I love the new research they present and the stories and the interviews and the inspiration. But I could seriously do without the diet and the "do this workout to be thinner" attitude. I like to workout to be FIT not THIN. I don't want to lose weight, and does anyone really follow their meal plans? It's just another tactic to get women to feel bad about their bodies.

The most annoying thing is that the tips are always the same: Drink more water, incorporate cardio, tone up with strength training, get good sleep, eat breakfast, calories in calories out...blah blah blah. Or worse, the get rich quick types.. "Get fit in 12 minutes!" The couch to 5K is my latest beef. Do you know it has people exercising for 12 minutes a day 3 days a week? 2 minutes of that is running. WHY do people buy into this stuff? Stay healthy. Skinny is out healthy is in.. and with healthy comes CONSISTENCY.

Any big changes (yo-yo) to your body constantly in terms of weight is unhealthy. Why not try portion control and a healthy dose of exercise and make a lifestyle out of it?<br />I know everyone fluctuates throughout the year, but eating too little will slow down your metabolism and do bad things and eating too much we know doesn't do well for anyone either.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923032870737424275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-17789151502210651872012-05-09T09:27:33.067-04:002012-05-09T09:27:33.067-04:00This made me giggle because this is a vicious cycl...This made me giggle because this is a vicious cycle that doesn't seem to have an ending for most people. Seems like we always all want to be someone we aren't and think that being "skinnier" will somehow make like easier and us happier. I don't diet, but I've never really struggled with my weight. I indulge when I want and bulk up on produce when I want, I think finding the balance is where most slip up. But even when I don't struggle with my weight, I still feel that it fluctuates, which is totally normal and I try not to obsess over this. <br /><br />Scales and diets are bad inventions, so I just pretend they don't exist :)Britt @ Chicago Runner Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628838959053342745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-27533733091857849242012-05-09T04:09:35.089-04:002012-05-09T04:09:35.089-04:00I had decided to get a subscription to Shape &...I had decided to get a subscription to Shape & Fitness...then I realized they both say the same thing! Decided against getting them. I do believe weight changes throughout the year (a little), but if you continue to be in control of it - then there you go. You know what is acceptable for you and your body and what isn't. I hate it when people tell me "Don't lose to much weight" or "you don't need to lose that much". Luckily, for me I know where I should be and once I get there (15 pounds to go) I plan on maintaining. There will be no reason to continue to lose or spend mega bucks on some new weightloss invention and I will continue to have 'salty' treats. :) No matter what the media is saying. The media has a way of taking really good things, even great things and making them bad. Just take a look at how the media as seriously influenced 'self image' - we all want to look like "that" - it's wrong. We should all want to look like ourself and realize just how beautiful we truly are.

My body puts on muscle easily, especially in my lower body, so if I ever set a goal to have thighs that don't rub, I'd end up being sickly. <br /><br />I feel like letting the "seasons" affect your weight loss goals is okay, as long as your goals are still based on you. If you are striving to look like someone else, that isn't good. Your goal should be to be healthy, and that isn't measured by the tag on your jeans.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790614672254668087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-81208660221938147392012-05-08T22:58:31.105-04:002012-05-08T22:58:31.105-04:00I don't even read those anymore because it is ...I don't even read those anymore because it is heartbreaking.
