5 lbs of feathers weight the same as a 5 pound bowling ball

It's not my place to determine whether someone lives or dies. I don't agree with the death penalty in any circumstances. This is why I didn't get a job with the prosecutors office in GA.

I "ran" at 336, but I'm also 5'10" (it was really slow - about 4.0 on a treadmill). I didn't have any joint problems, but I was also an athlete just a few years ago. I gained a bunch of weight after a traumatic death in my family. I would recommend looking into your local pools and doing some swimming or water jogging. A…

I've got two sprints coming up: Iron girl in Atlanta - late May Eleven Global - in June Trying to decide about adding Augusta 70.3 in the fall.

PW: 245 CW: 240 Lost most of the Easter weight. Now I just need to get back to where I was at the end of the last challenge!

What a wanker! Don't even worry about her. Your weight is perfectly normal. When I was at a normal weight, I know that I have to carry 10 lbs or so more than a lot of my friends because I feel and look sickly otherwise. Don't let her issues become your issues.

I wouldn't worry about it. I started running at 336 lbs. Several marathons, half-marathons, and triathlons later...I've lost a bunch of weight. I still have a long way to go, but when I'm running I feel awesome! I'm glad that I have a support community at my gym (for the most part). I get lots of compliments and high fives…

Nike Training Club for ipod, iphone, ipad is good for body weight circuits.

Call it what it is. I hate to hear 13 year old kids using baby language for their private parts and various body functions. It drives me insane. As far as the naked stuff, I think we all worry too much about the naked body as a society. Being naked is not a dirty thing. It's not about sex or sexual gratification. Those are…

I used to get a lot of hate in high school when I was playing sports with the boys. I was called a slut and various other names by jealous girls because I was talking to the boys they liked. It's stupid but it's how a lot of girls and women operate. But in your case, it doesn't seem to me that these are specifically…

A break is a good way to put it. It's a day where you don't have to worry about it. If I eat bad foods everyday it doesn't work. I need one a day week where I have a higher calorie count in order to drop weight. It's just the way my body works.

Wouldn't that happen when my diet paid me to cheat?

Seems to me that there are a lot people on this thread who have lost a lot of weight who can attest to the fact that "off days", "cheat days", "I eat whatever the eff I want" days work for their bodies. It takes self-control to only do it once a week or month. I don't think about what I"m eating on my cheat day. That's the…

I cheat at solitaire - does that count?

Faulty logic....just because something is good for you in one aspect of your life does not mean that it is good for all aspects of your life....

I justified with the scale because it's the easiest measuring tool most people have. But all of my numbers are getting better. I have normal blood pressure, blood sugar, pulse rate, etc. The more my weight goes down the better my numbers get. Anyway, to address the specific issue......I've lost weight before and was unable…

Me too! I don't care what you call it. It works for me.

SW: 245 Goal Weight: 210

Horseback riding :wink:

Social D is awesome!

Here's my thing...if you have a medical condition that is causing you to gain weight - go to a doctor and figure out what you can do to fix it. If you sit around and complain about how you have this or that, you are failing to take responsibility for yourself. It's not about trashing someone or telling they they suck at…

I would never cut out fruit. I've cut out all processed sugar (candy, cookies, cake, ice cream, etc.). I need to get the sweet tooth satisfied in some way otherwise I will go back to those other things. I don't eat fruit late in the day unless I'm working out at a later hour. I try to limit my carbs after 2 pm anyway.

^^^yep!

I totally agree. I'm a dog owner who is furious when others have their dogs off their leashes. It's not fair to my dogs (who are both rescues that cannot handle being off the leash) that your loose dog can come up and attack them and they can't fight back. It pisses me off. I also find it hard to believe that someone on a…

I got fat for two reasons. 1. I ate too many calories each day; 2. I stopped working out. I was on fertility drugs, have thyroid issues, PCOS, etc., etc.....These are all excuses. There's no magic trick to losing weight. If there was, no one would be fat.

What if you had that job? Would you be expected to come home and take care of the children? Don't take things so personally. There are a large majority of husbands that don't help with the kids for whatever reason. Also, the advice would be different if it is a single parent (either because there is no spouse or because of…

My son is 9 months old. I have a treadmill at home that I'll use when I can't get to the gym. I will run on it during his naps. My husband and I have a schedule worked out, so we can both get to the gym. We both work. I go on Monday, Wednesday, and he goes on Tuesday, Thursday during the week. We both go on Saturday and…

Date: Wednesday 3/28 Activity: Swimming, 60 minutes Calories burned: 765 calories Weekly total: 1639 calories

I love being multiracial - year round tan, no need to go to the tanning bed or lay out in the sun for hours. I personally think that all tanning is boring and stupid. But that's just me.

PW: 239 CW: 236 That makes for 50 lbs total loss since I started back with this site! Go me!
