i concur surek! it is a smidge tedious to have to go back and re-select each item - a copy/paste function would be lovely.

nothing added, nothing but peanut butter - so similar to all natural PB?

LOL oh my i have been reading through these giggling like mad..

ok, i hate the creepy old men who leer - and the people strolling on the treadmills, just taking up space. and it is a supreme pet peeve when someone tries to engage me in conversation while i am running. um hello - i have these little earphones in my ears to tune you and everyone else out! ..or maybe i'm just not that good at multi-tasking. and i hate the people who just chill on the weight machines while i'm clearly waiting for that exact machine.

embarrassing: i've definitely stumbled and almost slammed my face into the treadmill. i've definitely sent my iPod flying. and it's so nice to hear that the nipping problem happened to someone else! haha - that is super embarrassing and i hate it when that happens!

ah yes - and that damn gaseous problem occasionally plagues me too! 

i completely empathize -- it's all mental, i know this, but i can't help but feel a slight twinge of guilt, you know?

but, it's getting better because i'm seeing that i am indeed able to maintain with my caloric intake :)

p.s. i was the same as you! until i found this website and actually educated myself about calories - i thought the only way to lose weight was by severely limiting the calories i was taking in *i.e. keeping daily intake below 1000 along with exercising vigorously every day* i can't begin to express how much better i feel knowing that i don't need to do this to myself.  :)

this website has been such a huge help.

You need better drunken friends.

Most of the time when we would get drunk, a drunken game of football, ultimate frisbee, or some other game we would make up (Drunken Olympics anyone?) would ultimately burn off most of the calories we would consume.

Also put the school gym to use!

drunk kickball! yesss! :D

 Also, I"m confused, as I did see a post where they were stating that children should have MORE calories because their bodies are growing/developing still.

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

well, i am no mother nor doctor for sure (!!) - but you stated above that your daughter is 12, yes? i stopped growing vertically at age 11- i'm not sure if that's maybe been your daughter's case..? and i'm also not sure whether or not this matters in the above highlighted statement - but something to consider, perhaps?

mmm..now i want some fat free vanilla frozen yogurt + granola..

mean people suck.

whatever happened to the old adage if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all..

more humans should generally adopt this philosophy.

incidentally..yes yes i have been conscious of weight and all that jazz since entering the public school system. hmm..

^^that sounds yummy!^^

ha! that's pretty friggin sweet :)

it would be 453 cals/hour for me - to get yours specifically, click on your burn meter and type in swimming - breaststroke and it will tell you how much you burn with that activity in an hour.

mkculs: this is exactly what i have been working on doing - i find so far it's a good strategy for me, too :)

p.s. rapaciously is a fabulous vocabulary word! :D

Diet sugar has zero calories and zero sugar (someone above mentioned it had sugar - it doesn't, it just has tons of artificial sweeteners).

oops - that would be me -i've been lucky enough to never like soda my entire life - even as a wee little child - so i was speaking as an ignorant non-soda drinker :X

i did it! :D

agreed! :)
