San Marcos — One of the benefits that are always presented to people is that all of that running and exercise helps you lose weight. In a sense that is a true statement.

It’s not a fast weight loss program and it takes a lot of time and energy to be effective.

For many people running, or walking, has made dramatic changes in their lives and weight loss is one of the changes that are most easily demonstrated. The problem with the interpretation of exercise, running, or walking to lose weight is the scale of how much exercise results in how much weight loss.

You may hear a person say, “I walked around the block this morning so that I can have that slice of pie tonight after supper.”

A recent page in the March issue of Nutrition Action Health Letter lists what it takes to burn off some of those small extra desserts you would like to eat for that walk around the block. It was somewhat eye opening to see the amount of exercise it takes for that small helping of extra goodies you might think was earned from your short walk.

The estimates are based on a 150-pound person doing various forms of exercise.

A Starbucks Chocolate Chipper Cookie requires one hour and thirty minutes of brisk walking to burn off the 440 calories.

Eating a Crumbs Bake Shop Red Velvet Cupcake has you lifting weights for two hours and five minutes for the 500 calories it contains.

Even “healthy” food like Pinkberry Original Yogurt requires you to hit that elliptical trainer for an hour and five minutes for those 370 calories.

Heading to the movies, and grabbing a small bag of popcorn with no butter, takes one hour and 15 minutes of low impact aerobics to enjoy the 410 calories in the bag during the show.

Enjoy that early morning cup of coffee before work at Starbucks and ordering a Cinnamon Dolce Latte with whipped cream has you jogging for 50 minutes during your lunch break to burn off those 410 calories from that morning.

Maybe, instead of that cup of coffee, or more likely with that cup of coffee, add a Starbucks Banana Nut Loaf for breakfast for another 490 calories. That allows you to swim laps for one hour and 15 minutes after work to go along with the 50 minutes jogging you did during lunch.

During a weak moment you decide to order a regular order of Five Guys Fries checking in at 620 calories. For that you get to ride your bike to work and back so that you can ride for one hour and 35 minutes for those delicious fries.

You can always go for that healthy Smoothie King Slim-N-Trim Strawberry medium size drink at 560 calories and play doubles tennis with your friends for an hour and 50 minutes that evening to burn those calories off.

When you start to realize the amount of exercise it takes for those “small” things we consume every day it isn't a difficult thing to see why two-thirds of our population is overweight and obese.

Will exercise help a person lose weight? By all means it does.

It just has to go along with some of the food choices you make when you think you can now eat those extra goodies because you walked around the block, maybe even walked around the block twice for a second helping. The two sides of the equation of calories in from eating, and calories out from exercising, just don't equal out.

Just stay away from the thought that exercise allows you to eat more and still lose weight. Exercise, but don't eat more than you normally do, and eventually the weight will begin to disappear.

The one side effect of running, or any vigorous exercise, is that your appetite seems to diminish also. You do not have that urge to eat at the slightest impulse when you see that cupcake or cookie on the plate at home or at work. Instead of the cookie, you see miles and hours of exercise on that plate, and the temptation to eat them is gone.

FREDERICTON — Losing weight is hard enough, but try doing it with the world watching and when you'd rather be dreaming of mice.

Tiny, a very large and lovable grey house cat, has become an international celebrity since he was left in a box outside the Fredericton SPCA on Dec. 30. But no one at the shelter was quite prepared for a cat the size of Tiny, or the media attention he has received since.

"We thought someone was bringing in donations, such as computer paper or newspaper, things that we need, and they set down the box and they left," said LeeAnn Haggerty, the SPCA's education co-ordinator. "Then we heard the box meow.

"We opened the box and out popped Tiny's head, which was small when compared to his large size. ... Lifting Tiny out we realized he was a very large cat, probably one of the biggest we've seen."

He weighed 13.7 kilograms.

Haggerty said her shock quickly changed to concern for his health. So Tiny was moved to a foster home and placed on a diet of special food and exercise.

His efforts to shed weight is aimed at helping other animals at the shelter. A Facebook page called Tiny's Weight Loss Challenge now has close to 1,700 friends and had raised about $1,900 by Friday.

The money will help provide surgeries for animals left at the shelter.

"It's really important to have a fund such as Tiny's Weight Loss Challenge to help us give the care," said Haggerty.

She said Tiny has lost about 2.25 kilograms so far and has prompted some staff members, including Haggerty, to stick to their own New Year's resolutions to lose weight.

Tiny's progress is turning into a good news story that has drawn national and international media attention, including CNN and People magazine's website.

"We know that cats are pretty popular on the Internet but we weren't expecting this," Haggerty said.

Some of Tiny's supporters have entered him in a best cat contest on Ellen DeGeneres's website, but Haggerty said they haven't received a reply yet.

She said the news coverage has brought attention to the importance of keeping pets healthy.

Tiny is a happy cat with a personality that's big enough to match his girth. He enjoys chasing a laser pointer, which Haggerty says is a great way for him to get some exercise.

The goal is for Tiny to slim down to about nine kilograms over the next 12 to 18 months.

"The goal is a slow and steady weight loss because we want to make sure his weight loss is healthy," she said.

Fullbar Weight-Loss Gum and Weight-Loss Gummies

The Food and Drug Administration has rejected three prescription diet pills in the last three years, raising questions of whether any weight loss drug can win approval in the U.S. The agency has not approved a new prescription weight loss drug in 13 years. Historically, medications that attempt to burn fat or suppress appetite have been plagued by safety issues.

Despite the latest rejections, all three drugmakers are resubmitting their products for a second review. Here's a look at the contenders and where they are in the review process:

— Qnexa is a combination of two older drugs: the amphetamine phentermine, which is approved for short-term weight loss, and topiramate, an anti-convulsant drug sold by Johnson & Johnson as Topamax. Phentermine helps suppress appetite, while topiramate is believed to make patients feel more satiated

Many experts view the combination pill as the most promising of the new weight loss drugs, due to studies showing most patients lost nearly 10 percent of their weight — the highest reduction reported with any recent diet pill. But the FDA rejected the drug in October 2010, raising a number of safety concerns, including higher heart rate and birth defects in women who become pregnant.

This week a panel of advisers to the FDA overwhelmingly recommended approval for Qnexa, on the condition Vivus Inc. conduct a follow-up study to make sure the drug doesn't cause heart problems. The FDA is expected to make its second ruling on the drug by April 17.

— Orexigen Therapeutics Inc.'s Contrave is another combination pill aimed at curbing appetite, mixing the antidepressant ingredient in Wellbutrin with the anti-smoking drug bupropion. The company's results have been lackluster, with about 40 percent of patients taking Contrave losing 5 percent of their body weight. Those figures narrowly achieved FDA's minimum requirements for an effective weight loss pill. But Contrave has also been plagued by the heart safety concerns associated with past diet pills. The FDA is requiring the company to conduct a 10,000-patient study of cardiovascular health. That study is slated for completion by 2014.

— Arena Pharmaceutical Inc.'s lorcaserin is the only first-of-a-kind diet drug currently before the FDA. It uses a new type of ingredient to stimulate serotonin receptors in the brain linked with feelings of satiety. But lorcaserin has faced the most severe safety questions from FDA, which rejected the drug in 2010 after raising concerns about cancerous tumors seen in rats who received the drug.

Early this year Arena submitted new information evaluating the link between its drug and cancer. The FDA is scheduled to make a new ruling on the drug by June 27.

When it comes to losing weight, many who've battled the bulge say motivation and accountability are key.

Now a growing number of dieters, like Kelsey Lamb, are finding both, through Internet sites and mobile apps like MyFitnessPal.

"I weighed 309 pounds, had a really big stomach, love handles and three chins," said Lamb.

She recalled her physique of two years ago, as she walked her dog through a Vancouver park, which is part of her daily fitness regimen.

"I feel like a totally different person now," said Lamb, and physically, she is.

"I have lost a total of 115 pounds in two years and one of my biggest aids has been MyFitnessPal.com," she testified.

The website is free. Users log on and enter their meals and workouts and the program calculates a dietary plan to help them meet weight-loss goals.

"It kind of shows you a balance of what you have and haven't done and what you can and can't eat," Lamb said.

There's also a forum for users to share stories, pictures and encouragement with others.

"That's huge!" said Lamb. "Because you know that there are other people going through the same exact thing you are."

Other people like Ken Gordon, chef and owner of Kenny and Zuke's Delicatessen. Six weeks ago, Gordon's love for eating rich foods caught up with him when he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

"Instead of taking drugs, I worked out a program with my naturopath, and signed up with MyFitnessPal.com to track calories and fitness," said Gordon.

Gordon cut out refined sugar and refined carbohydrates. He also stocked his pantry with nutritious food, like avocados, nuts and salsa.

"One of the worst things you can do is be hungry and go out, get some fast food and eat something that's really not good for you," said Gordon.

Health experts also frown upon not eating enough.

"I sometimes find the calorie goals (recommended on websites) are too low," said Kimra Hawk, a dietitian at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center.

Hawk recommended that dieters always consult their doctors before starting on a major weight loss plan. She also said online diet websites can provide good motivation, but warns patients to not obsess over calories.

"If you aim for filling half your plate with fruits and vegetables, that will get you so far," said Hawk. "You won't even have to be counting calories."

Hawk also recommended recording what you eat. She said it doesn't matter if dieters do so on-line or on paper.

"Research has shown that people who keep food records lose twice as much weight as those who don't," she said. "You might think, 'Do I really want to choose another cookie when I've already had three, if I'm going to have to write it down?'"

In his first six weeks on the program, Gordon lost 14 pounds and lowered his blood pressure by 30 points. He also started writing a weekly column called "Diary of a Diabetic Chef," which appears every Wednesday in The Oregonian.

"I'm actually planning to buy some new pants or jeans this weekend," he said with a smile.

Lamb said she has 50 more pounds to lose before reaching her fitness goal. In the meantime, she offered advice for those just getting started on their weight loss journey.

"Don't wait until tomorrow, don't wait until Monday, start right now," she said. "Every meal is a choice that you make."

Weight loss websites give dieters an edge

In the weeks leading up to the NFL scouting combine, one of the chief fears was that South Carolina wide receiver Alshon Jeffery was going to show up looking like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Or, even worse, Mike Williams circa 2007.

But nope. Matt Bowen of the National Football Post had the scoop:

This is a pretty significant weight loss. Jeffery is listed at 229 pounds on South Carolina's Web site, but Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer noted that Jeffery admitted to playing at 230 this past season. So he's lost 13-14 pounds, maybe more.

Good for him. He heard the criticism, he heard the concerns and he responded by getting off his duff and losing some weight. 

But Jeffery is not out of the woods yet. We know he's lighter, but we don't yet know if he's fast, strong or explosive.

Speed is the biggest question concerning Jeffery. Even at 216 pounds, he's a big dude for a wide receiver, as he stands tall at 6'3". He's by no means a speed demon, though, as he got by mainly by beating tough coverage on jump balls at South Carolina. 

Mike Mayock of the NFL Network was Jeffery's most vocal critic.

Do you think Alshon Jeffery will end up being a first-round pick? Do you think Alshon Jeffery will end up being a first-round pick? Yes No Total votes: 2

“Alshon Jeffery does not separate,” said Mayock earlier this month, via Pro Football Talk. “What those guys run [at the combine] is important. He needs to run somewhere in those mid-4.5s.”

If Jeffery does run in the 4.5s, he will have told scouts a lot of things. Most importantly, that he's not as fat and slow as his reputation suggests, and that he does indeed have the speed to get behind the defense at the next level. He will therefore be a legit deep threat.

If Jeffery runs slower than that, his stock could go into a free-fall. He'll be a wide receiver with the speed of a tight end, which is a bit of a problem. Lest you think Jeffery could be easily converted into a tight end, that's far, far easier said than done.

If Jeffery does run well, he's going to go in the first round, maybe as high as the top half. He certainly won't fall out of the first altogether, anyway.

If Jeffery doesn't run well, he may have to wait a long time before his name is called in the draft.

Alshon Jeffery Combine: Weight Loss Doesn't Mean All Questions Are Answered

There are a lot of parallels between "Glee's" Amber Riley and Dreamgirl Jennifer Hudson. Both ladies are belters with powerful pipes. Both unsuccessfully auditioned for "American Idol" at one point. Both gave moving performances of "I Will Always Love You" in tribute to Whitney Houston.

And now, Amber seems to be following Jennifer on the weight-loss path. This month at the NAACP Image Awards, pundits noticed that she's been looking slimmer.

Motives

Amber's motives for weight-loss are health-related. In July, she had to see a doctor because of chronic stomach pains. This motivated her decision to lose weight. The former Troubletone has cut fast food out of her diet, and has been sticking to a healthy diet and exercise routine. As she explains, "I decided I was going to make a change and eat healthier."

Meanwhile, Jennifer credits her son, David Daniel Otuna Jr., as the inspiration for her weight loss. As she explained, "Motherhood brought tremendous responsibilities -- but none greater than the obligation I felt to get healthy and be there for my son. David deserved to have a mama who could run after him without getting winded or getting tired, to have a role model who could teach him to make healthy food choices."

Weight-Loss Results

Amber has been on the weight-loss path for seven months, and has dropped two dress sizes. Meanwhile, Jennifer began seriously losing weight after her son was born in 2009. She has lost a whopping 80 pounds.

How This Affects Their Careers

It's too early to tell what kind of impact weight loss would have on Amber's career. However, we're already beginning to see her character Mercedes take a different direction. In seasons 1 and 2, Mercedes was pigeon-holed as the plus-sized diva whose only story lines consisted of body image issues and competing with Rachel (Lea Michele) for solos.

This season, we're seeing some refreshing depth to her character in her story line with Sam (Chord Overstreet), her involvement in the "God Squad," and songs that showcase the softer side of her voice.

As for Jennifer, I think the weight loss had both positive and negative implications. On the plus side, she became a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers and has become a positive role model for those who are struggling to lose weight.

On the other hand, anytime a celebrity loses weight, there will always be some backlash. Many fans who supported her in her early career, liked her because she didn't fit the skinny Hollywood stereotype. And because the weight-loss was so dramatic, some detractors suggested that she had gotten surgery.

Still, Jennifer's voice and talent are so strong that her career would have been successful with or without the weight loss. If she's happy and healthy, that's all that matters.

Do you see Amber following a similar career path to Jennifer? Are you happy about her commitment to healthy diet and exercise? Will this weight loss impact her career?
