^^AGREED! SMH...They have just as much right to be on the machine as you do and can do it at their own pace. At least they are in a gym walking and not at home on a couch. This kind of reaction from people like you is one of the reasons LOTS of people stop going to a gym in the first place, your sense of entitlement could…

Those girls I am sure get ENOUGH comments and stares that had you added your comments in a moment of cruelty could have been something they remembered for a long time...all so you could have slept better at night no…

I asked my nutritonist this question last week and she said: You need half your body weight in water so that is 98.5 ounces of water a day, or 3 liters. THEN SHE GAVE ME THIS PAPER THAT SAID: If you eat a healthy diet, about 20 percent of your water may come from the foods you eat. If you eat a healthy diet you can drink…

I got theBiggest Loser workout that they used 2 seasons ago during an on tv challenge and let me tell you...it is amazing! It logs your body frame and will give suggested workouts...

Here is a website that lets you know how many calories you burn having sex or during foreplay and tons of "other" things....all of this is based on your weight, your age and height...my FITBIT is almost spot on with most things on this site... http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc Hope I helped end the debate from…
