You might knot, but we due... how you present yourself matter's alot; how you write online is how you present yourself online. Every time some dunderhead misuse's apostrophe's (extra, not enough, or just plane placed wrong) or swap's homonym's I dye a little inside.

yes, that was all intentional. See how retarded it looks? It hurt to type, so sorry...

The only thing that could have made it better would have been all lower or upper case letters! :roflmao:

Remember this children: Idiocracy is a Hollywood film, not an appropriate lifestyle choice!
 
I like how this thread goes from talking about a serious question somone had about lap band surgery to people trying to insult me becasue I DONT CARE how my spelling is on a forum. I dont care how I represent myself to people on a forum sorry last I check this was a XJ forum not a grammer forum... I guess I could be wrong?? Even with my poor grammer on this forum I have done ok in life and wont LOOSE any sleep over it :)

a lot of ways... I have know many people who are very active that are overweight. Not all peoples bodies are the same. I have a friend who is about the same height as me (never works out and has a desk job) and he eats like a XXXXing horse and he is skinny as shit. I have other friends that are very active and eat pretty good and still battle weight. Loosing weight is like quiting smoking... it easy to do looking in from the outside.

Yup, pretty much right on the money there, especially that last part:lecture: I've worked jobs that have had me on my feet and wandering around from the get go, yet have mainly gained weight. I did eat alot and drink way too much regular pop (I can't stand the taste of diet) on top of the usual water and milk. I'd cut back on that, eat better, walk a lot more and maybe drop 5 lbs:mad: Then I started lifting after hurting my foot in '06 and managed to lose some fat, then put on more weight than that in muscle, that's when I got up to 420lbs.

I'm trying to lose weight right now, and I stand by my position that for the vast majority of people, the lap band or other surgery is unnecessary and excessive. Don't buy into the ads.
 
The ignorance that is running rampant in this thread is amazing...on both sides of the issue.

It always kills me how skinny people can say "all you need to do is eat better and you will lose weight"

Total BS. It works for some but not all. Genes have a serious role in peoples weight too. Not everybody obviously but a lot.

I know this girl who is an exercise fanatic. She eats well, plays soccer, runs and can kick most guys asses. However she looks fat. Her mom and all over her sisters look the same and no matter how hard they try they just don't lose weight. I would pay big money to any of you internet tuff guys to walk up to her and tell her all she needs to do is exercise and eat right. You're eyes wouldn't open from the swelling for a week.
 
I don't think I've seen anyone say just eat better. It's been eat right and exercise. And the argument has been is the lap band a good idea? I say no. The vast majority would see better benefit from losing the weight via diet and exercise as compared to getting a lap band. Would your friend consider a lap band? Obviously in her case it would do no good either if she's already eating good.

The lap band is a band aid for the problem. All it does is make you eat less at a time. It doesn't change what you're eating nor does it make you eat less overall. You can eat til your "stomach" is full, wait and then eat more.

Again I feal you have not researched the LB surgery... yes it makes you eat far less in one meal but it also makes you cut out all types of sugar drinks (like pop and juice as it will make you sick if you drink them) also there are many foods you cannot eat once you have had the sugery. This is not a band aid but a tool in helping people that need the help. Im not saying that everyone that is overweight should run out and get it but there are people who would benifit from this and have a much better life if they got it.
