All your talk about how awesome stats are and you have yet to produce a single set of data to support your arguments. I could spin up some data and produce some stats on your posts and conclude that you don't seem all that bright. Any good stats professor will tell you on the first day of class that there exist lies, damn lies, and stats. Stats without context are useless. Stats designed with a certain conclusion in mind are useless. Stats in which the reader has no knowledge of how to interpret are useless.
Show us that you have some good stats, that you know how to read them, and that you know what you are talking about.
A blog + USA Today? It means it's a sudden media fad.
Maybe men gain weight after marrying, because they finally have someone to cook for them, and can get off their all sandwiches all the time bachelor diet.
Yes, I know what the noun maroon means - which is how it was used - and still don't see how it relates to the post. Maybe there's an urban dictionary version that I am not familiar with or maybe it's just over my head.
Ok, this is embarrassing but I'll tell you guys anyway. I'm 5'7 and weighed 150 when I met my husband, which isn't thin but didn't look bad because of the way my weight gets distributed on my body. When I got pregnant, I swear the censor in my brain that tells you you are full stopped working. I never ever felt full, it was very strange. I gained about 90 pounds! So after I had my son and felt up to it I started working out and got down to 175 and was still trying to lose but got pregnant again. I gained about 40 with that pregnancy. With 2 small children it got harder to exercise and I also had PPD for about a year. I always had spurts with working out so I'd loose some weight but then something would happen and I'd stop. Luckily I never gained back what I lost and would stay where I stopped.
Today I am 168, ugh, but that's way better than the weight I was before. I'm still recovering from a major surgery I had in May due to some complications. Hopefully in two weeks I'll finally get clearance to be able to exercise the way I want to again. Everyone cross your fingers for me, please. Since I haven't worked out in a while I'm going to have to build my endurance back up but once I do I want to train for the Warrior Dash. Those things look like a ton of fun! Youtube it if you don't know what I'm talking about. I can't wait to be able to hike again and build up to running. It's not that I'm oblivious to my body and the healthy changes that need to be made but sometimes life gets in the way, like this surgery I just had. I don't really have a goal size or weight, I just want to get strong and healthy.
Hang I'm there, head over to the exercise forum for some motivation. Good luck!
