Bastard.  :censored: :-)

Sure, shift work is hard, you never seem to eat right, and often you are eating right before you go to bed...

But I call bullshit on this:

She must of ate 24/7....or she is lying. Walking four to five hours a day and not ever seeing one pound gone??? Of course, we all know that DUmmies lie, this should be no exception.



Just remember eating and never gaining weight doesn't mean healthy insides.

BTW, good catch. I was just thinking how long it takes me to do about 4 miles and that's with some interval work in between a fast stride and it's close to an hour. Let's say she even walked the same pace, then she just admitted she exercises 3 hours a day. I'm not buying that. I don't think she has any concept of how far they really walk, but guesses based on exertion. It's really surprising when you actually note it is and how much time it would take to coverthat much ground. If that was the truth, she'd get a lot more out of group fitness in a gym for 3 hours a day, but since she said she has no time to workout, I'm calling total bs on the fact she spends 3 hours a day walking that 12 miles(which is what it would take at the pace she's likely going--probably longer).

Frank also has a point, although it may not be realistic for her to switch her schedule. Perhaps the husband can take over some of the household duties so when she gets up at 4 she can go workout. Plus, if she's working 12 hour days, she's likely working either a 3 or 4 workday week--that's only half the week! What about the other half? My guess is she sees exercise(right now) as work so feels like she doesn't want to do it on her 'day's off' but in order to kick some ass, she just might have to look at things differently and really go full boar during those days off to reach her weight loss goes and perhaps be extra vigilant with her diet during those days too to optomize her weight loss.

That's why if a person isn't going to do anything else I always recommend weight training. Don't need a lot of time, you can even do some exercises while you're sitting down. Muscle burns calories at a MUCH higher rate than fat. Building muscle practically guarantees weight loss as long as you don't eat things like cheesecake all day long. You can even combine the 2 kinds of exercise in one compact little 10 minute package (http://www.crossfit.com has a new one posted every day).

My body type means I have to work out 5 to 6 days a week if I want to stay at my current weight, plus I'm short so extra pounds really show. That's life. I make time because I'm just vain enough to care about what I look like.

I agree she's not realistic about what she's expending versus taking in, but I don't think she's bsing on sizes. She is probably well proportioned so a very TIGHT size 16 at 200 lbs for her height sounds about right. People with apple shapes really can't judge gal with a good hourglass or pear shaped--they just will not fit into the same size at the same weight, even if they are both doing the same amount of working out. The shape makes a huge difference into what you can fit into.

Oh, I agree, when women are toned, they can weigh more and wear smaller sizes, but I am working off the assumption she is NOT. Maybe, but if she is not burning any weight, I find it hard to believe she is toned. I am very curvy, definately hourglass, and weigh in about 125-135, depending on if I have gained way too much. I need to tone up again, I usually lose at least 10 lbs. after about a month. On the size thing, I was working off my knowledge of dressing women in their 40's, 50's, and 60's. I know I couldn't get any of them in anything near the sizes she is talking about, and I worked in a pretty upscale little boutique, and sizes ran larger. Maybe she is lucky, who knows. I tend to think she is not being realistic about anything she posted, and that is not really unusual. Does anyone really want to look at their bad habits and then announce them to all their buddies? Especially one of the DUmmies? As Cindie says here, they lie, a lot.  :-)

There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as caring and sensitive because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he is willing to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he will do good with his own money— if a gun is held to his head.

Well then age probably has a lot to do with it...She said she was 33, didn't say anything about children so probably has a tighter stomach line, even with the excess waist then middle aged women(of which I am approaching very quickly :-)) I've just never wore a 12 at 140 ever, even when I was younger, but then young women don't generally accumulate it on their tummy as much--more tush and hips--and even when they do they have nice taut(sp) skin to hold in that excess. As I've had children and now am approaching the big 40, I have what I call 'resistant pooch' I didn't once have. The waistline keeps me in a 10 versus the 8. LOL I find I've almost traded shapes to some extent being more apple then the hourglass I once was so I get what you are saying--women accumulate weight differently depending on their age. :cheersmate:

But like you said, DUmmies never give it to you with total accuracy as was pointed out about the 12 mile daily walks that she supposedly takes.  :-) Cheers happy1 :cheersmate:

I understand totally. I just turned 43 a couple of weeks back, and I have a 20 yr old and a 19 yr old. Nothing is as tight as it used to be! I was one of those people that everyone tried to feed, and accused of anorexia up until I turned about 35. Then the s#it hit the fan! :-) I started putting on weight that did NOT want to go away. I was really freaked out. I had never dieted or exercised before. I suck at it, but congrats on your weight loss!  :cheersmate:
