Lol. Nope. I'm just going off what my mom says. There's threads made entirely of moms?

Totally disagree. I am not congratulating the initial poster if my being terribly attractive depended on it.

Sometimes fat people lose the weight to find out they have an ugly personality.

I have experienced this and it is great for weight loss. Also, stop eating until you can see in the mirror that you have lost weight. Adding calories on top of calories that you are already eating is what fat people do to lose weight. Eating less while exercising more is what good looking people do.

Fast for 36 hours.

Most people do not count a juicy steak as a glass of water. The point of drinking 8 glasses of water/day is to get people to substitute pure water for other beverages such as sodas, high calorie fruit juices, alcohol, and others drinks. Most people simply cannot drink enough fluid to get in 8 glasses of water while still…

You didn't lend a friend money. You sold a friend two items without A) a background check B) a credit check C) any written agreement on to when and how quickly the money would be repaid. There are two ways to lose a friend: The first is to borrow money. The second is to lend a friend money. My advice: ask for the money…

Anyone else from my side of the pond love reading these posts of Brits losing stones and speaking in cryptic metric parlance? I mean, "over 4 stone gone" just sounds more interesting. I think maybe it's because the british aren't afraid to measure their money in pounds but measure their weight in rocks. Makes me reconsider…

Equipment Equipment Equipment. I know you asked for 5 things, but this is the end all be all. The more diverse and numerous the equipment the more you can keep yourself engaged and find an open machine. You're not there to look at chicks/guys or pamper yourself. These things are nice, but ancillary. If you can find a gym…

I'm torn. I believe in spending whatever it takes to have the proper equipment for any given activity, as it's cheaper to do it right the first time than it is to do it again. But at this point I don't think shoes are your problem. If you're walking and are experiencing pain it's likely your feet are not used to the…

...or perhaps I'm not taking this all that seriously. But thanks for saying I look good.

Eck.

I concede defeat.

Or....

You just pimped out your MFP friends for a limited time to prove you have hot friends. Sadly this was poorly done as all friends are beautiful, but many of yours are not "hot." If I need MFP when I am over 40, London, you have my permission to kill me. Lastly, this is not a dating site for one reason: no one here wants to…

Is this supposed to be a joke?

This. Plus if her BMR is 1534 and she is lightly active the OP will burn 1900-2000 calories/day. If she wants to lose 2 lbs each week she would have to stick to 900-1000 calories, or exercise to earn some extra calories. Your advice of "eat more" is ludicrous. What's your idea? Eat 1800 calories/day, hope you didn't…

Come up with a number and stick to it. For instance, no matter how many calories MFP says you have earned through exercise try to stay between 1700-1900 calories. Up to you though.

Yes of course. Anyone who would date me I wouldn't want to date.

Money. Good work keep it up!

"Gobsmacked."

Both work. But if you can run without pain then I would run. It's good to get your heart rate up.

Ha sorry guys I didn't think anyone was following anymore so I posted on a new thread. This is how it went! :) "Well, it was something." I called it Turboing: fasting for 36 hours coupled with two sessions of intense workouts. Here's how it went. My Diary July 1st, 2013 6 pm - So it begins... I ate dinner and began the…

For Pete's sake.

100% in agreement. I'm glad there are people here who can accept that physical appearance plays a role, instead of pretending it is irrelevant. I mean, aren't we all here to look better? Sure, healthy is good. But I would be willing to bet most people want to be healthy AND look better.

I agree. But it is not shallow to care about what the person is like inside as well as outside. Have you dated someone you were not physically attracted to at all? How did that turn out?

Yes guys care about weight. What Barnum & Bailey circus are we throwing popcorn in where that is even a reasonable question? It's like asking if bears care about gummy. But that is not the answer to what I feel you are really asking. "Mr. Right" is such a loaded phrase. What may be right for you is completely subjective. I…

There is no such thing as a "cheat day." When you eat above and beyond your suggested calorie intake you are merely saving yourself from entering "starvation mode." Your significant other cheats on you, you don't cheat on yourself. That's my first answer to the topic question. My second is, "all the way."

Have you ever fasted for say three full days? Two? 7 days of fasting takes a tremendous amount of will power and patience, or being stuck on a deserted island. I'm not saying that you CAN'T do it...no, that is absolutely what I'm saying. But try. What's the worse that can happen?
