That's why it's good to run on a treadmill that tells you how many calories you've burned (even though I concede those probably aren't that accurate).  It's kind of eye opening to feel like you've busted your ass for a bit only to look at the display and see you've only burned 200 calories. :D

Ironically I have the opposite problem with my oldest son.  He often underestimates how much he needs to eat during the day to fuel his training regime and he often ends up being too tired to eat at the end of the day.

I've actually been getting more exercise lately.  They started this running group at the Psychiatrists office, and let me tell you, when you see a pack of jabbering maniacs behind you, you run fast!
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Exercise is good for your health in general, but the idea that you have to exercise to lose weight is highly disastrous for society's waistline.  It makes people think it's harder to lose weight than it really is, so they don't even try (for long).  It is more than sufficient for most people to merely eat properly, or more accurately to not eat improperly.  Just cut 80% of the sugary shit out of your diet.

This.  I lost about 20 lbs gradually over the past 1.5 years from simple dietary adjustments, and I don't do any "formal" exercise whatsoever, beyond trying to go for a daily walk or taking the stairs instead of the escalators at malls and whatnaught.

I don't know.  Raz's "Chased by lunatics" system could revolutionize the exercise industry.

This is why it's more important to focus on health, and not numbers on a scale.

People should exercise because it's healthy and good for them.  Just cutting back on calories and losing weight isn't actually getting you any healthier than you were being fat if you are still eating junk (though less of it) and not exercising.

Sounds nice in theory, but in practice, that's just a blah-blah excuse for ignoring the numbers on a scale.  And numbers on a scale do have an effect on your health, even with all else being the same.

You can focus on numbers that reflect fitness. Say a combination of how many pull ups you can do, how many crunches in a time period, and how long it takes you to run a certain distance. Say like the fitness test used by the marines.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

It has been my experience that in this culture you have to work at it or you will be fat. I just remember how weird it was to go to France, basically do the same shit I did here, and drop weight like nobody's business. So it does not surprise me alot of people are obese, they are just doing what is normal.

Our agricultural past leads to celebrate most major occasions with food. That is a biggie. Another is we are often too busy to really think about what we eat. It is a constant struggle for me, I have pretty much resigned myself to the fact I am going to be going to weight watchers my whole life. Got to make a point to exercise and all that. I am just a tad annoyed that it requires that much effort for me to live here and not be overweight. If only I had a crazy hobby like Dorsey.

How many major occasions do we have?  I don't think it's a bigger, and it's a biggie only to extent that we feel comfortable with pure gluttony.

Any type of gathering means overeating.
