How about a Fro-yo place? They have low-fat and NSA options, and you can add healthier toppings (fruit) so it doesn't feel like you aren't indulging.

You totes need to Pretty Woman that place up when you get to your UGW. Congrats on your success so far.

I think the premise behind Paleo is wack, but honestly, if it gets people eating better and eating more whole foods, and less processed foods and "junk," then I can't hate on it. But I can hate on people who think it is the end-all be-all for healthy eating/weight loss. Personally, I would never do paleo because I just…

Seriously, I read some of these comments and think... these people have problems. And I love when fat people say that a size 10 is fat... when they probably have never been that size in adulthood. SMH

BMI is a flawed formula. Look at yourself in the mirror. People *know* when they are overweight. Can you run a mile? Are you healthy? I remember when we did body fat percentages in my health class, some of the skinniest girls in there had the highest percentages of fat. They were out of shape, couldn't run, couldn't do a…

I don't see where the argument is invalid. Human bodies are not cookie cutter. We aren't all shaped the same, made the same, etc. Good for you for have given birth to 2 kids and being a 2-4 (but I guess you aren't now? Couldn't follow your post really). That's not for everyone. When I got pregnant, my feet grew. My hands…

Actually, Kuwait is the fattest country in the world. The US is the fattest in comparison to all developed countries. Kuwait and Pacific Islander countries are actually the fattest. But... what does it matter?

First of all, since there are no standard sizes, a size 10 in one store can be a size 6 or 8 or 12 in another. Impossible to tell. I can tell you, a size 10 at 5'0 is not close to obese. It falls into normal range to overweight. It would depend on frame, and, again, where you bought the clothes. Also, a 5'0 person is…

Wowza. I can only shake my head and laugh at this. Good luck with that.

Exactly. It's not about the size in your pants. I've given birth to two little boys and I don't think my hips will ever be smaller than a size 4 or 6. My breasts are too large for small shirts. It doesn't matter how much weight I lose, I'm still not going to be a size 0 or extra small. But I can still feel great, look…

I hope your wife doesn't know that. FTR, when I was in a size 10 pants at certain stores, I was in a 6 or an 8 in other stores. And weightwise, when I lost 5 lbs, I was in a 4 or six in jeans. I'm 5'1. So I hope your wife doesn't put on 5-10 lbs because then you would think she's too big.

Why, yes... I've been outside of the country several times. Thanks for asking. And really, who's squabbling about dying at 78.9 years or 80.1??? Those few months aren't a big deal to me when I'm 80. I'm not saying that the vast majority of Americans are healthy or couldn't stand to get off the couch and stop eating pizza…

I love all these comments about how the average in America is fat and Americans are obese, and blah blah blah. We are not the only fat country in the world. Big hairy deal any way. We still live a long, happy life. You can be skinny and healthy and still get hit by a bus. ( and yes, I realize I'm on a weight loss forum…

I seriously wouldn't worry about a difference of 40 or so calories. That's verging on ED territory.

I hate the idea that eating "clean" is so complicated. I had someone tell me the other day that the food we buy at the farmers' market isn't "real" food unless it is certified organic. o_O Way to make it even more difficult for the average Jane to eat "good". Bottomline, you shouldn't be eating fast food and processed food…

My favortie salad at the moment is mixed greens, onions, cukes, almonds, mandarin oranges and sesame ginger dressing. Add chicken for protein.
