    So, if a cabinet level position takes hundreds of millions in bribes to direct US foreign policy, yes they should be prosecuted after leaving office even if not running for president.

    I look forward to seeing George W. and Dick Cheney being convicted of war crimes in Iraq.

    Yeah, I mean it's not like there were leaked emails from DNC officials that demonstrate that the whole nomination process was rigged in her favor from day 0.

    Each political party sets the rules for their nomination party. Super delegates are part of the Democratic nomination process. Rewriting the rules at the last minute is part of the Republican nomination process. That's not corruption. If you think it is, start your own political party and write the rules.

    Sure, but you CAN plug in the values he's claimed and do some math:

    Your calculations are seriously flawed. I'm not adorable the butterball you're looking for.

    He claims he's eating only 1500 calories per day, which means his claimed base metabolic rate is 1617 calories per day, in order to lose 2 pounds in 2 months.

    My current diet is 1,500 calories per day. According to various calculators, I need to eat 4,000 calories per day to maintain my weight at 350 pounds. I haven't eaten 4,000 calories per day since I stopped lifting weights 15 years ago.

    And, he's not exercising at all - if he were exercising on 1500 calories per day, he'd have lost a hell of a lot more than 2 pounds in 2 months, even including muscle gain.

    I work out on the weekends, trying to master the rowing machine. Before that I was on the treadmill and elliptical machines for years.

    He then claimed he was eating 2000 calories per day, but somehow, his weight shot up 75 pounds in a year, because "magic."

    I gain 75 pounds 15 years ago when I spent a year at the gym working four or five times a week and eating 4,000 calories per day to burn off fat and gain muscle weight. It's called bodybuilding. Unfortunately, I did it the wrong way and it wasn't sustainable.

    He also then claimed that after he stopped exercising, at 2000 calories a day, he maintained a consistent weight for 10 years, at the same caloric intake level that somehow magically allowed him to gain 75 pounds of pure muscle in a year.

    After I stopped lifting weights for a year and returned to a normal 2,000 calorie per day diet, I lost 50 pounds in muscle mass. I went from a 4XL to a borderline XL/2XL in t-shirts.

    This does not happen in the real world, I don't care WHAT your insulin levels are.

    Thank God I don't live in the real world. It sounds boring.

    Eating 2000 calories a day will still cause weight loss for you.

    Eating 2,000 calories didn't work for me. The magic number is 1,500 calories.

    Anything less then your current metabolic calorie requirements will cause weight loss.

    According to one calculator, I need to eat 4,000 calories or so per day to maintain my weight at 350 pounds. The problem with that number is that I haven't had a 4,000 calorie day in 15 years. When I changed my diet to drop from 2,000 calories to 1,500 calories per day, I've started losing weight.

    I'm curious how you went 5 years without much change.

    Plateaued from eating the same food and doing the same exercise for five years. Started mixing up things this year.

  8. Unless you did hydrostatic or X-ray body composition testing, how would you know?

    The scale and mirror didn't lie. I gained weight, lost fat and added muscle mass. Trying to find 4XL shirts was a bitch. Now I'm a borderline XL/2XL.

    Even if you keep that up consistently, it's probably going to take you about three years to get down to 200 pounds.

    It's better to go slow and consistent.

    And it's probably best to stick with aerobic exercise, if not for any other reason that you won't be tempted to attribute lack of progress to gaining muscle.

    I'm trying to master the rowing machine at the gym.

  9. Putting on significant amounts of muscle requires more than "exercising a bit more", and not usually the kinds of exercises people do for weight loss; it doesn't happen by accident.

    I went from 325 pounds to 400 pounds when I lifted weights at the gym for a year. I lost fat and gained muscle, but not in the right way. After I stopped lifting weights, my weight settled down to 350 pounds and that's my weight for the last ten years. Although I've been on a low carb diet for the last five years, I reduced my calorie intake to 1,500 calories per day two months ago. This month I weighed 348 pounds.

  10. The scale at my gym maxed out at 350 pounds. For years the scale also thunked when I got on. When I reduced my calorie intake to 1,500 calories per day, the scale stopped thunking but didn't budge below 350 pounds. This month it showed that I weighed 348 pounds.

    I initially lost weight when I was forced to go on a low-carb diet with my father when he lived with me for two months after he got out of the hospital in 2011. After he moved back home, I stuck to the diet but I didn't lose any more weight. I was 350 pounds for the last five years. That didn't change until I started counted calories and reduced my calorie intake to 1,500 per day two months ago. I'm now under 350 pounds. I recently got a stopwatch to keep track of my time on the rowing machine at the gym.

    Learn to manage your money. If you can't go one week without receiving a paycheck, there is something wrong with YOU.

    When I worked for the community college bookstore, I got paid ONCE A MONTH. No taxes were ever taken out of those monthly paychecks. Fortunately, my income as a college student was so low that I had no taxes. The full time staff had it harder since they needed to set aside $8K or $10K each year for taxes.
