In 1978, we first published research indicating that each passionate kiss burns between 6 and 12 calories, depending on the level of enthusiasm," says Betty Goldblatt, RD, MPH

And what defines a "passionate" kiss exactly??? Hm......

I think it is just because I can't be stuffing food in my mouth and kissing at the same time -- definately the way to lose weight.

I can show you what a passionate kiss is.

The Hatrack Weightloss System.

Every ten strokes of the key board burns 1 calorie.

As long as you don't snack and post, you could be loosing 5-10 lbs per Landmark thread.

Dan, but what about the opportunity cost?

Hey, you know I lost , like, 8 lbs. at WenchCon. And it hasn't come back.

Did somebody snatch one of my lesser-used organs when I wasn't looking?

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

I lost weight at WenchCon too. *confused*

Added: That probably shows that I need to eat a lot less than I do, and that's apparent when getting food isn't easy.

Oh my stars, I just realized what thread I was in. I was just responding to Olivia's post above.

Laughing burns calories.

So does talking about the cute Hatrack Men.

Sitting absolutely still burns calories.

That's why things like this are so silly.

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

So who wants to exercise with me?

Posted by Frisco (Member # 3765) on :

Now, when people ask me how I keep my girlish figure, I can link them to this article.

And Annie, once you find out how much fun this method of burning calories can be, you'll not think it so silly. [Smile]

Longer-duration, lower-intensity aerobic workouts burn fat; a naerobic workouts -- such as sexual and other strenuous activities that last only a short time -- primarily burn glucose. "Unless you're a teen or in your 20s, you're probably not getting too aerobic a workout, by virtue of the shorter duration," he says. "If you are ... well, lucky you."

Hooray for being young!

Last time I tried to kiss Mack on one of these threads, I got smacked.

I know that is just more exercise for Mack, but I don't think bruising on my part will help me lose weight.
