I confess that I am reading this thread at work instead of doing actual important work. Sue me. . . I am going to do this until I go on holiday next week if I can get away with it because I am sick of everybody and everything.

Salt and vinegar. TV or books?

Count me in - I put on about 10 kilos of the 25 i lost so I have to get back on track.

Ive had a lot of stuff taken in. When I was larger I tended to buy good quality brands that came in my size rather than the shapeless sacks a lot of plus size stores were selling - but with that came with a big price tag so I am not ready to give them away. I was lucky enough to find a dressmaker that will take in any…

The $281 could be for their collection fees.

DO NOT ignore this! Bill collection can ruin your credit - even over 10 dollars, much less 306 dollars. Call your dentists office again, or go to them in person.

I know it's terrible but it's a bit funny too.

Funny.

A good personality would get you further. Also not calling women chicks. Just being honest.

Have you been tested for diabetes recently?

That's beyond silly. I understand in the short term reducing socialising but the OP can't shut off their entire social life over diet.

Im at 55 or something - longest I've ever stuck to healthy living plan so I think I win :) Edit: I lie. It's 46. Still the longest I have ever stuck with anything :)

This reminds me when I was in hospital for Crohn's Disease. The resident helping the surgeon told me he had never seen an overweight crohn's patient before (not the exact words, but that is what he meant). I just had to laugh!

haha I was so confused about what was going on exactly with that photo. I'm not sure why I didn't think it was a guy initially - old age I guess.

Tea = Dinner not the drink

It's quite normal to have difficulty with the mask during the first few weeks. Speak to your doctor about getting refitted to a different mask if it is still not comfortable after a week or two. You will not become reliant on the machine. They sometimes use nasal prongs instead of a full mask. Non-CPAP options include…

I felt like crying this morning. Im in the third month and after weeks and weeks of success nothing is happening. But then I read this and laughed! :)

ha - i did not eat 10,000 calories. But it is not the first time where I have had a large meal and then spent all week trying to go back to the weight I was before a meal. But I probably had 3,000 ish? I had smoked salmon, lots of salad (which was mainly garden salad, a broccoli salad that had a mayonnaise dressing, but no…

If you are short, generally inactive and female then 1200 really isn't that extreme.

I didn't freak out. I just went back to eating normally and exercise the next day but it does stress me out. I weigh daily because normally I find it keeps me in line, but I would hate to have wasted the whole last week losing those 2-3 pounds.

I have no problem with sticking to 1200 calories during the weekdays. I eat whole eggs for breakfast with either low-calorie cheese or vegetarian sausage, for lunch I eat low-calorie grilled vegetables with either pasta or couscous or quinoa, and for dinner I have smoked chicken, potato salad (with low-fat mayo dressing)…

It's completely possible. If you are taking in the protein shakes you might be going under ketosis. Ketosis causes ketones to be secreted in your urine and breath - it often smells sweet. You will often experience it if you are having ~50 grams of carbs per day or less.…

If you have never experienced even a little bit of the feelings he is describing then you are just lying to yourselves. I'm not disagreeing with people who are telling him to get passed those feelings, but show some compassion. And before you tell him his feelings are not valid because of your one leg/dead parent/empty…

This makes me so mad, the more I think about it. I would personally consider making a formal complaint against him to the medical board. This comment was grossly inappropriate. Worse still, unless someone speaks up he will never have a "history" of making such comments, and you can bet if he makes them to you he is making…

No ****. Especially since going on prednisolone can give you a "moon face" due to water retention.

I approve of this thread. That is all.

Can I just point out to all the guys that no-one will think you're gay (if you are straight) if you say yes to the guy above you. Gosh. And probably not.
