Cashiers who are too busy talking on the phone to talk with their customers. Parents who sit and watch their children act like brats or are too busy to do something about it.

My husband recently passed one, and it was awful to see him in so much pain. I strongly encourage you to push him to go to a doctor. I know he's a grown man, but maybe he doesn't realize that sometimes it takes medical assistance to get them out. My brother-in-law couldn't pass his on his own. Also, if this is something…

What she said! ^

I took it for a month and lost weight. All the reps claim there are no bad side effects, but I'm guessing they are just choosing to ignore anything negative that people tell them. That's what the person who sold it to me did. It made me sick, dizzy to the point of almost passing out, and super tired. I almost fell asleep…

And I snickered a little when I read this.

I keep my husband happy. :)

Impressive!

Great job on getting rid of your excuses and losing the weight! You are looking fantastic!!

Paranoid much? I don't have a stick figure family on the back of my minivan, but anyone who can count to 4 can easily tell how many children I have just by looking, and, you know, counting the kids as we stroll down the grocery store aisles.

No problem! I saw it in a video someone posted on facebook. I couldn't keep such great information to myself. That would just be wrong.

Your numbers Obesity Index 26bmi BMI is an estimate of how "overweight" or "obese" a person is National Below average You have a lower BMI than 60% of females aged 15-29 in your country Global Above average You have a higher BMI than 80% of females aged 15-29 in the world Did you know? If everyone in the world had the same…

Crack your eggs in a bowl, then grab a clean water bottle. Turn it upside down, squeeze it, stick the opening over a yolk, then let go. It sucks the yolk inside the bottle and any egg white that gets sucked up falls right back out. It's awesome! Oh, and the yolk stays completely intact!

I apologize for my snarkiness. I misunderstood your question, thinking he didn't care about his weight but you did. I think you're asking how to seriously up his calorie intake while watching what he eats due to his pre-diabetic condition, and my answer would be to seek help from a doctor.

Tie him up and force-feed him? On a serious note, share your concerns with him. Cook high-calorie meals for him. That's all I can think of.

Definitely keep your hands off unless you just want a quick heart rate check. Holding the bar will decrease your calorie burn. Being on my own with my 4 kiddos for the majority of the time, a treadmill has been the best purchase I have made. It is nearly impossible to find time to go outside for a run. And quite honestly,…

Ummmmmm......you do know that veggies have lots of carbs, right? Or are you saying that they are living off of just breads and crackers, etc. Because that's how my 4-year-old is.

I can't do much of anything for my first 2 days. So, no, I don't exercise for those days. all these horror stories of skipping days and gaining weight are crazy. You don't gain weight because you skip a few days of work-outs. You gain weight by over-eating. Whether you work out or not is up to you. Whether you maintain…

I have been worrying about this, too, as I will be having a partial done probably next month. Everyone keeps telling me I'll have to really watch my weight. But I can't see how a partial hysterectomy would affect my weight. I'd love to hear from other women on this.

Are you counting how many calories you are consuming?

At your current weight, no, I don't think it's possible unless you do something really extreme. But please don't eat at a 1000 calorie deficit everyday! You could realistically shoot for a pound per week for a month maybe. But you'd probably need to change it to .5 pound per week after that.

I have four perfectly healthy, not overweight children who all had treats when they were babies. Shocking, I know! Careful though. You could get light-headed at such high altitudes.

"My Sister's Keeper" when Kate dies. Every. Single. Time. But pretty much any movie scene where children die.

Pretty much everything she said. Except my husband and I decided on 2 before we married and ended up with 4. Only one of them was a "whoops!" baby, though. I had my first child the day before I turned 21. I don't feel like. I have missed out on anything by having children early. But that's just me. People are different.…

I used to looooooove My Cousin Vinny!

I opened this thinking it was a teenager's rant about parents buying the wrong food or something. I was pleasantly surprised. I forgot to add: it IS hard. When I was 18, I had to buy my own gas for the car my parents gave me. ????

I actually have a mirror in my bedroom that makes me look better to myself. It's the weirdest thing! A couple months ago, I got dressed for church. I looked in the mirror and thought to myself, "my weight loss is really starting to show!", did a mental happy dance, and went on my merry way. I glanced at myself in the…

I haven't really got any clothes that are way too big, but when the time comes, I will be looking for someone to give them to. If I can't find anyone who needs them, they'll go to my local thrift store. Please don't throw your clothes away. Donate! We losers know what it is like to need cheap clothing, so return the favor…

I didn't see this before I posted above. Sorry you're going through this!

If you make your diary public, I bet you'll get some help. There are some very knowledgeable people around here. But I'll go ahead and throw this out there: a lot of people go into weight-loss thinking they have to eat "diet foods". Eat regular things. The same things you ate when you were gaining weight. Just eat less of…

Just go back into your settings and you can easily change your activity level. Don't worry - no one expects you to load up your food scale when you done out. :) You will find as you begin to weigh your food, you'll learn what a proper portion looks like and you'll be able to eyeball and estimate a whole lot better for…
