My god yes, #2 so much. I'm SO freaking tired of hearing this it's not even funny. I'm close to the point of physical violence when hearing this. Someone I was close to would tell me this everytime I mentioned running and it took a lot of discipline to try and calmly explain to her why this was a stupid thing to say…

How about we quit trying to get some ludicrous body image (like OMG have to be tan like all the celebs!) and be happy with ourselves instead? My brother just died of skin cancer a couple months ago. That was abso-f**kinglutely hell on earth. Get over tans- trying to "look good" at the risk of health is sheer stupidity.…

Does Iced tea have water in it? Yes? Then it totally counts to your water intake. The point of making sure you get enough water is to make sure you're hydrated well. As others have pointed out, just make sure to account for any calories you have from sweetening it.

*crys* I miss our DDR machine so bad. We had one down the the Memorial Student Center where I went to school, but a rennovation later the machine is now gone. We have one in another place in the city but it's bad- kids have beaten the pads so bad the right no longer registers so it's pointless to play and expensive to…

I'm adding my vote in for this as well. I love it!

I had a sibling who was on foodstamps for a while and he was a single person. Just because you had a bad experience with it doesn't mean the OP or anyone else will. Trying to dissuade someone from trying to get on a program that could help them and "getting annoyed" at people who are giving helpful advice like "try for…

Yeah I refuse to buy Papa John's also because the CEO is a giant asshat. His comments on the new healthcare mandate were disgusting, especially in light of his own wealth. Seriously dude, your so rich that you have an underground garage at your mansion and you whine that a nickle and dime per pizza is too expensive for…

You beat me to it, I was coming here to say just that! And I agree, I like the Artists rendition instead of the original. Though the iiiiiiiittty bitty skirt on the regular body kinda weirds me out.

To me this sounds more like you've got a problem with running form, not with shoes. Check your running form- if you're heel striking, you need to fix that and move to a forefoot strike. Land on the balls of your feet and then cushion your "fall" so that your heel comes down lightly to the ground then recoils to push off…

My favorite response to racist *kitten* who insist (in America) that you need to speak only english:

And using Hoax for Area 51 is also inappropriate use of the word. Area 51 is real, it's an American Military base used often for top secret new military developments in aviation. (Such as the U2 and the Oxcart.) People often thought there were UFO's but it was usually the U2 or the Oxcart they were seeing, not aliens.…

I have one that is very effective AND cost effective since it's free. It's called "Your liver and kidneys". If those aren't working, then you need to see a doctor pronto. That will be expensive if those "cleanses" stop working. (Seriously, "cleanses" and "detoxes" are a complete bunch of horse droppings. I REALLY wish this…

Yes. The "- who wear glasses" part is kinda cute more often than not, but it's the "guys" part I have an issue with. Now a girl with glasses... {oh wait, did you want STRAIGHT girls to answer this, or just "girls"? You didn't specify so I answered... )

For "changing it up" I suggest downloading the Zombies, Run! app and having fun. (It's not free but it's inexpensive and well worth it. Not to mention a lot of fun!) Make sure to enable zombie chases. You'll up your speed. ^.~ Edit because I suck at spelling tonight.

See... mold on food I can deal with. Mold on tampons however...- http://consumerist.com/2012/03/28/dont-worry-thats-just-bread-mold-on-your-tampon/ *gag retch* ...I'm glad I switched to menstrual cups.

Actually you can bold text on MFP. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/399087-how-can-i-bold-italicize-or-underline-text-in-the-forum (Wish there was an option to preview post first to make sure I've not borked the code though.)

And Now, The Weather.

I have had good luck with my bubba water bottle. I drop mine constantly, and while the design wore off and theres dents in it a bunch, it's still solid, holds water, and best yet, keeps the termperature solid for hours.

I agree on the banannas and Peanut butter! PB is good 2 hrs before a run and a small fruit (bananna) an hour before a long run. It works well for me, where other things seems to make me queasy while running. These just give me energy and no queasyness.

Same here. I love the ad, but the thing is I have a dark and morbid sense of humor and I, unlike the advertisers, know better than to subject people to my humor to try and sell something since for most people it won't go over well and there'd be a storm of protests over it.

I also recommend the Couch to 5k plan! It worked outstandingly for me. I also saw this on lifehacker and it looked fun, I haven't tried it yet though: http://lifehacker.com/zombies-run-is-currently-on-sale-for-75-off-1221761126

Y woud u drink something toxic to eliminate toxins???! Dihydrogen Monoxide is horrible for you and won't detoxify u! Please think of the chidren before injesting this toxin first thing in the morning! Ok.. that out of my system, now for seriousness: Anytime you see the word "detoxify" your "quack alert!" meter should tick…

Just adding my voice for the "Running makes you gain a bit due to water retention for muscle repair". Overall though, running makes you lose weight, small weight increases from water aside. Just check my ticker for evidence of what Running + Calorie Deficit does. ^.^ (Calorie deficit was the main cause, but running made it…

Pfff haha yeah I know I hate that. The game was obviously made by men otherwise "I am so not telling you. *#$& off and wait four days." would be listed under the reasons for weight gain. That and even after 45 lbs lost and being really close to what I should weigh, my character hasn't slimmed down at all and still looks…

People are smarmy! But I would expect nothing less from people hawking fake and illegal weightloss bull**** anyhow. For those who are interested, here's how to watermark your images (I'm using photoshop CS2). It doesn't always keep people from swiping them but it makes it much much harder, and the harder it is the less…

My two cents: If you like it, make room for it in your calorie counts. A calorie deficit is SOLELY responsible for weight loss. (Health and fitness is different) so if you've accounted for the alcohol and still have a deficit you'll lose weight. Questionable statements on metabolism by non-health experts ("personal…

Not a very well known one, even among fans of Terry Prachett since many light fans don't realize there's movies, but my vote goes for Hogfather! Love it, and it has one of the quotes that is my favorite quote of all (Warning, it's a long one): Susan: All right. I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make…

As long as it isn't dead animals. Water is much easier on the structural integrity of umbrellas. ALL HAIL THE GLOW CLOUD. (Damn, I'm gonna have that song stuck in my head all night, haha! - http://satellitehigh.tumblr.com/post/58275042245 to share ..."and yes the ****ing bus song is on here" )
