I love my fitbook. Your explanation of your body bug data and that if you don't write it down, it doesn't mean anything is right on. I do much better at reaching my goals when I write them down and track my daily nutrition and exercise. I'd like to see the photos of your pages.

Comment on Bobble water bottle review by Jon Angliss

Jon Angliss — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 21:47:30 +0000

That noise would drive me up the wall after a short time. We picked up a couple of cheap water bottles, they made the same sound, little fudging around with the o-ring seal, sound went away, though I don't think that will work for this.

Re-learning to unicycle | Jason Tucker — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 08:36:39 +0000

[...] Memorial day weekend I took the unicycle to the park with Jessalyn and we rode around the tennis court. I on the uni and Jess on her scooter. We raced around the tennis court until she was too tired to continue so we went home and she took a nap. I went out front and tried to free mount the unicycle without the assistance of any walls or other objects to help me I gave up after 45 sweaty minutes not able to mount the uni. We had a bday party to attend and Jen suggested I bring the unicycle since the kids grandparents might get a kick out of me attempting to ride the thing. I think I did quite well so we recorded a bit of video showing my progress. I also talked about me picking up unicycling again on the latest GeekFit Podcast. [...]

I am overweight and am angry that someone would be considered too fat to fly. If you can pay your money then you should be allowed to fly. I am also proud that I am healthy and refuse to buy into the media obssession with skinny.

As a fellow diabetic and person on depression medication we have health issues that cause great weight gain. I agree that the treatment of people who are overweight is horrible. In Europe you get nasty looks and even looks of hatred. Sadly a sick person underweight whho the wind can blow over is just find in out weird and sick society

It is a shame the treatment that those who are overweight receive. In England a similiar question was asked about flying and the answers were so nasty! People had a deep hatred and used words like “animals,rude,uncomfortable..etc” to describe overweight people. I work with the diabetes foundation in Cananda and I can say that being overweight is not from food but the quality of the food. Also I mentioned to the people in the UK that if this is the way they spoke about overweight people i would hate to see the filth that came out of the mouth of their children. Just Plain nasty people!

No one is too fat to fly. The discrimination against people who are overweight is horrible. I am not overweight but i do see the unfair treatment they receive. Science has shown that those underweight are in greater health danger than those overweight but the underweight are easily accepted in society. Those overweight are victims of tainted food supplies and chemicals in the food. This is the reason for the increase in obesity in the USA and Europe.

Thanks for stopping in Chuck. Yeah, it’s a crazy situation. I sat through Kevin Smith’s “Last Word” video set and it was pretty heavy stuff.

Sadly the overweight person is often mistreated. The world is on fair. Diabetes is cuased by the chemicals in the food not by over eating. The average overweight person was a victim of the FDA ..what passes as food today is criminal

I found your post after hearing about the Kevin Smith incident last weekend. It really is sad that the airlines don't have clear guidelines with regards to when a second seat needs to be purchased.

I just wanted to drop some comment love on you guys and thank you for making a great podcast. I listen to it regularly at my job and it's very entertaining and informative. I did take the time to leave a review through iTunes, I hope it shows up.
Steve – if you're looking for books for your ambitious reading list you should check out the “World's Strongest Librarian” blog. If you use some google-fu you should find a list of strength/strongman books he blogged about a while ago. I bet you'd find them interesting and it would make a great tie-in to the show. I hope you liked the ebook by Pavel. I have his “Super Joints” ebook and think it's great. I have a sneaking suspicion the guy might be a geek at heart – he professes a fondness for the classic Pink Panther movies. Anyway I'm rambling now. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback. The Body Bugg has been crazy as far as data collection. Those days when I'm (seemingly) too busy to get away from my desk are the ones with the dreaded surplus of calories.

It's not far off for a WAG. Take a look at any RMR calculator, and you should get your resting calorie usage. It's pretty easy to see when you have the tools at hand to understand how easy it is to pack on the extra pounds.

Crystal here, Steve's bodybugg coach…”I had to giggle when I heard the description of yourself…It made the “waist measurement issue” understandable.

Forget about what other people think, some people just don't have any compassion or commonsense. You have already come so far, just keep working towards your goal and making better decisions.

Happy New Year

Undercooked eggs were the most commonly eaten risky food. That includes eggs served sunny-side up as well as raw eggs used in preparation of hollandaise sauce, meringue, Caesar salad dressing, and the like.

Comment on Review – DailyBurn FoodScanner for iPhone by Amber Collins

I love Dailyburn. I don’t know what I would do without that program. In fact, I don’t know what I’d do without my Iphone…period. What was life like before the Iphone came out? Lol.

Yes, but most Western societies treat people of larger stature as a “lifestyle” issue, not a deep-seated issue like belief or a happenstance like an accident that leaves one crippled.

Doesn’t work perfectly by any means (there are fat people who exercise and are “responsible” about their health as well as disabled people who got there by being “irresponsible”, for example), but by and large the rule of thumb makes sense to our society as a whole.

Comment on Too Fat To Fly by Malcolm

Malcolm — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 06:10:54 +0000

While this is an uncomfortable situation, I have to disagree with Kris about this being discrimination. They are not denying anyone of plus size the opportunity of flying, but they are trying to mitigate the impact that person would have on the comfort and conditions of other passengers. I’m 6″ 205lbs and I can fit some what comfortably into any airline seat. I would say that the vast majority of passengers fall somewhere at or below my height/weight so it would make no sense to adjust the size of every seat and pass that expense onto consumers, when it’s probably a fractional percent that will require multiple seats.

It’s also a little bit rude to lump someone over weight in the same category as physical disabilities as physical disabilities are rarely self inflicted. And as far as it affecting their profit margins remember it is your decision to fly, not a constitutional right, so what they want to charge for their seats is really irrelevant.
