  • @diskokitten ...Is it fair to call her a total disgrace? Might it be more helpful to say that she made a poor decision? Would you like it if I called you a total disgrace because you employed poor grammar and lazy spelling in your comment? Wouldn't I be unfairly reducing the entirety of your humanity to one single act? Is it not more accurate to say, "What she did is wrong" rather than "She is a total disgrace"? Calling her a disgrace is permanent, calling her action wrong allows her to change.

  • i think the reason that people gain weight back is because after they lose it all, its like "ok, i did it, im done" but in reality, its not that way at all. you have to keep it up forever if you want to stay fit. thats why gradual weight loss will stay with you better if you make it part of your life rather than something squeezed in for the year or so you do it.

  • Am I overweight? Age 12 I am 35 kg.

  • @t0mme1981 Thats sad and untrue. You should enjoy the foods you love. I didnt have to cut any food I love to eat. You just have to change the way you eat. I drink, eat pizza, cheesecake, chocolate, anything I want and lost almost 50 pounds. I also exercise. Life is too short to not indulge or enjoy it. I think when people obsess over it and eat and eat and eat until they cant anymore is where the problem begins. Thanks for the congrats!

  • @EbonySings4u: I follow this rule; all food that tastes delicious, gives you a warm glow inside and you want to eat more, is fattening. I enjoy eating pizzas, Indian food and drinking beer.

    I have to limit my intake of the food I enjoy, and have to exercise for an hour twice a week to keep myself in shape. Well done for losing your weight!!!

  • @t0mme1981 It really isnt that simple. You can eat less but still be taking in large amounts of calories without realizing it. Or you could be eating too few calories and not lose weight.

    Source: I was once obese

  • @ladyzicon True. But if you don't over eat you won't be fat. You can't create something from nothing.

  • 3 hours a day in the gym? Maybe walking on the treadmill. Still nope. Maybe 30 minutes.

  • Obesity has been an issue in my family for the longest time. Finally took the plunge and had the procedure done at southcoastlapband. I couldn't stand not having to live like a normal person anymore. My weight is a major factor in my depression. It's been almost a year and i have lost 80 lbs. I am glad i did it!

  • Obese? Just try eating less. It really is that simple!

    If more goes in your mouth than down the toilet you will put on weight!

  • what? get that cat off the table lol!
