whatever pure fatty bits are left, but I still go by my original weighing. It's all estimates anyway, and I'd rather over estimate than under. ...But that's me, interested to see what others think.

I use a NutriBullet as well. I don't actually want my drink to be any larger than the large cup, but I do sometimes want more IN it than what fits... So I put in some stuff--particularly spinach or large chunks of fruit that take up a lot of space but are not actually all that dense--blend it a bit, and then add more. Just…

Here's another idle thought: Girl A is looking at Girl B -- maybe not noticing her, maybe thinking she really needs to pee, maybe whatever Girl B looks at Girl A EYE CONTACT IS MADE Girl B realizes Girl A was looking first, so she's all thinking What are you looking at? Girl A sees Girl B with this What are you looking at?…

Congratulations on all your hard work paying off!!! Your daughter looks like an absolute doll :)

If at some time in the recent past you were doing "hardcore workouts," you will probably get back into it a lot faster than you expect. Before a year ago, I spent the vast majority of the prior ten years either lying in bed, on the couch, or sitting on my butt. Yes, ten years. Last summer I decided to start walking on a…

I generally want people to like me, or at least not be repulsed by me or think I'm a flaming aeshole, but honestly I really don't care too much what the random person on the street thinks. I barely even pay attention to them, to be honest. I know they're there, I may even look at them, but I really do not actually SEE them…

Beautiful pictures! (Aside from the part where sprained ankles float in front of my eyes, but that's my own problem)
