The hospital I was working at had a psych ward that was always looking for new clothes. I don't know if there is one near you though...

I am avoiding carbs but 3 chips has (not including the Laughing Cow): 66 calories 3 g total fat 12 mg cholesterol 228 mg sodium 0 g carbs 6 g protein 1% vitamin A 18% calcium 3 chips usually does it for me since they are pretty large (about the size of the palm of my small hand).

You bet! I love me some cheese! LOL! In all fairness though, baked Parmesan doesn't really remind me of cheese because it's so crispy.

my personal favorite is when people type like this without any capitalization or punctuation so i really have no idea where one thought ends and another begins not to mention there is no emphasis on anything and its hard for people to get the message across this way oh and i hate it when people type in ebonics or something…

I have a heart condition as well... my cardiologist told me I was okay to exercise as long as my heart rate does not go over 200. However, I would recommend you still talk to your doctor about the issue.

My apologies. I must have misunderstood/misread. In my experience, very few studies can be trusted. Results can be skewed to say practically anything and more often than not the people conducting the studies do not use the appropriate statistical tests to analyze their results rendering them meaningless. The also don't…

I agree with this post and your original post. It does trick the brain into expecting more calories, which causes your body to release more insulin, which causes you to feel more hungry. However, if you aren't going over your calories, it won't make you gain weight. I have been dieting for 3 months and drinking…

Water follows salt therefore you can drink all the water you want but it won't flush out the sodium since your kidney's like to retain sodium. However, doctors (like me) recommend keeping your sodium intake to less than 2.4 grams in a day for people with high blood pressure but if you do not have high blood pressure you…

Hi, I'm a doctor with some weight-loss setting experience. I would recommend: Fiber: Take before meals to help you feel full faster (most people don't get enough fiber anyway). Start with very low doses and work your way up over a few weeks or else you will get bloated and gassy. Chromium Picolinate: Take before a meal.…

Adipex is great for short term use. However, it is addictive and does end up losing it's effect after a few months. As far as trouble sleeping goes, try only taking 2 doses a day (morning and lunch) and skip the dinner dose. That's what I do and I sleep much better. I do get very bad dry mouth but I don't necessarily think…

Anything you drink counts as water unless it has caffeine. Caffeine acts as a diuretic and causes the body to get rid of more water so it's counter productive. It's not a myth, you can look it up in any drug database; look at the side effects and you'll find "diuresis" which is the medical term for increased urination.…

I like mine with grilled chicken, green peppers, salsa, and sour cream... Yumm!

Amen.

I wish i could "like" things similar to Facebook. This has been a very entertaining debate.

A lot of people start to feel insecure when their significant other loses weight and gets fit. I'm not sure that there is much you can do about it except to reassure them and just let them wait it out to see for themselves that they are not going to lose you to someone more attractive. I say 130 lbs is perfectly reasonable…
