  Need a little advice on calorie counting and weight loss

  by Leander in

  2. physical

  i just started working out again over the last month after a layoff of about 10 years.

  so my questions are how can i find out how many calories a 280 pound guy burns off just doing everyday activities?

  how do i determine how many calories i need to take in to maintain the muscle i have but still burn off fat?.

  i was determined to lose some weight this year myself.. i called myself being on a 1500 cal diet, but i don't think i've been sticking to it as well as i was at first. but i've also stopped eating meat. no beef, pork, or chicken.....i do eat my share of seafood, mainly shrimp and fish....and i try to eat alot of veggies, buuuutttt thats kinda hard. Someone had mentioned about staying away from starches and bread...i think thats what im going to incorporate next into my diet...i eat too much corn, and rice and starchy items....

  but the good news is so far, even though its nothing to brag on, since january i've lost my first 10 pds....so...took almost 3 months to do it..but im still feeling good about it....

  here in quebec, ordinary unleaded is 94.4 cents a litre.

  (that's the cheapest gas!!!).

  there are 3.78 liters per american gallon, so this would give $3.57 a us gallon..... what's the price of gas in your area?

  WHAT'S THE WORST JOB YOU EVER HAD?

  by Mary in

  the worst one i ever had was working in a frozen chicken factory.

  there were about 30 of us in a freezing cold room and my shit job was to feel the half-frozen chicken breasts up, to see if there were any little bones in them.

  well after the first 5 minutes my frigging fingers were frozen stiff, so i couldn't tell if there were any bones in there or not........after 20 minutes it felt like my hands were having an out of body experience and if they weren't in front of my frozen face, i would've thought they had dropped off.

  I hope I don't kill the thread but someone made the comment about the supposedly ram head in the pic....

  With all the shenigans that goes on in bethel that was told on the bethel memories thread, I'm starting to believe that maybe some very intelligent artists (that had slight hangovers from all the drinking) may have hidden a few subliminal thingys.....

  Elder in coma said Jehovah was testing him.

  by Es in

  2. friends

  an elder in my parents congregation passed away last week of cancer.. i dont know if this sounds weird to anyone else, but about a month before he passed away, he went into a coma, he didnt know how long he was in it for.

  but when he awoke he said to one of the c/o visiting him "jehovah was testing me, and tellin me i was going to be ok".

  so once he awoken he wasnt afraid to die.. does this sound a little weird to anyone, i just feel if it had of been any wordly person saying that god was talkin to them in their coma that the jw's would say it was the demons?????.

  hi sweetp, no he wasnt one of the annointed or governing body, just an ordinary elder

  Sorry Es, but I was kinda being sarcastic with my question....I thought that unless you were of the anointed or on the GB (directed by Jehovah DIRECTLY) that Jehovah would talk to you....anything else was the demons...especially hearing a voice.....who did he think he was???? Moses or Abraham or something....

  Someone had said it on another thread about a implosion of the borg. I really do believe that IF and thats a big IF they ever admit or weaken the stance even further on the blood issue...People that have lost loved ones due to these issues will totally lose faith unless they are so totally brainwashed that they just take the new light and not even think about their loss......I just feel a storm a' comin really soon....we're just in the quiet part now.....

  dang, got all caught up and watched the whole darn ch 11 newscast.....silly me

  Its so sad that this happened....All because these dumba** old geezers up there won't just admit they are wrong and let people be saved. I think something similiar to this was the turning point for my dad too. A close family friend got sick and needed an organ transplant but was too weak to transport to another hospital to get the transplant because she needed blood.....she didnt make it...i think that really took a toll on my dad....

  I have posted this in other places but a example that my brother used one time really made me say hmmm and you're right....

  no matter how many times you divide it, seperate it, shake it up, what have you...you're still dealing with BLOOD....just like water you can freeze it, boil it to make steam and other stuff but you're still dealing with water.....

  I'm praying the other baby survives....
