Ok damnit, somebody teach me how to do this!

It's simple and it's not simple. Having calories out > calories in will always result in weight loss. I think this is easily proven by the success of gastric banding. But the fact of the matter is BMR is very different between people and the truth is that simply reducing calories might not result in the best weight loss because your body will adapt and burn less calories.

I was overweight my entire life, I ate the same amount or less than all of my friends and did the exact same activities they did (basketball, video games, everything). I weighed over 300 lbs and most BMR calculators said I needed between 2500 and 3500 calories just to maintain that weight. When I started to work at it and recorded every morsel I ate I found that wasn't anywhere close to what I burned.

To lose weight without exercise I had to eat somewhere in the 1200 calorie range. I started working out and eventually became a workout fiend, running for 30 minutes a day and heavy weight training for 1.5 hours. At my fittest (200 lbs, 11% body fat, working out everyday) I can eat 2000 - 2200 calories a day and maintain my weight. The friend I work out with has to force feed himself 3500 calories and can't gain weight (muscle or fat).

TLDR; yes it can be done through simple discipline for everyone, but please be sensitive to the fact that the commitment required to stay trim is not the same for all.

You aren't cheating the system and you are an idiot. I don't know what industry your are in but there are probably hundreds of companies hiring people to do what your scripts are doing. You can package this solution and sell it to all of them. Get off your but and get to work.

What the fuck, 6 years ago when I was actually working out heavily I discovered ON which seemed to be a bit of an underdog but which I found had by far the best results and tasted the best. It was only like $30-$35 for 5lb, now it's $50+ !

I feel like someone who's favorite indy band went mainstream.

Yours is the first "Convince Me" link that I didn't close 10 seconds in. Could not stop for some reason.

It's not the big of deal to bypass the metal detectors, the whole reason most people are getting patted down anyway is because they alarmed. They can alarm on anything, like metal buttons.

Wow this is a fascinating observation. I have a metal knee and travel weekly so I get patted down ALOT. Not once have they ever checked the bottom of my feet. In fact the new procedures don't even use the wand metal detector, it is hand patdown only, so this would work for sure. If you were Shaq you could smuggle on two 23 inch blades!

This is not true, both traditional and roth IRA's are protected from bankruptcy proceedings (up to 1 million). There are circumstances where creditors could get access to IRA funds if you chose NOT to file for bankruptcy and those laws vary from state to state.

They key is a "$200 transaction" not just the monetary cost which is a perfectly valid point. You will not find any other crimes where a monetary transaction itself will cause such lengthy and costly incarcerations.

I suppose it's possible, how much time will you get for paying someone to kill your wife? Could you get someone to do it for $200 :)

This isn't technically true but in practice it might as well be. The updates are always done through microsoft and a central server, and MSFT could at any time push any update they want. They have agreements in place with carriers though that will give carriers time to test updates and sign off on them. Ultimately they have to do what the carrier wants or they will stop carrying windows phones. Someone in Apples position has a lot more leverage to force their hand.

Microsoft is actually not a Jonny come lately in search. MSN search was launched in 1998, it just wasn't very good.

This guy is grossly overstating his trick. It won't work if you can see the clothing on the scan at all, which you can see for many types of material. It has to be extremely thin and lightweight in order to show up as nothing against the black background and the more lightweight it is the harder it is to conceal something of consequence (like a gun)

Are you honestly putting destruction of an old church on the same level of "atrocity" as indiscriminate slaughter of thousands of un-armed, non-combatant human beings?

Is this outside the convention center in downtown seattle? I've only been there twice but that sky bridge is pretty identifiable.

I had to stop reading the article I saw in the trib last night, it was making me too angry.

Lets just create a multi-tiered sexual education program. Those who want to maximize their childrens' ignorance can opt out of all but the minimum learning objectives that include the most vital health and safety aspects of sexual education.

The tiers could increase up to an AP class for kids who are interested in careers in healthcare or counseling or who know sexuality is an important part of an abundant, happy, healthy, and full life.I would opt for the highest level of education for my kids, and all of these parents could opt for the most ignorant level of education for their kids.

I want the school to teach empirically verified information on sexuality. I also want my children to understand that homosexuality is normal and that there is nothing inherently wrong, bad, or dysfunctional with being gay and living gay. I want my children to be taught the truth. Those who don't, should be given an option at any time to opt their child out.

Problem solved.
