How many of you are 30 this year? - Page 2

Well, again, when I see people who've had full-on joint replacements, or spent years using crutches or a wheelchair, somehow reverse years of damage, it just makes me a little bit skeptical of the "pain tolerance" theory, is all I'm saying. Like, I've seen people who were missing an arm go to the gym, people with two artificial legs, etc. I just find it hard to believe that they're in any less pain than the next person.

Not dumping on anyone, just saying, I know what can happen when people decide "Okay, I'm just gonna Do Something About This."

I guess it just depends on people's pain tolerance. But good for those people.

Weight loss is all about counting calories. You will lose weight when you eat less calories than you burn, given a certain period. Also, your first few days or weeks of weight loss from exercise is all water-weight because you're sweating more.

Building muscles is a way to allow you to lose weight because muscles will help increase your metabolism, but not by much (maybe 25-50 more calories for each pound of muscles, a day. Eating spicy foods helps with increasing your metabolism, not by a lot and for long (also, you don't want to burn your stomach, eating spicy foods, every meal).

But, yeah, calorie counting is the, only way to lose weight. Doing cardio will decrease your calorie intake. Eating salads w/out dressing benefits in filling up your stomach, making you feel fuller, and not taking in much calories, but it's not a healthy diet...it's a way to supplement and reduce the calories in your regular meals.

Also, be careful when exercising. If you're sore or in pain, rest those muscles or you will injure yourself. You're not going to get instant results, it is a lifestyle change that your body will, eventually, adjust to by getting in the shape required for that lifestyle.

Nah, I hear you, Leo. And like I said, I definitely commend those people for being brave enough to do that. But as I've said, everyone's different, and with my mom, I just know how she is and what she can tolerate and can't tolerate. But she does try, and that's the main thing.

Um, Derek, I'm not fat. In fact, I'm thin though I'm not a twig. I do have some fat on my belly, but I'm not overweight. Just average to me, and I'm okay with that.

10 more months until I turn 30. Its a shame my last year in my 20's isn't being spent on something special. Feels the same as any other year.

I can relate. Birthdays are just like any other day to me. I'm learning to get out there and do new things though. Spice things up for your 30th birthday, CyberCubed!

*BubblyShell22* · 03-04-2015, 04:27 PM

Same here. I could care less about my birthdays or how old I am. Age is just a number and nothing more. Best not to dwell on it and just live your life day by day. For all you know, Cubed, it might not be that bad at all.

I have been a fan on and off since the original cartoon, I lost interest in my teens and briefly got back into tmnt in my early 20s with the 2k3 series. My nephew introduced me to the Nick show a couple of years ago and it rekindled my interest and I have been building up a little collection both new and retro ever since.

Great to know that so many of us are pretty close in age!

*BubblyShell22* · 03-07-2015, 08:51 AM

I know. It's nice to meet fellow Turtle fans like that.
