I eat whatever I like but have stayed at a solid 10-10.5 st since forever. I do play sports though. We'll see what happens after a few months at my job sitting in an office chair all day. Getting fat will be a brand new adventure!

That's sort of where I'm at too, I don't go out of my way to exercise but any job I have ever had has involved walking around (I once brought a pedometer to work and by the end of my eight hour shift I'd walked four or five miles or something) so I'll wager that has something to do with it.Quote:

Though on the other hand I once read somewhere that people who fidget a lot tend to weigh less and I fidget like you would NOT believe
Paiku, is Milf still harping that exercise is pointless and that he wants to transport his brain into a robot's body?
Exercise is awesome. I dunno how effective fidgeting is for exercise (probably not more than a desk job) - everybody should do it. Not because I want a society of spartans but that it builds strong bones, improvement in nutrition leads to longevity, and limits or eliminates long term nursing care which is a strain on (at least in Ontario) society.
blah blah blah nobody listens to pg. :)
Well I want that too. Sort of. I want a robot brain as well. :monster:Quote:

Robot brains deserves its own GC topic.
on topic:
>The extra motion by lean people is enough to burn about 350 extra calories a day
That sufficient to cover my caloric needs for mild cardio. And actually 350 calories is about 0.7 lbs per week. Granted it's just 0.7 lbs of (whatever), but it's a start.
In the past 2 and half months due to the couple rounds of steroids i've taken *flex* i've gain almost 20 lbs x.x BUT my sister is coming down to visit for two weeks and to do her Personal Training certification test thing. So I'ma make her be my free PT. Lucky me it's right after my surgery so I can do it! Hopefully by the end of next month I'll be back down to what my normal weight was. Drugs suck and are bad mmmkay.
Although, I need to eat more veggies like foa said. I eat too much meat. I don't wanna be a rabbit! Steak is too tasty!
>>> Just run/walk a lot.. If you are hardcore try to get a pair of Skechers Shape-Ups SRT/SRR for that, or else you will hurt your feet badly..:luca:
How much meat do you actually eat? As long as it's lean you can damn near eat as much as you want and you'll still be able to get lean. In fact, eating enough protein is basically required to get lean.Quote:

Hell, even focusing on clothes size can be misleading when you're building muscle while losing fat.
When I started Crossfit I packed on quite a bit of muscle while still losing fat. A few months in I ended up with shirts not fitting in spots where they used to give me no trouble while my pants were feeling loose around the waste, and I hadn't lost a pound. If I remember correctly I had actually gained about 5 or so.
EDIT:
I wouldn't recommend those shape-ups to anyone personally. I honestly question if the people who designed them ever actually stopped to think about how the foot is supposed to move when walking or running. Some people at Skechers could use a lesson in proper bio-mechanics I think.Quote:

Build up mileage gradually over the course of a few weeks, but your feet, legs, back, and general posture will be better off for it.
I was gonna troool you but then you asked the second question and smurf you peegies.Quote:
