I am more convinced than ever that exercise is overrated for weight loss. Typical exercise isn't really going to build muscles...sure it'll help you get healthy and get you toned..and don't get me wrong, I exercise.
But exercise makes you hungry and you feel justified to eat. So you'll most likely not lose weight.
Your body is like a bank. You put money in it without taking it out, the money will stay and the bank account wont shrink. Start withdrawing more than you deposit, the account will start to shrink. And the Bank really won't care if you deposit coins, checks, or bills...
Simply take in less calorie than the body uses, you'll lose weight.
It's really that simple y'all.

Or just get lipo.
You should DDR! And stop the lipo.
Lipo won't really give me sexy arms/shoulders.
I'm in a wedding in September and have another to go to in New Orleans in OCtober. I think those are reasonable goals.
LOL..that aint what I said yo.
You can eat fried potatoes...but if you only intake about 1000 calories a day and your body uses 1,500 calories per day? You'll lose 1lb a week.
It aint what you eat...it's how much. Hell...eat a stick of butter everyday (how many calorie is that?)...and if it's less calorie than your body uses, you'll lose weight.
I know. But if I cut out particularly high calorie things, I can eat more of others.
I understand portion control, I just like eating.
Losing weight is all about losing fat while still retaining your muscle. It requires 4 things in no specific order:
1. Motivation
2. The correct eating habits
3. Aerobic exercise
4. Weight training
I gained like 20lbs in undergrad and I have recently taken the last 3 months to lose it. I recommend reading Burn the Fat Fuel the Muscle. Easily one of the best books for people starting out and not sure what to do. If anyone wants a copy send me a PM and I can hook you up.
While losing weight is essentially calories in/calories out, it does matter what you eat. Also, while starving yourself on 1000 calories may seem like the best way, it is in no way a realistc way to live the rest of your life and it will kill your metabolism. Most people find that actually eating more will give them the energy to actually get off their butt and exercise.

Mocap Boxing is my game...when I move to wherever here in a few months after the wife graduates, I'm getting one. Bought EA Active on the way home...I'll give it a test drive right fast.
Oh yea? So what will contribute to more weight loss..1000 calories of fat or 1000 calories of protein or 1000 calories of sugar?
You don't think 1,000 calories a day is bad for females?
Who's talking rest of your life? You do enough to lose the fat...then increase the daily caloric intake to maintain the weight.
Is that right... I alway feel lethargic and sleepy after I eat more.. I guess I'm the exception not the rule.
You are correct. It is calories in/ calories out. I guess I am saying you will be healthier. Like if you ate 1800 calories a day of chicken breast/veggies or you decided to eat a pound of sugar which has 1800ish.
It is different for everyone. 1,000 caloreis a day will be alright for like a 120lb chick that does no exercise. For healthy weight loss, around a 500 calorie deficiet a day. So yea round 1100 may be alright for a chick getting close to her target weight. If someone is trying to get below 1000 then they are either really short or got something funny in the head.
So you plan on losing all this fat, then going right back to eating garbage? That will just cause you to gain it back. That is one of the reasons diets fail so much.
I meant more like while doing activities. I know I feel like crap if I do not get enough to eat and I decide to go for a run or something.
I must say...that EA Active is quite the program. The only big downside is that the little stretch resistance thingy is way too weak.
agreed, I'm going to buy a stronger band.
Also, the sensors were a little wonky when I was doing bicep curls and lunges. But it sensed just fine for lunges and the rowing.
Overall, I'm impressed so far.
Woah!! Pharmacists and residents with Wii?!?!!? Since when??!! 😛
Hell, I've got a Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360....and I'll be one of those psychos in line 6 hours before midnight to get the next system when it comes out.
ahh, so a hardcore gamer i presume? was that back in pharma school?
at least you're not a geek and pc enthusiast like other peeps...😳
I agree with you.
- healthy instead of junk food
- cut out the yo-yoing and just make the necessary changes
- 1,000 calorie diets are considered starvation diets
I just got back from a run- and Man! - I'm glad I ate breakfast this morning! 😀 (Even if it was only 300 calories. 😉)
Actually, I did own all three while I was in school...
omg my ass hurts today.
day #2 of the workout involved about 4000000000 lunges and a bunch of high knee stuff. ouch.
Meh. I feel fine. I think I'm going to try the hardest difficulty.
I dig the little boxing thing. I just wish there was an opponent and it was about 30 times faster paced...like Mocap Boxing.
Gogo PS3. Just finished up MGS4 and Bioshock lately.
I actually own zero games for the thing right now. Resistance was ok...MGS4 was terrible...Bioshock is a great game...I own it on 360...I refer to it as my fancy blu ray player right now.
The one thing that I did not like about MGS4 was the load times before each section. I will admit Bioshock was pretty damn quality. I mainly use my PS3 to stream movies/tv shows from my computer onto my TV to be honest.
I disliked the fact that they spend 60% of my time with the thing droning on and on with 30 minute cutscenes for the idiotic plotline that anyone with an IQ over 80 gets tired of within 5 seconds. It might be the most pretentious video game ever made. It puts so much stock in the quality of the story that it invests the majority of the game in it...but nobody took the time to realize that the story is terrible...like along the lines of the 50s Sci-Fi movies they used to make fun of on MST3K...
MGS2 is still the best game. That Raiden chap was the only remotely interesting character in the entire series...and apparently, the fans of the series hate him...why, I have no idea...oh...wait...they are fans of the series...duh.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact Kojima is so damn full of himself and thinks that whatever pops into his brain is brilliant. At times it is like I am watching a movie instead of playing a game. I still enjoy the first one on the PS the most. Mantis was the ****.
Most fanboys hate change and the fact that Raiden might be cooler than Snake was something most could not handle.
Oh man, MST3K. *Starts downloading MST3K torrent*
Yup.
Well, a 30 year old female 5'4" and 130lb with a sedentary job with very little exercise will probably require a daily caloric intake of 1,500 to 1,600 calories. A realistic weight loss of 2 to 3 lbs per month will require this person to cut back around 300 calories a day... about 10,000 calories per month. This person can probably go extreme and reduce daily intake of 500 calories without going into starvation..so around 1,000 to 1,100 calories.
No, absolutely not. In order to maintain the weight, this person once gets out of the diet, will require an increase of daily intake of calories back up to 1,500 calories per day to maintain the weight. The problem with diet failure is because these people go back to the "old" ways.. that got them obese. Same applies to exercise.. people work out a bit to lose some weight, mostly water, then stop working out..not any different than the diet.
Well, here's the paradox. I believe one of the keys in logevity in lifespan is small diet. I also believe large meals wear you out while your body tries to digest and store the energy derived from food. Yet, when I go into ketosis due to low carb, high protein, and working out, I actually feel a lot better with virtually no appetite. I'd think this is one of the reasons why Atkins diet can be successful. Yet that's not the diet I want to be in for a long period of time.
BTW, I'm not obese at all nor am I trying to lose weight.
Yea, I have noticed that eating smaller meals more times a day usually results in me having more energy and not feeling run down. Controlling the amount of carbs you intake is important for weight loss. I have found that for diets "Carb cycling" is the best. You eat around 120g of carbs for 3 days then you eat maybe double that on the fourth. Rinse and repeat.
Personally, I think a person should just exercise more instead of cutting their calories down to such a low level.
I sorta assumed you were 500lbs and currently eating an entire chicken. My bad.

Lord.. I weigh the same as I did my first year college. And that was 24 years ago.
Damn, son. People in Saudi Arabia get beheaded for less than that.
Dood, this made me want to barf up my dinner.
I subscribe to WC Douglass MD's Newletter. Not because I'm a desciple, I think he's funny as chit. Here's the newletter I got last night. This dude is pretty controversial. Read more here. http://www.douglassreport.com/dailydose/dd200905/dd20090520a.html

No way. I will get fat if I eat too much!!
*Puts down stick of bacon wrapped butter*
I do personally do not take much stock in any obesity stats because a majority of them go off of BMI which is dumb. I am not saying there is not an obesity problem, but the stats they often quote are inflated.
I never understood obesity. Where are the families and friends of these people? I know that if any of my family was like the chick in that video, I would punch them in the face and explain how I do not want them to die in the next 5 years.

Exercise not likely to boost your metabolism
Health benefits of exercise require no additional support. We know it's good to exercise. But losing weight through exercise has been over estimated.. so the study says.
Gotta love that dude's expression!

I've been running+walking twice a day routinely for about 2 weeks. It's helping with stress, and my skin looks pretty good, too.
I can run about a mile straight without stopping, but the path that I take is a two mile loop, so I'll have to work up to be able to run the whole thing.
