If weight loss is what you're looking for then here's what you need. The best combination for weight loss is calorie restriction, resistance training, and aerobic work. Let's start with calorie restriction. Over the years I have had personal training clients as well as athletes come to me wondering why they are not losing weight. They tell me they eat right, exercise right, say their prayers, eat their vitamins, etc., and they just can't seem to lose weight. Well, most of the time, once I really get to know them, I find that nutrition is the culprit. You need to know what you're eating. Most of the people I'm talking about all thought they did. \n\nHow do you change this? Well, it may sound tough, but it's not that bad. You need to keep track of what you eat for 2 days over the week, and 1 day over the weekend. Next, go to you're local book store. You can find charts, books, and computer programs that will help you analyze the foods you ate. Another suggestion would be to take your dietary recall to a nutritionist or exercise physiologist at your local college and let them find it for you. \n\nThese recalls will tell you how many calories you're getting plus where they are coming from. For example, are they coming from protein, carbohydrate, or fat. It will help you see where you stand nutritionally. \n\nNext, you need to get on a good strength program. When a person is losing weight, the weight comes from fat, as well as muscle. That's kind of an unfortunate thing because muscle is an important thing when keeping metabolism high. There is enough research out there to safely say that when going through a phase of high intensity aerobic work and calorie restriction, strength training decreases muscle wasting. So, in short, strength-train. It's important. I wouldn't strength-train for anymore that 20 to 30 minutes. You can get what you need in a short period of time. \n\nAfter the strength training, it's time to get on the bike, treadmill, stepper, track, whatever. Keep your workouts to 30 minutes and up in order to burn the calories. Train between 3 to 5 times per week. Keep your heart rate at 60 to 90% of heart rate max. \n\nDon't look at losing weight as some mysterious monster that you can't get the reins on. Look at it as nothing more than stored energy. That's what fat is?stored energy. If you had a tank full of energy and it kept filling up higher and higher, what would you do to keep your tank from growing too large from the excess energy? Well, burn some of the energy off. That's what you need to do to lose weight. Keep the "energy in" lower than the "energy out" and abracadabra, you're losing weight. \n\nNote: You need to change your routine every 2-3 weeks in order to get the best results. \n\nMonday \n\n\nLeg Press 2x12 \nChest Press 2x12 \nLat pull down 2x12 \nShoulder Press 2x12 \nDB Curl 2x12 \nTricep kickback 2x12 \nAerobic Work  30 or more minutes. \n\n Click Here For A Printable Log Of Monday! \n\nTuesday \n\n\nAerobic work 30 or more minutes of aerobic exercise.\nWednesday \n\n\nSame as Monday.\nThursday \n\n\nSame as Monday, or take a day of rest.\nFriday \n\n\nSame as Monday.

I think it would be discrimination if you were qualified and they didn't hire you because you're overweight.  They could say they didn't hire you for another reason, and it might be hard to prove what the real reason was.

If he or she is competent and does their job well, then appearance has nothing to with my respect.\n\nHowever, if they are lazy and inept, I'll be the first to MOCK their size. \n\nIt's relative....

No, that is not true. Fat people dont want to be fat. It could be hormonal, it could be metabolism or whatever. Its like telling an autistic kid that he is not reading or concentrating enough, and thats what makes him autistic. Obesity really is a medical issue. Its not as easy as starving yourself or running everyday. \nIt is harderer for some to lose wt than the others. You can critize the policy to hand out money to these guys, but calling them lazy isnt fair... ITS SHALLOW!!

why not? It's not like they can't handle it. and if they can't then you can just cancel their account. Besides it gives them a chance to prove that they are responsible.

Unfortunately you have a point. Obesity is causing many problems in our society. It is placing such a strain on our health system as the beds are no longer adequate, we need bigger chairs on planes etc. I think instead of insults we need to educate people and use the same tactics we use on war/cigarettes or anything that is harmful.

Not a chance. They don't have the arm strength, power or speed. I'm not trying to be sexist but that's basic human physiology.

they do a lot.. at one point i was able to do 200 a day... oh those were the days... back when i had a really tight flat tummy.  you need to do a lot like at least 100 a day to really notice.  i could flex them a bit and feel them when i moved, my sides and tummy were tighter and flater and pulled in, i was stronger too which is what you feel when you move yoru body and pick things up.  it was really awesome took about a month before i started noticing them and about two months before they were really noticeable... don't give up you can do it.

And exactly how would you propose that we ensure the listing of their weight be done accurately?  What would the cut off be?  Say I'm 5'4" but 150lbs - way over my ideal BMI - but my body fat is at 4% since muscle weighs more than fat.....Hmmmm - do I get taxed because of my weight?  Or what about the guy who weighs 251 lbs, and files his taxes - getting nailed with the "fat tax" and then loses 2 lbs the next day which puts him under the "fat tax" limit....is he entitled to a refund?  yes - obesity is a horrible thing and it wouldn't be wonderful if such a thing didn't exist.  Yes it causes health problems, but so does drinking  and having sex.......so should we have a special tax for those people who choose to engage in risky sexual activity - how would you track that? Spy in their bedrooms?  Or those that drink a case of beer a night?  Can't over tax the beer - you are punishing me when I drink one case a year.
