Original Post by kevinatthebrook: Original Post by highheeldiva01: Hmmmm lol looks like there might b a few fun people out there? The Lounge motto is: CC, come for the counting, stay for the crazy. (or something like that) places $1.00 in escrow, I think it's far enough off to be in the public domain. Ruling? collects funds owed to me
Foods	juice fast	Jun 06 2013 23:42 (UTC)	4
From another thread, you are supposed to be eating 3000 calories. How are you possibly going to get 3000 calories if you are only drinking juice? And why would you want to only drink juice? Where are you going to get your fat and protein from?
Calorie Count	What does net calories mean?	Jun 05 2013 22:22 (UTC)	3
Exercise doesn't uneat calories. If you ate 1500, then you ate more than your BMR. The burn from exercise gets added to the rest of the cals you burned that day, and if you burned more than 1500 total, you have a deficit, and will lose weight.
The Lounge	Race: How Old Were You?	Jun 04 2013 18:35 (UTC)	4
Original Post by washywishywasfulness: The earliest I can remember knowing a distinction between races was in kindergarten. My best friend was mexican and I knew that she was mexican and I was not. I remember my first day of kindergarten, seeing two girls standing next to each other and I thought they were twins because they both had long straight black hair. Turns out their last names were "Chang" and "Steinberg" (names changed to protect the innocent, but very clearly Chinese and Jewish). My only guess is that my mom had recently explained twins to me, and I was on the lookout to find some. I don't have any other clear memories of not understanding or learning about race.
Young Calorie Counters	Need a buddy that wont complain about my habits	Jun 04 2013 18:30 (UTC)	4
So now that we've clarified your weights, what are your "habits" that you are worried that someone will complain about?

Even replying to this thread would have been a better solution than creating a new thread. For other people's ease, I've quoted it here: Original Post by SammyLove: I did NOT mean 100 pounds. I thought I typed 120 for my ultimate and 130 for my current but my phone is screwy.
Weight Loss	juicing diet who's in?	Jun 04 2013 18:27 (UTC)	1
It's not that you can't make juice, if you want to. Just don't try to create a diet plan that's based on some misconception that "juicing" is going to be better long term than a well-rounded diet of real foods that has you consuming a reasonable amount less than you burn.

Original Post by kevinatthebrook: Original Post by amethystgirl: Original Post by kevinatthebrook: I'm not cutting off my penis to be cool. Not down with apophallation? Do you know this stuff off the top of your head? BTW, I've only been called an air breathing land slug one other time. That was last week though so I see a trend developing. Would you be impressed if I said yes? I had lab TA who was writing her thesis on banana slugs, and we were all quite bemused by such a term. At one point while on travel, we got all of the guys in our group to travel in one van, which we dubbed The Apophallation Station (they voted for "Man Van" but were outnumbered).

Health & Support	Why can't my BMI just stay at 18,5?? Must I go all the way up to 20?	Jun 04 2013 17:19 (UTC)	5
Original Post by janeevans28: Okay I admit maybe I was oversensitive but the thing is that neither of you guys know that I'm still trying to lose weight or not Except your more recent thread gives your BMI at 18, which means you did indeed lose weight since originally posting this thread.
Fitness	workouts for the stay at home mom?	Jun 04 2013 17:15 (UTC)	3
Original Post by floggingsully: Original Post by epinephrine: Isn't the story of Hercules that he started training by lifting a calf every day, and as the calf got bigger and bigger he got stronger and stronger, until eventually he was lifting a full-grown bull? Milo, not Hercules. Both. Except Milo was real.
Weight Loss	juicing diet who's in?	Jun 04 2013 12:24 (UTC)	12
Original Post by pollyalice85: It is great! Do it. Watch fat sick and nearly dead in you tube. Anyone that suggests juicing isn't real diet is misled. They're probably counting cake calories and wondering why they're sick. Oh Polly, remember this? Original Post by pollyalice85: I feel bad about how many times I've wasted people's time after I've run down a wrong road chasing a fad. Tonight I saw a topic saying "700 calorie fat fast" and i went to go in and then left quickly! I'm training myself to be normal and get results by balance. What happened?
The Lounge	Bi-racial Cheerios ad	Jun 03 2013 22:18 (UTC)	16
Does anyone else wonder what biracial Cheerios look/taste like? Are they half plain, half honey nut?
The Lounge	Bi-racial Cheerios ad	Jun 03 2013 19:41 (UTC)	30
Original Post by kevinatthebrook: it also validates the existence of biracial and multiracial people. It's a cereal commercial. How many of us doubted the existence of biracial and multiracial people in the first place? How many of us? Very few. But there are apparently folks on the interwebs who got very pissed about Cheerios admitting, let alone condoning, the existence of bi/multiracial people. I don't think this is as much about the ad, as the response it got from some.

Original Post by janeevans28: It's not a question of being lied to. People who come here are supposed to help each other by giving helpful answers or advice...not nasty and sarcastic useless comments. Neither response was nasty or sarcastic. They were honest. Linden answered your question, explaining why you can't just stay at 18.5. Ladydog pointed out that although you claim to be recovering, your logs show different, as you were still trying to lose weight (eating far too little, and keeping a deficit that would be too high for most people, but certainly not someone in your situation).
The Lounge	Bi-racial Cheerios ad	Jun 03 2013 19:16 (UTC)	33
I know I shouldn't be surprised that people said hateful things on the youtube comment section (it is, after all, the comment section on the interwebs)... but I am. The part in the article about asking "What is she?" reminded me of this video.
Weight Loss	3k burn a day... What now	Jun 03 2013 18:02 (UTC)	11
Original Post by kelrantymus: Original Post by oregonlakes: This post has been removed and is no longer available. Stahp. For realz. The "Jumpstart" routine violates the ToS of this site so continuing to promote it is not kosher. Seriously. And regarding "Skinny Rules", which Oregon seems to have decided to spam the boards with, I believe of the 20 rules I've seen listed, I managed to get thin skinny fit without following over half of them, and include contradictory rules like "no carbs after lunch" and "make one day a week meatless". Explain how you can have a carb-free dinner without meat? Not to mention the sheer ridiculousness of having no carbs after lunch, which would mean no veggies in your dinner?
Weight Loss	What does NET means?	Jun 03 2013 17:46 (UTC)	2
Original Post by oregonlakes: I think one lb is 3700 for women, no? No, 3500 is one pound of fat, and there is no difference between the number of calories in a woman's pound of fat than a man's.

Not All Processed Foods Are Created Equal

Fact: a diet containing whole, fresh fruits and vegetables is one of the best for a healthy mind and body. Although true, it can be hard to keep food fresh at home for longer periods of time, and if you have no time to shop every few days, boxed and canned foods become appealing. We often hear about heavily processed frozen dinners and processed foods worth avoiding, but there are minimally processed foods that do pack a lot of nutrition and may be worth having in the fridge or cupboard.
