ZombieKitten said:

thats a good idea, im trying 2 do that, drink a glass or 2 of water b4 i eat and fills u up or eat fruit filled with water, watermelon etc.


but u have 2 eat.

the drinking water before meals is a good idea...I think I'll do that too, cause I have 30 pounds (I guess about 14 Kg) that I'd like to get rid of for good.

I just had cheese and crackers for lunch...does that count.....god what are u ..my mother

1. Stop drinking full flavored sodas (if you do indulge)...in any event, reduce your sugar intake...
2. Stay away from white bread and processed flour products...
3. EXERCISE...even 15-30 minutes each day is enough to keep your metabolism firing....
4. Moderate your carb intake...

good luck!!

I need to take note of this as well.

ocean said:

FINE!
No more trying to keep U healthy & happy!
Go crack open one of those Heineken Kegs for afternoon tea for all I care!

Amaxx said:

All I ate today were those Goldfish Crackers and some Extra Large Virginia Peanuts. Lately, I've just been snacking. I actually think I'm slowly losing weight, if only grams and ounces rather than pounds. Heh

U're going the right way 2 getting a smacked bottom!
And U had the gaul 2 call me a Girl!

Oh, and I forgot to say this: Bottom-heavy chicks rule my world. Not too heavy. Just thick.

missfee said:

I forgot to add that minimizing alcohol intake is also important...if you do imbibe, stick to the white/light liqours (white rum, vodka, gin)..and drink them straight up or mix with diet sodas, water, or natural fruit juices, not the ones that are overloaded with added sugars.....

....I also use Splenda or SweetNLow in a pinch in my coffee....

A combination of weight-training/cardio will do the trick. Ya gotta get out there and sweat, ladies! There's no magic pill for this shit.

Indeed, good sir!! And it should also be noted that working out for more than an hour during an individual session is generally not recommended for the average person (i.e., not a competetive body-builder or athlete)....

My advice and it has worked, first stop eating before you go to bed, that was the most stupid thing i did, but it was after work and i was hungry. Once I stopped that which took bout 15 lbs off in a month. I'll have a couple of saltine crackers when I get the urge.

Works for me. Also the major hurdle is to change your lifestyle and the role food plays in it.

Cause its NOT a diet, its a way of life.

This is essentially the exact same thing I do and I've been able to keep pretty trim for years after an initial 25-30lb loss. The thing is I'm not very tall, so even an extra 10 lbs just does NOT look good on me. I just wish I had the wearwithal to do some damn ab excercises regularly. I reeeeeallly want a girly pack on my tummy (what would it be? A 4 Pack, maybe ). I tried doing the ab series from THE FIRM dvds, and even as masochistic as I AM I could not hang with those heffas ...in fact, I never wanted to throw stuff at my tv so badly before in my life

But yeah, if she follows your suggestions and incorporates her walks back into her scedule she'll be fine . I would add that she should intake whole grains to help the metabolic process (brown rices, 100% dark/whole wheat breads, barley, quinoa, whole wheat cerals w/o sugar ect.), as well as invest a few visits to a sauna to help jumpstart it. All this with 8 glasses of water per day, veggies and nuts as her between meal snacks, and she can probably drop that 10 kilo in 4-6 weeks...faster if she takes up a consistent aerobic excercise regimen to help her burn off the fat.

uPtoWnNY said:

Exactly. You need at least 30 minutes to get your body into the fat burning phase. That being said, I'm about to go put in 50 minutes of Tai Chi-Kickboxing combo class right now

missmad said:

no fear about that!

Ottensen said:

I already do that I make pearl barley or black or whild rice instead of white rice, never eat white bread.

imagine that!

reneGade20 said:

yep really have to do that, and no more beers

lazycrockett said:

I'm doing that right now, just sipping some cool water instead of eating

ZombieKitten said:

You can still have a beer now and then...if you stay with full flavored, minimize drinking them as much as possible, especially if its a heavy beer...if you go light, 2-4 a week won't do much damage....me, I drink this...




...helps me maintain my girlish figure....

reneGade20 said:

Really? I do around two hours, four days a week.

uPtoWnNY said:

2 hours? Damn, bro! How old are you? I don't have energy like that to burn and I'm 19.

You're having another baby!

I think you look great in your avatar!

I'll be 48 in seven days. I started hitting the weights from '85-'88, then I got lazy and stopped for a long time. I got back into it in '98, and I've been nonstop ever since. I do about 90 min. of weight training and 40 min. of cardio(mostly StairMaster). It does wonders for your health, which is a priority since I'm pushing the big 5-0.
