Then, when I went to Alaska, I worked at a remote site about 200 miles west of Anchorage.

I never realized there were 200 miles west of Anchorage. I had to look it up on a map.

I saw this a couple of days ago.

Something to keep in mind. I can attest to some of what's described in there from personal experience.

I've been on a fitness quest recently with the wife...

Joking aside 45 pounds down 10-15 to go - not a slice of bread since January

I am now pounding vitamins for the first time in my life...

Holy shit I wonder how long it would take to learn to do that!

Are we talking about Diet Coke or porn lol.... I think that Diet Coke is still bad for you because even though it's fake sugar with 0 calories, your body doesn't really know the difference between fake sugar and real sugar and still acts the same way.... Increasing insulin production and stimulating hunger......

I vote we retitle Liz as the VNA Forensic Analyst. I think that's the second time she's caught one of those.

Rokkerr and Vicky mentioned cutting out diet Coke. I read a while back how coffee wasn't good for you (now it is again, ) and the suggestion was that you switch to green tea, because of the antioxidents. (I've read that it has more caffeine than coffee.) But, anyway, I made the switch. My analysis?

I just mean in terms of calories. Like as long as you aren't going to binge because you drank diet coke then who cares since there is no calories

But you will binge, because it stimulates your it stimulates your insulin and then there's too much insulin in the blood and it makes you hungry and gives you cravings?

I said this last year but mentally I was still in a very weak place - after the obligatory over-indulgence of the Christmas period (which I will confess must continue for a little while due to what's still left to consume) I will be redoubling my efforts to drop the weight I've accumulated over the last 5-6 years since my hernia and all the other misfortunes that led me to inactivity and comfort eating.

Find a local dog shelter and walk walk walk! That is my advice! It's good for them and you! Mentally and physically. I mean walk, a brisk walk! Not meandering around... power walks! Then build up to jogging... the dogs will love you!
