Someone's sense of humor isn't on today, clearly!

"Many reputable doctors question if the 500-calorie-a-day diet used with HCG is the real reason for extreme weight loss, but Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of The Dr. Oz Show, says new data shows it's more than that. "I am feeling more comfortable," he said. "I do feel there's still a lot we have to learn about why it works, but I've…

Haha. This, or alternatively, "This poor dude has to get his jollies off somehow, cuz he sure as hell isn't getting laid!!" And then my thoughts drift to how wonderful my boyfriend is in bed. Bad mood vanished! :wink:

Since my boyfriend is unemployed, I get to drive his car. It's just a Ford Focus but it is still way better than my busted Chrysler van.

I know this probably isn't what you want to hear, and for that I apologize in advance. But it's the truth, because I came from a spot almost identical to yours. I still struggle with wanting to keep that over-full feeling, I absolutely hate being hungry. But you have to want it BAD. You have to be FED UP with your current…

Hahahaha! This was definitely how we encouraged our friends to help us move, cuz we had a pool table that needed to come up out of the basement! Those slate boards are f@$#in heavy.

I worked at a crappy hotel for a whopping 2 months one summer, and a big reason was because I discovered my boss was literally hiding things during corporate inspections-- including things like the mold in the laundry area and the constantly re-frozen and re-thawed pitiful breakfast selections-- but mainly, the fact that…

:laugh: Best response!

Ohhhhh, THAT show!! Haha I remember seeing one or two episodes of that, now, but I didn't recognize the name! Good stuff.

^All of these are great too!

I loved all those Disney tapes that would have 3-5 cartoon shorts on each one. Also: Pinky & The Brain Animaniacs Looney Tunes (and that weird one where they were all kids? Tiny Toon Adventures?) Captain Planet Gargoyles Batman Doug

I agree with you, OP, it's quite liberating to throw out a bunch of junk when you move. Worst part is easily cleaning-- floors, windows, anywhere that dust and grime has collected. Cleaning carpets are a nightmare. Also, moving with any pets just makes the process 50x more complicated. Best part is getting everything set…

Well you didn't post your height, but I'm gonna say... 155? ETA: Also -- damn gurl, you look fine :wink:

5'9" (or just slightly under it) -- Too lazy to change my ticker so don't look too closely at it! :P Today: And this is when I was approaching my highest weight ever -- this pic is from 2008:

This is by far the best gif I have seen today :laugh:

I swore off fast food until Memorial Day Weekend, but today I injured myself rollerblading and my boyfriend offered to go pick me up a gyro sandwich and fries from a local mediterranean restaurant we both love as comfort food... I just couldn't say no!!

When I used to work at a popular ethnic grocery store in my area, there was this sweet young Indian lady who expressed compliments frequently, but in strange ways. I worked there for 6 months, then took a break for school and came back about a year later. I had lost about 30 lbs since last seeing her. She beamed at me and…

Get off the soapbox, dude. There are excuses, and then there are legitimate reasons for becoming overweight. The two are blended often, to be sure, but you don't get to dictate that EVERY reason people give is an excuse. I was fat already at age 18 when my mother died, but dealing with her death and being away at college…

Well, if we had nationalized healthcare instead of paying out the butt for private companies who can charge as much as they please (especially when it comes to pharmaceuticals), this might not be the case...

Every single post I have seen from you on this thread has been aggressive, extremely biased, and rude. You are "victimizing" yourself baselessly, tastelessly, and shamelessly. Grow up, please.

You must be super flexible to get your crotch that high up... oh, wait, you mean an ACTUAL hair dryer? Must be a fancy gym; when we used to go to the YMCA I'd just bend over below the hand-dryers. :laugh:

I shower when I feel dirty. This doesn't always correspond to being stinky-- I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve in that department anyway (lotions, perfumes, etc) from my pot-smoking days :tongue: and if you couldn't smell the MJ on me you couldn't smell my B.O. either! My hair doesn't really look much different the day…

They look cold to me!

I spent a while on www.freerice.com (I also gave a persuasive speech on it today, so perhaps more people will use it :smile: )

Those days happen to the best of us. When I'm crabby and it's not my TOM, it generally means I'm lacking protein for the day. :laugh:

Ohhhh the irony. Shaming goes both ways, dear, and if you're blind to how thin people are shamed and oppressed-- and yes, how being thin DOES sometimes interfere with medical procedures and job acceptance (ie any job requiring intense manual labor)-- then you are just being ignorant, I'm sorry. No matter who you are or…

Whoa, settle down there. I specifically said I'm not in favor of fat-shaming. I do not find it to be effective in doing anything except inciting outrage. I was merely pointing out that in the angry post I quoted (and he didn't even read the article linked by the OP), that all of his "solutions" already exist, which begs…

Aaaaand another one who's part of the problem. Your body is your responsibility and your business, and ONLY your responsibility and your business. Your friends and loved ones may be able to sway your opinion, but at the end of the day you make your own choices and that is YOUR right. I am not for the "fat acceptance"…
