Many people would be WAY better off if they spent as much time on fitness as they do on "beauty." I mean, given the choice between a fit lady with frizzy hair or a fat one with a 'doo . . . I know which I would prefer. I know many women have different values though. As a guy who walks/bikes to work, with my 12 year old in tow on his way to school, I have come in with wet clothes, hair, etc. That all dries quickly enough. @Js

I do agree that this is not for everyone and just a suggestion for certain people that can actually do this. In fact many people won't train with me at my morning bootcamp because they have no place to take a shower and then be at work fresh and clean ;) We can't have people looking like drowned rats now LOL ;) And you hit the button right on the head with your diet. What you eat is more powerful when it comes to weight loss. Of course exercise + plus diet is the best combo :) Thanks again for sharing Thanks for sharing :) .

Those of us who go to a beauty shop to look better cannot be out in the rain and if it is blowing, an umbrella doesn't prevent our hair from getting wet. Also there are those women with frizzy hair who also cannot get it wet. So, try to consider those factors when making suggestions about how to get to work. Also, some folks live at such a distance from their work that after putting in a long day, they just don't have the energy to walk or bike home. That's just one more thing to consider. I have recently had surgery and am not allowed to exercise at this time but I have lost 30 pounds by just cutting in half the amount I eat with no other significant changes. Dear Virgil,
