Holy *kitten*. You mean losing weight is kind of like getting a haircut? If I don't like it, I can just let it grow back? No big deal? It doesn't mean I failed, I just made a different decision? That makes more sense than anything I have ever heard about weight loss in my LIFE. How did it work out for you, if you don't…

No worries. People do often miss my humor. :D

So was I. I just forgot the winky face. :grin: It's hard to read sarcasm, and I'm pretty sarcastic. My bad.

As I understand things (I may be misinformed, I was homeschooled (unfortunately, I was very unhappy there) so all I know of guidance counselors is what I've gleaned from the media, guidance counselors are typically limited to one school and service students of all socioeconomic statues. She works all over Dallas ISD and…

I don't know how good this is for runs, I only walk and this might be bouncy in running, but I have a 32 ounce water bottle with a handle in the lid, and a strap with lobster clasps on it from a cheap crossbody purse. I thread the strap through the handle and wear the bottle crossbody with the straw on the bottle facing…

And many feel more satiated eating low calorie high carb vegetables (a tomato is hardly calorie dense and is high in nutrition) than they do eating high calorie low carb meats/cheeses. I do. I eat 150-250 carbs a day, even as a diabetic, some high calorie, some low calorie veggies, and feel perfectly satisfied. I ate low…

This. The children that she's helped have gone on to graduate, some from ivy league institutions, with honors and now have very promising careers. These children are not the underachievers in school that she's scooping up from the bottom of the class and forcing into college, these are children that have the grades to get…

I always write a lot. I'm a fast typist and love the sound of my virtual voice. :grin: No one should feel like a jerk for having a privilege or using that privilege to their advantage. As long as they aren't using it to TAKE advantage of others, like Harvey Weinstein. I think that you (generic, not pointing fingers) should…

I got too fat because I ate too much. I ate a lot of sugar, but most of the foods I ate that were high in sugar were also high in fat. I also ate a *lot* of pasta and bread, foods that don't have any (or much) added sugar at all. My dad was obese from childhood as well, he didn't eat that much sugar. Especially not in the…

But it's going into your veins, not your stomach. And it's just saline, so it's not any nutrients. Just salt.

He's an amazing speaker, you're right. I have a lot of respect for my church (I'm still culturally an SDA, even though I no longer believe in God, so I still consider it "my" church) and it's leaders, in most issues. They try to stay close to the Bible and absolutely believe in separation of church and state. A lot of…

Obvs. It's so simple. But I'll lose my hair. I just cut off four-five inches, due to an overzealous bit of bleaching when I tried going pink (I loved the pink, but the dye I used was crap and couldn't get a good even dye and couldn't justify the cost of the upkeep). So my hair finally looks like my own again, and I don't…

But it IS a privilege to be able to climb stairs, walk up an inline, walk across uneven ground without falling, kneel on the floor, and climb ladders. The difficulty setting on the video game of life for the majority of people is set much lower than it is for some, and that's all that privilege is: how hard is your life…

If stretch marks are scars, and you can heal them by starving yourself of food and water for three days (or more), does this mean I can also heal my huge knee surgery scar by doing the same thing? Can I also regenerate severed nerves at the same time? I sure would like to look better in shorts and not have my leg feel…

I would have loved that when I was using my android. I couldn't even figure out how to map out a walk on the app though, and have no idea how to do it on the iPhone either (haven't tried). Especially if I could set it to know my weight and get a better estimate based on how heavy I am! Making it optional would have been…

The child support may have happened anyway. She may have been looking for a fight in any way she could, I don't know. Sucks for you though, but I'm sure your child is worth the inconvenience right now. And there's only so many more years you have to pay for them!

Also the owners of McKee Foods, the makers of Little Debbie are Seventh-day Adventist. A lot of students at Southern Adventist University/Academy work in the factory. They sponsor (or did) a NASCAR car and the Little Debbie logos are covered on the Sabbath (Saturday) to reflect the SDA belief in their holy day. We have…

I believe most wars would have been avoided if the principal players had had their coffee before responding to what they thought were insults. ;)

Former Seventh-day Adventist, now atheist, here. We do not follow the dietary laws of the Torah. We encourage our members to follow the health practices set forth in our "Health Message" as written by the women we believe to be our prophet. This is either an entirely plant-based diet (we typically call ourselves "vegans"…

I think it's a negative phrase because it sets the stage for victim blaming. Not in the case of exercising, but in other areas of life - if you just TRIED harder you could focus on your schoolwork, when the real issue is ADHD, for example. Not to sound all "PC", but it's also ableist taken at its face value. Most people…

My doctor has never attributed any of my medical issues to my weight, except ones that could legitimatly be improved by losing weight: my knee pain, and that with a lot of caveats. But even with my knee pain he understood that weight wasn't the whole equation and sent me for MRIs to check for arthritis and other mechanical…

I log my meds in a different app, but not for calories sake. This other app is a diabetes management app and has reminders for medications. I'm on a lot of meds, so I need the reminders. I also like having a record of having taken them every day.

I went to a surgeon for the sleeve, but it was going to cost $5,000 with insurance, so I didn't get it done. I don't think I was ready for it anyway. I started here last year on December 30, with 150 pounds to lose. So far I've lost 50 pounds. I figure it'll take another two years to lose the next 100, but I'm in no real…

If it keeps happening when you eat high fat foods have your gallbladder looked at. You may have gallstones, or your gallbladder may be diseased. Other symptoms of gallbladder problems include pain in the upper right quadrant of your abdomen after eating fatty foods. Even when I had gallbladder problems, I would typically…

Yesterday was my first of fourteen days of my first purposeful diet break, and it was harder than I expected. I know I obviously ate enough to gain 150 pounds, but I'm so used to eating at a deficit that eating more than that is unexpectedly hard. It's only 500 or so extra calories, but I was so full last night after I got…

I didn't log for three-four months this summer. I lost five pounds during that time. But I was still keeping track of what I ate in my head for the most part. If I take a break from tracking entirely, even in my head, I gain weight because I go back to old habits. Not much in a week though.

About six years ago I dropped 70 pounds. Went from 268-278 to 220-something or sl. Got complacent (really my mental illness kicked info overdrive and I just didn't give a *kitten* anymore, but the reason I got complacent doesn't really matter) and over the last six years I gained that seventy pounds back and they brought…

Three more NSV for me! I have ridden my stationary bike for at least 20 minutes at a time for 19 of the last 23 days. I'm almost a quarter of the way through my 100 day challenge, and while I won't have made it through all 100 days with riding every day like I planned, if I can get through the challenge with riding at…
