Nice!

I don't think it's out yet, but the Amiigo bracelet is both a HRM and an activity tracker. It tracks all kinds of things, including your body temperature. I kind of want one! I think the Basis B1 also does both, but I'm not sure (and I don't feel like Googling it at the moment, haha). I have a Fitbit One and I love it, but…

I have no idea what this might mean. But yeah, go for a walk. It's super low impact, so it's not like you'll get sick or something.

Nothing will change your mind, but my mom and my uncle both passed away in the past three months because of diabetes. It's really serious. Both had amputations of toes, my mom had two major strokes (the second one killed her because her brain swelled to the point that part of her brain was pushed down into her head and she…

There are lots of things that come down to personal preference, such as her decision to do a paleo/primal thing. That's cool, and although I wouldn't want to do it myself, I wouldn't bash her for it. But MAN, saying that you can eat at a surplus and still lose weight--that is a pretty egregious error and I can't remain…

Or aliens. Could always be aliens.

What everyone else said. I try to spread my calories out throughout the day because I hate being hungry (I become a raging jerk), but it doesn't actually matter. I sometimes eat all or most of my calories at night and I don't find that it affects weight loss or anything else, for that matter, including sleep quality or…

I've gotten decently good at eyeballing portion sizes, so I can make a guess later when I'm home. You could always take a picture of your food and try to guess that way. And you can make some assumptions based on the description/how it's prepared when you're entering in the food (like fried vs grilled, etc). It won't ever…

I have no information to add but I wanted to say that I was shocked the first time I really walked on sand (I'm from the Midwest and I currently live in the desert, so beach-going isn't one of my normal activities). We parked fairly close to the water--we THOUGHT--and by the time we walked through all the super soft sand…

What I meant was that certain conditions can make weight loss more complicated/difficult, and for them it's a matter of figuring out those other things (like the condition itself, along with medications and their resulting side effects, etc) on top of also figuring out what kind of deficit they need in order to lose weight…

UPDATE: my friend says her skin has magically cleared up after eating a strict paleo diet for a week. 1. It hasn't cleared up. 2. What?
-
There is no logic with her, honestly.

This is still happening? Well...in so I can read about potluck rage later.

The rage-quit is slowly building.

You're one of them! I knew it.

This and geocentrism. :huh:

Found this. Not sure how accurate it is, but it's a start. http://www.caffeineinformer.com/caffeine-content/coffee-beans

Yep, I get this a lot. "Cute shoes!" Also, when talking to a friend about feeling down after clothes shopping, she says "but at least you're really smart. Guys like that, right?" Ummm...I guess? Thanks? What?

Close! It was more like Donny's face back there behind The Dude. Seriously. lol

Noooo. That's terrible! haha

I used to down a bunch of chocolate covered espresso beans before school when I was in high school. I was a good kid--no smoking or drinking--so caffeine was my drug. Haha

THIS. My god, this. This.

I can't tell you how to feel because I'm not in your position, but if you are really feeling bad to the point where the words "want to kill myself" can come out of your mouth, then you should definitely talk to someone who can help. I don't want to be alarmist, but that's serious business. Even if it's over the phone,…

I'm in!

Great job!! Diabetes is serious business, man. My mom passed away from a stroke caused by diabetes in February, and my uncle just passed away today from kidney failure caused by diabetes. Both had serious issues with their feet, as well. Nothing has ever inspired me to get healthy like seeing them go through what they went…

But what counts as juice?

I didn't read through the whole thread, but the first page inspired me to look up a bunch of weird stuff. My favorite thing in the database is now officially "Human - Souls". For your information, one soul is zero calories, so feel free to consume as many as you'd like. ETA: okay, I read the thread. Apparently I'm not the…

This is a fantastic thread. I don't have anything as serious as diabetes, but it runs in my family (my mom had it, my grandmother, my great-grandmother). I have high blood pressure and really high bad cholesterol, and I am going back to the doc this month to see if there's been any improvement. My mom recently passed away…
