Me, I don't lose weight without exercising. Except the first time I went on a strict low-carb diet, then I dropped 30 pounds without exercising more, but it's never been that easy again. I think you get one chance at that and then your body says, "oho, I know this trick!" and adjusts.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I lost more weight in the weeks that I exercised than in the weeks I didn't.
That is absolutely true for me (and I have charts and graphs with linear regression to back it up because I am that person). But if I exercise but eat whatever I want, I don't lose weight at all and may gain, whereas if I cut calories but don't exercise I will probably lose some but definitely slower than if I exercise.
Todd, you remind me of the time my mother went to the doctor and complained that if she walked more than 3 miles at a stretch her toes would start hurting and could he fix that. He was all - can you get the rest of my patients to walk 3 miles?
I bought a yoga mat at Target today. Weightloss would be good, but I've got to get some flexibility back. My weight has not changed in years, but I'm hoping to make my joints hurt less.
Oh, and for the record: 2-day unbroken streak of flossing like a motherfucking adult. Woo!
Woot!
I went to the dentist yesterday and, while I've slacked off on the flossing, I brush religiously. Even after lunch at the office. My teeth are still good ... at least as good as they're going to be, considering.
Timelies all!
It started snowing this afternoon as I was heading home. Not hard, just there.
Her comic book collection is extensive, and her family thought it could be used to bring in some $ for the charity. Is there someone local who can look at it and tell us what it is worth? I haven't a clue and don't want to get cheated.
I have embraced my fattiness and enjoy being a general hedonist. (I do need to move around more though, for general health, and I'm working on that.)
Has anyone ever sold gold to one of those We Buy Gold places? I've got a bent 14k gold ring that's missing its stone, and it has no value as jewelry.
That was interesting. I just watched as a potato exploded in my oven. I thought that was a myth.
