• Commented on Fox NFL and Burger King Make Jessica Simpson Fat Jokes
  In fairness to Burger King, everything I've read about it indicates they had nothing to do with the segment. Sponsoring it is more like buying a commercial, it doesn't mean they have any input or preview of the content....
• Commented on Why You Should Be Eating Nuts
  I'm a peanut butter fanatic, but I recently discovered almond butter which I think was sent from heaven......
• Commented on Which Strength Training is Best: Single or Multiple Sets?
  I work from home, so i'll typically lift 3 sets but spread out over the entire day, usually 2-3 hours apart starting at lunch. These are fairly high intensity sets, but the breaks in between give me time to recover...
• Commented on How Good Are VitaminWater 10's New Flavors?
  I don't know if it's funny or sad how completely brainwashed the "drinking water industry" (that alone is a wtf) has got the American people. Mountain water, spring water, mineral water, vitamin water, fitness water, come on it's the same...
• Commented on Get OFF the Couch and Start Exercising!
  Unacceptable, entertainment is a crutch for fat, weak, miserabl losers. While you watched that Matlock rerun yesterday I burned 2,000 calories. Not becoming completely obsessed with exercise is for losers, so throw out your TV already fatty, kiss movies and...
• Commented on Get OFF the Couch and Start Exercising!
  Oh not one of the anti-television zealots preaching from his high horse. It makes sense that most of you are exercise nuts also, just another reason you're so much better than all the fat, lazy, stupid people who dare turn...
• Commented on Jen4Men: Jenny Craig Goes Butch
  Their brand is synonymous with women's weight loss. I can't see men embracing this in droves, any more than they'd buy Lindsey Lohan brand cowboy boots....
• Commented on Losing Weight Helps Patients With Kidney Disease
  I imagine losing weight would help obese patients with most any disease......
• Commented on Weight Loss: Focus on Cutting Calories
  I personally would prefer to run every day than deprive myself of the occasional baked potato or bowl of pasta. But that's just me, which is kind of my point, it's our own individual choice to make. Besides, exercising makes...
• Commented on Weight Loss: Focus on Cutting Calories
  Yeah, because all of us look forward to living the rest of our lives without potatoes and bread....
• Commented on Track Your Fitness Progress and See Results
  I'll also note that to me it appears he wasn't a true beginner when he started. Maybe he was formerly into fitness and let himself go, or maybe this was staged to build his brand (which, if that's the case,...
• Commented on Track Your Fitness Progress and See Results
  Yeah, I went to his site (johnstonefitness.com) and looked around, and his food and exercise routines are pretty extreme, much more than the typical dieter will commit to....
• Commented on Track Your Fitness Progress and See Results
  I think this is great advice, taking pictures is vital to staying motivated. It's hard to see results when you're looking for them day to day. When I look in the mirror, I still see a fat, soft person and...
• Commented on SNL's Casey Wilson Denies Being Fired Due to Her Weight
  That was amazingly insightful....
• Commented on Living Near Busy Roads May Increase Blood Pressure
  I don't think I buy it. I've lived near the freeway, and I currently live near an airport. It doesn't take long before you subconsciously tune the sounds out completely....

• Commented on Chuck Norris on Health Care
  Okay Chuck, so what about the people who aren't fat slobs? Do you mind if they get health care? I've had a pain in my tibia for a week from jogging, I should probably see a doctor but I can't...
• Commented on Does the Smart Choices Program Lack Credibility?
  Perhaps KFC can put a "Smart Choice" label on their buckets of fried chicken, you know because it's a healthier choice than a gallon if ice cream or a bottle of Wild Turkey....
• Commented on First Day of the Rest of My Life
  I wouldn't take those ideal weight calculators too seriously, 20 lbs over "ideal weight" is probably pretty healthy. I'm 6'5" and i've seen some calculations claiming my ideal weight is 160 LBS, which is completely ridiculous. My more reasonable, healthy...
• Commented on Should Employers Pay for Weight Loss Surgery?
  That was a bit tongue in cheek, but as the article itself points out, if this were to turn into a trend employers certainly will avoid hiring obese people if precedence indicates they will be responsible for the employees pre-existing...
• Commented on Should Employers Pay for Weight Loss Surgery?
  The obvious solution is to just avoid hiring fat people. If as an employer I am responsible for their own self induced health problems, why would I or anyone give them a job, discrimination laws be damned?...
• Commented on My Weight Loss Mission
  My best advice is don't eat too little and don't force yourself to go hungry. For me, that was the difference between success and failure. Diets that make you suffer are destined to fail. Don't eat too little, don't skip...
• Commented on Farmed Fish Anyone?
  I'm not sure I understand, if the masses started eating only wild fish, how exactly would that produce less of an impact? Now rather than harvesting feed fish to farm salmon, we're just harvesting wild salmon. I don't see how...
• Commented on I've Lost My Focus Since Starting Exercise
  I've never eaten breakfast regularly, but i've been making sure to at least eat a banana for breakfast (~8am). Occasionally i'll make a couple of eggs, but typically my stomach isn't ready for food in the morning. For lunch around...
• Posted I've Lost My Focus Since Starting Exercise to Share
  I am 35, and I have been overweight my entire adult life, and within the last few years I crossed into the obese category. I've tried to get into shape many times in my life and have always failed, until...
