Hey, I'm late to the party, but weights and stuff.
Five foot ten and one-hundred and thirty-six pounds.
I've been losing weight too fast without putting it back on as muscle.

Meanwhile, in Japan, the term for someone who is a blind follower is a 'horse's ass.'
I mention this because for fuck's sake, my best friend is killing himself and won't listen to reason.
Take a fucking break, man.

I'm 120-odd kilos (~250lb) and about 6'. Neither extreme is very much fun.

I have never before in my life had to come into work on a project outside of class when time in class was allowed for working on it. It's not a pleasant situation to have to devote more of my free time to the class than I spend in its listed hours, which I believe I will have done after tonight. Taking fucking metalsmithing was the worst class choice I've ever made, but since I have made it 7 semesters without a single drop, I am not going to fuck up the record now. I'll just have to tough through it (also I don't think I can drop it at this point in the semester; I would just get an F).

EDIT: To clarify, I mean more of my free time is being spent working in the actual classroom (because I don't have soldering equipment at my apartment, etc). It wouldn't be very bad at all if I could do it at home.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

EDIT: I've solved the problem. It's extraordinarily stupid, but it's at least feasable.

I hope it involves a million zombie hamsters on wheels.

Damn, why didn't I think of that? In fact I think about everything could be improved by the addition of a million zombie hamsters on wheels.

Last time this happened, I ended up on a crash diet and going down to 104 pounds.  It wasn't the most entertaining.

Of course, I feel like a prick for mentioning this when I weigh about 150% of MoM, but whatever.  Maybe I should just stop talking about it before my conscious tries to jump out of my throat and kill me.
This thread is big enough for the both of you, plus everyone else. Don't keep your sad inside because someone else's is bigger. Or smaller, as the case may be. Speaking of which, my knight gland has gone errant. To the PM box, Barbarossa!

Had my father drive me to work. 20 minutes of throwing around guilt.

Way to go, dad! Make it worse...
I feel like crying now.

Can't really force you guys to eat more, i can point to foods that can keep your body maintained without having it piled up on your plate.

I think spending a sedentary Winter has taken a toll on my health. While helping my friends move in this afternoon, I felt terribly out of shape; sure, I was carrying boxes upon boxes of metal cookware up 3 stories, but it shouldn't have been that bad.

Additionally, over the last few days, I've been getting a weird discomfort under the top half of my sternum/at the bottom of my throat. I can't tell if it's cardiovascular or respiratory, but it's not like a sore throat at all. It's just sort of stiff and sore-feeling internally. I don't really feel it unless I am breathing deeply or my heart is beating heavily, but it's very strange. It's much fainter than it was now, but it feels unhealthy, and I can't identify what it is. Health insurance would be a wonderful thing right now, as I'd really like to have a physical more often than every 5 years, not to mention a new pair of glasses or a dental exam.

I am not a doctor, but I'll try and help anyhow. I have experienced a similar feeling, though it generally covers most of my sternum, not just the top.

After I run for longer than I normally do (10 miles or so is about the threshold) or if I'm breathing extraordinarily hard. Some common examples other than at the end of a long run are after running the 1600m or 3200m race, both of which require some crazy breathing, or after a session of playing my Baritone Horn. After talking to a physician, I found that it is because I have a relatively narrow torso and I naturally have a lower lung capacity because of this. When you breathe, your ribs expand outwards to accommodate the expansion of the lungs. To do this, the joints where your ribs meet your sternum flex slightly. Because I've developed my lungs quite a bit with all my running and low-brass-instrument playing, my joints flex slightly more than normal. It's not life threatening, but it isn't normal. Generally your joints there don't flex as much as mine do, and it screws with some muscles in the area. Because of the tasks that I do that cause this, my heart is generally beating quickly and I'm breathing heavily, so that's another parallel with you.

Again, I'm not a doctor. This is just a story of a man who also has an occasionally stiff and sore feeling sternum at times after exercising.

Is needing to spit after heavy exertion normal? I do some exercise, and I get this spit in my throat that is hot and bad.

Ah that, its build up mucus to protect your throat getting raw which pretty much you choke on, its normal and gargle it out with water.

I have a surprisingly painful ulcer on one side of my mouth and an infected cut on the other.

I think I'll skip dinner tonight.
