You are thinking very obtusely.
There are OTHER ways to lose weight in addition to healthy eating habits. People enjoy different ways to lose weight or stay in shape. When I go to the gym I see people on treadmills, lifting weights (some just for toning), spinning, riding the bike, swimming, aerobics, yoga classes,basketball, raquetball, etc.
Beside, I don't know how motivated a fatty is going to be after you just tie some Nike's on them, point down the street and say "Run." I believe brisk walking and some aerobics might be a more sensible way to start someone off on the path to weight loss and hopefully a healthier lifestyle.
I'm only speaking for myself but running would be the last form of exercise I would do. I'm not fat either.
My 50 year old, thin and fit husband told me in 1984 that he'd start running if he ever sees a runner who's smiling...he's still waiting!
I'm happy for Kirstie. FWIW, a woman can't be fat, successful and happy in this country while paying mind to the MSM. A woman shouldn't lose weight for a man either but we all do it anyway.
Sheesh, why doesn't she just hire a nutritionalist and a trainer?
You said it right! I lost 60+ pounds by walking and watching what I ate (counted calories...what a concept, huh?). That was over 5 years ago and the plan still works! Lesson learned was you can't eat like a pig, not exercise and expect to be thin. I HATE to run...just not built for it, but I absolutely LOVE to walk. Not unusual for me to walk 5-7 miles a day when the weathers nice.
I'd rather dance :)
she got lazy...too bad
