Please explain to me how the FDA, which is a government agency wholly funded by the Federal Government, gets rich when people get sick? It's not like the FDA gets a cut of the profits from Pharmaceutical manufacturers. In fact, there are laws which specifically prohibit that!

Wow!! You are SMOKIN'!!! What an inspiration! Amazing job, and congratulations! You should be VERY proud of yourself!

Two days ago, I bought 4 Angus Ribeye steaks that were on sale for $6.97/lb. I routinely buy lean Sirloin steaks at Costco for $4.99/lb. I have no idea where to even find steak that is $27/lb except at Ruth's Chris Steak House.....

He didn't wash hers... He washed his own! Hers just got in the way.... :-) lol

I was married for 14 years, and we had a joint checking account the entire time. She was a SAHM, so I made most of the money. She did make some money on the side from various odd jobs (babysitting, selling Mary Kay, etc.). I thought this worked wonderfully, but found out later that she had been "embezzling" to the tune of…

I can TOTALLY see the difference! Keep up the great work, because you are making progress! Good job, and be proud of what you have already accomplished....

You do realize that 19 drinks is more than an entire fifth of vodka, right? Are you SURE you are drinking that much? I am a grisled veteran at drinking, currently weigh over 300 lbs, and if I tried to drink that much (even in my HAYDAY), I would be in a whole lot of trouble......

That is text book behavior for a controlling abusive person. That is the exact thing that most child rapists and pedophiles do. "But I am doing this for you".

Sounds like you might be getting low blood sugar? In which case some carbs would be helpful....

You are exactly correct. I don't know if it is still true, but a few years ago, a study revealed that the ONLY car that was entirely built in the US was the Honda Accord. I live in Indiana, and Toyota and Honda both have huge operations here and have added thousands of jobs over the last few years.

Funny! It was pretty good..... Now you need to find one that is a couple of dudes singing about all the crazy psycho chicks out there.... :-)

Weighing food isn't being anal. It is the ONLY way that you know exactly how much food you are eating. For solid foods, the density can be drastically different, so measuring it by volume can be highly inaccurate. Example, a cup of popcorn vs. a cup of rice. The rice packs in nicely, whereas the popcorn will have who knows…

I have a Toyota RAV4 with the optional 3rd row seating. I absolutely LOVE it!! Have had it for 5 years, and not planning to get anything different anytime soon.

I am in Hamilton County. Fishers. I have been here a little over a month, and am active on the site every day.

I guess if that is the look you are going after..... but most would probably say that anorexics, super models, and Ethiopians don't really look very healthy or attractive. I would much prefer a more healthy look.

So..... rather than typing "Is anyone noticing there are tons of diaries filled with fast food. Is there anyone who wants to eat healthier", which is 1) judging other's diaries, and 2) implies that there are tons of people that aren't eating healthy.... You could have said something like "Hi, I have made a personal choice…

You have made the first positive step by being here. Welcome to MFP. This is a great site and if you use it, it will help you. The first thing to realize is that you need to make a permanent lifestyle change, a way of eating and exercising that will last for the rest of your life. Diets don't work, because they end.…

Been on here for about a month, and am still going strong! Love this place! MFP is such a supportive and encouraging environment, some really great people on here. I log in every day and track my food/exercise religiously. Feel free to add me if you want.

Definitely a big difference! Great job!

As others have said, invest in a food scale. The single best piece of advice that I got when I first joined a month ago, and it has been awesome. You would be amazed how easy it is to be WAY OFF when you estimate, both high and low. Sometimes, I was eating 3 portions or less than half a portion when I thought I was eating…

Weekly. On Wednesday mornings.

I just started about a month ago, and for me, the place that I started was to just log every single thing that went into my mouth, including quantities. I weigh or measure everything! You would be surprised at the portion size of a lot of things, and I came to realize that often, I was eating 2 or 3 portions, when I…

As someone said, continue your healthy diet/exercise. How long have you been on the drug? Usually, the weight gain subsides once your body has adjusted to being on the medication. I would also recommend that you call the Lilly Answers Center (Cymbalta is made by Eli Lilly and Company), which is a help desk for patient…

Rekki, Your best friend is right. You are not eating enough. Are you logging all of your food intake? Because if so, there were a couple days that were only around 500 calories. That is nowhere near enough to keep your body functioning, even if you only sleep. Try not to think of this as dieting. You are wanting to make…

Hi Kayleigh, I can't really address your first four questions, but I can answer your question about having chocolate after your workout. You probably aren't doing any harm by having some chocolate, as long as it fits into your calorie limit. You are actually supposed to eat something right after a workout, ideally within…

If you are a D1 athlete, do you have access to a nutritionist? Most college athletic departments have nutritionists on staff that work with the strength/conditioning coaches to help their athletes. They help to make sure your diet is appropriate and that your weight is where it should be, since you are most likely burning…

For me, I don't know the end date because I don't know the day that I will die. I don't look at this as a weight loss "event" with an end date, but rather, a significant change in my lifestyle that will last forever.
