How do I commit suicide?

[Flagg]

Is this the same guy who posted "Does this make me Bi?" and "Should I use a prostitute."?

Yes. Yes it is. He's a classic troll. I honestly don't know why he's still here unless they are doing April Fools prep really early this year.

I gave a suggestion privately to a mod but I guess it's not being considered so I will repeat it here: Ban Lord Falcon and hand this thread over to law enforcement in his county.

Step 1: make suggestion to mod
Step 2: have mod tell you he will forward it to the admins for consideration
Step 3: whine in public about said suggestion not being considered.

GG.

If you think Falcon is faking or a troll, the point is now made. The mods have taken this thread very seriously. Any more discussion on the issue will not be tolerated.

If you have further concerns, feel free to PM any of the mods.

Lord Falcon, I'm no expert on this matter, but if you are insecure about your weight...why don't you just work out more?

Don't go to extremes, of course, but you could always hire a fitness trainer, or get a gym membership and work out once or twice every week.

Gym memberships and trainers cost money, lots of money in some cases.

I used to have a problem with my weight, still do to a lesser extent. I'm currently saving like mad with my partner trying to save for a house so Gyms and Trainers are out for me. I also have restrictions on what exercise I can do due to diabetes but if you watch your eatting and go for regular brisk walks the weight will drop off.

Don't put yourself down Falcon, I went through a lot of my life thinking I was ugly. Beauty is subjective, everyone has a type and there are things you can do. Style your hair, wear more flattering clothes that kind of thing. Nothing is more sexy than self confidence, if you don't think you're attractive how will anyone else.

The holidays are a difficult time for many, there is pressure to be insanely happy this time of year and it can be easy to slip in to a downward spiral. Concentrate on your positives. What have you got going right in your life, unless you are homeless and begging for change there must be something you do right.

If you can't go to the gym go for a fucking jog, absolutely free, and do press ups and sit ups, start lifting household things like dumbbells. There, no money needed.

I've lost somewhere between 40 and 50 lbs over the past three months by adjusting my food intake and regular 5+ miles walks.

Willpower and motivation matter.

This cannot be stressed enough. Will power. The personal motivation to do the hard thing. That is the key to losing weight.

Losing weight isn't hard. Losing weight and keeping it off is.

[ArmorPierce]

Yup. The primary way people lose weight is by lowering their intake of calories rather than exercise. Exercise is good for your health and cutting some extra weight off the top, but limiting of your calorie consumption is the primary means of losing weight. The amount of calories you burn off doing exercise for the average person is miniscule compared to the amount of calories you consume. Exercised for the last half an hour jogging? Good, you just burned off that 1 cookie you ate. I don't get why people can't figure it out or do it. You lose weight by the lack of doing something (eating so damn much), it's not that difficult and not rocket science.

[aerius]

The average person exercises like a wuss. If you actually tried you can easily burn off 1200 calories an hour, which more than half a box full of cookies.

That was an average pace mountain bike ride. As in we were waiting up on people in the 50's.

So yes, diet matters, but exercise plays a large part as well.

[Stark]

The very unfit can't perform like that, though. It's a long process to get in shape, and people often give up if they don't 'see results' quickly.

Nor do they need to perform like that to get in decent shape. In fact, as someone who can handle exercise like that, I wouldn't want to anyways, it's fucking boring spending 3 hours on a bike.

Yea, it takes a long time to get there but, cycling is very good shit. And Block, watching your fucking tongue, never blaspheme about my beloved cycling like that again. Check this out and consider I was at 285 lbs once, now at about at 180 lbs and pushing it, getting fitter every day. Ride

Regardless, if you lack diet control exercise will just make you hungry and eat more. Exercise is about strength or cardiovascular endurance, not weight.

The problem is saying you can't stop stuffing yourself with 2x your food requirement makes you sound like an undisciplined loser whereas saying you can't cycle 10 miles a day sounds like a reasonable objection. Therefore people prefer to believe the latter.

This is true. I've improved what I eat and how I eat, and everyday is still very much an exercise in calorie counting or at least awareness in what I am eating.

Given that discussion has strayed and that there is nothing more to say, this thread is locked.
