Good BRM calc website
OK, so I don't put a lot of faith in old scientific formulas, especially when they don't take into account all the possible variables. Most of the online calculators only ask for weight, height, age and activity level, they don't take into account how long, how hard or how often you work out, sleep or do other activities.…

MARS candy bar doesn't want to be deep fried
So this just popped up on my news feed and I thought it pretty funny. Especially after reading this blurb" The move to distance itself from the deep-fried Mars bar was reportedly made out of a health concern for its consumers. The company stated to the BBC: “We are really flattered that customers of Carron Fish Bar like…

Another depression post
I can't help noticing there are a lot of people on here, posting in the forums, who suffer from some form of depression or another. I've often wondered and even read several books on, what has caused such a huge increase in depression in society today. But that's not why I'm writing this. What I am curious about is, how…

How do you judge success?
I know most things are relative, so how do you measure your success? Is it by the pound? By the inch? By the activity? I get excited when I make it up a few stairs without feeling like I'm going to die. Of course, I'm a rather extreme example. I totally blew the holly he ll out of my calorie limit today. In fact I damn…

plans when you lose the pounds?
So, a bit about me. I was once in shape, many years ago. I was able to ride a bike for miles and miles, even up hill if you can believe that. I swam miles, not feet. Sometime up the river just for the extra work. I walked, I hiked, I did fun things, I hung out with people. And then all that changed. I'm entirely sure when…

video suggestion?
OK, I am positive that there are many times many buried threads on this subject so I apologize profusely, oh hell, who am I kidding, no I don't. Anyway. I'm fat, like not just a little fat, I'm DuAmn fat. People close elevators in fear for their lifes when they see me coming. I'm working on that. What I am trying to find…

so far down the tunnel
Me: 38 years old, 6'3" and 575 pounds. I suffer from severe depression, chronic pain, arthritis and a general dislike of exercise. I've steadily gained weight for the last 7 or 8 years and until recently didn't realize just how fat I've gotten. It's quite shocking when you step on a scale and see it bounce of 600 before…
