Yo, I don't care what y'all do,how y'all do or where y'all do it, just keep it gangsta and never pay for an av change, have someone else do it- Ya boy Pixie

Someone said to divide your weight by two and that's how many ounces you're supposed to drink a day and apparently 71oz isn't quenching mah thirst. I'm drinking more water than usual, like a lot! I'm not a diabetic or anything. I heard drinking more water can cause heart failure and mess with my electrolyte count or some poo poo. How long I got goons? :barf:

Drink when you're thirsty then stop when you're not thirsty anymore.

Why is it people are always eating too much or eating too little? Diet scientists need to make up their loving mind

That's what I'm saying! I've gotten blood work done and everything. I'm as healthy as a piece of broccoli. They did say I was 14lbs overweight though :gerty:

Proteus4994: Jan 2, 2001; Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

I'm not very tall, so 140lbs is a overweight for me. Real talk though, I think all that monsanto produce stunted my growth.

nothing wrong with a gallon a day (esp in the summertime). it makes u feel/look good (like the opposite of how u would feel if u ate 20 mcnuggets on ur lunch break) and keeps u from wanting to snack on garbage or overeat in general.

That explains why my skin cleared up. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to go get laid and celebrate 9/11 the right way!

If that was your interpretation of the doctor saying, "You're going to be a vegetable," I've got bad news for you.

Are you like 4 feet tall because I'm 5'8" and 165~ and right on the cusp of overweight (even though I wear like size 32 pants and small shirts, wtf?).

you are just kinda stubby and misshapen, even if you got swole and were in perfect health your proportions would be all wrong and youd still have the same face

You know my hair went from a jet black color to a light brown in a span of like 4 months. Any advice on that Doc?

The sun can do that but it doesn't make any sense because where would you get sun exposure from?

Edit: Actually wait, I'm 5'8. I dated a girl that was 6'2 in May and there wasn't that big of a height difference.
Just about, I'm 5'2 last time I checked, could be taller though on account of I'm still a growing boy, I'm not even old enough to legally drink yet.
