If you read my post, i said i didn't recall what happened in the episode, all I remember is him being a jerk and saying he married a fat woman because he likes fat women and didn't expect her to eventually decide to lose weight. I never said she deserved abuse, I was not sure what people were talking about when they…

I see. I thought someone in the thread mentioned that she had previously posed online on a fetish website. I know Pauline used to do that. The fat acceptance movement isn't the same as fat fetishism. And fat fetishists are not necessarily feeders, but most of the dudes on this show seem to be specifically into…

Fat fetishists, or "feeders" prefer for their women to be fat and are turned on by their partner getting fatter. I don't condone these men being abusive, but if they are meeting their wives on fat fetishist websites, that in itself is saying "i don't want you to lose weight." It's not about "not minding" that someone is…

Agree. Additionally, what is a lesbian woman who dresses provocatively trying to accomplish? She's obviously not desperate for male attention.

My fiance is attracted to women, so if he saw an attractive woman he would probably think she's attractive. I can't read his thoughts - don't really care to - and he isn't going to dump me because he saw some chick in a bathing suit. You are really insecure and assume that everyone is as insecure as you.

It is lame. It's really gross to see women who are so misogynistic. If I see a girl wearing a bikini top and short shorts at the supermarket, I assume she is either on her way from or to the beach, not that she is desperate for attention.

Why does a woman need to be begging for attention in order to dress a certain way? That's my issue with the things you've said in this thread. It's like the other poster saying that women who wear makeup are stupid. If it's not your thing, whatever, but don't assume you know why others do what they do. Women who dress…

I think that Marla wanted to get the surgery to improve her life but then realized that it would mean doing work and taking care of herself. Her kids waited on her hand and foot and spoiled her like a baby, so much so that she felt like she never needed to even try to walk again. That's the strangest part about her…

My fiance and I were gaping at the tv, too. He was absolutely horrified by the splits thing. Then we were cracking up when she fried the chicken in bed. I was also agape at everything she ate in the beginning of the episode. The chicken strip "tacos" with a slice of bread as the shell and thousand island dressing. 4 jimmy…

Take a multi-vitamin with iron. Eat a cereal you like instead of one you don't like. Not sure why you needed to post a whole thread about this.

The topic that you posted is so frequently brought up that regulars created a game out of it. If new people used the search function and read up on things instead of posting new threads on topics that are covered on a daily basis, the boards wouldn't be filled with "ugliness" IMO. I know people are going to argue and…

It would help if you told us what program you were doing so we didn't suggest it to you... Stronglifts 5x5, ice cream fitness, starting strength, stumptuous routines.. google is your friend (when I wanted to start lifting just googled "beginner weight lifting routines"). If you started gaining weight, you were no longer in…

Agreed. I love robin eggs. They are basically just whoppers.

I'm pretty sure tlc pays for everything (surgery, Dr. Now), but not sure about that. Weight loss surgery is often covered by insurance as a lifesaving surgery, not an elective but that depends on how obese and how many obesity related problems the patient has. Lower income people are statistically heavier than high income…

They seem to be low income based on their home, maybe they didn't have insurance/resources to get help. It was very sad, and I felt bad for Chay's loss, but he was just making tons of excuses even before his grandma passed. I'm glad that Dr. Now shut him down with "white bread and wheat bread have the same calories." One…

Chay's grandmother was obese and died of a heart attack. If that isn't enough to make him want to change, I don't know what is.

30 mins daily cardio is great if you are in a caloric deficit. I read what you originally said as you'd been working out daily all along (while overweight and before trying to lose) and he said it wasn't enough, which is true for a surplus. I wasn't aware you were in Germany, I don't know anything about corporate…

Had you mentioned to him that you have a past that includes losing weight and gaining it back? He was definitely rude, but I'd like to know if he said this out of nowhere or in response to something you told him. He is correct that 30 minutes cardio is not enough to counterbalance a large caloric surplus. People tend to…

Pretty sure the orange stuff is supposed to be carrot juice.

I don't know what thread you're talking about, but anyone who tells you that you gain less fat on a surplus of "clean" food doesn't know anything about how the human body works. Go forth and eat the foods, please. If I had an extra 900 calories a day... I would put more mayo on my sandwiches (using 1/2 a serving now), eat…

Probably because it is harder to calculate the calories burned from weight lifting. Cardio is usually done with your heartrate elevated at a steady state or up/down in intervals (HIIT). If you know your weight and average heartrate you can attach a calorie value to it. Weight lifting is a lot of sitting around and resting…

I don't know why every thread you post in turns into an argument about you. You complained about "barely losing." That's where this all came from. And now I will back away.

Tracking would mean you would find out that you are eating more than you think. If you are barely losing, you are eating close to maintenance. Either that, or you have a really low metabolism from chronic undereating, like melanieliving said. Don't know why you're not following this.

Guys, it's myfitnesspal, not mybutthurtpal. Get with it. Note: i posted this without reading the thread. I am just assuming there's a lot of arguing in them there 4 pages

You said you are barely losing eating a 'small' meal and a 'large' meal. Since you aren't tracking, I'd guess you are eating larger meals than you think you are, calorie-wise.

I prefer eating little things spaced throughout the day with one large meal in the evening. Ultimately it doesn't matter, though. Whatever keeps you in your goal range is the right thing for you.

I alternate between mid range (5x5) and 1 rep max weights on major lifts. I've seen significant strength gains doing this after stalling out on traditional 5x5 workout plans. I prefer lighter weights and 8 or 10 rep sets for accessory moves.

You will lose all of the pounds. All of them.

It's called a deadlift because you are lifting from a dead-stop (off the floor) Grip is according to your comfort. Mixed or double overhand - both are correct. Sounds like this trainer doesn't know a whole lot. Make sure you are doing the following: bar tracks legs the entire time, legs hip width, bar over lace-line on…
