Replies metalhealthpatient Posted at 6:13 am on Oct. 1, 2008 heres advice STOP FUCKING EATING SO GOD DAMN MUCH Duke Posted at 6:08 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from Raspy at 7:52 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Treadmills dont lie. Maybe not, but they guestimate. Weight loss comes down to one basic law of biology. You lose weight if you consume fewer calories than you burn. So Michael Phelps can eat 5000 calories or whatever ungodly amount he eats, but he stays skinny because he swims 8 hours a day, burning huge amounts of energy. So how much work you will have to do to lose weight depends on your fitness level, overall condition, diet, calorie burn level and other factors. Raspy Posted at 6:01 am on Oct. 1, 2008 But are are pretty accurate. rosebud Posted at 5:56 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from Raspy at 10:52 pm on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from rosebud at 5:48 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from Raspy at 10:48 pm on Oct. 1, 2008 Obviously unless I spend 8 hours in  a gym im never going to burn off that much.    you burn most of your calories just being alive, breathing, moving around a little bit, etc.,    all the running and rowing and cycling is just a few hundred extra Treadmills dont lie. yes they do http://archive.recordonline.com/archive/2005/05/18/treadmil.htm Raspy Posted at 5:52 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from rosebud at 5:48 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from Raspy at 10:48 pm on Oct. 1, 2008 Obviously unless I spend 8 hours in a gym im never going to burn off that much. you burn most of your calories just being alive, breathing, moving around a little bit, etc., all the running and rowing and cycling is just a few hundred extra Treadmills dont lie. rosebud Posted at 5:48 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from Raspy at 10:48 pm on Oct. 1, 2008 Obviously unless I spend 8 hours in  a gym im never going to burn off that much. you burn most of your calories just being alive, breathing, moving around a little bit, etc., all the running and rowing and cycling is just a few hundred extra Raspy Posted at 5:48 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Obviously unless I spend 8 hours in  a gym im never going to burn off that much.
