Should parents lose custody of super obese kids?
An interesting article. This isn't about disorders in which kids get obese by medical conditions, it's more about the parents not controlling what their children eat, and thus threatening the life of the child by poor choices. For me, there should be some sort of intervention before taking the kids away. But none-the-less,…

Heart Rate Monitor with finger sensor
I've got one that I use my finger on a sensor to check...and I'm messing around with it, and comparing to checking it with myself, and it's off. I use my index finger, and I'm getting like 50-54bpm at rest....I think that's low....I use my finger and I'm at 60 or so...so it's off from 6-10. It seems to calculate calories…

Came home and caught my wife......
Walked in the door after a 3.3 mile run and caught my wife..........Hitting up some P90X Cardio X!!!!!!! Hell yeah!!!!! Very proud she jumped into that....it's a rough and tough start for sure, but I know she burned off some goop!! Even did some stuff with the heavy bag afterwards!! So naturally I had to join in!!

My favorite place to run
This always motivates me to run....I wish it was longer, this section of my run is only .7 miles one way: odd....they are all the same size, but the top one isn't working right.

Calves!!! Yep...odd. I'll take it.

A Proper Introduction
Hey all! So I've been on here for a week or so, and realized that I've not really done a proper introduction! About 2 months ago, I was responding to some youtube messages at www.youtube.com/jhempel24 (yeah a self plug LOL) and just really noticed that I had no wrist..it was like...arm...hand. And started to do somthing…

Trying to help people make the right decisions
I've made the decision to change my lifestyle, and I understand that I can't force anyone to change theirs. But I'm having difficulty in finding a tactful way to do something: My wife is kind of depressed about being sick and even with not eating much, not losing weight, it's been a very long time since being under 200lbs…

My first 10k - 2011 Conquer the Hill, Evendale OH
If you are a participant over at Runners World this is the same review: Okay, so here goes: I got to the event about 7:40-7:45, race started at 8, got checked in, got my bag with my number/shirt/coupons for Mcdonalds (weird), and ****s. I found a place towards the back of the pack, and about 8am they had us go. About…

Calorie Burn waaay off
I'm noticing that the calorie burn is waaaay off here. Anyone else notice that? I'm seeing that I'm burning 500 calories during a 3 mile run....that's just NOT true!! You only burn, for me anyway, at 200lbs 130-140 calories a mile...unless you are running like a 6 minute mile!! I just hope everyone finds a good way to…

Confused about calorie intake
Okay, I'm talking to some folks that ran gyms and did nutrition stuff etc, and I'm confused: He stated that if I'm taking in 2500 calories in one day, I better be burning 2800...netting -300. That doesn't make sense to me. When I talked about, Netting 1400 calories after exercise he said thats what my body would store as…

Sedentary vs lightly active vs active
I'm messing around with this, and don't quite know where I fall. I workout HARD 60-75 min a day, plus running on top of it a few days a week...and I add those into my Exercise Profile...I sit at a desk 8 hours...or pace sometimes, but when I'm not working out, or off, I am usually at an amusement park walking around with…

Sodium intake question
I take in roughly 2500-3500mg of sodium everyday. That being said, I drink about 10-12 cups of water a day, and sweat buckets working out for 60-75 minutes 6days a week, so should I "really" be concerned?

Cant seem to get more food in me
I'm working with trying a 2lb a week weight loss. I workout pretty rough 6 days a week, and my net calories are still like 1,000.....I'm eating all the frickin time! I need to have 1500 Net! I'm taking in like 2,000 calories a day....and even thats tough because I am just not hungry....I add 1% milk with my protein just to…

Sugar Sugar everywhere!!
Okay...I don't quite get this. I'm looking at what I'm eating today as far as calories/protein/carbs etc. I'm on a higher protein diet to burn fat. So I don't really care about being negative in protein, I get about 130g-140g a day. Several nutritionists stated I should have 1g per pound, but I don't buy it. So currently…
