But that has been under construction for some time now. Kinda odd to announce it now, no?

Also that center must have some deal with CLECO being so near.

Yeah :lol: This was not how I expected to spend my Friday.

And Kane got her act from watching Esther


Even this is debated. But again, this was the 1930s.

But I think the overall point in all of this is that there is enough debate and unknown surrounding the Betty Boop character and her link to jazz at the time, that a movie depicting the character and her origins as black really shouldn't be the cause for a meltdown.

The picture you posted is of a Russian model from a series taken in 2008. It is not of Baby Esther.

This photo is also NOT Esther Jones. Esther Jones was a child. There are no known photos of her as an adult.

Betty Boop's appearance was modeled after Helen Kane. If you want to argue whether or not Helen Kane stole her persona and singing style from black Jazz singers, such as Esther Jones, that is another debate.

But the debate on who Betty Boop was modeled after isn't really a controversy.
6'2" 189 as of this morning. Was 204 after the holidays and been cutting for beach season (without having to use reta). Sitting pretty lean with maintaining muscle mass right now.

Haven't been in true running shape since kids.
Dude is calling other people lazy while taking reta because he is too lazy to do the real work for a cut :casty:

Sooo you’re saying you’re correct while saying they should strength train. Got it lol. Love you fitness experts on the OT


Yes. There is no contradiction there.
quote:

Wrong but whatever lol


Its 100% correct.

I'm not saying they shouldn't strength train while losing weight. That would be dumb as everyone should be strength training, whether they are trying to lose weight or not.

But for obese people, simply losing the weight it the most important thing to their health.

That is a fact.

The number 1 goal while on that shite should be to preserve as much muscle as possible. You can’t do that eating 1000 cals and shrinking to be skinny fat


The #1 goal for most people should be to simply lose the weight. That in itself will make them feel better and fix so many issues.

Once they lose the weight, then they can start to focus on body composition.
There is definitely some gastro side effects from people that I know are on them.

But I think I could deal with gastro side effects better than my heart exploding.

I don't care if they are lazy or not. I don't understand why the OT cares that much.


Insecurity

They are either 1) fat and don't want to take them or exercise and want everyone else to be fat with them or 2) lost weight and somehow feel as though people losing weight with a drug diminished their own weight loss

Its so fricking pathetic
Yes, the drug itself does not make you lose lean body mass (which includes things like muscle and bone mass), the weight loss does.

Even if you lose weight "the right way" those same things will happen.

Which again, is why it is important to begin or maintain strength training within the weight loss phase.

Its even more important when you get 55+
This has quickly became my favorite show right now.

Patricia being constantly annoyed at Loftis had me cracking up. And the entire "Shaman" scene :lol:

I love this show so much.

There are plenty of studies for non diabetics. All you have to do is Google. You don't have to wait for anyone.

The issue for me I think is snacking and having those cravings. That's what I can't seem to get under control. Anything over the counter that genuinely cuts down on cravings? Any good meal replacement shakes that actually make you feel full?


eat foods with protein and fiber to control cravings

As far as finances, know you will have to sacrifice those as well.

For example, today is my daughter's 13th bday, and I was just about to order something online for myself, when she comes strutting in house with several bags from Lululemon and Kenda Scott.

I sighed and simply deleted that online cart.
Not at the movies, but we were allowed to watch R movies at home with my parents.

Which made for some uncomfortable moments, as you would imagine.
