6 Kilos

Still gaining weight. Yes, I'm running 8Km again and slightly improving, but I need to run 30K to burn the amount of food that I eat. You're eating like a pig, and turning into a cow. Stop eating. Stay away from that fridge. Don't look at that menu. Starvation. Starts NOW.

Well, I couldn't help but get my favorite juice after today's run --Strawberry with Orange. This had better be the last thing I put in my mouth today.

Mohammed,

You know I haven't actually gained any weight on the scale but I'm less toned & I have much less energy.I blame it on my job.
When I was at college & living away from home I lived on Burger King & Dominos & Dunkin Donuts.But I was on my feet the whole day. Just walking from class to the lab or from the lab back to my dorm was like 15 or 20 min.Added to which we went out so much.Ice-skating, roller-skating, miniature golf, bowling, dancing. It wasn't regular exercise in the gym but it was an active lifestyle.
Now I work all day i.e. am sitting on my desk for more than 10 hrs everyday.Then after work I go sit in restaurants & coffee shops with my friends or go home & stretch out on the couch infront of the TV.
So now I HAVE to exercise. I tried really hard to get out of it because I find the gym so dull & it's way too hot to go running here.So I actually went to see a doctor about liposuction. She was laughing at me. She said that there were no fat deposits for her to work on & that my muscles were just slacking out & need exercise.And I checked out all the cellulite treatments. In addition to being indecently expensive am told they won't work for me because I have no cellulite. Again I was told you just need to exercise.
I try to go swimming & really push myself & do lengths in the weekend so that's at least twice a week.And I want to take some dancing classes. Let's hope that will do the trick.
Good luck with your running. It's the best exercise if the weather is good & you're in a nice area.

TAO! I did hide next to the fridge during the earthquate. Or so my friends claim :)

Loulou, nothing better than a good exercise. Why liposuck, when you can take it out with exercise? But if exercise won't do it, then by all means, suck it all out.

Mohamed,

"I order a large pizza to finish it on my own..."

Skipping the above will do it for you! starvation never work, better choices and small changes does have a steady long term affect. Slowly but surely :)

Loulou,

Please don't seek Lipo there is always side affects to every surgery and I think you can lead a very healthy life style from what you wrote. May be if you find someone to hold you accountable and check on your daily excercise routine, you will be motivated.

I have a friend who does that via e-mail and it works!

Hey MMI, what you're describing sounds pretty damn good --except for having to ask others if you're fat (I always thought one can tell if he/she is fat). We all need to hit the gym, even if we're not overweight, and yeah I guess this post should work as a reminder to all. This is what happens to you if you slack out.

I've had the same problem lately you describe Mo... I went from extreme physical excercise in the Marines to being a deskbound computer programmer. I got away with it for about 5 years, but then I started getting a bit... mushy... around the middle :p

Lets see... pounds to kilos is pounds / 2.2 right? I weighed 86 kilos in the Marines which I guess is my ideal weight. I weighed 95 kilos 6 months ago. 89 kilos now. I think I'm setting my goal for about 81 kilos because I'm not as muscular as I was in the Marines... gonna see how things go I guess.

It's freaking hard though. I tried just eating less (I'm not really an over-eater, I just don't get enough excercise) but that didn't really do anything. Then I joined a Gym which is working pretty well... problem is my workout buddy is wanting to work with weights all the time, with emphasis on bodybuilding, which really isn't what I'm there for. It is taking off the pounds, but I'd rather be doing a cardio workout. Anyway... the gym works. I go 3 times a week for about 1.5 hours and that seems to be plenty. And it's a lot harder to be lazy about it when I've got a set schedule to keep with a workout partner.

Quite nice to read this Monday morning! Thanx, Mo, I really needed to remind myself to loose some more weight! NOT! Oh, well, I guess it's faith! :))
