The Lounge	Valentine's Day Gift Exchange	Jan 30 2009 23:39 (UTC)	1
Wow thanks for all the enthusiasm. I think I'll go somewhere, where I'm actually appreciated. It looks like all people care about is eating disorders and "am I eating enough, I eat 800 cals a day" SEE YA
The Lounge	I just have to tell someone!!!!	Oct 21 2008 22:17 (UTC)	11
Yay congrats. I had a job like that. It seemed like the best job in the world and then it turned out to be crap. Just remember not everything is as it seems

The Lounge	hair, to go blond or brown	Aug 19 2008 11:32 (UTC)	4
I started off a very light blonde, then over the years my hair went a darker blonde, then brown. I would love to go back to blonde, but I think darker suits me better, not too dark though as I am very pale. I used to want my hair red like Claire Danes on My So Called Life, but never dared.

The Lounge	weird pet-peeves.	Aug 17 2008 21:12 (UTC)	40
The way people say "like" all the time. (I like ate too much today, can you like just shut up) Pouting People who tell me I should be married with kids at my age. Spitting People who eat with their mouth open/ or make a noise when they eat American actors/actresses trying to sound British People who smoke at the bus stop and blow the smoke in my face Smokers who moan because they're not allowed to smoke in public places People who tell me I shouldn't be scared of flying, I'm more likely to have an accident crossing the road or in a car. Burping
Foods	Would you rather...	Aug 17 2008 19:45 (UTC)	1,303
Never tried either, but Duck egg sounds better Cooked salmon or raw salmon?
Foods	Fat in grilled food	Aug 16 2008 15:41 (UTC)	5
I think the amount lost in cooking wouldn't make that much difference. I would just log the burger as it is. You can never get the exact amount. I mean you could do that with every bit of food you eat, but it may become a bit obsessive.
The Lounge	Anyone fascinated by dreams and want to discuss?	Aug 14 2008 22:14 (UTC)	13
Have you ever actually known you're dreaming? I have. I tell myself I'm dreaming, but still don't wake up
The Lounge	Anyone fascinated by dreams and want to discuss?	Aug 14 2008 21:57 (UTC)	16
Supposedly if you die in your dream you actually die. So obviously that's not true. I had a dream once that creatures were biting my feet and i could feel the pain. When I woke up I had pins and needles in my foot. So you can still feel things in your sleep.
Health & Support	If you do not get to REM is it really sleep?	Aug 14 2008 14:13 (UTC)	15
I'm not a sleep doctor, but I do know that some sleep is better than no sleep. Obviously getting a long sleep over a 5-7 hours would be better. When I was working shifts my sleep pattern was all over the place, but most of the time when I got a lot of sleep I felt more tired in the morning, than when I didn't get much sleep.
Calorie Count	Calorie Coach?	Aug 14 2008 13:52 (UTC)	3
I think that everyday that you don't log a loss in weight it is obviously going to take longer. The next time you log a weight loss (or just try it as an example, you can always delete it afterwards) the date will change.
Foods	do YOU drink any of your calories?	Aug 14 2008 13:48 (UTC)	41
I only drink plain old black coffee & tea, water or skimmed milk, the milk I drink is only 50cals for 150grams. I count it all in my calories. If I drink alcohol I count that aswell.

The olympics don't interest me at all. And the next one's here in the Uk, I can only imagine how much more tax we'll have to pay to cover that. I think it's a total waste of money.
Calorie Count	Calories Burned converted to pounds lost	Aug 11 2008 17:39 (UTC)	5
Every 3500 cals equals 1lb. So you need a 500 cal deficit every day to loose a pound.

Weight Loss	For all you people who sleep late...	Aug 11 2008 13:36 (UTC)	1
I usually go to bed late and get up late, so I find myself hungry later in the evening and end up eating late. I just don't eat after midnight as that's the start of a new day on your burn meter.

I just made a sweet potato salad. I microwaved the potato, then peeled it and chopped it into cubes. I then added it to a salad of spinach, tomato, onion, celery and a light mayo dressing I made myself. Delicious & you can have any kind of salad you want & even add meat to it aswell.
