banner ads are the ads popping up on top and right for products to buy. :)

they are making .0015 cents every time I visit (about 1/10 of a cent). They make money on impressions as well as clicks, right? this is interesting.

Their staff... maybe 10 people? not sure? I guess their yearly expense are $1 million. a wild guess. so turning a tidy profit of $1 million and giving 35% to the government. a nice business!

I'm very happy to see this. The banner ads I can live with considering this is a free site. This tells me that MFP will go on indefinitely and probably their biggest threat will be other free sites in the future. But with all this momentum I doubt they would ever go the way of myspace. MFP by being free promotes long term…

mfp is usually way off. machine is much closer usually. take your pulse for 5 seconds in you do regular cardio. then use online calculator http://www.calories-calculator.net/Calories_Burned_By_Heart_Rate.html best is HRM though. even those can be wrong. very best is a VO2 max test. Then you know. but that changes with time…

love the negativity. love to hear from the glass half empty people. lol. yes, i'm being sarcastic. actually, its about 50/50. lots of people positive too. if you're going to offer something objective though I would love to hear it. another study that offers different information for example. subjective opinions.. hmmm. not…

Also, I just got my bloodwork back. Everything was spectacular. Doc was very happy and surprised. But still recommended to lose the rest of my weight of course. But I was already doing all 4 of the recommendations. I would actually say now that overall I am living healthier than most "thin" people. I get more exercise for…

in FAT PEOPLE CAN BE AS HEALTHY AS THIN PEOPLE Comment by peterdt February 2013
that's a very good question. there should be a study on that too. i think it is unwise though to assume the answer to this question as it seems you are doing.

in FAT PEOPLE CAN BE AS HEALTHY AS THIN PEOPLE Comment by peterdt February 2013
If you don't believe it then look into the study. Read it. It looks pretty solid to me. If you have another study that refutes this one I'd love to see it. I really would.

in FAT PEOPLE CAN BE AS HEALTHY AS THIN PEOPLE Comment by peterdt February 2013
I agree with most of these points. But many have to do with your own thoughts about yourself. Which you can eliminate with the right frame of mind. I could add many points to the list too. Quality of life is definitely affected for most overweight people. The article says nothing to the "quality" of life. It just says that…

I did not want to comment at all on this topic since I'm a white guy. I thought just to post it and let it be food for thought. I guess what you say is true for all woman. LIke to see a survey about this topic for all woman and I wonder why they singled out black woman.

The rate of obesity has increased dramatically in the 3 decades too. It's all that cheap, easy and highly advertises processed foods. also, all the crappy diet advise we've been getting. I think good advise is finally coming to the fore though.
