Are you fatter than that you want to be?

there is much problem to a fat person than thin. i am also considered with my weight. i try to check it every month. so if there is an unwanted rising, i will change my eating

Good thing I have lost some weight already. Some months ago I find myself overweight so I decided to minimize carbohydrates and do play a lot of my favorite sport. I guess this should motivate us all to have a healthy lifestyle because I believe all of us don't want to be in his shoes either. Health is wealth as we always hear.

Getting fat is very easy, loosing weight is a miracle! Hehe... I was 20 pounds off my weight. Since I had to attend house chores, I left exercise behind. When I was young I was really sportive, even I classified in swimming on the panamerican games. But pregnancy left me 20 pounds over. I went to hospital, because of over work and tension. I attended house chores alone for almost 10 years, without any help, even nor from my mother, and my husband was at work most of the day, and I had to raise kids. When I came out of hospital I realized that I was not living happily nor healthy to me... so I got someone to help me with the house chores, kids help more, I ask my husband to cook on Sunday, and I ask some help on the week. And I Exercise!! I´m so happy, I ran my first marathon last sept. Complete 42kms! It was great, and I´ve lost 10 pounds. Our body is our souls machine! Blessings Oldsix!... Dainy

I'm glad that i'm healthier and have been adopting a healthy lifestyle since young. I'm very much a sporty person but i don't watch my diet. I don't like to count my calories. All i know is that, i can't eat more than my energy ourput for the day, or else my exercises would be deemed useless. I'm also lucky to have a sporty brother and bf, who will engage me in their activities whenever i'm free.

To be honest, i do not think the frame would be important. I think enough exercise, and balanced diet would keep one healthy, regardless of the frame. The body frame is just a gauge and a guide.

I'm very sorry to hear that. The health is the most important to everybody, so you must treat yourself well from childhood. Because it's too late to find you're sick. I'm a computer worker, and I sit before the computer whole day. It's bad to my body, my eyes and so on. But I stand up every hour for seeing the view outside the window, walking in the office about 1 minute. I walk after dinner over half an hour. And I do eye exercises every day. In the weekend, I do some other sports, like running, and so on.

From what I gathered from your description this chap has suffered a stroke since his right hand is paralyzed. I have not heard heard the term brain thrumbus. In any case more and more research points to the fact that we have to maintain a healthy body weight, eat little meat, lots of fruits and vegetables and excercise at least 5 days a week 30-45 minutes a day. I try to do this but it is hard to keep this schedule even for a retired person like myself. All we can do is try our best so we don't end up disabled.

Yes but I have lost 7 kgs last year. I lead a sedentary lifestyle previously but now I lead an active one. I hope your friend will change some of his habits like eating while playing on the computer and eats more vege.

I am fatter than I'd like to be, but I'm NOT inactive. Thus, I'm not concerned about brain thrumbus, whatever that is. (spell check doesn't know, either.)

I am definitely fatter than I want to be... I used to be slim all the time. I was pregnant with my son last year. Although I have lost half of it since he was boren but I am still wearing half of it. I gained more than 50 pounds when I was pregnant... I want to lose weight so bad but I don't feel exercising when it is so cold out... I wnat to wear all my fitted in summer clothes...

No, I don't want to be in his shoes. I'm glad I have motivation to do some exercises everyday and I'm glad I like my vegetables.

i've been trying to loose my extra fat for the past couple of months and I am only six lbs to go to my ideal weight. now, i do try to eat healthy foods and try to exercise 5 days a week.

I wouldn't want to be in his shoes either. I am overweight, but I do exercise.

No. Infact I'm looking for a way to gain weight. My metabolism is different I eat a lot but I dont get fat on my body I dont know why!

Who wants to be anyway? I felt bad for him. I hope he feels better soon. We all wanted to stay in shape and in good health but sometimes it's just hard to do plus the fact that most of the working individuals just buy food for lunch or breaks at any fast food restaurant doesn't make us healthier. I'm also talking here from experience, I gained extra weight because on my rest days I get tired of doing some exercises instead I take more sleep to cover for the days where i have not slept enough. But I guess we all need to be healthy, proper diet and food intake will help us a lot and a little but more often exercise will make it perfect.

I exercise five days a week, because I am very disciplined I no longer have to do it only but 30 minutes a day. I do eat healthy and am always watching what I consume. I do drink lots of water daily also. It is important no matter what size you are that some form of cardio should be done to keep the heart healthy.

That's harsh! Definitely I wouldn't to be in he's shoes, that's for sure. Well for me i can say I'm a computer addict myself. But i never did let go of my physical activity and other extra curricular activities. When i was in college i play for our Football nursing team, since i was a nursing student. Sometimes I also play basketball with my friends since its the only game all of us know how to play. But despite of my physical activities i could say i spend more time on my computer than me playing balls. Its really nice to have some physical activity especially when your sweating, I feel rejuvenated after a good game or a work out, I can feel my heart pounding intensely and it makes feel alive. Sad to hear about your friends case though.
