    whats -40c?

    Canadian

    Typical american answer - metric is not a "canadian" thing. There's only 3 countries in the world (US and 2 other 3rd world countries) that still use the backwards imperial system, maybe it's time for the US to step it up a notch.

    If you dont like it stay out.
    You need all the tourism you can considering your country is on the verge of bankruptcy.

    Dude! What-eva!!!

    Hey, you got $17,000,000,000,000 to help a brother out?

    Well, he may have been truly concerned since it was cold outside. It is true the you will get warm later but starting out it would be cold. You have to do what is best for you to meet your goals. He is going to say what he wants. Accept that this is how he is and what he does. Don't let it bother you. Either he will stop saying things because he will accept what you are doing. Or you will proceed as planned and meet your goals.

    He gets it, all right. He gets that if you go out in -40 windchill without a hat, and your ears get frostbitten, then he gets the job of driving you to the doctor and listening to you complain about how it hurts.

    For the love of Mike, have some sense.

    I was kidding.

    And I'm also half Canadian.
    Frankly, I believe the US should use the metric system.
    Would've made all of my engineering and science classes better.
    Less conversions.
    For reals. And in the real world. Also, why the hell is the EIT in metric, but the PE in imperial?!

    My husband has said he is afraid I'll get skinny and leave him. I assure him I'll NEVER be a skinny woman, but I want to be strong and healthy to insure I'll have a long life with him. That being said, he always worries when I walk alone even though I carry pepper spray, but he just plain worries.

    seemed like he was just concerned for your well being. Is there more to this? running in -40 windchill is a bit extreme. Maybe time to invest in a treadmill or gym membership.

    thanks for some help and no thanks to the rude people on here attacking me!!

    He doesn't do it every time, just when i go out running in a sports bra.. I think he doesn't want others to see me?? I only started running since new years.

    Also not canadian lol! I live in michigan!

    It's too cold to run in a sports bra. If I saw a woman running in a sports bra with a -40F windchill (and I'm in MN), I would offer them a ride because they're obviously running from an attacker -- otherwise they'd be properly dressed for the weather. You risk frostbite even though you're moving. Google pictures of frostbite, it can be horrific.

    Don't allow whatever other issues you and DH have to override your health and well-being.
  • lol im in the same boat, my boyfriend gets so jealous. he wants me fat, because he worries that if i get thin, ill leave him. sometimes you just have to ignore them on those comments, and just communicate your love for them no matter your size. the only thing i do agree with his is you probably shouldnt be running in -40 windchill, frost bite will set in in around 10-15 minutes. next time its that cold, just try working out in the house. i bought wii active for the days when it's too cold to go outside, it gives me both strength and cardio to do, and its only 20 minutes of my life. if i dont feel challenged enough, i can always do one of the preset or custom work outs as well.

    -40 windchill is extremely cold and extremely dangerous.

    I honestly cannot tell if this is a trolling post or if you are serious because this seems insane to me - and I'm from Iowa where it gets just as cold.

    Can't you buy a treadmill or something for when it is so cold out?
  • three years ago I had lost over 70 pounds and went from size 20 to size 10 over a year and still had more to go. One day I decided to surprise him when he walked in and I was in teddy. he said oh you look nice and went into the other room. I waited a few minutes and said does this not motivate you and he said NO. My heart sank I could not believe what he said. I got so depressed I I have almost gain all of it back. Now her am having do all this work again this time I told him not to say anything negative about me..I let him win then now no. I told him you may want to large and out of shape but I don't. I wont ask you to come to the gym and you don't stop me. So its been three weeks so far so good. Just tell him I know what I am doing good luck to you

    Girl, ignore him and do it for you. My hubby doesn't get it either. Or maybe he gets it too much. Now, whenever I eat anything (even just 1 bite) he asks me if I'm adding to my roll. Really? Umm, I needed encouragement, not that. Whatever, it makes me want to push harder. Us girls, we gotta stick together. Go workout. If you are comfy wearing a sports bra running, do that, too. BE YOU! He'll just have to get with the program.

    I would've cried...right then and there...and then proceeded to a date with BOB.

    I hear you, my gym opened late this morning so I said I guess I'll just go into work an hour late - and he says oh no don't do that! Men :P

    This guy is dead weight! Good lord, drop him before he turns you into one of those bedridden fat sacks you see on TLC.

    I know right, his priorities are so off - I think he was just mad that I was driving over the snow on the driveway before he could snow-blow it, thus making it a requirement that he shovel instead of snow blow. So lazy.

    once I get my permit ill be carrying a gun if I walk alone....if its pepper spray it will be the one that shoots a 13ft stream at 90mph kimber pepper blaster.....the spray has to be up close and you will be in range yourself

    I think he genuinely is concerned for you maybe next time suggest he come with you. I think it's hard when our husbands seeing us change but nurture them and fill him up with praise let him know you might change your life style but your heart still be!songs to him.

    If your husband's not getting it from you he'll get is somewhere else. You might want to rethink that.

    Only you would know if he is genuine or trying to sabotage your efforts. A lot of us go on and on about our weight loss/ increased fitness because we are so proud of ourselves and some spouses just don't understand it or get bored with hearing it.

    I would say that -40 windchill is really cold, so at least wear hats, gloves and good socks and running shoes. I used to do a lot of running for hash house harriers in the past and when it was snowing and cold, I had a rain mac type coat. it was thin, so easy to wear and carry if I got too hot, but also is waterproof and keeps the windchill off. as long as you are safe and warm, then carry on with your efforts.

    In my experience, men do love their partners looking better and better, but either enjoy other men looking, knowing they can't touch... or if they are insecure, hate it if other men are looking. Only you know which one is your husband. That said, you should be doing this for you, no one else. Good luck x
