I went online and read reviews before buying mine. I settled on the Eatsmart Precision Plus Digital Bathroom Scale with Ultra Wide Platform and Step-on Technology, which weighs up to 440-Pounds. It had the best reviews, and was only about $35 on Amazon. It's very consistent, and has a light-up face, so I can even use it in…

Actually, the opposite would be true. Generating heat burns more calories, so doing things that will prevent your body from cooling off properly would make it worse, it seems to me. However, if you drink cold beverages or take cold showers, your body has to heat things back up to maintain normal body temperature and…

I think buying lottery tickets is a much more positive way to look at it than "something crazy is going to happen to me on this day"...

Just a point of clarification: Fat Sarah is not me fat. Fat Sarah is what I named the insidious voice in my head I've given control to all these years. The one that tells me it's okay to sneak junk food because no one will know. The one that tells me I'm worthless and ugly, and all those bad things. Fat Sarah is my evil…

Five things I like about me: 1) I can see the good in EVERYONE 2) I can nearly always see both sides of an argument 3) I still know how to play and be silly, even though I am a grown up :) 4) I'm a total geek, and I love it! 5) I have an amazing capacity to forgive (it springs from number 1, lol)

There are results, just not the ones you're looking for. Just because the scale hasn't budged doesn't mean nothing has changed. If you're making wise food choices and exercising, then your body is becoming healthier even when that doesn't translate to changed weight. Are you drinking enough water? Also, you may find it…

I would guess that these are people who don't have a strong support base at home, but really need to feel like there's someone in their corner. While it's not my approach, I applaud their courage to ask directly for what they want.

Other than stepping back and saying, "Excuse me, please." or something along those lines, I can't tell you how to stop it, but yes, you will get in trouble for slapping them. Perhaps you could try telling them you don't like being touched? As a teen, I was in a homebound education program for a while, and the teacher…

They CAN be trained!

Not me. Mine's been worse! I was told it's from the estrogen that's stored in fat being released into my blood stream as I lose weight and should get better when I stop losing. Ugh. It was bad enough already (narcotics for the pain bad)!

Without seeing before and after pictures, I can't tell you whether or not it's all in your head that you look the same. Are you exercising? Toning exercising and aerobics will help improve your fat to muscle ratio and help you look better at the same weight...

Do they have a name besides "back dimples"? That's what I always called them...

I'm so jealous of those people who are claiming their fingers! I'm so wanting to get back into my wedding rings. I used to wear a six, and now my eights are too small :grumble: I first saw it just under my knees, right at the top of my shin bones. There's a hollow there that wasn't before. I'm also looking forward to my…

You're welcome! I love the story, too! I'm glad it could help you :happy:

Okay, this is an oldie, but I've been thinking I might need to do it again. Several years ago, after my divorce, I was having a lot of issues. I'd spent years subordinating my personality, trying to be the person my husband told me he wanted me to be. Of course, it never worked. I was miserable, needy, etc. So after my…

Okay. I know this has been said, but it is not possible to over-emphasize it: make SURE she gets enough protein. This is the biggest problem with kids giving up meat...and if she's going vegan, then that means no dairy or eggs, either, which makes it even harder. Even your average supermarket now carries stuff like soy…

You don't have to eat them back the same day, after burning them. You could estimate what your workout is going to be and eat them ahead of time, or add it to the next day's calorie allowance instead. Either way is not going to gum things up, though the first will be less accurate and the second harder to track (at least…

Thanks! My daughter loves the idea of enchiladas, but never did like the corn tortillas. This'll fix that problem!

If I weigh myself fewer than three times in a day, it's weird. I think it helps me take the small, temporary gains less seriously to see how much fluctuation there actually is. At least, that's what I tell myself. Also, when it is going the wrong way, I remind myself that even if the number isn't shrinking, eating better…

Bring Up My Post It puts in on the list that will be pulled up if you click on the "My Topics" tabs, so you can refer back to it easier (basically, it links you to it when you haven't got anything to say).

I discovered women can be just as gross as I always thought only men were during my Navy days. Girls would use the head attached to our berthing, and pee all over the floor because they wouldn't sit on the seat...but it would be clean enough to sit on if THEY weren't peeing on it. Found a turd in the shower stall once.…

I love to knit! I carry my project in my purse these days, so I can knit whenever I'm stuck in a waiting room! I probably look pretty silly pulling half a hat out of my purse all over the place, but I enjoy it.

I LOVE pumpkin cheesecake, but I haven't tried it with this recipe yet. I'd probably add about 1/4 c to start with, and some cinnamon and nutmeg for flavor...if you try it before I do, let me know how it turns out!

Because I only use the whites, that's what I buy: a quart-sized carton of whites only. An egg white is about 1 Tbsp, so just use three egg whites (or two eggs and add some fat & calories).

I make this all the time! We call it fauxtatoes :)

I'm afraid I can't answer that question. I don't really monitor my sodium intake, and it didn't list it when I input the recipe on here (probably because I DON'T monitor it). Sorry. I guess you'd just have to look at the sodium in each of the ingredients.

Sorry. I forgot to specify the non-fat variety. It is available in most American supermarkets.

I don't know how much help this is, but for me, the more I drink it, the more I want it. I start out working hard just to get six glasses in a day, and soon I'm downing three quarts most days without a thought--sometimes more. Also, you may not need a whole 8 glasses a day. 1/2 ounce per pound of body weight is plenty for…

Don't give up. Something's happening, you're just not seeing it yet. First of all, with all that exercise, there's a shift towards health going on. The fact that you didn't gain any during your time is an indicator that things are working, since it's normal to bloat. I usually add several pounds that week, just from water…
