Seeing a trainer does not an expert make!

You know, it's a shame they didn't believe that in schools ... I may have received better grades in PE if they didn't force us to run further than 1/4 mile!

OMG...and I just reread the part about cardio and running being bad for you...I wonder where the 'trainer' was certified?

I think maybe the trainer is "certifiable":laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Seriously, you know what works for YOU!! So keep on keepin' on. I have two friends that are on the "I can't lose weight" bandwagon, and I have pitched MFP to them until I am blue in the face. One of them has made an effort to log her foods, but she is under so much stress due to family and financial issues that the best she can do is not gain anymore. The other spends all her energy coming up with reasons why she "can't" do anything about her situation.

You would think my ticker would give her a clue that what I am doing works, but it is like talking to a wall. Good luck with your run, JStarnes. I am a ways away from thinking about doing anything that strenuous, and I am older than you, so it may never happen, but I applaud you for having the goal, and dreaming the dream.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

:laugh: yes very amusing.

Approximately 30 years ago, the UK went that way you know. Instead of "forcing" kids to run and jump about, they let them do more docile things in games and PE, stuff that wouldn't entail them getting out of breath.

The result? Obesity on a scale that was unheard of when they did make kids run and jump about.

The schools have moved back now to how it used to be and good on them I say, kids sitting about being lazy at that young age is a crime, it is bad enough now with them sitting in front of their computers and Xboxes all day
