  anyone have success with weight watchers?.

  what works best for you when you want to lose weight?

  i guess i'm mainly asking the ladies...it seems like it is always so easy for men to drop weight.

  oh, one more thing. this is something me and my girlfriend fall victim to all the time. you have to be patient and stick to your program.

  whether you're dieting or starting a new exercise program, it should take 6-8 weeks to see a major difference (i say 'should' because of course you can starve yourself for a day or two and see a drastic change, but this isn't healthy and you're probably doing more harm than good). especially at first we have a harder time noticing the changes in our body and tend to give up. concentrate on a future date, not on what the scale says today or what we see in the mirror today.

  wait a few weeks and then assess your progress. i would suggest to stay away from scales or calipers or anything that puts a number on your body. just take a look at yourself and see what you think (before and after pictures are my favorite...you can see all the tiny improvements lumped all together all at once).

  it was said a couple of times before but just basically burn more calories than you take in. your body will be forced to use what it has stored (also, calories can only be used or stored. think about that next time you reach for a twinkie...you'll have to use each and every one of those calories, either now or you'll store it for later.)

  1. eat small amounts often (every 3 hours, or about 5 times a day) but not after 6 or 7 at night.

  2. workout at least 3 times a week (i keep my workouts to about a half hour. more is not necessarily better).

  3. doing cardio does not burn fat faster than strength training (i.e. weights). the more calories you burn the faster you will lose weight. simple as that. weight training burns more calories than any other type of training (compare amt of calories burned in half hour of weights vs. half hour on the treadmill.) also, if women do weights they will not end up looking like a man. women don't have the hormones to develop broad shoulders or bulging biceps. if you do end up manish, thank god, because you're going to be a filthy rich female body builder...my point is that it doesn't happen. the freakish women are all on roids.).

  4. if you can't give up your pizza and beer (it's understandable, i gotta say...), just exercise more and don't worry about the diet. i read a study in which they took a group of sedentary women and split them up for 8 weeks. one group exercised 3 times a week and cut 100 calories a day, one group only worked out, one group only dieted and one group changed nothing. the group that worked out and dieted lost the highest percentage of body fat (of course), but it was only a couple of percentage points more than the group that just worked out. the group that just dieted lost a little, but it was negligible when compared with the work out groups.

  hope this helps. good luck!

  yes, it's a crossed out cross. no, this does not mean that i hate jesus. no, this does not mean i hate christian religions. again, i am not the anti-christ (yet...[laughs evilly]).

  this being a western country, the cross is the most recognizable symbol of organized religion and "religious guidance" in general. my avator simply signifies that you aren't going to find any religious guidance or (especially) religious condemnation from me.

  it's like a no parking sign. it doesn't mean that the govenment is anti-parking or that you can't park anywhere, just not there.

  so are we clear? i don't mean to offend anyone. i just mean "NO RELIGION HERE" [points thumb at chest]

  well, i hope you enjoy it as much as you can. i personally can't even imagine going back to one of those things. <shivers>

  i hope your friends don't shun you or give you any kind of guilt trip (i'm sure they won't...i'm not being sarcastic...no, really...). of course, i don't know how your family and friends function, but i know that if i went to an assembly EVERYONE would welcome me back with open arms. i personally though, would want to remember why they were being so friendly to me and my girlfriend (my family has never talked to her either, so i know what you mean about wanting your fam to meet the significant other). i understand "stringing them along" but in the end even the happy contact you might experience might not be so "real", you know what i mean?

  i just know that i'd cringe under every hug they offer because i know that deep down they're really saying, "Repent and turn around, lost sheep."

  had a bit of an altercation this weekend... my nephew in law attempted to assault my wife..... this is the background:.

  i have a deaf mute nephew with a personality disorder.

  he's 32, and still lives with his mother and her fiancee.

  i agree with LT on this.

  i'm not a violent person and believe that violence never solves anything...

  however, if anyone ever touched my girlfriend there would be no limit to how fast and how furious they would get theirs.
