A few of us were thinking of starting an on-going FReeper diet and fitness thread. It would be a place where we could discuss weight loss, diet, exercise, getting back in shape, encourage each other in our efforts to get healthy, and celebrate our successes.
Any fitness or activity level. 100+ pounds to lose or no weight to lose. Those who have lost weight and kept it off, please share with us what has worked for you. Maybe you love a certain activity, biking, skiing, rock climbing, walking, running, whatever, tell us about how it helps you stay in shape. Share your weight loss success. Just a place to exchange ideas about all things exercise and diet related.
Don't be shy! As Freepers we spend a whole bunch of time in front of our computers and more then a few of us could do with some exercise and probably a little weight loss.
NO VERBAL ATTACKS! NO NAME CALLING! NO BASHING! THE OVERWEIGHT! NO NASTY PICTURES POSTED! This will be a thread about getting healthy and no attacks will be tolerated.
TOPICS: Health/Medicine
KEYWORDS: boombalatti; exercise; fatty; waddleofftochat; weightloss

I'll go first. I've been doing Weight Watchers for about 6 months and have lost about 35 pounds. Not record time, I know, but I'm making real lasting changes in my eating habits. WW really emphasizes portion control. It's the most "doable" diet I've ever done. I still get to eat what I want, just smaller portions. I'm getting over a raging cold so I wasn't able to go weigh in this week and see if I lost anything. I'm dying to see if I got below the 35 pound mark.
I generally loathe exercise, but know it's good for me. So, I do Walk Away The Pounds 2 mile and WATPs Walk, Punch and Kick when I the mood strikes. When the weather is nice mr. rk and I like to hike around different parks in the area. We have some great recreation areas near here.
Anyone else interested?

Maybe I'd be interested on Monday - lol. I'm sure all the dieters know about Mondays.

I need to gain weight, not lose it. Got a recipe for that?

Any chance you could post whatever diet Rush Limbaugh used?

I'm an ACE certified personal trainer, so I'll offer whatever assistance I can, when I can. BTW...I think WW offers the most sensible diet plan out there. Keep up the good work!
To: Izzy Dunne
So much for a polite request. Jerks.

If you want to start a list, you can sign me up.
My regimen includes two nights a week at my martial arts class. I am a little bit overweight, not much, and this activity has really allowed me to keep it from getting any worse.
I've been training for 8 years. I am 2nd degree blackbelt.
Also, in the summer I occasionally do some hiking and camping at Kentucky Lake, but not enough to be considered an exercise regimen. I also go to a rifle range to shoot during the summer, and if I'm shooting my 7mm magnum, then it most definitely qualifies as a workout. Qualifies as a beating, too :)
