... but there's been an outbreak of people attacking people out for a jog?

Same. People here are always getting jumped and killed when they're out running! Oh... wait... no, they aren't...

I used to have friends on Facebook who'd post "updates" like "UNHAPPY :(" If you don't provide details, people will stop asking.

You get what you pay for with most things, including 2 cent opinions. Please, tell us what this "junk" is and how it is "cleaned out" that a healthy body can't do on its own.

If they talk about advocare sales club, they might get a warning from the mods, but if they merely talk it up, they're hoping people will view their profiles, where they DO have the links to their distributorships.

Hard to find clothes to fit in Asia? Really? I'm guessing that patient never heard of tailors - One of the best things we did in Asia was visit the South Bund Fabric Market and get custom jackets and pants made. Decent price (if you negotiate) and decent quality. I couldn't have bought anything that fit that well off the…

This is not me, I don't know this person, and I have nothing to gain by posting this link... but for those of you in foreign lands without access to proper curds or gravy for making poutine, you can order a do-it-yourself kit to make the proper sort of cheese.…

I have a ton of different goals - lose 10 pounds (done), lose 25 (done), buy new pants (done), get work pants taken in because I can't wear them anymore (done once - soon twice), break double digits in metric (ie, hit 99kg) (done), hit the 50% mark on the way to a goal I'm not sure I can hit (Aug 7th, if my spreadsheet…

How many of those people were getting whipped drinks with whipped cream on top and flavoured syrup? I'd use regular sugar in my coffee, but I go with the yellow (Splenda?) packets because it dissolves immediately and I don't need to do more the swirl the coffee a bit. Plus, it also dissolves in iced drinks...

If you're easily discouraged, weigh in weekly. If you're aware that the scale can go up or down for reasons outside of fat loss, then weigh daily if you think you're emotionally ready to see 2-5lb swings up on occasion. I weigh daily, sometimes a couple times, in order to see how certain foods affect my weight.

I mean, if they were delivering some actual surprising information like... raw broccoli is 87% saturated fat or something, and presented actual data on it... Delivering the news that fries, gravy, and cheese are high in fat is like saying "HEY! DID YOU KNOW THE SKY IS BLUE!?"

You know what? You really need to be careful posting on internet forums, because sometimes people will see what you post and call you names if you say silly things! Man, I'm nice to offer advice.

Cheese curds are basically cheese that isn't pressed into a block. Poutine curds are supposed to "squeek" a bit when you bite into them. It's really hard to describe. They're something like mozarella, but... squeeky.

Thank you! I'm here all week. Remember to tip your waitresses, and make sure to try the veal! :D

She was eating chips at the time? Man... that's some opening...

Also, I think that someone who's giving you advice on what to eat is opening the gates to your advice on what to eat... should you be so inclined.

See, I don't handle that sort of thing very well, so my advice would be bad advice... I'd adopt a shocked look, and drop my fork on the table. "POUTINE IS HIGH IN FAT?! OH MY GOD! REALLY? I'M GOING TO BE SICK!" Then I'd stop, pick up my fork and say "I've lost 75 pounds. Could I get you another soda or a bag of chips?"

I'm trying to keep my "in progress" buys as few as possible, and I'm having my work clothes altered a little at a time. Since my suits had two pairs of pants each, I had one altered, and left one... this way I can have some that are wearable and some that I can have taken in to the new size... I took those to a proper…

I was talking with a friend, and he made some comment about how he didn't see me riding a bike. I don't think he meant it as a weight comment, but just a general purpose lifestyle comment; he'd likely even be correct. At the time, however, I read it as a weight comment, and I laughed out loud at him, clapped him on the…

I thought I was alone in the world.

I like to think that the response "Stay out of my life" would be addressed to the poll makers, not the AMA :)

I hate the idea of treating alcohol abuse and food abuse as a disease in and of themselves... Though, if this could potentially lead to helping with discriminatory hiring / firing of people with weight problems or potentially allowing for treating of underlying issues that might be contributing to obesity (outside of mouth…

If you're reducing at 1-2 pounds per week and exercising, your body should take care of this.

Nasty. Artificial watermelon is one of the worst tasting things in the world. Ew. I'd be happiest with regular Oreos that didn't have any of the frosting in them.

Okay, you're not as crippled as you though. I'm not wild about kale either... mostly thinking about some of the macros like potassium that can be found in the dark greens. Parsley is especially good, so if you can stomach tabbouleh would be good (though you'd likely have to make your own if you don't like onions and…

You actually have a pretty decent list of things you like - carby, but with all that fruit on there and some careful attention paid to portions, I think you're fine. I think that you could start with your list and find comparable foods to widen options a bit. I see sour cream and cream cheese on your 'likes' list, so 0%…

I have a friend who pretty much lives on french fries and gummy bears. He doesn't eat anything with meat, and very little that's vegetable. It can be a real thing, and it's not always just a learned trait http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertaster What DO you like? Let's start there.

Was this a cruise ship with a massive buffet? That's the only way I could see being able to consume 35,000 calories over your BMR in the course of three days...

Well, you might have massive indigestion, explosive firey diarrhea, and be unkissable... but ulcers won't be one of those problems. Jus' sayin'.

Another thing that spicy food doesn't do: cause ulcers... http://health.howstuffworks.com/diseases-conditions/digestive/spicy-food-ulcers.htm
