You aren't getting enough calories.  Eating 1600 and burning 600 means you have a net of only 1000 calories.  That is so not enough.  Try upping your calories.  Yes, it sounds counter-productive, but it's not.  You will be more satisfied and you will lose weight.

yeah it sucks, but the rules clearly state no knives.  he brought a knife...  the pic on yahoo! news shows the kid holding what looks like a pocket knife that also contains a fork and spoon.

i realize his intent wasn't to hurt any of his classmates, but his parents should have better sense.  it was before columbine and virginia tech that i was in grade school and i wouldn't have taken something like that.

those that enforced the rule had no choice.  i agree that the rules should be changed, but how are the teachers/faculty supposed to know when something is brought for intent to harm or for something less? 

i am starting my third week of p90x today.  i love it and i can already tell a difference with the # of reps that i can do.  i don't feel it's too hard - i feel sore the next day, but not so sore that i can't do anything the next day.

i cannot live without jalapenos, cheese, ranch, or MUSTARD!!  i love yellow mustard on tons of stuff.  i eat it on my burritos with louisiana hot sauce, on buscuits, dip my pizza crust and popcorn in it... i HATE mayo or anything close to it, so it goes on my burgers. mustard goes on my hotdogs, too (no kethcup).

not sure if it's healthy, though.  it has a ton of sodium in it.

I don't smoke, drink soda, drink much alcohol, or buy much fast food so my opinion is probably moot... but I think that these items are not necessary and are free game.  You have the right to choose to pay for one of these items.  As far as poor people being taxed... if they are so poor that taxing cigarettes and such is going to hurt them, they shouldn't be wasting money on those items to begin with.  Not smoking is free.  Tap water is free.  Hangover-free mornings are free.  And it's cheaper to buy food at the grocery store than to eat at a fast food place everyday.

But again, I'm not addicted to anything so I don't care that there are taxes on these items.  I can't say for sure, but if I was, I think that I would still say that sin taxes aren't a bad thing.

if you hover your mouse over foods, there will be a link with the name "new recipe" in the drop down menu.  if you click that, it will take to the site's recipe analyzer.  will figure everything up for you.  sometimes, it will give you a yellow triangle saying it couldn't analyze something.  if you search for that ingredient alone, you can see how the site measures it and that could be the problem.  sometimes it just doesn't recognize the item, but you can use the item number from the address bar.

eg. - http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-splend a-brown-sugar-blend-i101169.  the number for this item is 101169 and could be entered in the recipe as: 1 cup [101169] Splenda/Brown Sugar Blend

hope this helps!!!

edit: if you do have to look up an item, you may want to open a new browser with the CC website.  If you leave the page with your recipe, it will all disappear and you will have to start over!!

i have been puzzled by this same thing!  according to this website, i have a small frame as my wrists are pretty small.  but i have a HUGE ribcage, and if i were to be any smaller than about 135 lbs, i'd start to look sickly.  all of my bones poke out at about 140 lbs.  i'm between 5'7" and 5'8", but i could NEVER be smaller than a size 7.  even with no skin on me, my hips would be too big to fit in anyting smaller.  so i don't feel like i have a small frame at all.

i don't have an ED, but relating songs to everyday life is easy to do... that's what songs are for (besides entertainment). 

and i LOVE the movie go!  "none of that crunchy herbal, rave ****"

I don't know if they are a good idea or not... but I have them, too.  I put them on once a week and look in the mirror.  I get sad that I can't wear them yet, but then I get even more determined to meet my goals for the next week.

Thank you trhawley,

My HRM said moderate, but I didn't feel like I was doing much... My resting heart rate is about 70 and when I walk at a normal pace, it's around 108... I was somewhere between a fast walk and really slow jog when I was at 132... I usually walk 3 miles in 40 mins... so that's about 4.5 mph, right?  CC says I burn about 297 calories at that pace in 40 mins and about 371 in 50 mins... so 542 just seemed out there...

definitely reading.

would you rather have nausea or diarrhea? 

it's one day...  it won't wreck your diet.  eat less calories than usual before the cake/ice cream.  i'd just eat it.

I use Whole Wheat Pancake Mix... if you use 2% milk, it's 200 cals for three 4" pancakes...  Then I top them with sugar free syrup... it's 35 cals a serving versus 210...

if he was nice about it and honest, then i don't think he's a jerk or a prick.  each person has their own tastes.

but in my opinion, those stats sound about normal.

i took my clothes in.  there's a point where they can't be taken in anymore, but until then, i grab my sewing machine and make those jeans smaller!
