There's a difference between fasting for a week and fasting for a month. That being said, there are instances where you can fast a long while, but I won't get into that since you're too hateful to be bothered with. Just go away. I can't block you, but I will start ignoring you.

Wrong again. You're the only one acting like a fool and not listening. But this is CP... I just wish there was a way to block people like you so I can speak the to intelligent ones here. But, hey... you go and get angry about everything while staying ignorant. Laugh all you want, but actually pick up a book. You won't.

Chronical pain will do that for you (Lookup Crohn's disease).
He's written before about fighting pain killer addiction, that doesn't help either.

Oh, and stop USING CAPS. It only shows the rest of the world you cannot have a conversation without getting upset. This is where you lie about that too, because this is CP... a place for immature kids. This chat is no better than one found on FB and not worth my time.

Ofcourse I get upset, you little twat! This is important!
You come talking sh*t about food, I get upset. Also, thanks for proving my point; if you had any arguments, then there would not be this ad hominem.

So, here's the thing. I have been stress eating for the last 6 months while looking for a job, as the savings account dwindles to dust. I have no idea what my "BMI" is. I went to a bariatric doctor 35 years ago, and he put me on a 500 calorie a day diet and hunger suppressants on steroids. They measured me with some kind of device an discovered I have "heavy bones". so, while body fat ratio is supposed to be 19%, mine should be 22%.
I have been seesawing up and down ever since. I last went on Nutrisystem and got down to 214 pounds from 252. I'm back up there but afraid to weigh myself.
I have decided to say to hell with it.

First, congrats on losing the weight in the past. At least you know it's possible now.
Second, please don't listen to a soul on CP. If that means you don't listen to me as well, then so be it. But the folks here will gladly pretend to be knowledgeable on a subject they know little about, just to argue and feel superior.
Sorry to complain, but if you're willing to hear me out...
You ever wonder why some people can eat the same thing and have different body responses? It's a two part answer. One is body type. Some folks will always be skinny, etc. The other is hormones. For instance, if I have a single donut but I'm active and happy... no big deal. If I have a single donut while I'm stressed and insulin resistance... it's a big deal.
Body type we cannot control. The other we can. I've been up and down with my weight too, so I know it's totally easier said than done.
But, you have to find your why first. Without that, nothing will work. It'll be temporary at best. Finding your why will help with those emotions and thus help with your body's chemical responses to them.
And also, your environment matters. Who you hang out with matters. If you start hanging around fit people, you'll naturally want to get fit too.
Wishing you the best buddy. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Finding out your BMI is easy if you weigh yourself and know your height: BMI Calculator | Check Your Body Mass Index | Patient[^]
Basically, if you are 214lbs, you need to be 6' plus to be a "safe weight". Remember that excess weight stresses your joints, your heart, and your breathing - as well as apparently causing diabetes and some forms of cancer.
If you can get your weight down, you will probably live longer, and in better health.
But as always, it's a personal choice - I'm not going to lecture anyone or badger them into dieting.

Be careful about changing your diet too quickly.
I know at least two people that went on diets where they eliminated all oils and fats overnight when they used to eat fried foods daily. Both of them had gall bladders removed a few months later.
Not a scientific study, but seems causal to me.

Hauled in a new client last week and they're using Crystal Reports.
Needless to say, I'm not to happy about that.
Luckily, he only has a few reports and he's willing to switch if I come up with a good alternative.
The problem is, I don't have any.
Looking for lists of alternatives gives me stuff like Power BI, Tableau and Qlick, which are BI tools and not report generators.
What I need is a report designer that my client can use to create or modify some reports.
I need stuff like invoices and packing slips, one or two A4 pages.
Preferably something that also works in the cloud (not the editor, but generating the reports from code).
I've seen DevExpress, but I can't really figure out if they have a stand-alone report editor.
And because it comes with lots of components, it's quite expensive (the customer, not I, will be paying for the license).
Also looking at List & Label, which looks promising.
Any experiences with these tools, or other recommendations?

If in report, you need to do a lot of calculations and formatting using different type of datasets and if the current technology related to MS, then you can try 'Microsoft Report Builder".
If your reports are simple, you can render the report in html and convert it into pdf using ITextSharp library.

Microsoft Report Builder doesn't look very state of the art and it doesn't have a cloud native counterpart.
It's probably better than Crystal Reports, but I'd still prefer a more modern solution.
Sanjay K. Gupta wrote: If your reports are simple, you can render the report in html and convert it into pdf using ITextSharp library.
I've tried HTML to PDF in the past and I hate it.
HTML simply doesn't know pages or A4 (or A* for that matter) format.
A real pain to get right and very limited in regards to headers, footers, fitting a page, etc.
Besides, my client could never use something like that, and that's a requirement.

Please stay away from MS reports and the SSRS. It's even bigger mess than CR(and that says a LOT!), but without CR many futures.

NB: There's no official support from Microsoft for using SSRS in .NET Core or .NET 5+ applications. You'll either need to use the SSRS REST API directly, or use a third-party library such as lkosson/reportviewercore[^]. And even then, there are still limitations[^].

Yeah, I know it although I've never used it.
Doesn't look very state of the art, and Richard's reply confirms it.
It also can't be used in the cloud, which isn't necessary for this particular project, but would really have my preference.

It's almost out of support. No new futures from years. Doesn't work good with invoice-type documents with a lot of logic.

Thanks, hadn't found that one yet.
