basically the issue with most folks is eating the wrong things in the wrong portions. and too much sitting.

I'll still be friends. But I would be the friend that sits at watches you work out while I eat donuts. :yum:

:iagree:

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

Yea, people don't realize weight can be totally regulated by diet, no actual exercise needed.

It's called "shutting your pie hole"

You have to exercise forever to burn fat and calories...Just eat less of them..

On the other hand, exercise is more important than "losing weight" as it pertains to physical health. You can carry a gut and be more healthy than a very light person. It's a shame that the medical community still relies on weight/height (BMI) as a measure of fitness. It's bunk. I could show you a picture of two people who are each 6' tall, 250 lbs, where one would be very healthy and the other would be very unhealthy. Both would be considered "obese" by medical standards, even if one was carrying 4% body fat.

I understand the asthma. It's no joke. I don't have it, but I knew people who did. Yes, after you keep doing a mile over and over again, and frequently, the run becomes easy. I would be hesitant to push it, too. Only you know how you feel. Know your body. At least, having a pooch forces you to get out and exercise -- well, at least the conscientious dog owners. Some owners leave their dogs to sit around, get fat, and contract health problems ... just like people! :shakes head: That's why I don't have a dog. It's a big commitment that I don't want right now. I just couldn't leave my dog in the yard or house to just do nothing.

Yup!

It's all about the caloric deficit vs surplus



I hate the BMI... I've always been into fitness, lift weights, running, clean eating etc. I am always considered overweight by the BMI and it's ridiculous... I wish they would move to a % bodyfat scale.


If I let my dog sit around... He'd go crazy! Most people aren't familiar with Wheatens, but his vertical jump is ridiculous and that translates him into jumping on everything. He can easily clear a midsized fence or get up on the counter without even running lol

well, it's good to keep moving your body and to stretch, i think, to prevent injury. that's about all needed for a normal person (given that this person is pretty active). for athletic folks that like doing sports and like spending time at it, then that's great. good time spent.

im more of a musician type and while i am a very healthy and slim guy, i dont need to go out of my way to keep slim. i just adjust wat i eat, especially the portion. :) (btw, i use to be a fat chum)

:iagree:

I feel like I'm tuned in to a Dr. Oz segment.


Let me know when we are back to either talking about boobs or cars.

Thank you!

I work with a new coworker, a young man at the age of 22. He used to be chunky in college. I didn't know him then of course. He got serious about his weight and health, and he got his weight down to normal levels for his height, and he looks great. However, we couldn't appreciate his efforts until he revealed his "before/college" picture to us. We only knew the slim Nick. I applaud his achievements. He does the Insanity workout, and he puts better food in his body.

boobs, Tracie has spoken!
