Mark, answering this question again, with patience and knowledge and good information. Every time.

Yay! Refreshing change of pace not to get bent out of shape with a little poking in fun. Very cool. Another vote for cottage cheese. It's relatively cheap, a good source of protein, and you can find it almost anywhere. When I traveled recently, I got some and stocked the hotel fridge. It's one of the more filling snacks I…

I so want to watch "Cooking with Ted" Tuesday nights on NBC......

That you posted the original topic and replied to the Guru like this is actually kind of awesome.

PBT - Great post. Sadly, the discussion is already devolving into a debate about different kinds of nice and different kinds of honesty. That irony is even sadder that 10,000 spoons on your wedding day.

This ^^^ Read it again. Understand it. It's not hard to read or understand because of the punctuation and use of paragraphs. Everyone has typos. And people make mistakes. But don't be lazy. Our level of communication is what separates us from the animals. Respect that.

You, I will listen to. Thanks for this. Especially that last part.

Dude, so glad you posted that. You seem to really grasp the seriousness of the situation.

Well said. I don't discount the health benefits of lemons or lemon juice. But there simply aren't any secrets or shortcuts to weight loss. If you think lemon juice helps you create a caloric deficit and you lose weight, that is fantastic. I will cheer you on in your weight loss. But I will credit the caloric deficit and…

For those of you considering getting your cats declawed, keep in mind that without cat claws, the world may never have had this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCJux_7W2i8

I did the exact same thing. I loved the look of the Timex and have had Timex watches in the past. But the first time I used the HRM on the Timex, it seemed way too high (just comparing other friends at similar weights/ages doing similar exercises). I did some research and Polar seems pretty committed to accuracy. I ended…

Lots and lots and lots of threads on this very subject. Here is a sampling obtained by typing "HRM" into the Search bar: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/344154-anyone-out-there-lost-weight-without-a-polar-hrm http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/345496-p90x-and-hrm…

Please continue doing this, as I'm definitely interested in finding a secret to weight loss. Here is what I suggest, though: Keep doing the warm lemon water mornings for 2 weeks. And eat exactly the amount of calories your body needs, factoring in exercise (e.g., do not create a calorie deficit). Then report back with the…

I've done this. I'll pretty much chew on anything, I guess. More of a cheek biter, often drawing blood. I don't do it very often anymore, mostly stress related, I think. As far as trying to stop, I think you have to simply not start. And I'm not being flippant. Once I start, it's hard to not keep going back to it, even…

It sounds trite, but "stunning" only lasts a little while. And I don't mean growing older. I mean that if someone is "stunning" but doesn't feel comfortable, feels unfit, etc. - if that person sincerely wants to be something else, then "stunning" will give way to "issues." Being comfortable in your own skin, confidence,…

Elephants are the only animals with four knees.

Like asking for (or giving) vet advice on a fitness website where membership requires zero credentials?

I like walnuts.

I think Polar is the way to go. I bought a Timex because I liked the look of it better, and it seemed to be more like a regular watch. I like Timex watches. And the Timex ones have a stopwatch and countdown timer. But the calorie reading was terrible. Just not enough info to give an accurate reading (you only enter weight…

Well, think about it. It's a question of data points and margin of error, yes? MFP only knows the exercise type and duration. Your watch lets you enter age, sex, weight, max HR, etc. - then you add duration and average HR over the course of the activity. Weight alone can create a huge variance in calories burned. A 250…

That first sentence is wrong. Should be: "Now every man's worst nightmare."

This thread made me smile. I'm happy you are getting married and your family is providing for you. The responses posted were great. I read your initial post and started to reply with similar sentiments, but others already said it better than I could. I love your before and after pics in your signature. Your profile pics…

Umm.. I said that. And it wasn't just sit on the couch and eat. It was sit on the couch and eat Nutella. BECAUSE RALLY CAR

You did say slow cooker. I am low on think good today. I forget that means crock pot because I don't ever say slow cooker, when the phonetically superior "crock pot" is available.

I will elbow small children out of the way for some good homemade hummus and veggies.

Some good suggestions in this thread. BECAUSE RALLY CAR. I think dropping out to find another type of exercise is a whole lot different than dropping out to sit on the couch with a big spoon and a tub of Nutella. BECAUSE RALLY CAR. I like the idea of finding a 5K to do anyway - lots of people do them in intervals, many of…

Oh. Well, I guess I can still be dense without trying. Thanks for pointing that out. I read the statement differently (like they had talked when planning to move in together), but you are probably right. Makes sense now.

OK. Then why did you start this thread? I'm not trying to be mean or snarky or combative. Or dense. Genuinely curious. Here is your original post: The mother of the child is completely cool with your cat. It can't be a financial issue, because it sounds like the cost of the procedure will make the difference in deposits…

I wish more questions were posted like this (clearly stated, understandable context and limitations, etc.) The lazy alternative would be: "Help! What do I bring to a tailgate party?" Anyway.. Do you have a crock pot? A good stew or pot of beans can be a great healthy compliment to tailgate food. Might be hard with…
