Nicely done. :smile:

*raises hand* I'm a "low crabber." In fact, I've never eaten crab. That is all.

You say that the person who filed the lawsuit was greedy. But here's the irony of class-action cases: the class doesn't get paid that much. The payout for class members (except the named plaintiff) is about $4 per jar/per person, up to a maximum of $20. The named plaintiff, for her part in being the class representative…

They still sell these things brand new. They've changed a little bit since the '80s, but not much. Here's an example from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Casio-CA53W-Databank-Calculator-Watch/dp/B000GB1R7S/ref=sr_1_2?s=watches&ie=UTF8&qid=1335558499&sr=1-2 Hey, for $15, you can't go wrong! :laugh:

There's no need for you to stop eating chocolate just because you're trying to lose weight. The key is to eat a lot less of it. In fact, eat as much as you want, with two conditions: (1) if you eat it, log it, and (2) make sure that you're not eating so much that you're blowing your calorie goal for the day. In other…

I guess it depends on how much you're eating. And how long you keep it up. If you're eating 1,200 calories a day, burning off 1,000, and you intend to do this indefinitely, you'll hit a wall eventually. You might also be more prone to injury if you're doing it day after day and never take a day off. So the answer to your…

You've got great taste in guitarists. Except for Dimebag Darrell, I don't get that one. But Buckethead, Malmsteen, and Segovia are all titans. :smile:

Keith f**king Richards! ETA: Not sure why my picture wouldn't load. Damn.

"I Dig a Pony" - The Beatles

^^^^ Not cool, dude! Not cool at all .... :grumble:

I just love super-ironic posts.

You've lost about 150 lbs. (73 kg), so I consider you the expert on this topic! If you say it's a waste, it's a waste! :smile:

I do it all the time. It helps plan your calories for the day! :smile:

Right. We made ourselves fat. McDonalds didn't do it. It's like blaming Anheuser-Busch for one's alcoholism. It's just a way to avoid taking responsibility for one's own actions.

Which muscle is the "lady muscle," and why don't people like it?

^^^^^This. From what I've read lately, there's no scientific evience that eating close to bedtime makes it harder to lose weight.

Sounds like allergies to me. I recently quit smoking, and I never had the problem you describe. You say you're working out 2-3 hours a day and I assume that you're probably eating less than you did before (since, apparently, you're trying to lose weight). Is it possible that you're completely run down and you've caught a…

That's 1.5 lbs/week. You're doing great, as far as I'm concerned!

Pickles. Yes, I know they have a lot of sodium; I get it. But they're 0 calories and taste SOOOOOOOO good. :smile:

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if these numbers are accurate. I have a BodyMedia Fit armband, which tells me how many calories I burn each day. I'm 6'0" and 201 lbs., and just sitting at my desk and no exercise, I burn about 2,700 per day on average. Because you are much taller than me and weigh 120 lbs. more, your…

Fiber isn't like sodium or something similar that, if taken in larger-than-recommended dosages, can really hurt you. Besides, keep in mind that the "fiber alotment" that you're referring to is just a recommendation. It's not an OMG-if-I-go-over-that-number-I'm-really-in-trouble kind of thing. :smile:

In order "gain" four pounds in four days, you would need to eat 14,000 calories (3,500 x 4) over above your total daily energy expenditure for those four days, which you clearly haven't done. So don't stress about it. As others have suggested, it's probably just fluid retention.

You act like this is all a big surprise to you. Come on, you knew you were going to get shredded by the men on this forum, right? I mean, seriously, you didn't see that coming? :noway:

Time is definitely an issue. Another reason I like instant: the cleanup sure is easier! :laugh:

Me too. Try this sometime: On Yahoo!, they allow readers to post comments after news articles or whatever. Go on there and write a bunch of snarky replies to the moronic comments. It'll make you feel better. :laugh:

Why is French-press coffee healthier than drip? Personally, I love a good instant coffee. No, I'm not kidding. Instant can be really good, and you can make it exactly the way you want it every time.

I don't do this, and no, I'm not sure why he's doing this. Perhaps he's insecure? My wife's a little hottie, and probably gets hit on every day of her life. It doesn't bother me one bit. She's not going anywhere and neither am I. And by the way, your husband is wrong when he says that all a man ever thinks about is getting…

I'm in!
