Why is it as soon as the weather gets nice that the winter fatty decides they need to get fit?

You sit there eating pie all winter and then decide that for the first few weeks of spring, you'll put your gelatinous wheezing carcass through a punishing regime of standing around the gym chatting to your equally obese chum, or standing in the shallow end of the pool discussing how naughty you were last night because you shouldn't have eaten a family bucket of deep fried ste to yourself.

Just do everyone a favour and don't bother - you'll save yourself the several hundred pound gym membership, which you then spend on weight loss shakes and special K.

My normally quiet 7:00am swim was transformed this morning from the norm of half a dozen courteous swimmers, to what resembled a group of 30 sweating dugongs trying to thrash their way up stream for their annual mating.

So you morning swim was disturbed by other swimmers ? What a shame! rolleyes

Well I will be moving my lardy body to the swimming pool this afternoon, as I do most days whether the weather is improving or not, and if I get in the way of some scrawny swimmer that is just too bad.

Lol, I've noticed the credit crunch has severely culled the fatties at my gym this year. Much quieter than the usually Jan/Feb/March post Xmas panic scrum.

Then you're not a winter fatty, and not the subject of my rant. It wasn't a fat person rant, it was a rant against the type of person who decides they'll go mad for a couple of weeks with no courtesy for other users and then give up.

Do you think a gym can break even on half a dozen swimmers?

Your gym membership is effectively subsidised by optimistic but weak-willed fatties. Thank them for it.

Im all for the resolutioners in the gym - they are at least trying to do something about it. It does inconvenience me a bit, seeing as the only time i am in the gym is when the weather is crappy - would rather be outside - but i can live with it.

It doesnt annoy me as much as the people who show up thinking its a fashion contest and will do their upmost to avoid breaking a sweat - walking ultra slow on the treadmill etc.

I'm a confirmed chubby chaser, but I cannot stand the incessant whinging of fatties about why they are fat.

I am qualified to speak on this - I see them and their habits - they eat too much food. End of fking story! All this crap on tv about healthy eating and I'm "fat because I'm poor" is a load of utter bks: YOU ARE FAT BECAUSE YOU EAT TOO MUCH!!!

Drives me fking nuts mad

You never see pictures of fat people in, say, prison camps, right? Where are all the people with slow metabolisms, big bones, underactive thyroids? They're not fat anymore are they? Why - cos they've eaten less/no food.

Why are they all such a bunch of liars!?

Thats a whole different kettle of fish - whinging about it really does annoy me.

Came in after a 5 hour cycle on saturday and proceeded to put away a pizza and half a loaf of nutella sandwiches, my flatmates "big boned" girlfriend proclaimed "i wish i had your metabolism so i could eat that much and not get fat" the mind boggles...

Obesity is a sign of depression. Depression is always worse in the winter months when there is little sunlight. I would suggest that fatties are depressed because:

  • They are fat and so they eat more - vicious circle
  • They do comfort eating - when you are that big you don't get arms put around fatties cos unless they are Stretch Armstrong they dont reach
  • They are about to get fatter because they are stockpiling tax free chocolate while they can
  • It is ok to go outside because they know that the other lesser spotted fatties will also be grazing chocolate outside at this time of year

I'll tell you what p*sses me off at the gym.....when I go at 6pm theres no free machines. there is a 20 minute rule on the cardio machines and these bl**dy anorexics are busy pedalling/pushing at a casual pace and not even sweating.....Wont someone tell them you actually need to raise your heart rate for some benefit. I think they feel its cool to stay on for hours. Then over at the other side you have the muscle mirror boys who do all the arm stuff...pr*cks....they do a set and then sit and chat with some other twunt for 20 mins preventing you from using that machine.....
RANT DONE...I feel much better now..

Ugh! Apart from at school I've never been in a gym and never intend to - they sound like the most awful places imaginable. Back in the 80s would have been acceptable when all the burds wore those skintight lycra outfits with thongs - a la Eric Prydz.

Otherwise - no thanks!

What a lovely bloke you are... rolleyes

Anyone else you would like to pick on? The crippled perhaps? Do they p1ss you off too?

A deeply unpleasant "rant" in my opinion.

Exactly why I bought one of those log cabin things for the garden and put my own equipment in it. Never looked back.

And my car doesn't get car park dings from vapid bints who can't drive in cars they got for laying on their backs. Total win win.
