There is one simple equation to lose weight

i am not a fitness expert, but there is all this crap about how to lose weight. it all comes down to one simple equation eat less exercise more forget all this crap a lot of the people on this board think you know it all what makes you a expert??? you have a degree? if you don't have a degree you are jsut elling your opinion and not true facts bye i hope everyone is

2 things.

1) You're right about the less food, more exercise... mostly. It should be less calories, more exercise... becaause I could consume less food by eating X pounds of sugar, where X < Previous Amount Of Food Consumed in Pounds ... but that wouldn't make me lose weight... in fact, I'd probably gain.

2) Yes, these are just opinions and as I don't have a degree, I'm not going to claim to be an expert. However, I WILL say that just because you don't have a degree doesn't mean you don't know how to do something and vice versa. For instance, I have guinea pigs. I trust a vet who hardly ever deals with guinea pigs, but has a degree, FAR less than somebody who has had hundreds of them, but doesn't have a degree.

~M'isa Just because you know how to do something doesn't mean you CAN

In case you haven't noticed, the regulars on here

Tell me, M'isa, did you get a private, insulting e-mail from the guy,

Just ignore this illiterate Troll.

Denise can't ignore trolls. We make our livings helping trolls get fit! If we ignored them, we would have no income! Didn't you read the novel, 'Valley of the Trolls', by somebody or other? It details how those poor trolls are overcome with desire for diet pills, diuretics, and cheap infomercial muscle shocker machines. What could be more pathetic??

The old 'eat less, move more' song has been around forever. I take credit for it, and so do Rosie O'Donnell, and Richard Simmons, for all I know. Hey, it's a cool litany, and all true!

Anyhow, if this certified bozo wants to troll, let him. It's 'Be Kind To Assholes Week', after all... Cheers, Bill Whedon Certified Personal Fitness Trainer
