Well then, let me oblige you!

WHO WANTS PUPPIES?

I see a woman who has like 6 of them, and they all wear hand knitted sweaters when they go out for a walk.

I wish I could go back in time and tell this to 14-year-old me. My dad got us a bench, and I loved using it, but I didn't figure legs were that big of a deal.

Another thing, legs. Dudes tend to ignore leg workouts in favor of upper body stuff when the legs are large muscle groups that need and will burn calories when worked on/developed.

mine is woven of afterbirth, with hemp tassels.

I made my own with repurposed duct tape.

Yeah, but my yoga mat is woven from organic, free-range lentils so obviously I am winning.

It's not that that advice is wrong, but much like "eat less, move more", it's so broad that it's essentially useless. It's like if someone came to you asking for career advice and you said "Do good at your job." That advice isn't wrong, but it's also not good advice.

athleisure. This is a disease right?

Spoiler alert: they will.

I would add one more thing. You can't lose weight through exercise alone. I've tried it. And tried it. And tried it. It doesn't work. I might lose 8-10 pounds through exercise alone but weight loss comes down to eating less. Exercise will boost your results but if you can't control what's going into your mouth,…

I think it's part envy and part wanting to let you know they like you the way you are. They reconcile that by saying things like "You don't need to lose weight, you're beautiful now" Uhh, thanks? I'm not trying to get more beautiful (as if that's even possible, amirite??? KIDDING) I'm trying to get rid of the body…

"you need to learn the language of calories and macronutrients." This is such a good way to describe it. Nine years ago I lost 50 pounds and felt like a million bucks. I wasn't skinny, started to wear size medium everything. While I have been struggling with 20 of them (up, down, up, down, up), I still keep hold…

Lesson 5.

The one thing I didn't know is that your shoe size changes. Growing up and at my heaviest, I was a size 10-1/2-11. I lost 110 pounds initially and went down to a size 9. Gained about 60 pounds back and I went back up to a size 10. I knew my closet would be a mess, but my shoes?!

On #3, you forgot jealous types. I started down the health path about 16 months ago. Not a weight loss path. Weight loss was the positive side effect. There were quite a few people around me that tried to pull me down but hopefully I can continue to resist. Also I will be finding some new friends.

I never dealt with #3. I was big my entire life. I actually weigh less now at 30 years old than I did at 13 years old. I went from my heaviest of 345 to now right at 200. I feel great and I've kept it off for about 2 years now. The most annoying thing for me and my fiance as well has to do with people that knew me…

i tell people that i needed to lose weight because my doctor told me i was going to die and that usually shuts them up from saying stupid shit
