Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, that's pretty sweet, Robin. Mass massage outings are fun. I think the communal limpness enhances the whole thing.
Unrelatedly, I just got sent an e-mail with the "car door remotes work over the phone" thing. And a "hey, one of you guys try this and tell me if it works!"
Shouldn't you try it yourself before sending the e-mail out? I mean, if your google finger is broken?
Ooh, Robin, that sounds fab.
People do make me crazy with the food. I have a friend who is constantly "trying" to lose weight, except honestly? NSM. She does like two days of some unrealistic plan and then eats a whole pizza.
and asked me "How much fat is in Coke?"
Me: "Ummm....none."
Her: "Oh, good! Because I didn't really want to stop drinking it!"
Another person destined to eat a package of low-fat cookies a night and wonder why the pounds don't come off.
Actually, I think everyone should just be referred to fitday. I learned a TON just tracking what I was eating.

So true. But I found myself going, "OMIGOD! I DID NOT EAT ENOUGH PROTEIN! I MUST EAT A CAN OF TUNA BEFORE MY MUSCLES WITHER AND DIE!"
Because, as I've stated before, I am a fool.

Or, you might possibly be my mother.
When it comes to food -- or any personal habits, really, self-flagellation is so much more decorous than the flagellation of others.
Well, you know, where's the challenge in the "Eat Better and Exercise" plan?
My work-wife (okay, work-'sband) would go through these phases where he'd skip breakfast to lose weight. So he'd be pissy until he carbo-loaded at noon. Whenever I tried to explain the basic principles he be all "No, that can't be. Just not eating should do it, so I'm skipping breakfast!"
Of course, I seem to be having a problem with the eating-right-and-exercising thing at the moment myself.

Me, too. I'm thinking cutting out the half-pint of whipping cream that I put in my morning quart of coffee will help fairly dramatically, though.

Iiiiik! You kill the coffee!

My dad is like that. He truly believes that eating as little as possible is the only way to lose weight. He's a 160-lb man, and he thinks 1200 calories/day might be too much for him. I've tried to explain the whole thing where if you don't eat enough, your body thinks it's starving (because, you know, IT IS), and therefore hangs onto every last calorie. And the part where you need to fuel your body so that it can continue to, you know, EXIST.
Fortunately his willpower is weaker than the grip with which he clings to his insane notions, and he eats way more than 1200 calories/day. He has one hell of a sweet tooth.
