Where are they all going?

They say that you can't outrun the fork. I found that is not true. At over 35miles/week, I was able to outrun the fork. So for those that choose not to run 35miles/week, watch what you eat.

I wish I still could. At 82 I do good to walk 2 miles.
I'm retired Army 1SG, Infantry drill sergeant for many years. Running and forced marches w/ 80# pack were my trade. Now my hips and knees limit me to walking.
I think I'm in good shape for 82, I still do 30-40 sit-ups a day, or the same amount of leg-lifts, and weight 172#.
Nothing however limits working my new to me, MF451 w/loader tractor.

I heard a new one this week. A woman told me she had been eating a lot of candy, trying to become diabetic; because of some shot her friends are taking which made them lose weight.
All of that sugar didn't work, but it did seem to add to her weight.

I can’t believe people still believe in magic pills

I am amazed how well some of them work though, and I would be in big trouble without allergy medications sometimes! Or even just ibuprofen for taking down a fever. It seems the weight loss pill isn't quite there yet?
What works for me, is just not having the bad food in the fridge or cupboards, you can eat a heck of a lot of carrots before you put on weight!

I generally consume 2# baby carrots a week; snacking while reading forums on the web. They're hard on fillings though, I've broken 2 this year.
The best thing helping me maintain/lose weight is the Dr.s instructions to drink 8 full 12oz glasses of water a day to keep my kidneys functioning. (I had kidney failure 3 years ago this month [blood poisoning] and recovered-no more dialysis)
