The mispronunciation of the word nuclear, it drives me insane when people say "nucular.." The moist thing amazes me. I thought it was hilarious on the show Dead Like Me when the mom had a meltdown every time she heard the word.

I have 2-3 diet sodas every single day, living on the edge, it's just how I roll.

I find it odd that it's fine to be rude and ask things of people that are really none of anyone's business but then if the person LIES in answer to the aforementioned rude question, they are basically Hitler. Weird. Based on the OP, the sister isn't exactly lying, she did eat low carb after her surgery. Is she required to…

I think the real issue is how incredibly rude people can be in asking personal and invasive questions and having the audacity to think they are owed an "honest" answer. What she is doing isn't "lying," it's choosing not to be rude to obnoxious and nosy people by providing a partial truth that she is comfortable with. Her…

I hate them, always have, always will. Nothing makes them taste better. Yes, I have the attitude of a 5-year-old. I have to hide them from myself in casseroles and soups.

There is nothing to be confused about. Input your info into MFP and it gives you the calories you should eat. You log every bite you eat, you stop eating when you reach your calorie limit for the day. Throw in some exercise/strength training. Voila, weight loss. It doesn't matter what you eat or when you eat. There is no…

Since it is acceptable to call people out on "stupid things," cold weather DOES NOT cause the common cold. It is a virus, period and has zero to do with being exposed to cold.

2 pounds. I am telling myself it's water.

This is an Offspring song - Self Esteem.

Just read the OPs profile and now understand where this post comes from. Zealotry. To say oil on a salad is "junk food" is completely ridiculous. I don't find it necessary to back that up with any kind of argument because, well, duh! I guess my question to the OP is, why do you care what anyone else thinks "junk food" is?…

It doesn't matter when you eat, just stay within your calories. The whole thing about not eating after 7 p.m. is pure BS.

I am a sugar junkie. I don't have any scientific data to spew, however, when I started my diet in May I simply stopped eating super sugary deserts/junk food/candy, etc. Prior to that I was eating massive amounts of cookies, candy, donuts, anything with SUGAR. After about a week of "withdrawals" like horrible headaches, the…

To give a simple reply, yes, I have been losing weight eating white rice and potatoes 4-6 times a week. I hate fad diets and fully believe in just counting my calories. If I read the OP correctly, she wasn't advocating this Dr. McDougall's diet, just wondering about "starches" in general. If that is not what the OP meant,…

I know that feeling well. Four years ago I started a diet and lost 65 pounds. Then my family and I went to Disneyland for 4 days. During that time I decided I would have anything I wanted and I did. Then we got home and I continued having everything and anything I wanted. I kept telling myself it was fine, I didn't care if…

Nuts, you get a lot of calories and protein for a relatively small serving size. I couldn't live without my daily pistachios. Peanut butter on apples is another go to.

Like others said, making bread is very easy, I do it all by hand (my KitchenAid broke:angry:). The only real key part is knowing when you have kneaded enough. The window pane test works great to determine when you are there (google it).

organ meats and anything that swims.

The Christmas Shoes - I am sorry but I don't want to hear a song about a kid buying shoes for his dead mother at Christmas. I also hate My Favorite Things so very, very much.

I have been using Palmers Skin Therapy Oil. It is about half the price of Bio-oil (mine was $8) and it actually seems to be working a bit on stretch marks and leaves my skin silky smooth.

Definitely finishing college for me too. Though the fact is as long as your still breathing, you don't have to "do it over" just do it now.

This. I don't think asking a bunch of strangers on the internet is really going to provide you with a solution to your "health problems," especially in reference to a radically restrictive diet.

In another thread she mentions that the hubs DID NOT love this cake.

The flavor is fine, the texture not so much.

I kinda think you need a second opinion. I am a very, very picky eater and I have tried Atkins several times, in the end it just did not work and I gained more than I lost. I now just eat what I like and count calories and have never been more successful. I am not trying to tell you what to do, but there are options and…

I eat carbs all day and am losing weight just fine. I don't really get the whole low carb thing, but to each his own. p.s. - when did trainers become qualified to dish out nutrition advice?

No one in their right mind would want to steal my identify. However, I have never used this as a security question.

1. Titanic. I can't think of any other movie even as close to as bad as that was.

I have been on it 3 or 4 times over the past 15 years or so. It always works like a charm the first 4 to 6 weeks until I go into a feeding frenzy on carbs. I then gained back everything I lost and then some almost overnight. I am sure some people can do it long term but I need variety in my food choices and I like fruit…

I set it to lose 1 pound a week and am at 1410 calories right now. I have lost weight every single week ranging from 0.4 pounds to 2 pounds over the last 5 months. Of course the calorie calculation is based on height and weight, I am 5 ' 6" and current weight is 193. I confess that I pretty much don't exercise at all and I…
