Add French Fries to my list. I don't even like them, but they came with the combo so...

Social pressures are all around, even with and especially the people we're closest to. While it is a good idea to try to encourage one another, it's important to keep in mind a word Aretha Franklin taught me by spelling it out called 'Respect'. Each person has one body and for good reason. We're the ones in charge of it,…

This is a good point.

I've done this too. Some things that may help: 1.) Eat 2 slices, wait an hour. If you're still hungry for another slice or two, perhaps you may need it (and your calorie goal has reaffirmed that you did need it). 2.) Drop the guilt. It serves no purpose other than causing unnecessary stress and heart disease. The past is…

I would agree that usually it's the food to blame moreso than the exercise.

Just some things to try. Only count 1/2 of your exercise calories burned routine if you're tracking that here, or dropping the calorie count by 200 per day. Sometimes the calorie tracking is off either by the numbers found on the site or we think we've tracked everything but are missing some details. Do you have 'way over'…

I'm good for a 2-egg omelet as well with salt, pepper, a little cheddar cheese, bacon bits, parsley, and a pinch of garlic. It's usually a dinner but a low calorie one, about 300 calories.

I'm so glad you got this reference :-D

There are only two downsides I see for a banana. First, compared to other fruits they're a little higher on calories so if you only have 60 left for the day, it'd be better to go with a clementine orange. Second is the aftertaste. I need coffee to get rid of that post-banana flavor. Otherwise, it's a great option.

Great quote, Zig Ziglar, http://74.86.69.225/quote/34850.html

An American-style kilted sausage, but in corn meal and fried:

"Common hot dog ingredients include: Meat trimmings and fat Flavorings, such as salt, garlic, and paprika Preservatives (cure) - typically sodium erythorbate and sodium nitrite" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_dog Did that work? How about...

Epic, I don't think I could cap that one, but who'd want to stem that pun anyway?

Badgers

Silk boxers say, "The air conditioning is on and I'm not going to do any work today."

It's not about confidence, it's about comfort. I vote boxers, but if I had a utilikilt, I'd vote for that:

I don't know, this sounds more plausible than the other posts here.

Myths: Big-Boned Drink water, you'll lose more weight Don't eat carbs Eat a big breakfast It's easier for men to lose weight Genetic disposition determines weight

Just one? I have many. My short attention span being the most annoying. One minute I'm doing one thing and then th

Frame and put this 'Understatement of the Year' on the wall kids.

No doubt that would get his attention.

Maybe it's a perception of value. I don't value my clothes that much, so I had to try a little harder to understand the necessity when my wife needs clothes. I've been wearing the same button down shirts for the past 5+ years and for a guy, that's okay, so my money goes into more useless crap (games especially) because I…

This or something equivalent like 1 square of a Ghiradelli Chocolate bar.

About forty pounds ago (sixty being my highest) I'd split my khaki pants at work when I went to pick something up. Fortunately I was the only one to notice, went home, changed and came back. I'm close to goal and I must say that it's nice not having to be so concerned/worried about myself. The stress relief is worth it.

If someone pushed me away because of my weight, I would be sad.

Ya, what Acg said :-D. Regarding water, remember that water comes in various forms (coffee, tea, monster) and is in a lot of foods as well (like citrus fruits). The worry is more of dehydration which you can determine by urine color. If it's a dark yellow, you're likely dehydrated. Clear, you're good. Too much water can…

Although I've heard that "it depends with what kind of sick", I found I have a faster recovery time with rest, fluids and a good amount of food because whenever I stress my immune system with activity, dehydration, and hunger it seems like the sickness drags on. The body needs an arsenal of nutrients to fight illness and…

I know targeting areas seems all the rage for today's exercises, but I think our bodies choose the areas to lose from and go in the sequence it plans. As much as our eyes focus on one area, I think going after the big picture (pun intended) is less frustrating. In the end (second pun intended), it'll all balances out…

As a biochemist, I agree.

There are a lot of sweets that have real sugar and not a lot of calories. The problem is when it's incorporated in bread products that the calorie count goes way high like cinnamon rolls or cake. Did you know one Lindt Chocolate Truffle is only 79 calories? Buy a whole bag, have one a day: 1 square (and they're a decent…
