I say we have an @cinemagoddess@jack19 who can drink the most a1 without puking virtual contest.
Remember the first season of Top Chef?
Remember the Junk Food challenge?
I would totally win that.
Can I substitute my DH in the A1 drink off? Dude can drink a pint of beer in about 2 seconds.

I don't think our sessions during the week last long enough for any substantial calorie burning. I think a blowjob will burn 100 calories in 30 minutes but my jaw can't handle that long.
What the hell kind of blow jobs are you giving?!
?? I just read that somewhere.
I don't think I've ever given a BJ that lasted more than 10 minutes so I wouldn't count on sexual acts for substantial calorie burning.
What I don't understand is those of you saying you don't have time to workout because you only have an hour or so after work with your kid until they go to bed. Well if your kid goes to bed at 7/7:30, that's like 3 hours that you have to exercise before you have to go to bed. I would kill to have my kids go to bed that early. They usually aren't asleep until 9pm and then I put in my workout DVD. Sometimes I don't finish working out until 10:30pm, which sucks, but I do it because I'm not going to make excuses. If you really want to be healthy and exercise, you'll make it happen, While, I don't really agree with the line in her photo, because I think it comes off as bitchy, I do think she is right.
Sad that I'm the only love tit you got. It's even sadder that so few people make healthy eating and exercise a lifestyle choice considering 70% of Americans are overweight and/or obese. You can fill your kids plate with healthy foods all you like but your kids learn by the example you set. If you don't show kids the importance of healthy eating and regular exercise by modeling it the next generation is going to head down the same path. But you know pointing out the importance of that just means you're a self righteous asshole.
I'm really sad you guys aren't letting your tastebuds enjoy the delight of A1 covered steak.
seriously! why do i always get stuck in the fucking text box?! steak is best when drenched in worchestershire sauce. A1 is pretty good, but for dipping your steak into.

I do agree with one part of your statement.
And do people really not get that using the word "excuses" to talk about someone's lifestyle is really obnoxious?
I'm not anti-raisin. I'm anti-raisin in cookies because you might think you're getting a delicious chocolate chip cookie and you find out that what you thought were chocolate chips were actually raisins.

Anywho - Anyone who thinks that we don't take health seriously because we enjoy eating food is just dumb. Srsly. Healthy eating and exercise is important, but sometimes other things are more important, like sleep and sex and just relaxing after a long day. And that saying "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels"? Bullshit. Total bullshit. I could name 1000 foods that taste better than thin feels. Be healthy, no matter what the scale/pants size/flabbiness so the gut says.
The blogger the OP's talking about did nothing more than try to shame other people for not doing what she did. Her message, which could have been one of inspiration, was lost behind a thin veil of self-righteous douchebaggery.
KC and moosha are falling into that same trap. Don't be that guy.

A-fuckin-'men CG and LauraT. What people don't get is that if Maria Kang wanted to inspire people, she should've put on some clothes and made it about being healthy. She didn't. She made it about appearance. End of story. If people can't see that, well then...
Also, I think we should send this thread to Maria so she can see how she inspired us...to talk about yummy food.
Oh good the lectures are back. I love talking about food, but I love debating over whether someone is being douchey more.
People have REASONS not to make excercise their number one priority (which blog chick, kc, and moosh may disagree are valid, but I don't put much stock in twatwaffley opinions). Calling those reasons 'excuses' is a backhanded way to call people lazy fatasses for having different priorities.
Furthermore, even when most people DO put a ton of effort into being healthy, that doesn't mean their goal should be to look like the blog girl. In fact, I would respect her a hell of a lot more if she had used a picture of herself working out instead of just looking cute in spandex.
No one here is saying that it isn't okay to eat healthy and/or exercise. No one is saying it is a bad goal. What people ARE saying is that it is dickish to impose your ideal onto others and judge them for not conforming.
OK, I am going to go back to 'liking' the anti-raisin/cream cheese/A1 posts now.
I admit her delivery could have been better and it should have focused on getting healthy, not just getting a six pack though I think a mom lifting weights at the gym fully clothed would have gathered about five likes from people on her friends list. It is bringing light to a huge issue (no pun intended) in this country. I'm not saying that exercise is my number one priority or should be anyone's and I'm not saying the goal of fitness and healthy eating is to be the cookie cutter image of her (I'm sure as hell not). Moms not making time for health and physical fitness is not like choosing whether to bf or ff--their choices not only impact their own life but their child's life and society as a whole as well. People shouldn't try to sweep the issue under the rug.
Know what's more of a motivator to exercise than this woman's abs? My dad having triple bypass surgery in April. That will motivate me more than this will.

You realize she has a mass of followers and did prior to this, right?
And I get way more than 5 likes on my weight lifting pics, fuck you very much.
Perhaps. I don't think a picture of her fully clothed at the gym lifting would be circling the Internet right now and we wouldn't be talking about it. That's a fact.
So basically she's getting all the attention because she's mostly naked?
FANTASTIC.
Only mostly naked women are worthy of internet attention. That's not misogynistic AT ALL.

Making national news doesn't mean she's making a difference or starting positive discussions about fitness/diet/obesity that will motivate people to make changes.
Instead she's made people angry and she's come across as very judgmental. This image doesn't make me want to work out and get fit. This makes me roll my eyes at her. Talking about "excuses" doesn't make me work out at night.
Offending people and implying (or straight up saying) that they're making excuses and setting bad examples for their children and screwing their children for life because they'll imitate their mommy's bad habits isn't starting a productive conversation about obesity and health and fitness.

I had really long response typed up, but then I realized my story won't change KC's mind. It can be summed up in this: my "excuse" may keep me from ever having six-pack abs, but it doesn't stop me from demonstrating a healthy lifestyle to DS.
That, and golden raisins soaked in rum are the only acceptable raisins in raisin oatmeal cookies.
Sorry to keep bumping this post but I really like this reply. I would rather my daughter see me run a marathon and be proud of that rather than six-pack abs.
I'm really sad because in the short, short time I've been here, you've been one of my favorites. I like and agree with most everything you say. But this just breaks my heart. Cream cheese is wonderful.
Carrot cake with lots of raisins & cream cheese frosting is one of the most delicious things ever. So is cheesecake.
White chocolate is the American cheese of confections. Maybe it shouldn't really be called chocolate, and maybe it isn't so tasty on its own, but it shines in the right setting, like brownies, cookie, and mochas.

It's also an excellent vehicle for certain ganaches.
Carrot cake should not be considered cake because well...carrots.

Maybe that doesn't motivate you and i can certainly see why some people would be put off. The truth of the matter is she has nearly 200k people following her so obviously the "no excuses" message does motivate some. If she offended a million people but motivated 1% of her followers to take a look at themselves and make some positive changes, then its worth it.
I see so many people trashing her approach. What do you think is a better way to bring to light how few moms are fit? What do you think will motivate moms who have poor eating habits and little to no exercise in their life to make positive changes?

"Hey guys. Hey. I know lyfe is hard and sometimes it gets you down. Exercise is a great way to make yourself feel better, both emotionally and physically. I have three small kids. I know how hard it is. Making the time for yourself to work out is an important way to maintain your sanity as well as (possibly) shrinking your waistline. Start with exercising 10 minutes a day three days a week and work yourself up to an hour. You can do it!"
Of course, that's not nearly as sexy as seeing her in spandex so it wouldn't have gotten her as many views. She's now known because of her douchebaggery, not for her compassion. So she's not the person to look up to or use as a motivator. Hell, Jillian Michaels is a better motivator that she is, and Jillian admits she's a bitch.
