Big women... do you agree?

hmm...these studies about this and being obese allways make me laugh. I watch more than 2 hours of tv a day and I am active most of my day I also have allways eaten alot of McDonalds. I weigh 110 lbs. (underweight) being overweight has to do with many factors such as hereditary, metabolism, overeating, lack of exercise. it is not just one thing, and alot of times there isent alot a person can do as far as the hereditary and metabolism. I dont think 2 hours of TV is that much or that it would really affect weight.

I can understand this, totally. Unless you're like some people, who do sit-ups during commercial breaks, or watch TV while they work out (at the gym or at home), I don't see how you're burning any calories in front of the TV. And plus, people are more likely to eat when watching TV than doing anything else - so this statistic is definitely understandable.

Well, the reason for that is women who are in front of the television for couple of hours are not physically active. People who do not move a lot tend to gain weight because they are not burning what they eat. Another thing is that when you are in front of the television, tendency is that you will eat a bag of Chips or popcorn and not knowingly you have consumed double of the required calories per day, or sometimes even triple. Not only those who watch Television but also those people who is in front of the computer all day long.

Well I guess I'll agree w/ that because spending time in front of the tv means sitting the whole viewing time. And if it takes longer then letirally more time of just sitting and doing nothing so the calories are not burned.

I think this is true especially for those people who love eating while watching TV. They enjoy a lot in watching that they enjoy the eating too. I have noticed that as you watch TV, you'll be able to encounter some food commercials that will make you hungry and crave for something to eat.

I dont believe one word of this. I know there is such thing as a couch potato, but I dont think watching television makes woman obese or men for that matter. I do take on board that while watching televison, you are in effect not physically active. I would say that people who undertake these studies are more likely to obese than the average television viewer. If we were to belive all these so called studies, we would never do anything at all, as most studies of this nature say everthing is bad for you.

iam sorry but that is a load of crap i owned my own business very active and stood on my feet 14 hour a day working i mean moving around from one customer to the next and i had two kids to care for.i am a big bone woman my bones that hold my flesh on it is just thick so i came to a conclusion i will never be small i have to watch my weight all my life up and down.i am happy who i am and my family and friends love me just way i am.even today iam still busy having a lot to do.

Hmm...it could be true!! I really can't say. Ever since, my television conked and we decided not to purchase a new one, my size has decreased. LOL!!!

wow!! I did not know that. I'm lucky because I am not fond of watching television and for sure I am not obese. I am slim hahahaha.. Well, the reason maybe why they are obese because they keep on eating while watching. That is the most common thing I've seen for people who watch TV. They always have something to eat and that is the cause why they are obese.
