As an American, I value living in a country where an employee of an American company (Holland America was based in Seattle until it was purchased by Carnival--another American company) can voice his opinions without having them having them denigrated just because he happened to be born in another country.And I'm not sure Captain Albert even meant to give offense--after all "he makes me laugh" is often high praise.Kathi Dear Torbelinoblanco,

I’m trying to understand your comment.
As an American, I value living in a country where an employee of an American company (Holland America was based in Seattle until it was purchased by Carnival–another American company) can voice his opinions without having them having them denigrated just because he happened to be born in another country.

And I’m not sure Captain Albert even meant to give offense–after all “he makes me laugh” is often high praise.

It also makes a terrific substitute for a Christmas Tree. If you end up losing your resolve to walk on your treadmill, it makes a wonderful place to hang wet jackets after coming in from the rain.

That gives your brain a chance to get back in track.

But it's better outside any day if the weather cooperates--and seeing that I live in the South of France it usually does. Ah! Take that from the Frenchie!!!The Couch Potato to 5k is WONDERFUL, I've completed it once, now I'm doing it again with my daughter. I don't think I could have done it at 250lbs+ but I know people who have, just run very slowly and on flat. Also, there are podcast made for interval run/walk, take a look at Podrunner Intervals on iTunes.One "diet" that was really good for me goes like this: All you can eat. -Fish (any kind, not breaded or fried, use an oil substitute spray or steam) -Vegetables (not potatoes) -Fruit (any) -Yogurt (plain, sweetner OK) -Tea, coffee, diet drinks (no booze of any sort)If you like fish it's pretty easy to do this without going crazy, and it's pretty balanced. I lost 12lbs in 2 weeks and men can lose faster than that.I'm rooting for you Mr Cruise man! And I'll see you in July to congratulate you in person!
