So what you're saying is we should just say "fuck it" and eat the wine-flavored ice cream? Stop shitting on often-successful programs because it doesn't align with what works for you. The reason they've stayed in business for so long is because it *does* work for plenty of people.

Are we going to follow this with an article about how fat people aren't fat because they eat ice cream because I'm getting some conflicting information from Jezebel lately.

According to some courts, wearing tight jeans has meant that the girl wanted it and wasn't forced. IMAGINE what wearing provactive undies would say.

I have a pug and it's my favorite thing ever when he sleeps like this. Usually accompanied by extra-strength snorting and snores.

Having food and school doesn't mean you are exempt from mental illness.

No, we're going to talk about its cute grumpy face. Don't be a buzzkill.

Funny, he didnt make all that money by himself.

Agreed. I'm about 160, and even to me, that sounds like a lot of weight, despite it not being (relatively speaking) that much. I'd never ever ever evvvvvvvvver say anything like that, but having a father who was morbidly overweight (ie had several health problems stemming from it and eventually passed away from it)…

"I really don't understand the whole obsession with losing weight by people who don't need to."

I'm agreeing with you here. I've probably complained about my body to my bigger friends, but never with the implication of "I'm glad that I'm not your size."

It sounds like you lose, since you can't stop focusing on your thinner friends. Seriously, why such a big deal? Just because your friend and you have different body sizes doesn't mean that you don't share the same mindset about your bodies (ie not liking them)

Oh for christ's sake, get over it. It's the gym. We all pay to use it, and if someone wants to use a particular machine. For example, I fucking LOVE the two different-brand treadmills at my gym, while there are plenty of the first brand, there are only two of the smooth-running ones. If someone is on that other one,…

I'm sorry that you see an inherent problem in people who go to the gym to lose weight. Just because they want to, doesn't mean you have to snark on it. I don't judge people at the gym, why are you just because they're thin and possibly want to stay that way? What does it matter why someone goes to the gym? Why can't…

She probably didn't mean "you're so good about coming" as a slight. Most people join gyms, go for two or three weeks, then bail.

Maybe that guy shouldn't assume other people are insecure around him (ie "Don't flatter yourself, bro") and how is 90 minutes her "giving up"?

Same. I see a lot of the same people in my gym (guy who wears blue shorts with brown shirt, girl with yellow shoes, etc) that it's almost like oh hey my workout pals are here even though i've never so much as said hi to them.

That sucks, but I wouldn't write it off as malicious. I tend to run on treadmills next to people who are in better shape (read: running faster, not looking thinner) than I am as it tends to motivate me.

So you can tear apart this writer but then have the gall to link to your blog? Not cool.

If it makes you feel better, know that 99% of the people at the gym aren't looking at you. If they are, it's, "I wonder when I can use that treadmill because it's 5:30 and I need to do this that and the other thing and ugh why did I come after work when this place is so crowded dammmmmmitttttt" not "Ugh, why can't…

So a thin person running five miles doesn't impress you but a fat person running one does? It sounds a bit to me like you've got a little "one less fatty in the world" mentality going on. If you're going to be impressed by exercise, be impressed by it regardless of the person's size.
