I understand your point and where you're coming from but I'm not really as worried about people using medications as an excuse for gaining weight. I'm actually more worried about people going off of very useful medications or avoiding certain medications because of weight gain that's been misattributed to a medication, but…

I hear you. One of my protein powders came from Costco and while it's made by MusclePharm, who got in big trouble after protein spiking one of their products, and doesn't seem to be well-tested, I've decided to just finish it anyway. I'm still on the fence as to whether I want to just get cheap protein supplements from…

Definitely true. Getting back into lifting heavy weights again+ using Ibuprofen for DOMS = 6 extra pounds of water weight I've avoided the scale this week because it just doesn't make sense to see the high numbers. Water retention is so weird. Did you know that sleep deprivation also causes you to hold on to less water? I…

If you're using it to try and offset a bad diet, possibly. Also I found this with a quick google search: https://www-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov/pubmed/20142823 Didn't read it so I don't know how well confounding factors were accounted for, but it's interesting. I would look into it further but the overwhelming data suggests that…

Also from that article: "Although the association of cancer and meat intake may be partially explained by high-energy or high-fat (“westernized”) diets, of greater interest is a possible direct role of potentially carcinogenic compounds that are found in meats, including N-nitroso compounds, heterocyclic amines, or…

Yeah.... see, I'm bored at my internship and procrastinating on a project. I don't think I'll be watching it at home but thanks anyway. I agree that Ivy does not equal intelligence. I know some really stupid people in my program. But teaching at an Ivy is different. Especially when it's one of the top schools in receiving…

Increased risk. But thanks for trying. I appreciate your attempt to summarize for me. "I don't believe you because I don't want to" - Guy on the internet You know it's true when random guys on the internet say things.

Can't watch youtube at work. But I'm assuming you didn't really have anything interesting to say and were just mocking me. As I said, I'm not touting. I did say that it makes me sound like a jacka$$ to talk about it. But I was using my professor as the source, not me. I haven't done any research on meat consumption and…

You know, I don't think she really went about it in the right way, but the girl talking about how vegetarian diets are healthier is in fact correct. I'm a public health student at an Ivy League university and was taught this information. I sound like a total a$$hat for saying that but I feel like I need some credibility. I…

I'm partial to torch singers. "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" Eartha Kitt "At Last" Etta James "Stormy Weather" Lena Horne "Come Rain or Come Shine" Marlene Dietrich

Interestingly enough, I've never had my weight openly commented on except for by one mean kid when I was 12 and one *kitten* ex. I've never been that heavy, but my weight has rarely been commented on by strangers. My SO on the other hand used to be given a lot of cr*p for being skinny. Women would pinch his arms or stomach…

+1,000 LOLOLOLOL!

I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with the "BBW and BBW admirer" community. I'm pro-fetish. If you want to be a feedee and have someone force feed you so you gain weight for their pleasure, go at it. If it provides you an outlet to get laid and you like that, that's cool. Consenting adults can do whatever they…

Um...you're aware of the term "BBC" too, right? Being fetishized is soooooo flattering! The term BBW is based on the singling out heavy female bodies in the same way that BBC singles out black male bodies. Despite the fact that people seek out those who fit those terms, they are both offensive in my opinion.

False. Women aren't awful. Our patriarchical society places women in a position where they are forced to rely on their appearance as their main source of power and self-esteem. Society creates the game in which women "compete". Also, I know many, many women who regardless of body size manage not to tear other women down.…

I don't know what that girl's butt has to do with smashing phones. Maybe she can smash a phone with her butt! I once saw a woman on television crush beer cans with her boobs once.

Both

Yeasayer. Amazing music recorded. The show was awful. The band didn't sound great and they then proceeded to play the entirety of an album they hadn't released but was coming up soon. I've seen a couple bands I'd never heard before seeing them and loved it, but this time it didn't work out. And there's a certain amazing…

My go to is Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" Also: Anthony and the Johnsons "Hope There's Someone" Arcade Fire "My Body is a Cage" Ben Folds "Brick" Sia "Breathe Me"

That could be true. No clue. But she didnt quote anyone and when you do that you're generally talking to the OP. But I still don't get why you were defensive about it. Sorry not to have been paying enough attention to an Mfp thread.

I honestly didn't have the time to read through the complete thread to see all the things people have been saying to the OP. If you didn't say anything mean, why were you so defensive?

Nope. Pretty certain the person has hundreds of posts to their name and I've seen them on the boards since I started on MFP.

Congrats. Your sense of fun is tormenting a teenage girl. If you're too old to have had that experience, you're probably too old to be doing that too.

WOW. You do know this is a teenage girl you're speaking to, right? Being an insecure teenager and BS-ing your age in order to use a calorie counting site hardly makes someone a liar. I'm sure there are plenty of "liars" on here who clicked that they were 18 when they looked at certain sites growing up. :wink: But…

These are traits of people with BPD, which is often co-morbid with PTSD. I'm not one to diagnose someone and I really don't have the information for it, but given that I have BPD, I know that those issues are really difficult to get over and definitely require therapy. There is deep-seated insecurity and fear there.…

36F and they don't really change based on my weight. I've been in almost a 40 lb weight range and they stay the same. It depends on how much of your breasts are breast tissue and how much are fat. If you want a reduction, get a reduction. My mom had a reduction and she's pretty happy with it. If my breasts get any larger…

Hmm. I was never told that MFP was supposed to be encouraging about having poor taste in alcoholic drinks, but ok then! You really shouldn't weigh yourself the day after you drink. It's a recipe for disaster. You probably shouldn't be weighing yourself daily anyway. I personally prefer never to weigh myself except for rare…

If you're going to drink, you should just save room for the calories and drink things that taste good. Light beer is an abomination as is drinking wine with club soda. If you're drinking just to get drunk, I recommend shots. Otherwise, class it up a little.

I'm in grad school so I have access to a lot of the online libraries and journals that the papers are in, but most I would have to send to someone in PDF form. I don't have time to read through the article as I'm being bad as it is trying to multitask with this and finish something at work. But the fact that it was…
