I personally don't care about exactly how many ounces of water I'm getting. As long as your urine isn't dark, I think you're ok.

Ridiculous! You think it's "natural" for girls to do "crafts" and for boys NOT to? Neither are true. The only reason boys like to do "boy" things is because they are conditioned to. From the moment they are born, gender roles are forced upon them. It's a product of society and nothing more.

Just wanted to say that being transgendered does not mean the person has something wrong with their genitalia. My cousin is transgendered - born a girl, now living as a man and has legally changed his name. I didn't bother to go to that link, cause I'm pretty sure I'll find it upsetting and disgusting.

this thing says I should weigh 105 lbs.. seems too low for me. :frown: interesting, nonetheless

I'm 5'1" and aiming for 120 right now. I'll re-evaluate once I get there. I'm currently at 138.

Same here! You are exactly right. POC don't have white privilege. Even if a white person is poor, they are still at a social advantage compared to non-whites with their same income, even living in the same housing complex or area.

I weigh myself 3 times every morning. I weigh, move the scale, & repeat. If I see a loss, I need to be sure that it's real.

I don't count sugar at all. I'm pretty much exclusively looking at calories and sodium. I don't want to complicate it. I want to be realistic and eat the foods I will always eat - whether I'm trying to lose weight or not. Hopefully you'll find what works for you. As long as you don't go over your maintenance, at least you…

Yeah, I've lost 12 pounds. It's taken me a few months, though, because my starting weight was 150.

I'm using that method. I usually try to have at least a 500 calorie deficit, but sometimes it's more. It's a bit less some days, too. I know what you mean about seeing it go low - I hate that, too. You have to remember that as long as you're eating at any kind of deficit, you will lose weight. I'm set at lightly active but…

I'm 24. I'm 5'1" and started at 150 pounds - I'm now at 138 and working toward 120.

I eat at a calorie deficit and I go to the gym 3-4 times per week & that's it. I've lost about 12 pounds so far & only have 18 more til my goal weight - which may change, I'm not sure. I'm happy with how things are going for me. I haven't cut anything out of my diet, I'm focusing more on portion size. I think working out…

Same here! Our taxes are higher, but we don't have to worry about this kind of stuff.

Those scenes are incredibly brutal.. I had an extremely hard time watching them. I had to look away and it almost brought me to tears, that's how bad it was! I'd ff if I were to watch the movie ever again. Hollywood movies propagate sexism. Things were kind of progressive for women in the 20s, but haven't been quite the…

Yup. Hollywood took the character of Lisbeth and sexualized her. Why did she ask permission to kill that guy? That seemed out of place to me.. she needed permission from a guy. Also, what was with her and the daniel craig character hooking up.. and so soon after she'd been brutally raped? Made no sense at all. I'd also…

I always have a deficit, it just changes. The only time I even go near maintenance is holidays or whatever. Today, I was near maintenance and it just weighs on my mind, that's all. I know I worked out.. I trust my HRM, but I guess it's just always on my mind.

I haven't seen the Swedish version, but I did go and see the American one.. also haven't read the book. It was a good movie, but extremely sexist and, at times, disturbing.

Doesn't look like I gained anything.

HOW? I wish I could burn that many! I'm happy that I went to the gym today.

I might try to log anyway, but I'm still going to eat the candy and stuff that my wife bought for me. :D we're not having a huge dinner, but we are having rotisserie chicken and stuffing etc.. dunno how bad the damage will be, but the sodium will probably be the worst part. I want to enjoy the holiday, but I know I'll be…

The way they're doing it in Oregon is perfect. why should someone have to suffer when they KNOW they're going to die? Let them die pain free.. and nobody is KILLING them. They do it on their own and acknowledge exactly what will happen when they drink the mixture or take the pills. I wish it were legal here.

I see this thing at the store all the time called "no salt".. I haven't tried it, but it looks the same. I guess it's just fake salt?

Seems like the situation is entirely different than in Canada. I think many of the problems people are mentioning here are more specific to the US. There are definitely people who abuse welfare here, too.. but you can't just sit on your *kitten* collecting welfare forever. At some point, you are required to go on job…

It may be alive, but it's certainly not human.

Most of the people who claim people are abusing welfare have probably never been on welfare. Most people don't abuse it.. and hate having to be on it, because you hardly get enough money to pay your rent. Actually, when I was on welfare some years ago, they didn't even give enough for rent, so I don't know how, exactly,…

Although most, or a lot, of women work outside the home now, they are still expected to take care of the children, clean the house, etc. This is what we are taught by society and it is reinforced through media all the time. From a young age, girls are taught to take care of babies and cook/clean. They're given baby doll…

to the person who said that^ .. please do not relate pedophilia to strippers, porn, gay people, etc. Man, it drives me insane when people do that because it's 100% ridiculous and false.

The problem is that women are the ones being told to "be careful not to get raped" when instead, men should be told not to rape anyone.. and that if you see a woman alone, leave her alone. if a woman is drunk, don't take advantage of her, etc.

It's fine if people believe there was a dude named Jesus that walked around and people followed him around blah blah, but I find it entirely ridiculous to believe that he actually "healed" anyone or was the son of any "god". If he were real, he was just a guy telling stories that some people happened to believe.. because…

I guess just fast food cause of the sodium, mostly.. and it's also not worth all the calories. Other than that, I eat what I want as long as it fits into my diary.
