Absolutely. Some fruits and vegetables have a surprising amount of calories, but it's good to make sure that the nutrients are also recorded and totaled.

Thank you for posting this. Most people don't understand statistical analysis and how one can separate out one variable without letting other confounding variables affect the results. I'm adding statistics to my list of courses that everyone in this country ought to have taken--along with four full years of economics in…

Pulp Fiction.

Nicely said. I've never had anything happen to me or anybody else I know. As I explained in another forum, I grew up in a gun culture, have hunting rifles, but would never dream of carrying a gun in public. I've lived in seven states, including New Orleans and southern California, and again, never had anything happen. I'm…

And as I said, it's never happened to ANYONE I know. I've lived in seven states, have been active in all of them, and have never had a gun pulled on me nor has anybody try to abduct me.

One of my friends was trying to convince me that maybe I ought to be prepared in case there was a shootout at…

Get back up, stop the binge, and start over. Maybe in the future, make sure that you have healthy food prepared and ready to go so you don't reach for the binge…

Absolutely it's possible. I had difficulty during the month of February and it seemed that I wasn't losing weight on the scale. However, I could feel my clothes getting looser and looser. All of a sudden, I've experienced a "whoosh," and the weight is melting off.

I've had two knee replacements. The first, four years ago, went perfectly. I, too, had lost extension, 13 degrees, and the surgeon didn't guarantee that I'd be able to straighten my knee again. Furthermore, she said it would be worse if I waited. Did it, did the PT faithfully, and am very satisfied. The second, done just…
