You can do it. John Belushi, Mel Gibson, Clint Eastwood, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Connery, Tim Allen, Jean-Luc Picard, Jean Claude Van Damme, some Muppets, Will Ferrel, Al Pacino, Morgan Freeman, and some other folks all believe in you. Watch this and start to believe in yourself.
Just heard from a friend that someone we knew died in his sleep last night. I knew Gary from high school, and while I had seen him a few times over the years, I wasn’t real close friends with him. But Bill, who told me about it, has been very good friends with him for over 20 years, hanging out with him a few times per month every month for those 20 years.

Jamie Oliver has a wish. “I wish for your help to create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.” You can help.
A lot of people think you have to do “cardio” to lose weight, and by “cardio” they usually mean riding the bike, walking or jogging on the treadmill, or using an elliptical machine.

Well, if that’s what you think, then yes, lifting weights, jogging on the treadmill, going to the gym, and the like probably will suck. So don’t do any of that. Find something
I think what passes for traditional dieting as a means to lose weight, i.e. simple calorie restriction, sucks. I believe learning to eat right, in a healthy manner, with an emphasis on quality of food and variety of nutrients instead of an emphasis on calories, is the best method to long term weight loss and overall health.
