5 times around the lake, noticably easier and feeling less stuffed afterwards. And also a decent chicken lunch and salad dinner.
When I say I'm not eating sugar, I mean processed stuff. I'm not doing hardcore Atkins or anything like that, I think Atkins is way too strict. I do eat "good carbs," like fruits, especially grapes, apples, oranges, and bananas. So it's not a sugar free diet, by any means, it's the good sugars, not the processed junk.Originally posted by Anbira Hicchoru
Nutri grain bars are natural sugars and whole grain carbs, so they're a good thing to start your day on. Just don't eat like 2 or 3 for dinner dessert or anything
And avoid artificial sweeteners, sorry Jinn. You're tricking your body into taking something that isn't sugar in the place of sugars that diet or not, your body does need. You will do more harm than good if this is your only source of the sweet stuff.
Avoiding high fructose corn syrups and the nasty junk food sugars like that is always a good idea, but if you need sweets, get something with natural sugars in it.
Nah, just got some common sense :-pOriginally posted by Lilaena De'Ville

Here's a decent 'troubleshooting' link if you're having trouble shedding some weight:

I did not know that. So what are some good ab exercises that will get rid of fat?Originally posted by JMK
Yeah, if you're going to be doing pushups and situps, you need to get in to the 10 reps / many sets each exercise.
Also, sit ups won't burn fat around your midsection. It will tone your muscle, but it won't eliminate the fat that surrounds it (if there's any there).
have been taking the stairs at work as much as possible, and can now go up 2 flights without stopping... still out of breath when I reach the top, but not as much as before and I'veI shaved about 25 seconds off the time it takes.
I have stress marks on my shoulders.
That's pretty normal, if you get on a good workout run. You should see my friend with his shirt off. He bulked up so fast around his pectorals that it looks like he's been stabbed a few times
Yeah. I thought I got attacked by some sort of cat thing. Never had 'em before so I was like screaming around my room.
As I am a fairly serious swimmer, I do have some training equipment. I have thence some hand paddles that really work the swimming muscles and especially the back. 1km of THAT and anouther 20 laps doing walking / jogging and I am offically stuffed
Cardio, my friend, cardio. That's the best way to burn the spare tire around your midsection.Originally posted by Wei Wu Wei

Dunno if you call 10km up the bloody hills this place has as your idea of relaxation and recovery. More like WHEN THE HELL IS THIS HILL GONNA STOP?!?!
I will post here although my story is a little funier then most. Over the past year I have lost aproximently 60lbs. I weighed about 260 and am now at a 200.
I didn't even try at losing it eather it just sort of heppened because of my job. I work nights an 8 hour shift lifting heavy objects and walking and standing allot, Manual labor. I got to the point where i was eating one meal at the lunch hour on over nights because when i got home I just wasn't hungery i wanted to sleep.
Funny part is most itmes I didn't eat healthy at the lunch eather I ate mcdonalds or taco bell. That has changed some now manily because MCdonalds makes me sick to my stomach.
Now all i need to do is tone myself. But as for the eating health part it would be a good choice though and regular exercise is better then working yourself to death anyday.
1.5 hours in the mountains again, well over 10km, probably approaching 15km, but this time in the forests and generally offroad. Somewhat tougher to do as you would expect trying to climb 300m in altitude. My place is about 250m above sea level. lots fun going downhill of course.
I need to pratice changing tires, it's a good workout.

New bike. 24 speed, front suspension, 19" frame, aluminium. Somewhat heavier than the bike I have been using, but better offroad and rock hopping, but the gearing and weight makes it a harder thing on the road. Sure it can drop down to 16 billion pedal rpm at walking pace, but that's for real serious mountain climbing. The top gear is a few sprockets larger/smaller F/R so the it's a higher ratio. Gotta get used to this before stretching the distance - still the lake was done five/six times (lost count). Much nicer over the bumps and a few areas got turned into jumps.
I also have had for a while a proper biking backpack, but now also have a better fitting helmet while keeping the same gloves.
Harder but more fun.
Fun? Hell yes. Lake laps are much more fun with some controlled air action now and a bit of dipping down the mountain and working back up. 15km...? Something like that.
