With regards to exercise, I’m astounded at the number of people who think exercise is required to lose weight. I realized this over Christmas when my relatives were lamenting how they need to start working out to lose the holiday weight, all the while eating lots of holiday food. Exercise can make weight loss more efficient, but it’s not required. If you feel you can’t spare the time to exercise, don’t. Just eat less.
Because it’s pathetic that some women can’t display their inner attention whore honestly and must use the lame tactic of pretending they’re supposed to be a cat/bunny/wench/nurse when they’re really just looking for an excuse to try to be sexy. If you can’t / don’t feel sexy at least some of the other 364 days of the year, crammin yourself into a micro mini Little Red Ridinghood getup is a pretty sad tactic.
Sorry for the hijack, but this thread seems a bit off the rails anyway.
You’re not good at this.
There’s a reason people normally use a semicolon there.
Since you’re finding reading a bit challenging, I’ll sum up the one part I really care about you seeing:
It’s like you read a book somewhere about how the cool kids do putdowns, and you’ve ventured forth onto the internet to try to put it into action. It’s kind of adorable, in a gee-I-feel-really-embarassed-for-you sort of way. Like those videos of people whose marriage proposals get rejected.

This particular cite doesn’t specify, but all my printed literature from my Drs says 100 extra calories in the 1st trimester and 300 extra calories in the 2nd and 3rd (I’m in the 2nd).
Also, it’s not only the 20-cell blastocyst that requires the extra calories - it’s the mother. A 25-30 lb weight gain is considered healthy for a woman with a normal BMI and only about 15 lbs of that is actual baby - the body needs to increase blood volume, etc and it take calories to do that.
Oh, okay, gotcha. I thought you were saying that you’d just gotten pregnant and someone was telling you you needed an extra 300 calories a day right then. Second trimester makes a lot more sense.
That’s one approach. Or you can check the “Disable Smilies” box. Or put a space after the colon. Or you can preview. Or you can have a look at what you posted and utilize the five-minute edit window. Really, it’s almost embarrassing how many ways you can avoid coding like someone’s granny, instead of leaving your ass hanging out while you hasten to contradict your so-cool “TL: DR” response because you just can’t resist having your say after all. :rolleyes:
You guys… he’s trying. Be patient. 
Oh god, you know what, you’re right. I feel so bad now. BRB, self-flagellating.
Does self-flagellation burn a lot of calories?
Goddammit, it’s official. I love you, Guns. That was awesome.
They don’t want to see their brand on fat men either. I bought a great pair of Ecko cargo pants a few years ago, in my size (46-48). I went back for more pants, only to be told ‘we don’t carry in those sizes anymore, (fatso)’.
I’d guess that the OP has something in his/her history regarding a fat person that’s caused some emotional scarring.
I know two people who have legitimate thyroid issues that cause them to be larger, who eat under 2200 calories a day (I know because I’m with them) and with just the minimal amount of exercise (I know because I’m with them), should be able to lose weight like it’s going out of style. They can’t because their bodies won’t let them. If I know two people, how many other people are out there, and what’s the real cause?
For many, it IS willpower and the lack thereof, for some though, it’s harder and sadder than the OP can even imagine.
She quoted me!! She quoted me!!!
Oh…oh be still my beating heart…
double post
How’s that armchair? Comfy?
I need to post more in this thread. I didn’t get quoted.
But it’s hard to post when my hands are full of delicious, delicious Twinkies.
So you pick on my login name and I’m the one reading the book about cool kid insults?
What kind of name is Shot From Guns?
Snot From Nuns… oh look I made a name?
The part you wanted me to see is like the Chewbacca Defense. It just doesn’t make sense.
I think you’re an asshole. Maybe I should have just said that in the first place.
And holy shit, I screwed up on the TL;DR thing and when I decided to edit the post the edit window had closed. Well fuck me and that breach of protocol.
Get laid, Guns. You need it.
Well, I’ve been pretty shocked at the number of people from day one who’ve been pushing cupcakes, and cookies and candies and all sorts of fatty, sugary crap saying ‘go on dear - you’re eating for two now!’ When I quote the above info (i.e. 100 extra calories, or a medium sized apple) these people get twisted out of shape.
It’s very odd - I have type II diabetes in my family history big time - the last thing I need is a bunch of sugary crap. (And these people know that).
Pot, Kettle, Black, etc.
Seriously, I don’t know how you’re trying to protray yourself in this thread with your posts, but unless it’s total, unremiting douche, you’ve failed.
The difference is you have zero substance behind the insults. You have nothing but the insults. You are nothing but an insult.
