Yes I am Fat... No I am not Lazy!
I hate that stereotypical attitude that fat people are so lazy they deserve to be fat. To be honest, I haven't exercised in about 3 weeks aside from on the weekends... I work 3 jobs, and try to manage time with friends and family, and clean my house and take care of my pets. Does that make me 'lazy' I don't think so, I'm…

Skating
Anyone loose weight from skating? How about skating at a 'walking' speed instead of a 'running' speed? I'm going to be moving into a house with an unfinished concrete basement soon and thought it would be a fun way to get some extra exercise in... But can I skip cardio at the gym and just skate or do I need to do more?

Is getting healthy making us SHALLOW?
I've been on the forums all day... unusually slow day in the office, and I've seen a lot more negative comments about overweight people than I would have expected from a website that is all about health and fitness. Especially considering that probably 90% of us on here are here to try to loose weigh. Sure some people may…

Nude Maternity Photos?
They seem to be all the rage lately, especially after the Jessica Simpson shoot... While I agree that pregnancy is a beautiful thing, and I can totally understand a couple wanting to have a few done for their own personal collection. It is still awkward to come across a photo of your co-worker completely nude with only…
