Before After

Fast Weight Loss Tip #1

I fell asleep with the TV on last night. When I woke up there was some hot minister guy in jeans, quoting cool R&B lyrics, talking about how to pray. I like to watch these guys sometimes. He was hot, so I watched. After the sermon, or whatever it is they call it, they go to an audience member who talked about how he'd lost 70 pounds after taking part in some program offered by the hot minister dude. Then comes the sales pitch....

The viewer is told that in return for a gift of $30 or more, they would receive the complete sermon/program on DVD, a cookbook, and a creative exercise DVD.

That's how my day started. With a laugh.

A while later I come up here to my computer and on the front page of Yahoo is a link to an article about weight loss, I forget what the hook line was. So, like the idiot I am, I click on said link to find an article by a woman who claims to have invented spinning. Maybe she did? I wouldn't know. Here's something she said:

Our bodies are built to survive, so when you exercise for long periods of time (often and consistently) your body thinks it needs to hold on to fat for energy.
