I'm with you on that. I've quit gyms due to the locker room density and trollish behavior. It's about as bad as when: 1. There is a row of 20 machines and a person (usually same gendered) gets on the machine NEXT to you. 2. You're in the men's room, row of 10 urinals, and same thing, dude slides in next to you. 3. Naked…

10...of course. Great avatar pic!

9. Good attributes.

How the Democratic Party of America would deal with this issue.... Millionaire and welfare mom are both caught speeding by the same cop on the same road going the same speed. New "fairness rules" imposed by the leftist dictatorship brought about by the election of 2012 are going to change society in their own image.…

I limit to an absolute of 1800 calories, if I'm not exercising that day, I have to go lower as my goal is 1710. But I may only eat back 1-200 of these calories.

My understanding it that it's different for different people. Different people hit starvation at different times and in different situations. But if your calories are above 1200 BEFORE counting exercise, AND at least 100 grams of carbs...that's the yardstick I follow based on some advice I'd received. There are differing…

Could try to make dinner smaller, then snack later bigger, or divide up your dinner into 2 parts. Or decent bar or shake after workout, then delay dinner by a hour or two later than normal.

Fat has a function in diet....so you need some amount of it. Carbs have a function in diet...they provide the energies, the more complex the better. Fiber is part of this group. Protein has a function in building muscle and other assorted life functions. The best diet....a balance of all three....yes, keeping fats to a…

I hit plateaus everytime I take pounds off. I lose 4-5 pounds, then I hold steady for 2-3 days, or even go up a 1-2 pounds, then drop suddenly. For me it seems to be the water I'm releasing..like yesterday I lost 3 pounds over the previous day, but I was in the bathroom more than usual. We'll see if I spike up tonight, or…

There are several ways, one using a tape measure, and another using cheap plastic calipers. They are all over the Internet. The best tape measure is that which you can bring around ,hook it into a recepticle and it will auto close firmly around you. I bought my calipers for under $5 on that website that sounds like a river…

I swear by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for the sake of mine. It's the essence of my life.

BMI is STRICTLY a function of height and weight. There is no other way to obtain it. Unless your weight went up by 5%, your BMI can't go up by 5%. I'd question this machine, maybe it's not BMI it's measuring (how can it, unless it's a scale)?

The equation works. It just works in different ways for different people. The key is understanding it and being precise with food and exercise recording. Calories eating minus calories burned through life functions and exercise must equal net calories. A deficit in net calories must result in weight loss. Water intake…

Peanut butter is a truly evil food. I see posters eating it while on diet. It probably represents 1/3 of my weight gain. I don't eat it any more. For 2 tablespoons to be 190 calories, and mostly fat at that, is just something I cannot do.

At what can be up to 100 calories an OUNCE....it's something I just can't afford to do, except in extreme moderation. Baileys....even more per ounce, can no longer do an 8 ounce drink like that. I opened a bottle of sparkling wine, fake champagne, it it was a very high figure as well. Beer, a little better, but no…

1. plan ALL meals, calorie count ahead of eating 2. remove pizza and cookies from view...treat them as rewards for making goals 3. ensure a good mix of protein and fiber in diet 4. when you miss calorie range, exercise more to close deficit. 5. look in the mirror...realize you can be your own worst diet enemy

I tried the Vitatops muffin tops 80-100 calories off of kgbdeals for 50% off. Cranberry bran and double chocolate are my favorites so far. Need to order another box until my local grocery can get them in.

But George....as I lost weight my calorie deficit started shrinking rapidly.....losing about 10-20 calories of margin a week.

You have to plan your meals, you can enter them in advance that morning, so you know what it will work out to be calorie wise. Then make adjustments. It would be helpful if you told us what your diet consisted of, as there are likely alternatives. Instead of turkey sausage, I went to Boca soy burgers with egg white for…

Eat on a schedule. I take about 1000 calories to work with me, including breakfast and lunch, and I eat it over the course of the day, one serving at a time. Carrots, fruit, zone bars, maybe some cheese or lean meat and protein shake mix.

Getting started is the worst part.... Ok, McDonalds has PLENTY of food items which are perfectly healthy and compatible with weight loss. Ok, so you have to ditch the bread usually....no FRIES.... After 3-4 weeks.....it will be habit and you probably won't want the burgers anymore, or the freshly cooked fries, or those…

If it wasn't spelled out in the decree/agreement, and it it's not defined in State Law (check there also), then you'll have to ask the court how to interpret the instructions. Obviously there's not agreement. Either of you may be right, depends on the way you see it. Does it spell out FRIDAY as a visitation day? And does…

Create a personal exercise under My Exercises.

I had one removed about 3 years ago, from the base of my neck over my spine. It was 8cm in size, still squishy when pressed on hard but starting to grow to large proportions to the point where I would look hunched over. I had it removed, It was general surgery, not the doctor's office simple cut out of your skin. The worry…

You would have to consult the policies of the individual hotel. I highly doubt State laws govern this for the most part. However, the expedient solution is for the adult who is in the area to book the room.

It took me a month and a half to actually lose inches around my midsection, it's as if it's the last to let go, I was losing weight from everywhere else.

Whattttt!!!!!!!!! You mean I've been dropping major change there for NOTHING? That would be the only reason why I'd ever buy a $4.50 coffee!!!!!

To have a negative net everyday would be a dream of mine.....I could probably get there if I ellipticaled 2 1/2 hours a day, every day. I just ensure I eat a fair amount to provide a minimal amount of "new fuel" of no less than 1500 calories, with at least 100 grams of carbs. And where I end up, I end up. I use my exercise…

Long live the Republic! Texas has seen worse droughts. There is water deep in the acquirers, so...it's not like we're all going to die off. So I can't water the grass, I was tired of mowing anyway for the satisfaction of my Marxist Homeowner's Association -- full of their busybodies.
