I'd go so far as to say you shouldn't step on the scale at all in general. It tells you nothing. If you look like a super model (or fitness mag model, depending on your gender/preference) and are able to move the way you want to, do you really care if you weigh 200 lbs? Weight is irrelevant. BF% is all that matters,…

"I would totally rape you" is a COMPLIMENT! I mean, seriously, you think anyone has ever said that to Susan Boyle?? Geez, when will women understand.

Giving money to charity does nothing for me, but giving money to PEOPLE does. I helped a young couple out a few of years back who were stranded at the gas station. The poor girl was sobbing as she was asking people for money. Completely mortified. I gave them about $20 worth of gas and that $20 brought me more…

These are good ideas for what to do when you're hungry (I really like the split meal suggestion), but if you're hungry, you're not eating the right things in the first place. It's better to avoid hunger rather than having to suffer through it.

Bro... Dude. Seriously.

I was going to disagree with this just from reading the headline, but came to the same conclusion that the article did before the article even finished loading (slow internet or fast brain? I'll never tell!) I'm primarily a C# programmer and got started 'officially' programming with QuickBasic and got in hard core…

The calories in/calories out mantra isn't useful because you can't control either to any degree of accuracy.

While I appreciate and value the concept of the article (incremental steps toward health are worthy even if you have unhealthy habits mixed in), science doesn't back up the whole idea that anything can be healthy. For example, smoke of any kind is always unhealthy. There is no level of cigarette or incense smoke…

Maybe I'm just hungry but she looks like she's about to take a bite out of a giant invisible doughnut....

Financial Peace University Junior.

Ah, to be in an environment where people can help. Around here, it's been 'Hey, this new technology is cool. Refactor this business-critical web service based on it. No one knows how to use it yet, so you'll be our expert!"

Yeah, I'm sure it's not at all true.

Step 1: Realize kids aren't people so they don't matter.
Step 2: Enjoy life instead.

I'm one of those who finds it torturous. It hurts and doesn't ever make me laugh. Does make me punch and kick though... so that's kinda the intended evolutionary effect, right?

I agree that poverty removes some options. For example, I know someone who has messed up his credit so badly (because of a lack of money and poor practices) that he can't get an apartment, so he lives in an extended-stay hotel at 50% more than he would have to pay if he got an apartment. He is a good person. I…

I tried but your mom was hogging them all :(

In some cases it is. Most of the time it's just a combination of bad luck and bad financial practices. There are, of course, the rare instances where someone is just totally screwed over by everyone they encounter, and that's where charity comes in to save the day. Poor people (in America) aren't poor because they…

LOL, thanks, man. That headline is the greatest thing in the world.

"letting people have even the barest glimmer of what could be called a treat goes a long way to helping" And there's the crux of our poverty problem. Everyone believes that they shouldn't be uncomfortable. Being poor sucks. It SHOULD be uncomfortable because it's a bad situation and the discomfort is there to tell…

I've been homeless, too. I know that once you get into a bad situation, stuff gets more expensive and your options get limited. I get that. Fast food is still a luxury. If you're homeless, you can't cook food, but there are plenty of things that you can buy at the grocery store that you don't need to cook that are…
