.While I am impressed by the vast amount of knowledge everyone has here in this thread (Google), I am curious how many of you have taken this knowledge and used it for tangible results. What does one do with all the research data requested from other posters. Is it just to win an argument or will it be used to make an…

I would suggest P90X or even Turbo Fire. My wife and I have used P90X and Insanity on a regular basis and lost over 30lbs each. I blog about our journey at www.dietsandexercisesuck.com. Have a look and feel free to ask questions about our experience.

Barilla has a whole wheat plus brand that is excellent. It has additional Omega3 as well as additional fiber.

It seems to me that you suffered the same fate many runners do. They do not do much strength training. Strength training routines allow the tendons and connective tissue to become accustomed to moves that involve rapid directional changes because they have to work to stabilize the muscles during strength training. I am a…

ROTFLMAO!!! :laugh:

I do not think youre wimpy at all. LOL. I dont have a problem with a women choosing lighter or no weights. My question was more curiosity than finger pointing. I know many women who have no desire to do weight training and I dont think they have ever given any real thought to why. I am a fan of weights as well as limiting…

Please read my post before replying. I said most of the women I talk to, not all women or even most women. And since this is a broadcast message in a forum on the internet it is perfectly logical to make broad assumptions based on the information available.

Forget you punk! LOL!

CONGRATS! Welcome to the club!

It is called BREAK-FAST. You are literally breaking the 7-8 hour fast that takes place at night when we sleep. When you wake up in the morning your metabolism is at its slowest. By consuming a healthy, hearty breakfast you jump start your system and provide needed calories to fuel your body for the rest of the day. Think…

I never wanted to grab a person and shake them so bad as I did last night. Tanisha's mother is a horrible horrible parent. Her child was OVER 500 POUNDS! Her mother continued to go to fast food places and eat crap and would not help her daughter eat healthy. And she had the nerve to talk smack about the girls weight loss.…

Seconded. I also want to add, my wife and I have done both P90X (weight training) and Insanity (cardio). I lost 30 lbs doing P90X and 6 lbs on Insanity. In my opinion, weight training creates a greater stress on the total body while cardio has the greater load on the heart and lungs. The increased stress on the body…

Well done! In my opinion, parenting isn't about being perfect. It is about helping our children avoid making the same mistakes we did. I commend you on your efforts.

We dont do Halloween. So we dont have that headache lol.

Please read my post before commenting. I did not call any child directly a freak. There weight problems have made them morbidly (freakishly) obese. No one is saying chase kids around and call them names. I never call my children names. I let them know the realities of unhealthy eating and teach them how to make healthy…

I was not an overweight child. I was an athlete. What I saw as a child was my grandmother get her leg cut off and go blind and die from type 2 (the preventable one) diabetes. I also saw 2 of my favorite cousins die from diabetes and my favorite unvle die of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can be prevented by proper diet and…

No one is chasing these kids around with pitch forks calling them freaks. A child at that age who is over 200lbs is freakishly large. The medical community came up with the terms obese and morbidly(freakishly) obese because fat was not an effective enough descriptor. I am not saying lets demean these kids and call them…

I am far from perfect. But my children are at a healthy weight, know what fruit and vegetables are and prefer healthy food, to junk food, because their parents actually parent them. We educate them on what the difference is between a protein and a carb. They know what saturated fat is and they...GASP...read the labels on…

I do have kids. And yes these kids are freaks and IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT! It is the fault of the PARENTS! The parents sat and watched these kids grow into this massive freakish size and did nothing about it at all! NOTHING! These parents are cruel and neglectful of their children's state of health and it is criminal to not…

I grew up in a household of unhealthy eaters. My parents ate like crap and taught us to eat like crap. I had to become a Marine to get away and learn what healthy eating and fitness were and I am thankful for it. These fat kids are neglected. And it is there parents fault. The only way to address the issue is to claim it…

Look, in all seriousness this should not be this hard. DO NOT DRINK SODA EVER AGAIN! Your body will thank you for it. End of discussion, no ifs ands or buts. NO SODA.

You are absolutely right. These fat kids are freaks. And it is there parents fault. The only way to address the issue is to claim it as an issue and deal with it directly. No sugar coating or eggshell walking. A child should not be that fat at that age. An adult shouldn't be that fat. The 17 year old girl had a starting…

What I do when I'm feeling a little obsessed is plan for my cheat day. SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!! While I don't totally pig out, I do actually make a plan to have something that will be a particularly enjoyable treat to reward my "obsession."

A solution that worked for me, was to go backwards for 2 minutes for every 10 i went forward. Hope that helps.

Dont sweat the Obese label. I am 264, and have done P90X and Insanity. I am a United States Marine and can run for at least 3 miles without stopping but I am still classified as Obese. Remeber: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."~Eleonor Roosevelt

I think it is very important to work out at least six days a week if you are looking to make big changes in your body. It is also important to make sure those six days are not all focusing on the same body parts. Mixing it up allows certain parts to rest. I think anythign less that six days a week will not help you make…
