Should I try to lose more weight?

Swegei asked: Should I try to lose more weight?
I currently weigh 185 pounds (though 183 in the morning). I am 19, 5'11 getting ready to turn 20 this week and I was wondering whether I should lose more weight. I used to weigh 225 at the start of the summer and I honestly didn't realize I weighed/looked so bad. It interfered with my dating life and I knew that girls weren't thrilled with my weight. I was determined to lose weight so I cut soda, fries, and eating after dinner out of my diet and a few months later, I have lost 40 pounds overall.

Girls seem to notice me more but still not like what I want though I feel a lot better about myself which is the best thing. My mom recommended I stay at this weight but I think I should drop 10 more pounds. I think I will be more attractive and feel even better about myself if I do this.

What should I do?

Additional Details
I forgot to mention that I do lift on a regular basis and have not really experienced any extra skin from losing weight aside from just not being toned.

As for dating, I have been told that I have a great personality but I suffered from the the "nice guy" sydroym that has all of the nicest words and funny personality had a fast food diet.

It is starting to change some now.

Princess replies: It all depends on how your body is shaped. Usually, Dietitians check your body weight by height when someone has small, medium, and large body types. Since you are MALE, 5 feet is 110 pounds for medium body type weight range. Since you are 5 feet and 11 inches. Every inch added after 5 feet is 10 pounds for medium body type. If you have medium body type, 11 inches multiplied by 10 is 110 pounds, so you are supposed to be 210 pounds, that is only if you have a medium body type. If you have a small frame body type, then it's minus 10 pounds, which is 200 pounds. And, if you are large frame, then you are supposed to be 220 pounds.

Now, weight is not everything. Going to the gym and doing Cardio first, then other things is a must in order for a girl having to look at you. Also, protein is very important for guys.

I can suggest you have good Carbs for breakfast such as cereals rich in fiber, less sugar, skim milk or lactaid skim milk. Also, egg whites for breakfast any style you want. A cup of coffee, if you like without sugar, but Splenda, Sweet & Low, or Equal.

Drink fresh juice and 8 glasses of water per day. 3 glasses of skim milk or lactaid skim milk per day.
You can break down the hours such as every 2 hours, you'll drink a glass of juice, milk, or have a fruit, or munch on carrots or celery stalks, or even have cucumbers to fill up your appetite.

Walk 20 minutes a day, any chance you get. Expand 5 minutes when 20 minutes get bored.

Lunch, if you are having fast food, ignore the fries and soda, and have grilled food instead. If having home made food, protein all the way, ignore the potatoes, have the whole grain products such as brown rice, parboiled rice, whole wheat bagel, bread, whole wheat pasta. Change your diet a bit, and you'll see a whole new you.

Dinner, don't over eat!!! Have a bowl of chowder, about a cup or two. =0) Also, salads are great, it could be any type of salad, from Greek salad, to Cesar Salad to Fruit salad, whichever you prefer.

Hope you'll follow it.

Should the JobCentre withdraw claims that I was abusive if they have no evidence to support it?

Nigel G asks: Should the JobCentre withdraw claims that I was abusive if they have no evidence to support it?
They claim I was abusive on the phone and that they terminated a call with me

In fact the opposite is true. I hung up on their member of staff in desperation as a result of her appalling attitude. (I assume it is this call that they are referring to, although they haven't even told me which call their allegations relate to).

They only brought up this allegation months later after I finally made an official complaint about them. I haven't been told what I did that could be considered abusive. They appear to agree that I didn't shout or swear or insult anyone. I complained to the office manager and he claims that they didn't record the call and he can't explain to me in what way I was abusive... only that my "behaviour was unacceptable" and that he is glad I realise that I will modify my behaviour in future (I won't... because I don't know what was wrong with my behaviour!).

It's pretty obvious to me that this false allegation was invented to cover their own backs after months of mistakes at every step of my claim.

How can I get them to formally withdraw this false claim?

Princess replies: I know that there's one thing this Detective once told me is that "if you filed a complaint, the other party who you filed the complaint against, cannot file a complain back at you". So, if that company is filing a complain against you, it's unacceptable if you had already done so firstly. It's in the Book of Law and Ethics. Check it out if you'd like.

Princess replies: any of the entrees can be picked as long as you eat half of it, and take the rest to go. That's what a lot of Dietitians recommend.

Drink a glass of water before beginning anything. And, start off with Soup and Salad. If you have more room in your tummy, pick something else out.

If you see anything that is grilled, pick that. Ignore the mayo, ignore the fries. Instead of fries, have baked red potato without sour cream and butter. Ignore Garlic bread. Have the garlic bread to go, for a snack after two to three hours, when you are hungry again. Or ask a friend to finish it for you. Or take it home with you, and put it in the fridge for later.

If it's pork bacon, One bacon is okay and not couple of pieces. Have the other pieces to go. But, if you want more, have turkey bacon instead.

Dessert: Pick the Fruit Crepe with Ice cream (because ice cream cleans out the palate), and have it with Fruit compote instead of whipped cream.

As for Omelet, pick an Omelet without the yolk, without the cheese, and with all the veggie ingredients.

I hope that helps. Also, finish yourself with Water.

Help me figure out the name of this panamanian fruit!?

Syrus asks: Help me figure out the name of this panamanian fruit!?

My family is from panama and there is this fruit we call momones. Now I know there has got to be an english word for these things, they are green (sometimes speckled with black/dark green), about the size of a key lime, the skin is almost like a shell that easily slides off after it is broken with your teeth, the pit is only a little smaller than the entire fruit, and once you have sucked all the juice out of the pulp is almost gummy in texture. They have a bitter-sweet taste. I really am trying to tell my friends about these but without a reference word... and momones just won't work. Bonus points to those who can provide sources.

Princess replies: Mamoncillo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mamoncillo

Mamoncillo leaf and fruit
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Plantae
(unranked): Angiosperms
(unranked): Eudicots
(unranked): Rosids
Order: Sapindales
Family: Sapindaceae
Genus: Melicoccus
Species: M. bijugatus
Binomial name
Melicoccus bijugatus
Jacq.
The mamoncillo (Melicoccus bijugatus) is a fruit-bearing tree in the soapberry family Sapindaceae, native or naturalised over a wide area of the American tropics including Central America, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Guyana, Suriname and the Caribbean. It is also known as mamón (although the word is considered obscene in some Spanish speaking countries), ackee (in St. Lucia, Barbados: in the rest of the Caribbean actually the name of a quite different fruit), chenet (in Trinidad and Tobago), guaya, gnep, ginep, skinnip (in Jamaica,St. Kitts) genip, guinep, ginnip, kenèp (in Dominica, Guyana, Haiti, Belize, Bahamas) quenepa (in Puerto Rico), genepa, xenepa and Spanish lime, limoncillo (in the Dominican Republic).
It is a large tree growing up to 30 m high. The leaves are alternate, 8–5 cm long, pinnate with 4 or 6 opposite leaflets (no terminal leaflet), each leaflet 5–10 cm long. It is grown and cultivated for its ovoid, green fruit, which grow in bunches. The fruit ripen during the summer. The fruit, somewhat like a cross between a lychee and a lime, is classified as a drupe. A mamoncillo fruit has a tight and thin but rigid layer of skin, traditionally cracked by the teeth. Inside the skin is the tart, tangy, cream pulp of the fruit, which is sucked by putting the whole fruit inside the mouth (the seed takes most of the volume of what is inside the skin). Despite the light color of the fruit's flesh, the juice stains a dark brown color, and was often used by indigenous Arawak natives to dye cloth.
Each mamoncillo fruit has a large seed inside, the same ovoid shape as the fruit itself. Mamoncillo seeds can be roasted and eaten just like sunflower seeds or chestnuts.
The mamoncillo has small, greenish-white, fragrant flowers in panicles. They begin to blossom from the branch tips when the rainy season begins. The mamoncillo is an example of a polygamous plant, producing bisexual flowers as well as flowers that are exclusively male or exclusively female. Occasionally, a bisexual flower will have a "dud" (sterile) anther, which limits the number of fruits produced from self-pollination when cross-pollination is possible.
Being tropical, the mamoncillo prefers warmer temperatures. Its leaves can be damaged if the temperature hits freezing point, with serious damage occurring below -4°C. Gardeners of mamoncillos should occasionally give their plants heavy watering during the summer and propagate via seeds; grafting is also used to propagate cultivars.
The mamoncillo is also commonly planted along roadsides as an ornamental tree.
This fruit can be sweet or sour. In the southern areas of Mexico it's generally eaten with chili powder, salt, and lemon. The sweet varieties are generally eaten without condiments of any kind.

it was stored in a dry cool place but was only bought a few weeks ago


Princess replied (2 weeks ago):
First call the place where you bought it from to complain so that you can receive a refund.
If they don't give you a refund, then, call the manufacturer of the company that their product is sold in the store you bought it from and it has mold in it. If the manufacturer doesn't listen, then call the FDA, (The Food and Drug Administration)

And, complain about the food product that you have. :-)

What happens when you drink ur pee? Asked By Brandon

January 18th, 2011

Replied By Princess: "Pee is sterile. It can go through your body twice before it becomes toxic. Some people believe that drinking it in moderation can be healthy, because apparently what is in the pee reflects how the body is working. These people believe that the body recognises the pee and as a result it helps to rectify simple problems in function. In the past I have heard that doctors have actually tasted pee from a patient to guess what was wrong with them. This was on 'horrible histories' which is a British TV program full of bizarre but true things what happened in the past. In the past drinking urine was done much more for health reasons. Now only a small minority of people do it because it is seen as unhygienic. Germ theory was not developed until the late 1800s so people did not know how diseases were spread. You may catch things from drinking other people's pee, but drinking your own is perfectly harmless as long as you do not let it go through your body too many times. In the dessert people have survived off their own pee for a day or two due to lack of water. It all depends on if you would drink your own pee or not. Many people would throw up if they tried lol."

Commenting By Brandon: "good answer im proud of u have u thought of doing jeopardy"
