[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 302085, member: 552"] Me=American, Your Statement=True. Grocery store = 2 Miles (Average load of groceries is 20 lbs. a person in my house Fast Food Places = 1 Mile (Not so bad, but then again doesn't the excersise contradict the food?) School = 32 Miles (Screw walking this. 32 Miles is for Military Academy Trainies to walk to school, not anyone else.) Not to mention how true it is that people look at anyone who is on foot, with a certain hint of animosity towards them. Amarica is a little to big and spread out in my opinion. This helps to generate more money, but it drains resources quicker and results in some severe lack of efficiency. America is the strip-mine of the world, fast production, but wasted resources. I manage to float weights that vary as much as 40 (yes 40) pounds in a year, with no edit to my diet. Freshman year I weighted 130 pounds - 130 pounds Sophomore year I weighed 130 - 150 Junior year I weighed 140 - 180 (briefly) Senior year (just started) I'm beginning at 150 I notice, personally, that I gain the most weight when I don't eat with my family. If I miss dinner, I snack all night. If I do this for like a week straight (like I did when I worked my old job) I gained about 5 pounds each week. When my schedule is normal and I eat a full breakfast (two eggs, hash browns, and steak sauce on both) and miss lunch (which is actually my normal schedule) and eat dinner of whatever (a grilled chicken breast and about a cup of rice for example), I maintain my weight of about 140 pounds.
