Best wishes. If you need some help, I pump iron and I can give you some pointers. :P
Glad you're trying to get active, but what is frootbooting? I looked on Urban Dictionary... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.p ... fid=416836
Doesn't sound cool ... :P
I actually like inline skates. Looks like fun.

Im glad to hear you are taking care of yourself :)

Not sure about your dietary habits, but usually when I feel like I need to lose weight I drink a lot of water before I eat and thus eat smaller meals (they key part). Then if I get hungry I snack on carrots or fruits / veggies... not sure if that will help. Add the gym or anything physical and you are set ;)

But there is my 2 cents ;) ... ya what is FrootBooting?

Goodluck! Btw, good to see you back on the site

Monkey, do you do that every meal? Why would you need to lose weight?

Nah man, don't be ashamed about rollerblading. I'd still be rollerblading as often as I could but I usually blade a little too hard... so my last pair of skates had the wheels melt and the left one snapped in half lol. Blading is a great way to get around town, and once you build the leg muscle, it's more practical than riding a bike IMO. I've hit 32MPH on a flat surface blading before. It's a great workout and once you tone up a bit it won't even phase you that you are working out - you'll just be moving faster.

Why do people call it FrootBooting? Is it a play on "fruit" for being gay?

@advent... you are right, ppl ususally think its a "gay" sport and is no longer cool since it was removed from X-Games. But like DPM said you can get one hell of a work out.

@Advent: I thought the double O's in the word froot were supposed to look like wheels like the O's are boobs in Hooters.
