Question:
Weight?

Choices:
Overweight
Average weight
Insufficient weight a.k.a. skinny
You look overweight, but they're just Scarlett Johansson curves.
Anorexia. Warning.

 

i think my answer is obvious.

weight is irrevelent, im overweight for my height but i have a lower bodyfat and more muscle mass then the average american which makes me healthier. Take nephhilim for example, shes a fatass, yes but her bodyfat is whats really causing her to look so fat. I mean if she could lower it, thered be a significant difference in her appearance but not so much in weight. I think you should be asking the question if people are out of shape.

go read the hows your day going thread.

-21 pounds, fuckhead.

yea but youre still out of shape, i can help you lose weight if you want.

no, thanks.. i joined a gym and go every day.. yes, every single day.. i work with a personal trainer twice a week adn do some resistance training on my own.. but always cardio every day..

i'm getting into shape.. it's going to take some time.. but i'm already less blobular and i'm building endurance.. go heart!

well thats good. about 80% of getting in shape comes from your nutrition so as long as you eat right youl lose weight, have you tried running before breakfast?

and she's doing it all for me.

i eat under 1700 calories a day.. i think the breakdown i'm supposed to follow is 50% carbs, 30% protein and 20% fat. what i eat could be more balanced, but i make do. heh.. running is something i dont have the endurance for yet.. for cardio i use the elipitcal and stair master (which totally kicks my ass) i appreciate your offer to help. i sorta jumped your case, but weight is a sensitive issue.

no4, you'll always be no1 in my book

yoga people. That's where it's at. A relaxing and stimulating workout and it is really good a toning without weight resistance. Also, it helps for endurance with running.

do you think you're a weight expert or something?

haha its just a hobby i guess, everyone gives weird advice so its best to study on your own. neph you really know you stuff, well more than me, mine is 40% carb 40% protein 20% fat. Lowering body fat really sucks, I kindof know what youre going through but im glad youve made such great progress and stuck at it

I say do whatever you enjoy and can stick to that will improve your quality of life. All of that is defined differently by different people. good job on your hard work nephilim!

once my back gets back to normal I'm going to try to do a couple of classes a month. it's back to about 80 or 90% now so hopefully it will be soon.

Yeah it's really good for you! It's actually really great for strengthening your core muscles and your back. And the thing is you notice changes right away as far as how you feel and you really feel strength building because at first it is hard and with each consecutive time it gets easier and easier. It's really rewarding, I love it. Also, it isn't boring like a lot of things are for me like running and stuff. I've tried running and it's just too boring for me.

what she said above ^

I run 3.5 miles everyday (weather permitting) and I can attribute it to yoga.

Yoga is extremely rewarding, mind, body and soul.

So with that... namaste.

i took yoga for a semester a few years ago.. it was fun.. it helped with my back pain.. i still do some yoga stretches and poses to maintain flexibility and strengthen muscles.

thanks, alwaysraining.

I swear by yoga! IT does help with running too.

I'll vouch for yoga's effectiveness as well. If the body AND mind are stimulated and exercised it goes a long way towards maintaining and/or creating a healthy PERSON. There are a lot of people out there with healthy bodies but unhealthy minds. I think yoga is one good method of helping to maintain that necessary balance.

I weight for lovelle
