About two months ago I hit a 35 lb weight loss mark, and I was feeling really happy with the shape of my body. But in the last couple of months, even though I've kept losing weight (now 40 lbs down) my stomach has gotten big again.

I was really happy with about a 32 inch waist. Two months later, it's almost 35 inches, but I have LOST weight and size in my arms, legs, breasts, etc. I don't understand this. I'm not starving myself, and I just started at a school where I carry a backpack up and down stairs all day, so I don't think I could be losing muscle.

Does anyone know what can cause this, or what I can do about this?

are you doing lots of crunches, becuz if there is any fat around your stomach, when you do crunches it will make your muscles bigger and push out your stomach more

I simply dislike the title. It creeps me out.

me too, I don't agree with killing anybody.

Because there's a poster in the thread with some unpopular beliefs.  Certain other CCers are tired of reading some rather combative responses.

edited to remove a sentence that was sorta snarky.

Are you saying that my way of thinking is unpopular becuz i am sure that many other followers of Christ would agree with me?

ha ha just kidding i meant to say advice

"The Bible, the Torrah, the Q'ran, and other religious texts still in use today, were written thousands of years ago. Are they really still relevant to modern day issues?"

 

 

 

I believe Leviticus saying to stone someone for being gay is the Old Testament, Old Testament is the LAW, the Law is your judge (not me!), for the Price of ANY sin is death, but it is not our place to kill or judge it is God's place. So does the Old Testament still apply? Yes I believe the price of any sin is death, but at the same time "let he without sin cast the first stone" correct? so that being said with the New testament written, one can accept Jesus and be forgiven for any and all sins that (s)he has committed if they accept Jesus as the price for their sins instead of "Death" as the price for their sins, So yes the Bible very much does apply to today's issues, If one accepts Jesus as the price for their sins instead of Death, You begin to walk with him and you learn from the "law of the old testament" that certain things that you do as human beings are wrong, (lie, cheat, steal, adultery, homosexuality, murder) judged not by me but by God" and Jesus and the Holy spirit help you to become less and less sinful, I am sorry if you are judge by Christians as being wrong for it is not our place to tell you that you are wrong for we ALL fall short of the glory of God because we are all sinners, but if you let the law be your judge you will see that if you accept Jesus as your savior he can help you overcome the imo (addiction) to homosexuality, or any other sin,

Volt,

Correct, I am strongly opposed to anyone who thinks it is okay to mess with a kid's head and tell that child that he/she is somehow defective because that child is gay. I am strongly opposed to anyone who advocates perpetuating this kind of hostility. This is the point of my posts.

that is what you believe, the original author of this thread wanted to know why i teach my kids this so called "hate" that God said homosexuallity is a sin, I love all of you guys even though i don't know you personally, i don;t hate any of you, but the point of me posting was not to cause any hostility, but rather to defend my kids upbringing, I do not agree with killing gays or calling gays names, or any other hate like that

YOU SAY MY VEIW ARE HOSTILE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I SAY YOUR VEIWS ARE HOSTILE BECUZ YOU ARE SAYING HOW I RAISE MY KIDS IS WRONG sorry for caps not yelling

.

I am interested to know what kind of treatment one would receive to "correct gay"

Let the holy spirit guide you in the right direction

I know I won't sway you on this at all. I don't care. Your comment that being gay is a problem and you can fix such a child just needs to be responded to so there is a balancing voice against your hostility towards homosexuals. It's not okay to advocate persecuting someone because they are gay. 

edited for spelling

thats where you're wrong i have no hostility towards you or anybody else on this forum

 Okay, here again, I gotta disagree with you.  My mom's an alcoholic, and I don't think she has much control over it.

Alcoholism still has nothing to do with homosexuality, whether or not you think they have characteristics in common.

And yes, Split, I hope we do share an opinion here.

then we both simply disagree, no harm in that right, thats what makes us ppl we don't all have to agree with what is right or wrong

parspark, so what you are saying is that ppl can not choose their destiny, do you believe alcoholics are born that way as well? you say that it's different but why do you say that it's different? I say a sin is the same no matter what it is and that God can help with any sin. once again no judgement passed

 LOL Actually, alcoholism has been proven to be genetic, so it is passed down through your family. So if Alcoholism runs in your family, you are more likely to be alcoholic. So yeah, I suppose they are born that way.

but, do you think that they have any control over wheather they pick up a drink or not? I say yes they do

"Some scientists believe they have found the gay gene or genes, others predictably disagree as it's such a touchy subject (for people like Voltmeter)."

I wonder if there are genes that make ppl kill ppl? or ppl to become more angry than others, or if there are genes that make some guys more prone to petafile, yes i will agree with this statement but it is something you can change, i am more prone to anger but i can control it, i am not trying to anyway bestow my religon on any of you, i just feel that this thread attacks the way that christains bring up their children in teaching them that being gay is wrong, so why can't we all just agree to disagree, becuz we are ppl and not all christains hate gays as you assume that we do. i honestly don't mind if you are gay or not but PLEASE do not tell me that i am wrong for teaching my kids that this is what the word of God says and that i agree with it. and as for the marriage thing we can also agree to disagree and vote the way that we feel, there no reason for me to say that your are wrong and vice versa.

yes but at that point in time incest was not a sin because the gene pool was perfect.

Umm...biology major, here...let me get this straight...

The gene pool used to be perfect. The gene pool is no longer perfect. So you believe that the gene pool changes over time. But I suppose that you dont believe in evolution? (Which is defined as "changes in the gene pool over time.")

Evolution is kinda off topic don't you think?
