| Weight Loss | Keeping secrets... | Jan 05 2009 22:31 (UTC) |

I lied too, for the same reasons as you it seems. It's the same reason I don't fart in front of him, and that certainly doesn't make my relationship of any less quality. I don't feel it's much of a lie at all. You look like what you look like, regardless of how much you actually weigh. If I can tell him that I weighed 120 when I was actually 130, then I congratulate myself on the good body image. It seems to me that your boyfriend is being supportive in his own way and that your weight loss journey is something you're doing for yourself as you should. As Garfield's talking scale once said, your weight is your own business. |

I think regularity can be a pretty good sign. |

Maybe you can find an indoor track? Personally, I like running on tracks more than outdoors, even though I guess you're still not actually going anywhere... |

I'm going to just go ahead and give the usual relativist line: it probably depends on your body. When I gained weight, it was when I was eating one meal a day. When I lost the same weight, it was when I was eating the same number of calories spread out through the day. |

Did you originally reach your goal weight in a healthy way? Your health is more important than not gaining more weight. If you have to gain more but have repaired your metabolism in the process, then so be it. |

1/2 cup is way too much for one day. I don't think more than a tablespoon is recommended daily. |

| Weight Loss | Do I sound healthy?? | Dec 03 2008 00:11 (UTC) |

I don't mean any offense, but what you're saying sounds like excuses. The answer to "do we really need that" should be YES. How would you buy school lunches if you have absolutely no money? Do you never get to go out or do anything either, like go to a movie with friends? Do your parents still do all of your clothes shopping for you? I think you could try some different approaches to getting what you want. Maybe you could approach your parents and ask for a little money by saying that it would be helpful for you to start learning to manage your own money at your age, even if it's just like $5 a week. Or are you allowed to have hobbies? Try a cooking class, make cooking a hobby. If eating healthy is a real priority for you, you'll find a way. |

If it would offend people for you to refuse (which it probably wouldn't though), maybe you can take a small piece home for someone else who isn't watching his/her intake. My mom is constantly bringing food home from office shindigs, and you gotta be pretty quick to the fridge because stuff disappears fast around here. |

I don't understand why you can't buy some groceries yourself, but why don't you try handing your parents a list of groceries you want instead of assuming they'll pick out some stuff for you just because you said you think the cafeteria food is gross? |

| Weight Loss | Have you ever felt like you were the fattest person at the gym? | Dec 02 2008 23:00 (UTC) |

I feel out of place when I'm clearly the least fit person there, usually because I haven't done any consistent exercise for years and just getting to the gym winds me. Size doesn't make a difference, I've seen (and been very jealous of) several people larger than I who just never seem to tire out running at what would be my sprint pace. |

You could try parking as far away as you can (without making yourself late) to get some extra walking in. And maybe walk around during those 10 minute breaks between classes, if you have them, instead of just sitting in the next classroom. |

| Weight Loss | 1200 Calories and Short Women | Dec 02 2008 02:08 (UTC) |

The way I see it, if you've got a deficit and you're not losing weight, you might as well eat your maintenance calories - you won't be losing weight either way. After you've maintained for a while, you could then try dropping your calorie intake again. This worked for me when I hit a plateau, I didn't gain any weight by increasing my intake to a maintenance level and basically started fresh from a new weight when I reduced my intake again. I ate maintenance calories for about a month. |

| Weight Loss | How many calories should I eat!?!?! | Nov 19 2008 02:10 (UTC) |

I'm 5'2, 24, and started at 130 too. I'm at 115 now, and I also ate around 1400 on days that I exercised, though you exercise more than I did. Every body is different though, so I wouldn't be able to say why you're not losing weight. I would suggest that you try to zig zag your calorie intake though. I think what helped me most was that I was drinking a lot of water. I believe my protein intake was higher than yours too, I was doing a 40/30/30 ratio. My opinion would be to just give it more time though. |

Sounds to me like you're bored when you're at home if it's literally the case that you come home and all you want to do is eat. Find something more productive to do than search through your kitchen for food. |

Seems okay calorie-wise but overall, not very healthy. You don't have any vegetables in there, and it looks like you'll get very little protein and not much in the way of whole grains. A little too much junk food, I think. |

| Weight Loss | Non-Calorie Counters Out There? | Nov 18 2008 04:58 (UTC) |
11 |
I don't count anymore either, but that's because I reached my goal weight through counting. I haven't gained any weight since not counting, but I haven't been eating as well as I had when I was counting. I notice I eat a lot more junk now because I don't worry about how many calories it has or whether it fits into my allowance. I also don't eat as often as I used to. Besides the weight I keep off, I'm pretty much back to where I was before I started counting, which is to say in a much unhealthier place. It's not a good thing, but I don't really want to start obsessing over a food log again. |

| Weight Loss | I'm having trouble losing anymore weight. | Jul 07 2008 21:15 (UTC) |

I'm sorry I even opened this thread. The negativity is overwhelming. Anyway, jblarghp, this is what I'm doing: I lost the bulk of the weight that I wanted to lose a few weeks ago, but still want to shed about 5 lbs. So instead of keeping with a lower number of calories, I've gone to maintenance, and am now planning to cut my calories again. I think I've been maintaining for over a month now, which is longer than I had planned, but I'm not in a rush. I didn't gain any weight back, by the way. So now I'm cutting again. In my mind, I'm back to day one when I first started cutting my calories, only starting from a lower weight. Good luck. |

Making forms is best done using tables. Create a table and then use the border function to outline the bottom border of the cell that needs to be typed in. All other borders should be made invisible. Alternatively, use the underline thing, but put the cursor in overwrite mode (by pressing the Insert key on the keyboard). |

Original Post by santonacci: I agree it was naive to think that there would be no repercussions, about as naive as it was for Obama to take his name off the MI ballot. I don't know if you read the bylaws or watched the committee hearing, but there is nothing written either directly or in spirit that says that the sanction for moving the primary is that none of the delegates will be seated. The logical punishment was monetary sanctions, but as we saw, the voters are the ones who took the brunt of the punishment, not the party leaders. Original Post by boobi_trapp: heh, perfectly understandable. Original Post by dbackerfan: Actually, my recollection is different, though I admit I haven't bothered to look into it. I vaguely remember both candidates making statements to the effect that it was wrong to discount the entire FL and MI delegations. Clinton didn't fight as hard as she had recently, but I think she did lay the groundwork to dispute it early on. Original Post by boobi_trapp: Well I think it gives a ring of truth to the rumors that were swilling before - that Clinton is trying to ruin Obama's chances this year so that in 2012, she can run as the I-told-you-so candidate. lol it was funny to watch Fox News this weekend. The Republicans are really having a field day watching the Dem party fall apart before their eyes. |

| Foods | Rice wrapper thingies? | May 30 2008 23:40 (UTC) |

I think that's traditionally Vietnamese. Depends how big the wrapper is. Fitday says calls a small paper (6-3/8") as 19.74 calories, medium (8-5/8") as 46.72 calories, and large (12-3/8") as 55.93 calories. Although my experience with fitday hasn't really made me too confident about its accuracy... |

You could try adding some fruit, like berries. I don't think I'd like it dry. Definitely better with milk. |

| Weight Loss | People Who Don't Count | May 30 2008 23:00 (UTC) |
14 |
I think people who don't count do instinctively know when they've sufficiently supplied their body with calories. I think that people who do count will get the hang of it too. I've never been overweight, but I gained some weight quickly and started counting calories to lose it. After the initial gain, I was neither gaining nor losing by not counting calories. I'm starting to go off counting calories now. Today, I thought I'd have a calorie-dense lunch (fast food) and skip the afternoon snacks (because I wanted a Frosty). I thought I would finish the whole meal - after all, it was about the same size bulk-wise as my usual lunch. But I only ended up eating about half of it, which amounted to the same amount of calories I usually have for lunch. (I logged it after I finished) So I think that, with practice and when you learn to hear what your body is telling you, not counting calories will probably come naturally. |

Sure, but in Florida, the party leaders tried to switch back to Super Tuesday, before the primary was held obviously, but the state legislature refused to allow it to come to a vote. So I don't entirely discount the possibility of more "right wing conspiracy." |

Original Post by santonacci: The rules were set by the Republican state legislature. I think we're in agreement though that it's not the voters fault. And my opinion is that the voters themselves should not be penalized. (Edit: Sorry, I just saw kathygator beat me to that) Original Post by boobi_trapp: Please, people found out about Obama because of his win streak and the media. It's called strategy. Did I even say anything about voters in the caucus states? She's fooling me? I never mentioned popular vote. You're clearly biased against Clinton and taking it out on me for even daring to defend her. But on that subject, if you can find a definitive way of calculating exactly how many people voted for Obama and how many for Clinton in every caucus, then there's the objection scuppered. Clearly, that's not possible, so you ranting about how they "don't count" is irrelevant. They do count, obviously, in delegate count. Her argument is popular vote. As the pundits say, the fact that she CAN move the goal posts further and further back is evidence that this race was not over. |

The point is that it's not the voters fault that the state screwed up the rules that were set by the other party. The Dems can't afford to alienate the VOTERS of two swing states, especially not because of mistakes that weren't the voters' fault. Obama was stupid to take his name off the ballot - the agreement was that they wouldn't campaign there, not they would both take their names off the ballot. And let's not kid ourselves, Florida knew who he was, but Florida is dominated by demographics that typically vote for Clinton. That's like saying we should forget all the states before Obama won the however-many primaries in a row he won after Super Tuesday, because they didn't know him as well as they do now. pfft My opinion: If Obama has the nomination so well wrapped-up, then just allow the delegates to be seated the way she wants. If he doesn't, then this nomination process is so close it's rightfully going to the end. And Obama is all the stronger for it. |

Try this site: http://www.autoaccidentclaims.com You should get a lawyer though. The adjuster will low ball you, and that'll make it hard for the attorney when you do get one. I don't know what state you live in, but in California, the statute of limitations is 2 years. |

So you can log your weight -- which allows you to do the following:
- Plot your weight curve
- Analyze the trend of your weight (see under Recent in the figure above)
- Determine the projected target date (see under Overall in the figure above)
