Then what do you do? You don’t need to keep right at the number of calories you ate on CICO but you can’t go right back to what you used to do either. Maintaining a new weight is where the real struggle is for a lot of people (there are plenty of studies on both weight loss and just breaking habits...

Wife knows I'm following CICO, and sent me this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5076033/Internet-goes-mad-latest-diet-CICO-regime.html I didn't know CICO was the new "it" diet??? That article actually says CICO doesn't work the farther you read into it. Pretty silly. It takes about starv...

In late September, I cut these out of my diet: 1. Fast food 2. Soft drinks (which I only ever had at fast food places) 3. Anything thing with added sugar or corn syrup I've gone from 210 to 195 in that time. First major goal is 180; see if 170 makes sense for me after that. I've mostly done the no ...

Peanut Butter(?) - "Questions" (for your review)

I'll eat any brand/type, slight preference to the smooth. In the last year I've pretty much gone 100% to the All Natural, although Jif is always on hand in case of emergency. I've never had a huge problem with the separation if you stir it really well the first time and store at room temp its just f...

Now there are reports saying Strasburg will start game 4. Even though Strasburg gives them a better chance to win, seems like a bad idea to go flip-flopping like this. If he's been forced into feeling like he should start it's hard to see how that's a good thing. Leave it up to Dusty Baker to find a...

Pirate Prospects guy on twitter wondering the sustainability of his site due to lack of interest in the Pirates. Who would've thought a subscription based site with poorly written articles centered around prospects for a small market team with a fickle fan base would be a narrow opportunity? The num...

Yeah, I'm fine with giving Luplow a shot to be that guy. Agree with ulf on the #2-3 starter, I think you just assume Cole/Taillon take the top two spots but it would be really nice to get someone to slot between those two and Nova/Williams. Still if the rotation goes in as Cole, Taillon, Nova, Willi...

Nice way to finish out the home season with some good wins. It's made their top 10 pick status come into a little bit of doubt though: currently tied with the A's for 9/10 and 2 GB of 8th place Atlanta. Miami (11) is only 1 GB and the Jays (12) and O's (13) are both just 1.5 GB. Need some losses dow...

Yea, so I'm a little OCD about that. I do it daily usually once in the morning and just track it in the chart. I feel like if I go to once a week - I need the reassurance it's working and if there's a week that I'm up - I would find that disheartening. If that makes any sense. Yeah makes sense, onc...

I went to weighing myself weekly, it's easier to not obsess that way. I don't have to worry about getting discouraged due to a night out or having a dessert or whatever, it's easier to hide it/make up for it over the course of a week.

There's probably a pretty good argument that last offseason Bell is the easier person to trade than Meadows. In that scenario the starting pitching is better but not exponentially so and the offense is even suckier. It still probably doesn't change the fortunes of the 2017 Pirates. They have a fairl...

This isn't anti-Quintana because I really wanted the Pirates to acquire him. But has it ever been established that the White Sox actually wanted Glasnow and the Pirates were unwilling?

Bucs back in the 9th spot, tied with 8th place Atlanta. 1 game away from 7th place San Diego which now appears to be the best/worst they can get to. 11th place is 2 games behind. Need some L's this week. I was on the field prior to Saturday's game and briefly met Frank Coonelly. Also heard his inter...

That win did some damage, back down to the 9th pick.

Top 10 seems secure, 2.5 games clear. They're also 2.5 out of 6th.

The pitching is weird, they're definitely more effective than they look just watching them. They're all capable of and probably will put up some real duds but each is also capable of putting up some really good starts. One thing that makes them seem less inspiring is the lack of a guy you can really...

IDC, I like DK's Buccos columns and find them to be cathartic. Does anyone really trust this FO to attempt to rebuild a contender after blowing it up? I'd trust them to build it back up, they've proven once they can do it. It's once their within striking distance that they've shown they're either n...

The Pirates slipped into the 7th pick last night. Half game clear of the A's, Padres and Braves. 1.5 out of the 6th spot and 2.5 out of 5th.

6th selection seems like their ceiling at this point.

It's hard to see them being any good next season unless they're willing to make a significant move or two over the offseason. Whether that's taking advantage of the protected pick and adding a FA (3B?) or significant trades. I'm hoping that the team limping to the finish at least forces the FO to n...

We did the Walmart pickup for the first time this past weekend. Parked, loaded and backed out in 3 minutes, perfect.

Agree on the produce, I was worried they'd just give us a bunch of junk but everything we got was really nice.

As of this morning the Pirates and Blue Jays are tied for what would be the 10th/11th picks in next years draft. Both are just a half game clear of the Marlins. Also, Atlanta (9th - 1GB), San Diego (8th - 2.5GB) and Oakland (7th - 3.5GB) could be within reach if they suck enough down the stretch. S...
