  • I also had one where the anesthetic wasn't working. The doctor said "we can give you an antibiotic prescription and reschedule you and hope that helps, or we can keep going and I'll just keep applying anesthetic as I go and hope." I picked keep going. It was incredibly painful but I could breath through it and knew it was…
  • Saying this with love. You're the one using Amazon and Google search results as proof here and then talking about incorrect generalizing. You're not quoting The Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, or any other peer reviewed source, but the internet. I could also search Amazon for Bigfoot erotica. The number of results…
  • Another thought, with your calories restrictions has your energy level dropped? If you aren't as active because you feel tired from the reduced calories, your daily calorie burn drops. Make sure you are active as much as possible during the day. If you're taking the bus, get off a stop or two early. Go to the bathroom on a…
  • There is a carrot and a stick. The carrot aspect is the classes are things I enjoy and I have gotten to know people at those classes who will greet me by name and smile. So I'm not walking in cold. They have set start times so my phone beeps at me for "time to go". The stick side is the no-show fees I get charged if I late…
  • I just got back from Disneyland and ate so many bad things! Chocolate dusted churros with spicy chocolate dipping sauce. I ate so many churros, but these were my favorite. tigger tails! honey pot rice krispie treat Dole Whip Cocoa and powdered sugar powdered beignets Pomme frites! At one point I had pomme frites in one…
  • White sugar is not the devil. Other sources of sugar are not magically healthy. They might come paired with items that are healthy (such as fiber and nutrients if you are eating whole fruit) but are just as able to cause weight gain. Fruit juice does not contain white sugar, but boy can it cause you to pack on the pounds.…

  • Look, this reply was typed on the phone app. Notice how it has proper sentence structure. That’s all it takes. Double tap to add periods, switching over to the number/symbol keyboard for commas, it’s that simple. Clarity in communication is VITAL when all we have to use is your written words and have no non-verbal cues…
  • Are you on the app or the website? If website, did you clear your browser history and try again. Sometimes it glitches.
  • I do yoga and OTF classes and really enjoy them. In the past I've also taken classes at the standard gym chain and ended up stopping pretty quickly. So here are the things I like about my current classes and disliked about the other ones. 1. Classes should have a max attendance and advance signup with a wait list. I've…
  • Get out the sauce pan and make a nice cup of hot cocoa. It takes a while to make and slow to consume. It's my treat when I have enough calories at the end of the day. It sound decadent but mine comes in around 230-250 calories per serving (I use 1% milk). The warmth will also make you relaxed and sleepy.
  • I'm going to say this badly but I will try anyway. Technically your macros have nothing to do with your weight loss. If you consume 1,300 calories today and you burn 2,000, your body will burn 700 calories and you will lose that much weight. However, finding the right macro ratio for you will determine if you can stick…
  • My finally synced this morning, so then I had to fix double entries for yesterday. I have ads on my page (I have premium) and front page won't load.
  • I'd be more worried about the fact that there is a limit to how many you are supposed to have per day (in fact per hour) since they are, in fact, medicine.
  • Drink tea. I went cold turkey for a month (that sucked) but then started drinking hot tea. I even bought a decent electric kettle for work and keep a stash of tea bags and sugar packs at my desk. It is saving my lots of money and I always have access to another cup (instead of starting to have withdrawals, rushing out to…
  • Not in my house it wouldn't. It might even get you disowned.
  • Wait, if these are toxins attached to the organs and not in the organs, how does the cleanse drink get to them? Unless she is drinking nanobots armed with tiny knives to cut their way out and brushes to scrub away the toxins... I have so many questions. Like how do toxins attached to organs cause the body to hold onto fat…
  • I disagree. There is a ton of advertising money being spent on questionable and flat out quack diet and fitness products. Pills and powders promising instant results, devices that promise this one exercise routine will do it all, etc. The major gym chains that make it nearly impossible to not enroll (oh you want to know…
  • Today was my weigh in day, up one pound. I'm looking forward to getting back into the routine and there being a few less treats around.
  • Just drink 32 oz of water and drown them all. Just play some music so no one hears the cries for help.
  • A lot of things labeled diet aren't worth the extra price, but there are great grab & go healthy foods that don't have the diet label. The above mentioned Starbuck's Turkey Bacon and the Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Sandwich. Do NOT get the Dunkin Donut turkey sausage sandwich, it is a calorie bomb in comparison. Instant…
  • I'm a member and really enjoy it. It's a good program but I realize it's not for everyone. Price: Depending on city you could be paying anywhere from $150 to $250 a month for unlimited sessions. There are 4 per month and 8 per month plans. It's a sticker shock for people who are thinking it's going to be about the same as…
  • Premier Protein shakes. 30 g of protein for only 160 calories (compared to the 220-250 for protein bars). Shelf stable, available in a variety of flavors, sold at Target and Walmart as well as online. If I look at my totals at the end of the day and realize my protein is really low I almost always have enough calories to…
  • When I imagine someone promoting this to me, I immediately see someone in leopard print spandex and a leather motorcycle jacket with lots of buckles and zippers. Possibly with one foot on an amp.
  • I think some of the recipes are flash fads. There is no reason that EVERYTHING must be cooked in the Instant Pot. If it doesn't save any time or steps, or doesn't retain the original's texture or taste, why bother? For example I saw a recipe for creme brulee in the Instant Pot that mixes everything in a separate bowl, then…
  • It should be renamed. I recommend either "Bull *kitten*" or "Oh Hell No".
  • As a female the type of top you are wearing will be a factor. Chest straps shouldn't be worn with sports bras containing underwire.
  • For the embryo, if there was a line, it would be "does this change prevent the child from living a full life/relatively normal life?". If the change is something that would cause serious impact on the future child's life (intentionally having a kid without legs or sex organs) or causes pain on purpose. I also don't see…
  • I think I'd avoid the ENT first. Asking you to eliminate two whole food groups like that. Concur on the herbal tea. Fake coffee would just depress me.
  • All this talk of Pizza has me wanting Beau Jo's. A Mountain Pie with Pesto, Chicken, Red Onions, Spinach, Garlic, with fresh basil on top.
  • I see some of the rudeness and don't think it's intentional. I think people are too used to dashing off quick text messages to friends and don't apply more of the letter writing rules to their posts. They dive right in, write rather abrupt sentences, and bail out. No greeting, slow build, etc. If one is trying to help a…
