Negative, Ghost Rider.

This. I've only been around a very short time I can definitely see why people start responding with "eat more," "get a food scale," and "track your calories". The questions are so repetitive. Not just to very old threads, but the same questions being asked multiple times a day. Maybe you could just start pointing people to…

You mentioned you're drinking mixed drinks. What are you generally drinking? 3 or 4 margaritas, mud slides, long island ice teas (10 ounces) etc, could easily be an extra 1500-2000 calories per night out. And that's definitely enough to cause weight gain over three months. If, on the other hand, you're drinking rum and…

I believe the running theory is actually that gastritis, a precursor to stomach cancer, is prevalent there due to the salting, pickling, and smoking techniques used pretty frequently in Japan and Korea (where stomach cancer rates are also very high). If it were related to packaged or processed foods, you'd see much higher…

So, there are different kinds of fibre, right? Fibre you can digest (soluble fibre) and fibre you can't digest (insoluble fibre). Soluble fibre slows things down and will help with diarrhea. Insoluble fibre speeds things up and will help with constipation. Soluble fibre is great for making you feel full, helping your body…

We should take bets -- either she doesn't have a food scale and has no idea how much she is eating/ doesn't have any idea how many calories she is really burning in workouts Or she has been at it less than 10 days. Ok, go. Edit: Jeez, ok, or she is pregnant/ has a parasitic twin that's roughly 19 pounds.

I wonder if the cost of food doesn't have something to do with it, too. My friend just got back from a year in japan and he said grocery prices were more expensive, although restaurant prices were on par with the US. He estimated groceries were 30-50% more expensive than he was used to, although that was probably off due…

Shrimp. They're ocean cockroaches. I just can't. Also, oysters, clams, any sort of shellfish, really. I just learned to like fish this year, so maybe shellfish will follow. But shrimp never will. Mango and papaya. They seems so delicious, until you put them in your mouth. Shakes. Milkshakes, healthy shakes, protein shakes,…

I was trying to figure this out, too! Thanks for the help. We really need a 'like' or 'thanks' button

Amen. The drunk munchies will kill your calorie count, as will not really knowing exactly how much or what you're drinking. Going out with friends once a week and having a couple beers is probably fine and manageable. Going out with friends once a week and have 5 sugary mixed drinks and 10 shots and 8 beers and nachos and…

Somebody was talking about it earlier. It was a very small, diabetic study that compared two big meals early in the day (the researches said it confirmed 'breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper') to 6 small meals.

Nuts, pretzels, trail mix, granola, peanut butter crackers - your vending machine probably has something that's an ok-once-in-a-while snack. Is there a coworker who is headed out to lunch who could pick something up for you on their way back?

This is exactly true for me - face then chest/waist then stomach then hips and thighs. Exactly a reverse of how I gained it. And I'm totally going to miss the c cups. We didn't even have eachother we very long;we're just getting acquainted. Its not fair...

Does anyone remember a show from the '90s called Dinosaurs? It was about Dinosaurs, interestingly enough, and they were all puppets that didn't really look genetically related and the baby used to call the father "not-the-mamma". Most of the humour was pretty suggestive, but us kids were allowed to watch it because…

What do her doctors have to say about this? I find my grandparents eat much better when the food is already prepared for them and they aren't eating alone. My first thought would be something sort of nostalgic, like for my grandma it would be chicken and dumplings. Thick, roux-based soup with lots of chicken and veggies…

You know its a bad advertisement when you're left wondering if its even an advertisement. I thought the same thing... are you trying to sell me something, or what? Because its nots working. Or, maybe the guys a genius and its the best advertisement. I didn't even know he was selling a product! He's a sales ninja.

I think these kinds of classes really depend on how hard you're working, like are you treading water, standing in the shallow end, using a noodle floaty thing, etc? When you race, is there down time between the races (like are you taking turns or relaying), or is it go all out continuous for a certain amount of time?

Sweet baby Jesus, I may never eat again.

Eat slowly. Put down you fork between bites, savour the food you've selected to try. Set yourself a limit and stick to it;like you will only go for seconds one time. This will keep you from enjoying fourths and fifths and tens! Take small portions of all the food you want to try, even the things you know will be high in…

Did they suggest milkshakes or did they suggest nutrition shakes? My grandpa had trouble joining weight in his later years and his doctors had him add nutrition snakes to his diet. They seemed to help and he liked that he didn't have to eat more food - lack of appetite was part of his problem.

Here is all I know: Even numbered sizes are women's clothes and odd numbers are juniors clothes. Junior clothing is supposed to be cut less generously through the hip, but that depends on the brand and the style and the material (I find juniors clothing tends to have more spandex in it). The number measurement (27 inches)…

This! I don't think it would've been canceled if fox had aired it properly, in the right order and at the same time consistently. That show was so good.

I didn't believe my brother when he told me that men's sizing wasn't any more accurate than women's. I didn't believe him! I was like its a size 36 because its 36". Looks like he was right. I hate when he is right.

I have emetophobia (fear relates to vomit. For me, its a fear of myself vomiting, but it used to encompass other people too, but I'm much better than I was about others). I haven't thrown up 7 years. I've only thrown up three times since I was eleven. I've never had a stomach virus or food poisoning, so I've been really…

I have this monitor thing called a cintiq. It weighs, like, 75-80 pounds. I'd grab that. It probably counts as 3 things anyway. It feels silly to take something totally replaceable, but I worked hard to get it. Plus, besides my dog, all my other stuff is replaceable too, but way less expensive.

Porcupine meatballs? I have terrifying images in my head right now.

It's a fairly short term, small study that focused on type 2 diabetes. It's interesting, but their diabetes could be factoring in in a way the average person wouldn't. In any case, I think it's best to eat however works for you. Six small meals, one large meal over two or three hours, 12 straight hours of snacking,…

One of my local grocery stores carries it near the peanut butter, while the other keeps it in the kosher food section.

Honestly, I don't know how much it could really factor into it. I do know that I think sleep is messing me up quite a bit, so I wouldn't be surprised if stressing over the time limit and the lack of progress might slow you down a bit. I'm sure there's someone around here who knows something about it.

Well, your profile says otherwise. 125-16=109. Although I did always suck at math, so feel free to double check that.
