I love guys who talk nerdy to me. Makes me feeble in the patellas.

I work part time in a grocery store and one of the baggers is constantly going on about organic foods and aspartame causing cancer and whatever random article he read that said such and such food will cause you to grow extra toes. Not only is bad for business it's also incredibly annoying. When he starts throwing…

I drink diet coke with my meals.

As I am laying there after just hitting the snooze button I tell myself how much I will regret not just getting up and doing it. I know that later in the day I will hate that I failed myself, so I don't. I get up and I get it done.

It sounds like they are just trying to find common ground in conversation. They have noticed your weight loss and instead of saying, "Gee you used to be fat," they are letting you know that they feel comfortable talking to you about diet/exercise etc because it is something you are familiar with.

Nope. Not a chance. Gym time is me time.

One year when my cousin and I were 10 we went downstairs after the gifts were wrapped and placed and very carefully peeled the tape to see what everyone got for Christmas. Except we were 10 and not sneaky at all. We were totally busted and had to turn over half our gifts until we worked off our punishments. Lesson learned.…

I live with three boys. I gave up and lift the seat when I am done. My peeves are water on the floor and being told never mind. If you get water on the floor, wipe that ish up! I cannot tell you how many times my boys have busted their bottoms because they are too lazy to wipe it up and too energetic to just walk. When…

Nope. I never have. I like to keep all the festiveness indoors. It's usually too cold to mess with by the time I start decorating.

I like to keep beef jerky or pork rinds on hand to snack on. I usually have some kind of crackers, tuna and a can of soup in my drawer as a last resort for lunch, too.

That's almost genius. If I come up there are you going to do it, too?

Probably much more relaxing. I wish I lived in a warmer climate. I just have to get my thrills where I can.

It's going to be at 11 a.m. this year so I'm not sure how well that will work, but I will definitely keep that in mind. If it were earlier in the morning I could just stay drunk, but I'm getting kind of old for that.

Absolutely. I have found some really great things at thrift stores. There are a lot of times that I find clothes that still have the original tags on them.

I love sleeping too, but I like being in shape even more so I started going to bed a little earlier and getting up early enough to hit the gym and get to work by 8 in the morning.

I have never been raped but I still wonder why anyone would spend their time questioning the verity of someone's account of being raped or assaulted in any manner that has nothing to do with them.

Okay. When I am to see a specialist I am either referred by my doctor or will look one up online or in the phone book. The first things I look for are convenience and then, if they have them readily available, reviews and references. If you are picking a nutritionist (or any other professional) based on appearance and not…

I'm pretty healthy and fit and would be a terrible nutritionist. Just because you look the part doesn't always mean you are the best person for the job and vice versa.

I don't understand all of this "clean eating." I wash my hands before I eat, does that count? I think some people way over-think food.

If it were me and I insisted on finishing the blasted thing, I wouldn't not do the days I skip. Having the program take more than the 90 days is less important than doing the prescribed exercises. With that being said....it doesn't sound like it is the program for you...or many people I know. I hope you can find something…

Are you weighing in every day? There will be daily fluctuations that can be frustrating alone, let alone when comparing them to someone else's daily weigh in. The only thing you can really do is just keep focusing on what you are doing and continue to make good choices.

The only way I can seem to avoid snacking is to eat bigger meals that keep me full in between. Maybe the snacking isn't the problem, but the size of the snack. When I plan my day ahead, I plan the snacks too to make sure I don't overdo it.

I would probably not go to a nutritionist at all unless I had special dietary needs. Having special dietary needs and eating too much are two different things.

You just have to really want it. You have to want to be healthier, to be more fit and to weigh less more than you want to make excuses. That really is all there is to it. Once you decide you want it you will get more serious about it, stop making excuses and start making changes. They don't even have to be huge changes,…

No gloves. I see very few people using gloves in the gym. It's a personal preference thing.

Don't give up before you get started. Utilize the app for a few months and see what kind of progress you make then. I'm sure you will be happily surprised. Even though you have been eating "clean" that doesn't mean you have been eating at a calorie deficit which is really what you need to do to lose weight. Kudos to you…

I have heard similar things and at first I let it get to me, but mostly because my weight and my body are none of their business. Now I just ignore them.

I try to stay within 5 mph of the speed limit, but my speedometer may also be a little off. On the highway or interstate, though I keep up with traffic. It drives me nuts when someone is driving slower in the fast lane or when two cars pace each other on a two lane road for extended periods of time. I try to be courteous…

So you are more willing to believe that you have developed a 7 lb tumor that you apparently haven't located yet than you are willing to believe that it is water weight, too high sodium, hormonal gains, or inaccurate logging that several people have pointed out because these are the most common reasons for weight gain.…

This. I go to the gym to save others from my wrath.
