That rug really tied the room together.

In my several months here I have gotten the impression that liberals out weight conservatives on the forums.

Be careful, trying to run too fast, too far, too soon will result in an injury. Take it slow.

My advice would be to carb load the night before the race.

I am well aware that this country is full of people that feel the way you do. People that simply do not understand the ramifications of all of these intrusions the government has in people's lives. You people own the country now. I know this. Legislate everything the majority feels is a good idea. When it bites you in the butt I will be the dude standing in the shadows giggling at you. I have no further comments on this issue.

I **** ing HATE libertarians.  I wish we could put them all in a camp.

There is medication for that now you know.

No one is forcing you to eat at these restauraunts. But go ahead... let the government dictate everything to every business. Eventually it will be something that the majority of the people agree with that will affect you and your life in a negative way. In the beginning our government was set up to protect us from ourselves. We seemed to have forgotten about that.

this website is the single most valuable resource on the internet for understanding the cycle of nicotine addiction and what the body goes through when quitting. IMHO it is a must for the quitter.

Here is a link to one article in particular you may find helpful.

edited to say to take the sapce out between the "a" and "l" in gradual for the link to work. I am not sure why that space is there and I can't remove it.

but it DOES include it! It's just not very obvious for intense exercise because the base amount is pretty small... but if you log half an hour of light housework (110 calories for me) then look at your activity meter, it's only added 70 to the total. The other 40 calories didn't vanish into thin air. If you look at your Activity Meter, it's right there.

As for the OP, yes, being on your feet for hours at a time burns a LOT of calories... and it can really make a difference to your burn.

 

Well yeah. your log on CC takes it into consideration, but not the calorie calculators.

And I think that if you're 4'11" you can eat less than 1200 calories a day and be okay,

 This is bad advice. Do not eat less than 1200 calories a day. This is the least amount a female adult should eat to unsure that her organs have the necessary nutrients to sustain life. It is very dangerous to answer this way to a person that most likely is looking for a free non-guilty way out from having to eat 1,200.

It is hard to beat the couch-to-5k plan, but whichever plan you chose make sure that it does not have you increasing mileage more than 3 weeks in a row. You should always increase mileage and intensity for 3 weeks and then have a "rest" week where you run shorter, less intense workouts. Good luck to you!

When I get in my wife's Mustang I don't have to get her to help me fasten my seat belt.

I do not think my vision plays a role in my potential heart disease and short life span, so I say it has absolutely no bearing on my motivation to lose weight.

in 7 days, I've lost 1/2 a pound. 

 This most likely means you ate 1,750 calories fewer than you burned the past 7 days.

Stay the course, log your calories, exercise and eat a healthy 500 calorie a day deficit and by Christmas you will weigh 130. Good luck!

On a related note... Does any one know the calories in a serving of polar bear liver? I really need to log my dinner from last night.
