FDA reports at least 5 deaths from gastric balloons. A link to a CNN article.
Just saw this today and decided to share. Not so much because I want to scare anyone, but because it can be hard to find out side effects and issues when the companies PR people are so good at flooding Google with positive reviews and articles. 5 deaths reported while using weight loss balloon treatment, FDA says…

Stupid popcorn weights!
Why can't I find a gram measurment on any popcorn? The cup/oz size doesn't work right, because popcorn is so light and has weird shapes! Even ONLINE it's always measured in size instead of weight!

We are NOT ready for this!
My 7 year old daughter just showed me her hairy pits (and stuff!) How do you explain puberty to a SEVEN year old? Sure, I'm very open, and explain things as she asks, but there is no way she is mentally or emotionally ready to deal with what's coming. She wasn't supposed to deal with this for at least another couple of…

Wasist cincher/corset
I'm thinking about trying one of these or a posture support bra to help train my back to be a little straiter. (Not for weight loss, technically) Anyone have experience with theae, do they actually help or do they make the musvles even weaker. Does the pressure upset your stomach? Can you move and do everyday normal…

Dumb question- where do I use measuring tape?
Is there any specific techniques about exactly where to place, or how to measure properly without help? Will I get better results with a helper? Better meaning more accurate, of course, not necessarily nicer.

Smelling food makes you gain weight?
Well just anecdotally, my Mom's as heavy as me and she lost her sense of smell in her very early teens. Of course it's also the same time she had a goiter removed and not long after was diagnosed with hypothyroidism.…

Just moved down to 1200, probably won't last...
I wanted to try and lose a bit more over summer, since my job involves chasing preschoolers around, but somehow I think this isn't going to work. Even with exercise calories added back, I'm feeling lousy at 1200. Oh well. Maybe I'll put it back up, and see if I can swim a bit longer instead...

Ugh. Stomach full but growling
Stupid stomach can't tell the difference between empty and full, so it's growling like I haven't eaten in days, even though I just got back from a friggin pizza party! It's always been like that, whenever I get a bug or something where a normal person loses thier appetite, I feel like I'm starving to death. Even though I…

Just got my kitchen scale. ROFL!! I was SO off!
No wonder I wasn't losing anything! I measured out morning smoothie, exactly as I'd been estimating (using a measuring cup). It came to about HALF of what I have been making!

Cream of wheat/chia in smoothie question
If I am planning on adding cream of wheat or chia seeds to make a smoothie more filling for breakfast, should I be soaking them first? I don't want to add hot cereal to a frozen drink, but should I prepare it overnight instead, or will it be just as effective mixed in with the obviously already wet drink?

I am so confused!
Why does logging an excercise session erase my progress from walking? I will have a few thoussnd steps and several extra calories to use, and then I log a yoga session or rowing time and suddenly I have way fewer extra calories to use. I don't get it. I'm not planning on using them to binge eat, but seriously sucks to work…
