What's the point? Why 18 pounds? Why by that date? You can't lose that much by the end of the month without several pounds being water weight (unless you cut off a foot or something). The weight would come back one you started eating and drinking again.

They're probably thinking about how some say yo-yo dieting can damage metabolism. Assuming that's even true, what you're doing isn't the typical "yo-yo dieting". You are working to cut fat and build muscle in a controlled manner. When people yo-yo diet they can often lose muscle along with fat, and then end up gaining more…

Have you tried Goody Spin Pins for buns?

"Thanks for stating the obvious."

You weren't lying: you were using the best information you had available.

You don't need to burn all those calories through exercise! You're burning calories all the time by breathing, digesting, working, doing chores, etc. As @callsitlikeiseeit said, just eat the number of calories MFP gives you. Try calculating your BMR (google BMR calculator) to get an idea of how many calories you burn just…

My smoothies taste good. Am I doing it wrong?

No, no, no. There's no way OP could have gained any significant amout of muscle eating at a deficit and exercising for only a couple weeks. Water retention is a possibility, though.

Yes, of course you should be specific. Precise language is crucial to effective communication.

Pores have only one position: open.

You can add me, Dude. I don't care if you weigh half a ton.

I signed up for PIIT28. Two days in, and I am sore as hell. Can't wait for the rest day.

Is that your own personal referral link?

I miss having health fairs at work: all the granola bars, juice, and free pens you could want!

Losing weight is freaking hard, man. It's hard to change your habits for good.

Does it really matter? Just don't.

Our tap water is fine, so I drink that.

Stop talking to these people about it. If it comes up again, just say "Yeah, maybe you're right," and then do whatever you want, anyway.

Yes, definitely. My brother and sister were always pickier than I was, and they would get full more easily. Some of this is "nature" and some is "nurture". Since I was less picky, my parents praised me for finishing my food and taking seconds. This may have led me to eat more, and now it's pretty hard for me to feel full…

Focus on trends over time.

FWIW you're paying more attention to your diet than a lot of people do.

Because I wear yoga pants sometimes.
