Re-Gaining Most of the Weight
Hi everyone! I haven't posted here in a while but figured I could use some support, mainly from those who have gained back a large portion of the weight they have lost. I am looking mostly just for encouragement or to hear from people who have had success after their setback. Earlier this year I lost 50 pounds in only a…

Diet to prevent acid reflux?
When I say "diet" I don't mean limiting calories, I mean what foods are good for preventing acid reflux? Or, which foods should I avoid to prevent it? Lately mine has gotten so bad it feels like my throat is burning all the time. Not horribly, but enough to notice. I googled some stuff online and most of it is linked to…

Guys, do you like it when the woman makes the first move?
Just as the title states. And by "first move," I mean, asking you to hang out/go out. And women (if you want to play, too!): Have you ever made the first move? And how did you go about it?

Out-of-state student getting in-state tuition?

Could "natural" sugars be keeping me overweight?
I don't eat processed foods or "fake" sugary foods anymore (cookies, boxed brownies, candy, etc.) but I've replaced those sugary things with natural sugars, like from fruit or maple syrup. I don't eat a lot of each per day (1 tablespoon of pure MS in my oatmeal, and usually 1 cup berries in a smoothie, sliced strawberries…

Juice extractor v. Juicer
I would like to start juicing, and I'm just wondering if there's a difference between the two machines? I read this and wondered if its accurate: A juice extractor just removes the juice from the food item and leaves the outer rind including the pulp. A juicer pulls out the juice by shredding the flesh of the food item…
