    How you say it.

    Fat is both and adjective and a noun. Thus you can say both: I have fat. and I am fat. Both are correct.

    Who pays? Dating dilemma...

    Hmm. I am clearly even more different than I thought I was. :B I never expect a guy to pay for dinner, no matter who asked. I always offer to pay my half, and it's not just a gesture for show--I really want to pay for my half of the meal. Perhaps it's in the way that I date (well dated, now...

    Can we talk about other weight loss efforts here?

    Since someone mentioned fitday.com I thought I'd mention sparkspeople.com which is a great site with nutrition tracking. (I used it to make sure I'm getting enough calcium, and potassium, although it does calories and other nutrients as well.) They also have great recipes and health and fitness...

    Saint Bernards and Greyhounds

    I did say it might not be the case for everyone. However, even as someone who had tried going on diets before I find that my own ability to estimate volume/weight of food becomes skewed the longer I don't actually confirm my estimates against a constant. In my experience I need to start...

    Saint Bernards and Greyhounds

    if we say we eat 1400 calories a day we must be lying It's not "lying", but there have been a few studies done that show when all people calculate their own calories they tend to underestimate. And other studies have shown that depending on the size of the meal we tend to underestimate the...

    "I wish I was born a Latina so I'd be CURVY instead of FAT"

    This thread is so funny. I've never been made fun of for my weight more than when I lived in Mexico! And I was a skinny teenager at the time. And no...they weren't making fun of me because I was too skinny. I'm half Mexican and I used to live in the summers with my mother's family. My cousin...

    Woman Wants Her Weight BACK!!

    Gymansts tend to have larger legs and butts when they're training--but it's all muscle. They tend to maintain a very low body fat percentage while they're in their prime competition years. Afterwards it's just like anyone else--where you gain and lose fat is based on genetics. If a gymnast is...

    Gallbladder/Appendectomy?

    I had my appendectomy last year. On my birthday no less! The pain was in my lower right abdomen and after a stop at an urgent care clinic, they sent me to an ER and that ER sent me to a hospital that could do the surgery immediately. Apparently once they decide it might be your appendix they...

    Flirting!!

    Hmm..to be honest I don't think there's anything anyone can tell you about being a better "flirt". To me it's just about showing your interest, and who you are and trying to see if the other person matches up and is interested in what you have to offer. If you start using lines, or particular...

    More scurilous filfth on Television

    I think the show is overly dramatic and fear mongering, but it's not as fat centered as I thought it would be. (Don't get me wrong--they still discuss losing body fat for health etc. it's just not the sole focus of the show.) They also talk about nutritional health, and surprisingly emotional...

    Health advice.

    I run three miles, 4 days a week. I lift weights 4 days a week (2 day upper and lower body split) and then I focus on core muscles one day a week--either on my own or in a pilates class. I used to do a kick boxing and spinning class in addition but since have since dropped them as I was getting...

    What Not To Wear and women's body issues

    I understand that that's your view point, I just take a different message away from what I see! These women generally already have low self-esteem. I think this is reflected many times in their poor wardrobe choices. Many wear all black clothes that are in disrepair and are many sizes too big...

    fear of gaining.

    Oops! I should have quoted that bit probably, that's NFA's comment I was asking about. I agree with your points about disordered eating and understanding the diverse reasons for weight gain.
