lol, well i think i just got the wrong image there. But I suppose that counts as exercise. Just need to convince the missus.

[Mahas]

Haha, no thats not what i was meaning but im sure me and her could come to an agreement xD and if i reduce how much i eat then i should lose weight so some walking and a bit of pushups should work i hope... i sorta have the same body type as this guy:D

Spoiler

But for me i have more muscle...

[Blackout]

Try putting the shit in pounds instead of kilo.

Oh goshhh. I used a converted and the 135kg one equaled 300 lbs.

[Mahas]

Here in Australia we actually are up to date with the world, we don't use pounds... Kilograms are more accurate.

There are also other considerations that will help you lose weight. A healthy sleep pattern, and increased water intake for instance.

Cinnamon Vitamins, DUDE!

healthy, speeds up sugar metabolism, and makings eating healthy rewarding.
I bought some with a friend and she said she lost 8 lbs after a 3 weeks with no diet change. I haven't messed with them because I have been sick and don't really remember to.

[Mishelle]

If you're already planning on cutting back the calories I'd just say try to incorporate more physical activity in your everyday life. Like if you want to go somewhere that's relatively close instead of driving try walking. Or even try one of those exercise tapes. You really only need a good hour of exercise a few days a week.

[Blackout]

It's not hard to be skinny.

And that pic of average.....is not average.

You don't need to buy weights to lose that extra flab. Simple workouts like lunges, up-downs, squats, pushup, pullups, walking/running etc. If you have problems with your weight go look in the mirror that should give you damn good motivation to lose weight, or think about the future implication like the health risks. But first find a way to resolve your personal issues, and the whole exercise part can help you think clearer. This is not a short term goal remember that...this has to be a effort made everyday to lose weight and keep that weight off

yup, the advantage of most of those is that they use your own body as resistance, so your current er... proportions... actually increase the benefit of each rep
remember that it' more important to increase muscle tone than to lose mass; the more toned your skeletal muscles,s the higher your basic metabolic rate, so that you will be burning more calorie just by being alive

Exactly. It annoys me when people ask for products that just make them loose it....your goal is to not be lazy but you're trying to get out of working out?

[ColonelHayden]

Laziness is a factor of the American lifestyle these days. The middle class is its own worst enemy, though Republicans had a lot to do with it. Products that promise more weight loss for less work done is the big thing, and has been, and will be. Workout without the work is just out.

Me too.

[mlv]

1- Go on diet: it doesn't mean to starve, just to eat low calories food, such as vegetables or fruits. Avoid sweets or fries, of course, they're pure fats.
2- If there's no Gym where you live, find a sport to keep you entertained when you practice it, while you're burning calories. You can't run, but can you dance for example?

[luvsmyncis]

Me too.

HAHAHAHAHA I don't think you two are talking about the same thing, though.

[jonahfinn]

as long as you burn off more kilojoules than you're ingesting, you'll lose weight.
so avoid food high in carbs and exercise frequently

[Tarabyte]

is cecil in a rural area or something? =/ 2 times a month wouldn't really be enough to make you lose weight, unless you combine it with other aerobic training.
how do you fare with slower, light intensity exercises like yoga & pilates? I can vouch for pilates making you lose weight and toning muscles, but I haven't done yoga on a long term basis to see results =p

I can vouch for yoga toning muscle. I've never exercised to lose weight, so I don't know about that.

My sister lost 100 pounds (about 45kg) last year by cutting soda out of her diet, eating way healthier, and doing little things like parking far away from where she's going so she has to walk, and walking her daughter to the bus stop.

[DanDoesWork]

Find yourself a partner too. Someone who WILL push you when they think your going to to give up on yourself...Keep us updated on the situation. Google is your friend if you don't know much, and heres a tip don't do the fad diets/exercises, they DO not work and its just a waste of time and money. Keep it simple, and keep your mind right.

[luvsmyncis]

WE CAN DANCE IF WE WANT TO.

yup--a million things, all day long every day, is far superior to just adding or subtracting one thing
lifestyle change will lead to body composition change

[Mahas]

Well i am planning on eating a lot less, planning on walking more, also going to try and clean the house everyday instead of when it needs to be, planning on trying to get back into doing 100-200 pushups and crunches/situps etc also squats each day...

Hoping i can get to 70 again, thats my goal.

[Currant]

I posted this in another weight loss thread, but you should count calories. Take your goal weight (in pounds, I don't know about KG) and multiply it by 10. Then eat that amount of calories per day.

I.e: If your goal weight is 110 lbs, multiply that by 10 (110*10= 1100), so eat 1100 calories a day, and you will lose weight.


And the whole "eating less than 2500 calories a day is unhealthy" is BS. Take a multi-vitamin and make sure you're eating the right nutrients that you need and you'll be golden.

[Currant]
