Show your mom proof that working out revs up your metabolisms- show her studies and then tell her the reality! :)

Hey there I am a TURBO FREAK! :) Ok with that being said- you may have to get more workouts because I know that doing the same ones over and over can get boring- she has more turbo jams and also has turbo fire if you feel you may be ready to really push it up a notch at this point- depending on your fitness level. So, I…

weight watchers made you feel guilty for eating your exercise points. Every leader I had said not to eat them- which was stupid- I ate them and lost a lot of weight- if you don't eat them, you will be super hungry. They have these lame videos but they really don't stress it like they should which is a shame. Muscle mass…

They are insane- I don't like the new system at all- the old point system was easier- but I also found that tracking points for working out was a nightmare- Losing weight before you exercise? What is this? This sounds like the philosophy from the 70's- good LORD!

tell them the discussion is OFF of the table. That you know WW is a great weight loss plan but this works better for you. You do get extra points if you work out with weight watchers but I got SO sick of counting points- I find this so much easier. If they don't leave you alone- tell them they MUST of you will not talk to…

Exactly. I didn't have a mom after I was 8 years old and I don't remember her making rude comments about people's weights. My dad did though and while he was trying to help me, it did make me feel as though I would be loved more

sadly this is old news- I liked their chicken too and good for them for not making their employees work Sundays. But they are SO anti - gay I just don't even want to spend 1 dollar!

nice to meet you and good for you for doing Insanity- it's too insane for me at this point (I actually did a live workout with Shaun T before the workout was launched in NYC so I know how hard this workout is. I also did went on WW - I got tired of the meetings and then couldn't find a meeting I liked- then when I wanted…

I read this post this morning- please read it especially if you talk about being fat to your children- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andrea-wachter/body-image_b_1626005.html?utm_hp_ref=healthy-living

Thank you for GETTING me and what I have to say. You so totally rock!!! I think we live in a sad society where women think that being fit equals looking like a typical male or that being skinny is something they have to do in order to be happy. The reason why models are so thin is because the manufactures of the clothing…

Sadly even as a larger woman 1- I never had trouble finding a job in my profession. 2- I never had trouble keeping my body clean 3- I never had trouble dating 4- I never had trouble going to a pool to swim or the gym 5- I never cared what people thought about me when I eat with them. 6- I never cared about stares from…

Thank you- and it is NONE of my biz what others think of me- thanks for that lovely reminder! :) You're awesome!

No I see anger in women here who want everyone to go along with the AS LONG AS I AM SKINNY I WILL BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY myth. Grow up and move on if you don't agree with my OP. Seriously this is out of control. I did NOT put down skinny people. I am NOT resentful of anyway. Yes, I am so glad there are women on here and men…

Wow you really don't GET Me. I am not jealous of ANYONE. Good lord. All I was saying is that if you're overweight, try to be healthy both inside and out. What do you feel about those who feel they have to starve their bodies in order to love themselves> Wow I feel sorry for you for flaming me! I never used the word STICKS…

To the poster who said I have ONLY lost 7lbs. Actually I had lost 125- put back on 50 and am now down 7. So for you to judge me is really pathetic. I am SO not resentful. I have SO many fit friends who are the most supportive people in the world. I don't resent anyone. My topic is not that I resent skinny women- I resent…

That's exactly what I mean- a lot of women equate fit to being bulky and hard. That is NOT the case. If you want to look fragile than that's your right. I'd rather look and be strong. By strong I don't mean he-man strong, I mean fit strong as if I can conquer the world. So I guess you don't like to exercise?

Thank you! It's all a journey. Even when I lost 125lbs, I was still about 30 lbs "overweight" and could still teach a kickboxing class that would have smaller people than me dying and not being able to keep up! LOL I do feel bad about putting some weight back on but the way I look at it is this is a journey. I know I am a…

Sadly , many people here do not know me. If they did, they'd realize that I hate no one. That I don't judge. I wasn't JUDGING skinny women. I was just saying that it's sad when that is a woman's ONLY goal in life- and they ignore their health. NOT all skinny women are unhealthy as you know. But there are some who are.

I totally get it. There are women who feel as though skinny=happiness, skinny= healthy - when all I had said (and got flamed by others) was saying it's more important to be fit. Skinny doesn't necessarily mean beauty and I am just trying to tell women not to worry about the stereotypes. If you want to be SKINNY and that is…

i DON'T GET WHAT MANY OF YOU DON'T GET. ALL i am doing is supporting those, like myself, who think the word SKINNY is not necessarily a goal. THERE ARE SKINNY AND HEALTHY AND FIT PEOPLE. There are also SKINNY AND UNHEALTHY. I was just saying that HEALTH AND FITNESS are my goals. What is there seriously NOT to…

It's so sad that so few of you get my OP. It was NOT a slam on skinny girls. It's a word that I think is used to equate to healthy and I don't always think it is healthy and beautiful. I am not a hater. Some of you are getting so defensive it's insane. I don't hate skinny girls. I don't hate fat girls. I don't hate anyone.…

You don't know my point because you are NOT me- my point was NOT to put down ANYONE thin! Not at all! It was to tell overweight people that they don't have to strive to be skinny- that fit is much better to strive for because it's more realistic for many of us. Such a shame you don't get me ! LOL

Wow - I am just using that as a point- I meant people with END STAGE diseases not people who are not terminal. I am not on a soapbox but it's sad that WOMEN totally don't get what I am saying and believe that I am putting down thin people. I am trying to LIFT up overweight people who feel that their lives will be SO much…

Portsmouth !you totally missed my point. All people have beauty. I have cousins who can't gain weight and they are beautiful. there are beautiful skinny people and there are also beautiful fat people. You entirely missed the point to my posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've also seen ugly skinny people and ugly fat people. I think…

LOL Most women would never join a gym like this because most don't think they are skinny!

What gym was this? was it a chain? If it was, I would contact the owners/management of the gym. I would stick my foot up a judgmental person's *kitten*- they would regret it. I have an awesome friend who is on fire with teaching fitness. When she first taught a class last week as a sub (she's been teaching for years) and…

First of all, unless you've lived a life as a really obese person, it's a shame for you to judge! I am considered obese and have been more obese in the past, and honestly, I could give 2 hoots if someone "judges" me at the gym- however, I do believe that since woman especially have been so severely judged for their weight…

Wow - you use the word LIBTARD??? Really?
