It hit nearly 70 up here today shits already starting to have a steady stream.

 

I was up in Fort Collins yesterday and took a ride up to Cameron Pass. The Poudre is a raging torrent already and there's still A LOT of snow up there above treeline.

 

the lake is probably half filled right now they drained so much off and Breck has no signs that it's melting you can't see any rocks in the bowls yet.

 

First day of winter bitches!:cheeky4:

 

Trust me, after the winter we've had, you're not making anyone jealous. Shit, I never thought I'd say it, but I'm actually ready for some warm weather. Hell, there's enough snow to be able to ride well into July unless we just have a record breaking summer in terms of heat.

 

I'm pretty sure I'm fucking over snowboarding right now.

 

Most of Northern Idaho is under flooding alerts right now, parts of Montana as well. I'm bummed because with all this stupid snowpack that never melted, it's going to keep melting gradually well into Summer which means freezing cold water is constantly getting dumped into the lake - and cold ass lakes aren't much fun for swimming or boating. And I'm just not motivated enough to posthole 2000 vertical for a single line... I think I'd rather just go to Timberline in July/August

 

Its already been clear here for a while.. Usually low 60's on an average day. Skating it up.

 

82 at 8000 feet right now. This is July/August shit.

Now that I have the vehicle running, it's only 78. Feels a helluva lot hotter though!

 

will snow all week up in the Sierra. They opened the passes friday and they closed themm again saturday...8"last weekend. But it's all closed.

 

It's only closed because you are letting it be closed. I know plenty of people who are still getting after it in and around Tahoe...

 

lol...I wish I could change that...and we did a bit...we convinced Kirkwood and they now have CAT service for all June. ANd yes, I'm not excluding going there and hike it...even thou after a season of riding runs over runs feels weird to khike it ALL up. It's a lot of hiking!
But yes I might try that this weekend...

 

all of you people saying you're ready for summer..my season ended 2 months ago. I miss snow so much

 

I'm loving this 70 degree days and longboarding the bike path

 

I've been to the city skate park 3 times in the past week... yesterday it was 95 fucking degrees. The adjustment gets more and more difficult every year.

 

it's 65 and breezy today I'm stoked. fuck city living I can't deal with it.

 

Summer tourists arrived did my usual mellow down hill run on the long board get on the bus to go back into town and some fat fuck had to just say something about how longboarding is stupid. I mean seriously you're the one riding the bus with your bikes on the rack because it's too hard for you to peddle up a gradual incline and I'm the one that's stupid. Can't wait for carnage on the bike path this summer where'd I put my spoke stick.

 

I will be one of the fat fucks out there on the trail starting in July... doubt I will venture all the way to breck on it though.... hope I can drop some more weight and be a skinnier fuck... although 250 is about all I wanna get down too.... anything under that I am too fucking skinny....290 now, I only ride 120 miles a week right now 50/50 on and off road.... few years of mountain living should help out.... just dont fuck up my spokes..... I will have to try the longboarding, looks fun

 

Lay off the bigmacs, how the hell are you 40lbs overweight and ride a bike 120 miles a week? No comprende.

 

Genetics. I fucking hate mcdonalds. I have to eat under 1800 calories a day to maintain my weight. Have to stay under 1400 to loose it. This is with the exercise. Without exercise I will gain every pou.d I eat and drink.

 

Nah your side of the bike path is way better than what Breck has. Ours is just a mellow up hill or a leisure downhill cruise great for the fat tourons but someone that's riding as much as you not so much.

 

physically not possible, but whatever blame it on genetics

 

Lol.. go study nutrition, health science or something similar, actually with your current level of ignorance just google it and you'd be better off than now.

I also have friends that only lift weights with no cardio at all that can consume 20,000 calories a day to have to gain weight. Then if they get sick they drop a few pounds a day minimum. There is a positive to by body style, I gain muscle super fast and have excellent muscle memory. I stopped lifting heavy so much cause I gain lbs so fast when lifting.

What's funny is I do open heart surgery all week long and the majority of the patients we cut open are people you would look at and consider healthy. 30-50 y/o with abs and general muscle tone over the entire body is not uncommon. Skinny ducks think they can eat what they want because they don't gain weight but don't realize my big ass is 10x healthier overall than they are.

 

Yep, metabolism plays a huge part in weight control. Have you had your thyroid checked, Argo?

Another 90+ day at the skate park yesterday, but going almost everyday is helping me get my breathing back in this fucking sauna. Before yesterday, by the time I'd get loose and warmed up, I'd be out of breath. Yesterday I finally got to get some lines with breath and being loose...

 

I had it checked a while back and it was on the low side of normal. I have thought about getting on synthroid or something similar but don't like the side effects of the drugs. Id rather stay slightly over weight and keep excercising without the issues of pharmaceuticals.

 

Wrong there buddy! I have been around people who have such a slow metabolism and genetic disposition to store fat that in order to loose weight, they actually have to be on a semi catabolic diet, consuming under 1200 calories a day plus exercise. It is also scientific fact that not all calories act the same within the body. Some people process fat, glucose, carbohydrates and proteins differently. Recent research is also showing that blood type plays a significant role in the ideal diet for an individual. For example, people with type O blood typically need red meats in their diet while your type A and B people do not process red meats well. Nutritional medicine and research is learning more and more about the genetic connection to body weight and body fat and how the body processes the caloric intake. When you make such a statement as you did, it shows that you actually know far less about the subject than you think you do....

I am on the opposite side. I have to eat a ton of calories to avoid losing weight.

 

All I know is that I cycle several 22-40 mile rides per week, (which add up to like 80-100 MPW) and I just keep generally getting skinnier. Seems like the more muscle I build, the skinnier I stay (because muscle consumes calories to operate/exist right?)

 

fact, burn more calories than intake, lose weight, thats the bottom line. its not a hard thing to understand maybe after ive removed my head from my own ass ill tell you more about the countless medical journals proving this.

 

im 28, 6'11. 270. i have to exercise 4 times a week and eat the right foods to maintain and add 2 work outs and less food to lose weight. My family has a history of obesity which includes a 6'4 brother who must weigh close to 330lbs, and im sure if i didnt do these simple things i would blow up. By no means saying i know more about heart surgery than a heart surgeon, but how do you know i dont know more about diet, metabolism and thyroid problems? Metabolism does slow down, as do thyroid problems which can and do play its part in obeisity. Yes there are recorded cases of people dying from starvation by eating too few calories and their body eats its own organs and muscle tissue, this happens in EXTREME cases and usually from a side issue such as a disease and again this generally happens in societies that are far less educated and health concious. But read any medical journal about caloric intake vs exercise vs weight loss, and the fact remains. Burn more calories than intake = weight loss (this starts with fatty deposits generally more than a week old and then moves onto muscles once fat is near gone).

You can say what you want to me thats fine and assume i know less than you or a heart surgeon because you are older and wiser or more educated. Fact is not only do i have a degree in health science and a masters in exercise science and currently a teacher studying my Ph.D in exercise physiology but i have spent 12 years of my life playing basketball both in college and then proffessionally. So maybe just maybe i do know a bit about this field. Think what you want about my opinions and statements but the opinion i have is formed through study and personal experience. Of course you can choose not to believe all that about me but again it makes no difference, truth is the truth no matter what you believe.

yes every person is different and so are their blood types and genetic make ups, but to blame being overweight on genetics is a cop out and without knowing the true % id go as far as saying 95% of people use this as an excuse.

And FYI Fact.....Weight is far more complex than your simple scenario. If it were that easy, there would be far less obesity. the last part of this statement is not quite spot on, as i am sure you will agree a vast majority of people throughout the world are overweight due to lifestyle, poor education and lazyiness not because they are trying their ass off to get fitter. As far as talking health of course skinny doesnt mean healthier, im talking choloric intake and weight loss not heart disease diabeties or cholesterol problems.

I looked at the book link you put in and a serious question, is it a diet book or a book explaining the link between blood tyoe and weight loss? also feel free to check out
http://www.sportsscientists.com/
http://www.weight-loss-i.com/weight-loss-research/index.htm
there are a plenty of actual empirical research articles on choloric intake vs weight loss and diet vs weight loss from sources throughout the world, they cant all be wrong is what i guess im pointing out.

 

You are on the.other extreme scale of excercise. Given you played basketball and probably exercised 8-10 hours a day your view of normal exercise is jaded a bit as well as nomal metabolism vs low metabolism.

Also, I have met and worked with many nutritioists and exercise physiologists over the years and maybe 30% of them know what they are talking about on any regular basis. Most are just spitting out their theory rather than real life scenario based on individuals they are working with. My wife eats twice as much as I do, works out half as much and is still 110 lbs.

My body style is very large too... I wear a 54-56 chest coat even at 210 lbs. My waist varies from a 36 at 210-220 lbs only up to a 40 at 290 ..... 250 is ideal weight for my frame in my opinion but in the eyes of your nutrition scales its more like 190. At 220 im about 14% body fat with abs visible.

 

Oh and one more think. I'm JUST an RN. Just subspecialize in cardiothoracics.... BA in psych and BS in nursing.... I guess in your eyes I should just go and do 240 miles a week and eat 1000 calories ? Lol. Fuck that.
