this ^^^^ it is really the only answer (aside from being on a prescription that may cause weight gain but you should be aware of that one) There is no such thing as starvation mode despite claims to the contrary by many read this http://www.aworkoutroutine.com/starvation-mode/ EDIT - I see you have opened the diary, you…

I do the same, I've been clipped a couple of times (and I've hit them in the ribs hard with an elbow when they did) On the flip side people riding not obeying road rules (yeah couriers I'm looking at you) Piss me off too. I had a courier hit me in the drivers door as I was turning left (he decided to pass me on the left…

Be My Lover - Alice Cooper

You Can't Sit Down - C.C. Ryder Blues Band (local guys)

this says it all I cycle downtown in the biggest city in Canada. I necver ride on sidewalks (I do use the multi use trails that pass through the university) . I will ride against traffic only on a couple of one way quiet neighbourhood sidestreets that I cut through on the way to and from work) If you are too scared to ride…

Dust My Blues - Elmore James & the Broom Dusters

it's like putting a red flag in front of a bull when i see these things I can't help myself:laugh: It's even worse when it comes to politics

you understand the nature of peer reviewed science at the academic level world wide do you not. An anecdotal comment from one scientist does not invalidate a proven system (I have many friends in the academic world at the university level. Not one would believe the emperor has no clothes in the case of vaccines - which…

or for that matter how the many died in concentration camps from starvation

thanks for that People still won't believe it

the Sodium is the big issue, you aren't likely to eat enough calories to kill your diet in one night, but it may take a few days of lots of water to flush the sodium (and 2-3 pounds it brought)

this and the science supporting it has been completely debunked and this will provide links to the peer reviewed reports debunking this crap http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2011/02/03/the-clueless-cite-the-ignorant/

great job that first big hurdle obese to overweight feels good I wish I'd done the measurement thing myself I started Dec 21st before I found MFP Jan 26) I'm down 27.2 same height) Keep up the good work

Lots of inspiration here, I've been walking a lot myself (54 - 7 km a day with a half marathon walk goal for may) all the talk will have me on C 2 5K as well. (I looked at the program just need to download the app) I skied for a living a couple of years so my knees aren''t the best but i know the issues with them as well…

if you are changing in measurements but not weight you are building muscle there are a lot of variables no-one can speak to without knowing facts Height current weight etc Also are you weighing everthing you log? if not you could actually be consuming more Also are you drinking enough water (there may be some retention…

Meditations (Live Cornell 1964) - Charles Mingus

I tend to agree I no longer tan intentionally though (and haven't really for decades) When I was young though I worked outdoors a lot and always had a dark golden tan for most of the summer, I don't burn particularly easily though - My wife OTOH burns in a short time and has never had a tan (a couple of burns as a kid)…

Look at your total week because a blow out night will make you feel guilty otherwise. if you are still withing your goal range for the week great, if not well then pick up someextra exercise or cut a little knowing you will gain back some. Low Cal beer (yeech can't stand it personally) COcktails can be low cal depends on…

What Is This Thing Called Love - Charlie Parker

yes- I was homeless for 8 months (over the winter yet) when i was 20 so I did a lot of things i wouldn't do now (I could tell you all the places where bread and milk were drop delivered early in the am at the time as well, I lived on bread and milk)

First I'll say congratulations for taking the step, The advice you've been given pretty much says it all. You really don't want to lose at a crazy rate for a couple of reasons. You will lose a lot of muscle along with the fat (probably not inititally though given your current size) you will see talk about 1200 calories but…

it's all relative to height not sex. 30 pounds is a lot more on on a shorter small frame than on someone 5'10-6' I've lost 26.8 myself since Dec 21st but it mainly shows in my face and my belly is flatter. the next 30 will have me looking pretty slim, but that is a 60 pound loss on a 5'10 frame

I'd hire you because it is rare to see the dedication to be honest. I don't eat fast food really at all, but I've worked over the years with a number of mangers who got their start in fast food, and most were excellent managers (not all but not all of any job are) As for the slagging of the employees by people, the trick…

the last thiong I would have eaten at Macdonalds would have been an Egg McMuffin and it would have been at a sales training where they were brought in probably 10 years or more back. Actually spending my own money there early 90's maybe Not a fan of their burgers (So many better options here even at the budget end of the…

Excellent explanation. Statistics are not something most people grasp easily. You should teach them

Empirical Evidence versus the anecdotal conclusions please. The shot actually can (and doers for many) make you feel worse for a couple of days - beats the hell out of 5-7 bedridden and feeling like death if you ask me In anyu case people not getting a flu shot is not a major concern People not vaccinating (and getting the…

You don't mention height (that is a factor) but I would say June is pushing it. Not to say it cannot be done. You need to look at a few things Figure out your TDEE and BMR To lose a pound a week you need to cut 3500 calories so 500 calories a day. Double that for 2 pounds a week which is considered as Aggressive as you…

I walk between 5 and 8 Kilometers a day, every day, otherwise my life is pretty sedentary. I eat back about 2/3 of the calories burned and maintain a low (1220 calorie) profile before exercise. I average 2 pounds a week loss in the last 40 days. aA big chunk of my walking is just walking home after work rather than transit…

Question one for the teen choice - are they grad student geniuses in immunology who can make an informed choice? No? then they get the vaccine because the genius immunologists would as well
