I fully agree, but I think procedures like liposuction and coolsculpting are moreso for stubborn areas than for losing weight, no? Lipo should specifically only be used for body contouring. Women who get it to lose weight always seem to end up disappointed when the weight comes right back.

I don’t think these procedures are primarily for women who want to be skinnier overall. I think they’re for women who don’t want to have a lower BMI or body-fat percentage (sometimes because that wouldn’t be healthy) but want to remove fat from one particular small area of their bodies without affecting the rest. It’s…

Meh, I do this but my body keeps disproportionate fat on my stomach. I don’t really like to keep my body fat as low as required that I’m happy with my stomach, as it makes me unhappy with the way I feel and with the rest of me. It’s annoying.

But burning more calories than you take in will cause you to lose weight. You know, because math. Also, I bet you could count the studies. You’re just unwilling to do it. Or you can’t count without your fingers and toes.

Careful. Even bland, straightforward advice that all doctors agree with and generally works for most people will be seen as an attack on some segment of the female population and you will be boiled alive, literally.
Like there’s a mob of people headed for your door right now with a cauldron and 100 gallons of…

It’s been said before but I’ll go ahead and reiterate: if you want to be skinnier, eat less and work out more. Even better, stop eating crap.

Newt was proud of this! He tweeted about it! We live in an upside down world.

Hire a guard? You have no idea from the story how many apartments there even are in the building. It sounds like a walkup, so it may not be a lot. If there were say, 8 apartments, would each tenant want to have 1/8th of a full time Manhattan salary plus taxes added to their rent? Could be $500 a month in rent for…

Does anyone know if a study has been made to figure out if fraternity members are more, or less, likely to be rapists?

I saw this earlier today and it gave me my single biggest (non-hysterical) laugh of this cycle.

I live in NY. In Brooklyn. You are wrong.

Harlem is absolutely part of Manhattan. Queens is a different borough, yes, but Harlem is simply a neighborhood. In Manhattan.

Now you’re shifting goalposts. Harlem is not a borough, it is a neighborhood, much like the Lower East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown, etc.

Harlem is an area within Manhattan, like Chelsea, East Side, West side... I hesitate to use the term “neighborhood” because of the sheer size of each of these areas.

Dude stop, you’re talking nonsense. Harlem is a neighborhood within the borough of Manhattan. New York(not Manhattan) is made up of 5 boroughs(Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island.)

What map are you looking at? Harlem makes up big chunks of northern Manhattan. You can’t go from one end of it to the other without passing through Harlem. Educate yourself:

Include Harlem...and Lower East Side...the relatively poor parts of the borough of Manhattan.

Actually, my first assumption was like a lot of other commenters, ‘NO WAY!’, but after crunching the debt on a 30-year fixed, $200k home at ZERO interest, the number is actually affordable at $50k income a year. The mortgage was only $555 a month. Before ‘scoffers’ jest at a $200k home (no, they are not necessarily…

You may be anchored in Manhattan, whereas this is for the metro area...including plenty of places in NY and NJ.

In West Virgina you need to make more then $9,000 per year to purchase a home in most places(excluding Morgantown and Charleston).
