Where do you buy white terrible *kitten* sugar?

This.

The setup for failure is a crucial point that often gets overlooked in these discussions. Yes, eating only pure, healthy food at every meal may have some health benefits. But that is not the only way to eat healthy. And it isn't a plan for success for many individuals. I do think some people actually find it easier to take…

Actually, there are published studies in peer-reviewed journals that back this claim. I will search for the links and post them. I think Weight Watchers can be frustrating for some people because of the "free foods" which, as someone stated, can push you over in calories without realizing it. But of all the well-known…

If you eat out anywhere, it's likely you are consuming a bunch of sodium, which is likely going to cause your body to retain water - at least until the next morning. So I don't dispute your claim that if you go out for a pizza or burger, you will see a "weight gain" the next day. But I'm not convinced that isn't water…

We like to argue without context and details. Often threads are really 3-4 different points being argued. Of course calories matter where they come from if you are talking about nutrition. Where the calories come from do not matter if you are strictly talking about weight loss. There are some corollary benefits to eating…

The saddest part of this story is thinking about the chickens that might have had a life-long dream to grow up delicious. Now they'll never know.

I wish this wasn't so hard for people to grasp. I don't think people are dumb. I think they are blinded by a desire to lose weight fast. I think they are blinded by misinformation, and buy into something that sounds right because it gets repeated so much. I think people place way too much value on anecdotal evidence (my…

Congratulations. I wish you'd share that other NSV. It deserves celebrating.

If you are considering both of these, at least give Rushfit a look: http://www.gsprushfit.com/ There are some reviews online you can find. It's cheaper than P90X, you don't have to buy as much equipment, and there is ZERO upsell. No shakes, no commercials, no spam. P90X is great, Insanity is good too. I think Rushfit is…

I suspect you probably know this already, but in case you're unaware: you do have the ability to not participate. I imagine the festive nature of a buffalo eating contest would be ruined if the judges were there at gunpoint. Also, you could eat buffalo wings and work it off later. Or stay within your calorie goals. Or go…

Phew! I thought you might be eating your friends. You'll probably notice temptation all around you if you plan to leave the house or watch TV. I find it's ultimately easier to not expect my friends, family or co-workers to care one bit about my food choices. It's not their business or their responsibility. I make my own…

I used to think people have changed in a few generations. But I honestly don't think significant changes to society happen in a few decades. Changes just don't happen that fast. I think we have more access, more information, more people, less room, less quiet. I believe we have more disposable time, people working from…

Yeah, that's not really in the spirit of "coexisting."

Why you have to get all serious on us? Everyone knows the smell of your own farts is a personal thing.

Exactly. Your post is worth a lot more than 2 cents.

Arsenic E-coli Broken glass Someone else's poo

Not at all. I think you should post more. But just so I can find them easier, would you mind putting an indicator in the subject line so I know it's a topic you have started? Maybe something like: Should I be banned from the topics forum? lol cast your vote [g42] That way I can find topics you've started without having to…

Please accept my apologies for that rash and doctor visit.

There is a Bennigan's at the Galleria Mall in Dallas, TX. It's right next to an ice skating rink. At least it was in 1998. I had my heart broken in that restaurant. Don't go there.

Totally dude. That sideways ball cap gives me the heebie-jeebies too!

I'd love to make you a pine cone bird feeder. If only I knew how.

Learn the mechanics. The emotional stuff will come. Make your life easier by getting some of the mechanics down. Good advice already posted about watching out for the pee. Are you using cloth diapers? Very different from disposable. Practice with the diapers you are going to be using. Put diapers on a doll of similar…

So true and so worth it. I was running in shoes that I thought were great for me (because hey, there were a great running shoe brand). I went in to a local store and had someone analyze my walking and running gait. Ended up with a pair of shoes that made running enjoyable. Under $100.

Does this correlate to your activity level?

Come on. Really? Everyone knows scratching your butt burns 7 calories.

I worked at a Children's Emergency Center for two years (home-based environment for abused and neglected kids) and worked with CPS often. So I've seen the horrors you are referring to. Helping kids start on the path toward forgiveness was some of the most meaningful work I've ever done. Forgiving can be empowering. For…

As long as people continue to hold onto the idea that "forgiveness" means saying something is OK, or not holding someone accountable, you're going to get a lot of NO answers. If you define forgiveness as "giving up the right to punish" then that might change some things. I look at forgiveness as a way to release the…

Because some feel THAT is acting like a douche (not accepting). The notice is an attempt at pre-emptive douchiness. To the OP: you should ask anyway. Or send a PM. You can still connect with people, even if you're not on their Friends List. Some may ignore you. Some might be rude. Some may see some common interests and you…

Out of curiosity, how would this post have felt if you were still in the "Everyone is Sabotaging Me" mentality? Would you be motivated to change? Would reading this post be the tipping point? Would you see the post and all the replies and think to yourself "Wow, I really do need to put on my big girl pants and start taking…
