wait till your freshman 15-30 pounds. you won't be thin forever.
That's the problem with America.
They are fat, they don't care. They are happy.
It is UNHEALTHY.
I bet you would be even more happy if you lost some weight, right?
I agree with manumaniac. People these days don't understand. You have to push yourself. I find myself in my backyard running gassers just to get my cardio up to date. I lift weights, play sports, and eat healthy.
Activity and eating healthy is key people.
Breakfast: Fruit & Cereal (Key)
Lunch: Pizza (I'm young and tolerable)
Dinner: Mommy's food (She cooks somewhat healthy)
Late Night Snack: Fruit and waffles or something
mmm

That's when it hits you. Gotta study hard to get the grades to get that good gig after you leave undergrad or whatever grad or professional school you want to and of course that is squeezed between hanging out with your buddies drinking anything with alcohol in it 7 nights a week. Then you end up working which means trying to impress the boss for that promotion in between happy hours. Then you get married and both of you forget about any semblance of exercise. Then you have a heart attack, get opened up via bypass surgery and have to use salt subs ute that tastes like licking cardboard for the rest of your miserable life.
why should the government regulate your health? what a joke that is. way to give the govt. more power... more programs for excuses to tax more so people have to work more which makes them have less time to prepare healthy food and instead go to fast food and get fatter.Eighty-one percent of Americans believe that the government should have a role in addressing the obesity crisis. Majorities strongly support government working on proposals to expand education programs about healthy living, provide low-cost access to exercise programs, and reduce the marketing of unhealthy foods.
YAYAYAYAY
all you have to do is replace junk food with fruit and if that is too hard then just get sugarfree gum. go outside for an hour every day.
I don't have that experience yet but I am positive I will have time to workout.
At least a morning jog or something along those lines. Maybe not lifting weights but at least it's still fitness.
Tip of the day:
You lose more calories lifting weights than being on cardio machines.
you lose weight best by reducing calories, and then keep them low to keep fat down.
Burning off calories with exercise is bull . It's the worst way for people who don't have enough will power to keep the mouths shut.
It used to be freshman 10, then 15, now 15-30?! geez, in a couple of years it'll be the freshman 50.
what is this freshman 10-30lbs stuff
yeah exercise is horrible for you. i'm all for staples.
Especially when you're over 30 and don't have the metabolism of a 15 year old anymore. Exercise and building muscle is how you get that metabolism back. And your heart is a muscle, too ... I'd imagine it'd be a pretty good idea to keep that one strong. So yeah, exercise is horrible.
Exercise isn't horrible. It's wonderful.
Burning off calories with exercise is bull .
Over-eating, and eating industrial crap, causes over-weight.
Under-eating is the only reliable way to lose weight and maintain healthy weight.
Burning off calories with exercise is bull .
buttons is right!
"buttons is right!"
yawn
That's one of the biggest crocks of I've ever read. The best approach is to combine exercise with more healthy eating habits. Unfortunately I don't eat as healthy as I should, but I exercise regularly. I would be a fat-ass if I didn't.
exactly
There are a lot of reasons other countries are healthier than the U.S., and watching their calories better isn't one of them.
I solve all these problems by doing one thing, and one thing alone.
Not. Eating.
Its really simple. I eat to live, not vice versa. I find eating and sleeping to be complete wastes of time.
don't you dare type 'yawn' at me pal.
i'm agreeing with your statement you smug .
"watching their calories better isn't one of them."
A good example is France.
The "French paradox" is "how do French (women) eat cheese, bread, wine, pastries, rich sauces, chocolate, etc, and not get fat?" It's not from obsessively counting calories or buying "low fat" food, or using articficial sweeteners (which were actually illegal in France into the 90s, IIRC).
The answer is (effectively) no junk/fast food, no snacking (French eat when they sit down to the table, only), and eating (even the fattening stuff above) in moderation.
However, as American-style junk food (fast food, breakfast cereal crap, etc) and American-style industrial food marketing has grown in France in the past 30 years, the French have gotten fatter, starting to catch up to the Germans and the English, who fattened up long ago.
There is also a significant discrepancy in cardiovascular disease between the south of France with its Mediterranean, olive-oil diet, where CVD is lower, and the north of France, with its cream/butter/cheese diet.
There is class difference, also. The middle and upper class culture frowns on overweight and obesity, while while the farmers and working classes don't care about their looks so much. Being really fat and sloppy in France was always a "peasant/worker" thing. Are these cultural guide lines dictatorial and imposed? Of course not. Just like all the cultural clues in USA about being fat are not dictatorial. They are much more sinister and very powerful.

Kids do not hang out outside much at all, unless they are at an organized sporting activity a few times a week. When I was a kid, we were outside 12 hrs a day, riding bikes, playing a pickup football game, baseball games,kickball, and whatever.
The biggest factors leading up to childhood obesity are pedophilia, technology and the fast food industry.
We did not stay indoors watching tv, playing video games(there were none). I seriously only knew of 1 or 2 kids that were what is considered obese nowadays. All of us were skinny because we excercised, and fast food was only eaten occasionally, and nothing was "supersized". Drinks were 16 oz at most and that was enough for us.
We could stay out for 6-8 hrs at a time and our parents did not worry about some freak child molestor kidnapping us like nowadays. Now, I never let my child play out in the front yard without one of us being out there with him....there are just too many freaks out there and I do not want to make it easy for them.
Exactly!
About 5 years ago, my dad had 6-vessel bypass surgery. He doesn't eat badly at all, but his body just produces cholesterol. His surgeon was surprised that my dad had never had a heart attack. My dad has ALWAYS been an avid exerciser and I firmly believe if it weren't for that, he may not be with us. And at 70 years old, he looks 10 years younger.
So since there is heart disease in my family, you bet I exercise.
