Because people need to hear it that's why. Coddling people doesn't work. And a fit bit won't help if you don't move. He's trying "something", just not something that will help him.

I don't compete in the GI. I train in it rarely. That's not the point. If you do compete in Gi you need a gi. There is no sport you need a fit bit for. Nice try though!

I don't work as a trainer anymore. Haven't for many years. Why do I put up posts like this? I work in healthcare. I see the effects of poor lifestyle every day in my hospital. Seeing a 21 year old man who's 450 pounds and can't walk playing with his new Fitbit, saying how cool it is. Same guy who can't hold down a job…

I have the means, just not the inclination. I don't have a computer in my home(or a TV). I am using a smart phone, which I have to have for work. Just because I can afford 100$ yoga pants and a fit bit doesn't mean I should buy one. And I'm not here to be lovey dovey with people. I'm not here to be a role model or motivate…

Best movie. Tied with reservoir dogs for #1 in my book.

I would argue that NOT watching TV and having to run outside in the cold to pee and poop several times a day would probably help a lot of people lose weight. Scrubbing clothes by hand? Probably better cardio than an elliptical machine! I need to market this..

MFP is a free tool. That's why it's popular. I think weight loss tools can be helpful. You can't deny however, that there is an entire industry of supplements (yes "pills" is a general term I used to mention such things..not like I'm talking about illegal narcotics or steroids), fitness equipment, and gadgets designed to…

I'm not here to lose weight. I'm a competitive athlete. I can't fight and train safely without the proper equipment required for the sport. If I just wanted to lose weight and wasn't competing I'd do just as my mom did. I should market the "Mom Diet" bet some fool would be willing to pay money for it.

Those are just examples. Do you need a list of all the gimmicks and pills and supplements that people spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars on? Come on now..

Thankfully I don't care about offending people. If people want to spend their hard earned dollars on crap they don't need then of course that's their perogative. It's curious however, that the same crowd are often the first to complain about "how expensive things are these days, and families just can't make ends meet…

As usual...people take a statement and make assumptions. I said EXPENSIVE workout clothes. You don't need 100$ yoga pants to do yoga. They will not make you better at yoga. By all means though...spend thousands of dollars on *kitten* you don't actually need because a TV commercial tells you so, only to lose weight…

Welcome and good luck. I'm kind of a blunt *kitten* but I mean well. Are you exercising?

Everyone judges. That's life. If you're fat and proud, be fat and proud. Why give Fu#k$ what other people say and think? I live an unconventional life by mainstream society's standards, but I own that and accept that some people are just *kitten*$ and ignore accordingly. Learn to live in the land of don't give a $h!t what…

You're kidding right? That's like asking if you can be a pro football player but go to practice once a week.

Flip her the bird, and learn to live in the land of "give no fooks" about what strangers think.

Why wouldn't it be? People have been dieting for decades. Way before for bits and the internet. Eat less move more and you'll lose weight.

If a guy is "unfriendzoned" he was never in it to begin with..

Sneeze a lot because i'm allergic to cats

Kids are different though. To me the spousal stuff seems like a smokescreen.

Oh hell no! Just an observation.

How big are you now? If that's you on the left in the picture you're already really skinny so it would take extreme dieting to get smaller as your caloric needs would be low even to maintain. Also, weight training? What's your muscle to fat ratio?

My choice would be non conventional

Unspeakable things

Totally. Oh wait I don't drink

Omg. Like teachers don't have enough to worry about. How about you just send an apple or something and just let it go?

Not here to lose weight so N/A.

MT kickboxing, Brazilian jiu jitsu, MMA

I have never met someone who owns a fit bit who is more fit than they would be if they did not own one. So unless you just like the way they look as an accessory or a cool bracelet save your money
