Ask Ruggie

Food.

Because. (And it's true)

Yes.

Because wet, breathing things sometimes make noises.  Also, your dog might need to lose weight, or could benefit from a more humid environment.  Do they make Doggie Breathe-Right strips?  

How come I don't lose weight when I eat donuts, pizza and cupcakes all day?

I thought this sleeve thing would work.

Ah, that's the recipe for weight gain, not weight loss.  You've almost got it!  

OK..... Serious.... cause I think this would be a great benefit for the noobs and even advanced......

- I think one of the most miss used words on this forum is "Stall"........ What's the difference between the 3 week stall and a stall for 3 months......

- What was the secret or one thing that you think was huge that got you to goal ?

1)  My opinion - and I know others will disagree - is that the stall that occurs at three weeks is normal and biochemically expected, as gene expression undergoes significant changes during this time, as your body adjusts from a fat-storing state to a fat-burning state.  However, being actually stalled for a three-month period - I would just call that entering maintenance.  You don't 'stall' for three months; if you're the same weight for three months you're maintaining.  You hit your equilibrium.  To move forward, you gotta change it up.

2)  My secret that was huge to getting to goal?  Why Frisco, you're so humble.  It was your advice!  Undereat your sleeve.  I still do that.  I measure out my food, and don't use restriction as a sign to stop eating.  Oh sure, every now and then it'll happy in a restaurant or something, but for the majority of meals (eating at home and at work), all my stuff is measured out just like it was during weight loss.  That, and working with a surgeon and doctor's office that works hard to educate and support their patients.

I wasn't fishin for that..... but, I can see that......

Should I increase my ice cream consumption in light of the upcoming  Apocalypse?  I am thinking of adding some See's candies to my diet seeing as how there is bound to be a huge run on them when the end is near.  What do you think?

 

O, come on, you know, you just know you miss us.  :)

Hey... why the hell am I logging... the most I could gain is 10 pounds and we're all going to die in 12 days anyway... you have a point. Where's the bon bons, dammit?

First, most dentists and meteorologists agree that there's only a 20% chance of the Apocalyse actually occuring.

Second, I think you'll be safe with See's as most people will still be focused on tracking down that last Twinkie.

Third, of course I miss you  :)

Mini hijack to add .... I've been saying that for weeks.  I will be so PISSED if the world ends and I could have been eating chips and cookies!!
