Advise on loosing weight...for guys mostly

My mother-in-law won a year's supply of them for me so I stuck them in the back of the cupboard....I found them again about 10 years later - still as good as new... they should have used them for some sort of exterior cladding for houses!!!! I tell my husband to read your post when he comes in... Regards"

If you have been leading a sedentary lifestyle for the last couple years or more, the first couple of times in the gym are going to hurt like a sunuvabich. Suck it up and keep with it, the sore muscle will go away. 2. Stretching does help, do it. 3. If you’re a broke dick like me and running is out of the question, bicycling and swimming are great exercises that will give you the same aerobic effect without making your knees beg for mercy. 4. If you choose to go for a bike ride, make sure you have a patch kit and a tire pump. Pushing a bike 3 miles in the cold, while still considered exercise, is not fun in the least. 5. If you opt for swimming, and are male, make sure that your shorts fit properly so that diving into the pool does not disrobe you. After a dip in a cold pool, you do not look nearly as cool as when you went in. Not to mention the fact that the ladies synchronized swim team will invariably be on hand for such an incident. 6. Gimmick diets do not work. I tried the toothpick diet wherein I was permitted to eat anything my little heart desired so long as I used a toothpick to consume said goodies. This was actually working great until I found this kick ass recipe for Swedish Meatballs. 7. If it tastes good, you can’t have it. 8. If it takes like it has already been eaten once, you’re supposed to eat a lot of it. 9. Celery makes a good healthy snack, but you aren’t doing yourself any real favors if you consume half a pound of peanut butter or cream cheese in conjunction with the celery. 10. Wheat Thins and Triscuts are en economical snack in that they taste like shit, and will last a good long time in your pantry. Not only that, you can eat the box as well and not notice an appreciable taste difference, and probably get just as much fiber. 11. Break down one a week and let yourself have one of those bad naughty foods you keep avoiding. It will be much easier to preserve your sanity if you do. Once bottle of soda or one cheese burger isn’t going to kill you. If you feel that guilty about it, spend a few more minutes on the treadmill that day to atone for your sins. 12. When the weight starts to come off, and you can see your dork when you look down, it is all worth it. Stick with it."
