I'm not gonna tell anyone how to run their household. I think where there's a will -- there's a way. I see plenty women working out with their children. DVD, when kid is sleeping, riding bikes, bikes pulling wagons, jogging w/strollers or in the gym and the kids in the playroom. (these items are unisex. I see men and women exercising with their children)
Some of you moms bragging about your outstanding husbands. How about he watch them. Does it really matter how many. No.
Fat spouses don't exercise, because they don't want to.
Working out too late in the evening is a great way to ruin your sleep cycle.
Not for everyone. I am a morning person who gets up at 5:30 am every morning whether I have to go to work or not. I usually run 10 miles at 7:30 at night and fall asleep quickly right after I finish running. If you are used to exercising at night, you will adapt to it, unless you have sleep issues anyway.
No kidding. I'm sitting right next to a fat guy on the metro north train who's occupying more than half of a three passenger seat and it's a three passenger seat for Pete's sake. Yikes.
Anyway, this once happened on the city bus. A bus going through downtown NYC, and I was all by myself on a 2 passenger seat. The bus stopped and people boarded and this very overweight dame approached my area and she looked at the empty seat beside me longingly. And I got up with a smile and she occupied 3/4th of the two passenger seat.
I prepared to sit and then stopped coz I noticed if I were to sit, one of my bun cheeks will be hanging in the air, like hanging on top of a cliff, that would be quite the feeling for a dude's buns, so I simply stood and held the holding bars.
She saw this and said, "Oh no, sweetie, I didn't mean to dislodge you"
I responded, "Not at all, I'm fine up here, thank you"
"You know I feel bad, come sit here"
And she pushes her best effort to give room, yet the space will still accommodate one bun cheek only.
I asked myself several times if what I did that day was actually rude. I was pretty sure she found it all embarrassing before spectators. But I can't imagine myself squeezing my buns into a hole....
My buns or Mr. Nice Guy?!?!? Easy choice there
AC,
We are in an elite class of precipitating horrors of public humiliation. Now this guy was slowly maneuvering his bike while flirting with a woman at the bus stop. I made a bit of a racket coming, and I thought he heard me when he went right making room. Nope, he came back left into me, and I knocked him off his bike, and the toupee off his head. I destroyed the lives of two would be lovers in the twilight of their lives now respectively consuming porn and cheap romance novels in the howls of loneliness.
I also remember being on a packed train where a two seat was taken up like Captain Kirk from the planet YumYum. Other people were standing in the aisle and I wondered why. I just looked and made eye contact before I had time to even make this assessment; he saw me just as I thought "fat guy taking whole seat". He read the involuntary expression on my face, just as I read the shame on his face.
I also see this couple on my train and occasionally see them miss the it because all the guy can do is waddle. They can't even walk together off the train because he slows her down too much. Seems like a nice guy too but they cannot enjoy life together as much now and almost certainly later.

You take the metro north? I take the metro north! I just got off the train a little bit ago. I almost always have someone sitting next to me - I'm small so I think people always like to sit next to a small person. Luckily, they have mostly been average size people. But I have been squished many a time on a plane before. But to be honest - I feel sorry for obese people. I don't know how they got to be the way they are - and I know most of them aren't happy. People can say they are just lazy or whatever - but it's sort of like many things - there's more to it than meets the eye.
It's funny - it seems that all of the people arguing back and forth on this thread are healthy people who exercise! I know I usually exercise 4-6 days a week. It's been a little bit harder now that I'm pregnant - but I still aim for at least 3-4 days a week. It's been easier now that I'm not so nauseous every single day!
I might be a bit overly sensitive to those with weight problems right now also because I'm pregnant and have never weighed this much in my life. I feel like a cow - and I've only gained about 12-14 pounds so far. I had to buy a dress for an event coming up - and it was pure torture! My once hourglass physique looks like a butterball! My arms look pudgy! It's awful! I mean - I've always felt fat even though I've never been fat - but now I feel like I really am fat!!! My husband thinks I look amazing - which is helping me get through this. I keep telling him - You did this to me!!!

I take the new haven line to and fro work every day.
I bet you do the harlem line
Don't you HATE the people who are already huge and have their bags occupying the rest of the seat when many people are standing and latecomers are looking to find a seat, and they make no effort to move their bags. Their attitude I guess.
