But here's the problem... Entertainment these days is either watching TV or on the computer. I myself am I on the computer usually about ten hours a day. Yeah, I'm getting fat.
you're just big boned :winkwink:

You mean that is your only entertainment.

I've been using several sites/resources for tracking the calories burned. So while it might not be 100% accurate, I'm using the same throughout - so it at least gives me an a baseline to what I've been able to increase, etc.

I use a combo of this: http://www.healthdiscovery.net/links...calculator.htm, the fitness app (which is where I get the bike calories from) and then on the machine I use the calorie counter built in.

Hopefully I am shorting myself - that'd be great!

Yeah, the running caloric count on my app is way off, by at least half, so I always have to adjust that to what the machine told me I burned.

According to the app for moderate biking (12-14 mph), which I actually do about 15-20 mph, it says 353 calories for 35 minutes of biking. 358 is what is generated on the website I use, so I think it's pretty comparable.

Lifting though doesn't burn that many calories I've learned. It's all in the cardio.

Just during the exercise. I would rather underestimate my numbers. I don't want to be that person that works out and does two sets of five reps and thinks they burned 100 calories.

Yesterday, I did 30 minutes on the machine and it was set with resistance, etc and I burned 458 calories. That's doing on average 190 strides/minute and I weigh 160 lbs. So 500 on cardio is definitely a good figure for you.

And as for biking, I just love doing it. Nothing like a nice, long bike ride with some riding through the desert landscapes. So while it does burn a heck of a lot less than running, I prefer it more.

What does entertainment have to do with burning calories?

The Wii Fit+ has a calorie counter that was not included with the Wii Fit. I was a little dismayed after an hour workout that it said I burned like 250 calories or something negligible like that. I burn a lot more walking the dog and riding a Harley . . . and it is a lot more enjoyable.

diet and exercise.

I really love how morbidly obese people get handycap parking spaces so they don't have to walk as far... and then get in those little motorized shopping carts...

Get your fat ass OUT of the cart and start walking... and park in the BACK of the parking lot... thanks.

They want you and I to be "dumbed down" to the last degree so we can NEVER question their authority, and can never remove them from power and control of us.
Indeed, and if you try to go against the grain, they already came up with a name for your 'disease': Orthorexia Nervosa

An interesting article about this was published yesterday...

This is no joke: If you focus on eating healthy foods, you're "mentally diseased" and probably need some sort of chemical treatment involving powerful psychotropic drugs. The Guardian newspaper reports, "Fixation with healthy eating can be sign of serious psychological disorder" and goes on to claim this "disease" is called orthorexia nervosa -- which is basically just Latin for "nervous about correct eating."

To get healthy and in shape means you'd have to get sick? Or you know, you could just eat properly and excercise. :2 cents:

By the rules, I should weigh 140 lbs. I look sick and not right at 140, I look good at 150 lbs.

I can see where you are coming from.

A lot depends on body shape.
