[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I learned that 1 pound = 3500 calories, I cracked the code to healthier eating and weight loss. It wasn't that difficult to cut 3500 calories from my diet each week, losing 1 pound a week. For me, it was cutting out one restaurant meal a week. [/quote]

This isn't exactly "news" --- but glad you learned something today.

And this is why you CANNOT EXERCISE YOUR WAY OUT OF A BAD DIET.  If you are eating too much, it is impossible to just go to the gym and magically get the body you've always wanted.  An hour on the eliptical or treadmill or even in an aerobics class is only going to be a few hundred calories burned at best.  If you are drinking frappacinos and eating out a lot (portions WAY too big plus all the yummy fat they add to everything), you could throw down 900 calories with that frappacino and another 2000 with one eat-out meal.  There simply aren't enough hours in the day for you to exercise all that away.

I always cringe when January rolls around and a bunch of new people are in the cubes at the gym signing up for a membership and training sessions.  That's all good stuff for your body, and your mind.  But, that isn't how you are going to drop those extra 50 lbs you've been lugging around.

Gotta change how you eat.  And get moving so that you are busy and away from snacking opportunities.  Engage the mind and body, but you HAVE to reduce those portions.[/quote]

You're quite arrogant and off putting.  I'm glad that you "cringe" when people go to the gym. [/quote]
