I went to Iran last year and I did not see anyone jogging. But then I was not looking out for joggers because I was riding my bicycle. I think so long as you are wearing the required hijab you will be fine. Leggings with loose knee-length shorts over with a loose long-sleeved top and a couple of Buffs layered on the head…

So true, so true... Also, - You've got giant bags under your eyes due to lack of sleep (the sun didn't set last night, or the night before, or the night before..). - It's raining and you've got an umbrella. - You can't figure out how to pronounce the place names that start with "kn." - You think a 50 lb fish is big!!!

Yup. I ain't no lady, and I don't wanna be either. I just want to be a kind and compassionate human being who treats all other humans as I want to be treated. If you hold the door open for me, great, thanks! If you don't, no biggie. I'll try to do the same for you. But please don't act like my body is public property (by…

I am all for respecting my fellow humans. But a girl is not the property of her parents. She is not a "gift" to be given away to the most chivalrous bidder. Neither is a boy, by the way. Boy or girl or whatever, everyone gets to decide for him/herself whether to "go out" with someone else.

Nope! I practice administrative law... it's about as boring as it sounds. Sadly I can't skip work to go skiing all too often.

Law school made me skinny. I was so depressed that I didn't eat much and spent a lot of time just wandering the city. However, I would never ever want to go back to those days because it was such a terrible period in my life. My advice to a fat law student would be to stop briefing cases, skip class, and quit law review. I…

This is happening to me too. My measurements have barely budged, yet I've gone from 149 lbs to 141 lbs and down one pants size, from US women's 6/8 to 4/6. My friends have noticed that I look slimmer. But I swear to you that my measurements have not changed. I don't know why. I measure in the same place each time - waist,…

I'm 66.5 inches tall and weigh 141 lbs right now. Most of my pants are US size 6, though they are getting loose enough I may have to buy replacement pants in US size 4 (yay!). On top I wear small or medium depending on the brand and style. I have longish arms and torso and a pear shape.

Quacks are very very good at fooling people. So don't think you're stupid if you fall for it sometimes. Proceed with caution and take a skeptical view of anything "Dr." Mercola says. Personal beliefs are not relevant when assessing scientific claims. Science cares not for your (or my) personal beliefs. Yes, fluoride…

No health benefits. Don't bother. Read this: http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-detox-scam-how-to-spot-it-and-how-to-avoid-it/.

It's not a matter of liking or not liking him. "Dr." Mercola is a quack. Period. http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2012/08/03/15-years-of-promoting-quackery/

No biggie. I thought maybe I was missing out on a new and tasty food product.

How many calories does jiggling my loose weight burn?

I know what quinoa is. What is quonia? Is it a new version of quinoa? Or something else altogether?

What is Quonia?

I worry about this too somewhat. I've been working out seriously for a few months now so chances are I'll be in the best shape of my life right before getting pregnant. I worry about getting out of shape and never getting my body back. I know that a lot of things like stretch marks are genetic and not under my control. And…

It's quackery. "The theory that our blood type determines what we should eat or what kind of exercise we should do is not supported by scientific evidence." http://www.med.nyu.edu/content?ChunkIID=214387

I don't measure seasonings. I don't worry about those calories. I do log things like ketchup and salsa, but not dried seasonings like pepper. As to weighing meat, I weigh after cooking.

Haven't done it; think it's hogwash.

You don't need weights to do "weight" training. You can do lots of exercises using your own body as the weight - push ups, wall sits, squats, lunges, planks, dips, crunches, etc. No fancy equipment needed.

I've only lost one shih-tzu/chihuahua mix so far (5 lbs of fluff and bones) but I'm aiming for one shih-tzu/chihuahua and one pomeranian/miniature pinscher mix (15 total lbs of fluff, bones, and bark).

I have noticed something about this thread. Many of the women describe themselves as a wife and mom first, before they identify the work they do for pay. I don't think a single man on this thread has described himself as a husband and dad first. Point one out if I'm wrong. Why is this so? Are all the men here single? I'm a…

I don't see a judge very often, but when I do, I'm like: .

I don't think you have to worry about waves. You are bathing in electromagnetic radiation "waves" at all times, whether or not you are wearing a device that receives or transmits them. Radio signals, TV signals, cell phone signals, wireless internet, and the background radiation from the big bang are all zinging around and…
