Recommended Methods of Losing Weight

[okami]

Guys and girls alike: What would you recommend as the best method of losing weight?

Like any specific diets you've been on that've worked, etc etc.

Okami is desperate to know XD

[Wesh]

i also need to work on my weight. the best method (imo) would be a combination of cardio training (fitness) and watching ur food. I can live up to the first part of that method, i think it's fun, but the second part.. aaargh that's like so hard. Not eating chips, chocolate, puddings, yummy food and all that good stuff. It's kinda hard!
But when i finish my exams (friday) i'm gonna go back to fitnessing and i'll watch my eating behaviours a bit. I'll just cut down on fatty and suggary and salty food.

havent been on any specific diets so can't help ya right there Okami, sorry.

[riqyn]

for me to keep my 'figure' I drink lots and lots of water, probably an average of 96floz a day.
Eat homemade meals when I can. NO fastfood! I havent been to a fastfood place for a couple of months, it's tempting at time but I still can just eat something just as quick at home.
Minimize on the soft drinks ie. pop (soda). Ive tried to keep it to one or two cans a week.

Thats how I keep a regiment of around 170lbs.

[bloodcrest]

Sit ups after dinner o.O It works.

[Thaliel]

Sports and and keeping an eye on what you eat. If you cannot do it yourself, you could join Weight Watchers. My mom does that and is very satisfied.

[~JoY~]

wesh > wat kinda cardio training do you do?

i've been wanting to get back into shape.. i put on alooott eva since this yr when i went back to studying.. urgh..

[Pixie]

im lucky! i eat looooooooaaaaadsa crap and dont put on weight! (exept lately,vamps has been feeding me alot of choccie and im gettin a teeny bellie...lol)
but just eat right and,perhaps do some sit ups in the morning and go for a run during the day! get mates to do it with ya! swimming is really good exercise too!

[~JoY~]

Pixie > u're so darn lucky!
i have frens like u too who can't put on weight no matter what they eat!
but they complain coz they're too skinny.. >.>

[okami]

Pixie: No fairrrr!!!!

Whoa riqqie you're hardcore o_O

Joy: Me tooo!! Studying = indulgence in sinful foods eh... Grrrrr....

[~JoY~]

@okami
yeah!!!!

mayb after my Os and ur exams, we should like get together to work out or sth..
>.>

darn.. the stress of school..

[negativzero]

a simple thing you can o to lose weight would me to drink a lot of water, it fills the stomach faster than food.
also, if you plan to snack, don't eat peanuts and chips, and instead, eat an apple, or some fresh fruits.
but of course, running is the best! beginners should run about 2-4km 3 times a week, while seasoned runners should be doing 5-12km 4 times a week. basically any streneous sport will make you lose weight fast.

[deathshinobi]

yea my friend is a sports trainer and he recommended me to eat 4-6 times a day in order to keep the metabolism going, and he gave me some vitamiins to, and jus watch wat u eat ad a lot f cardio

[riqyn]

Whoa riqqie you're hardcore o_OI guess you could say that. When you dont have an abundace of money you cant afford to go to fastfood places everyday and it costs money for pop whereas water is free. Not to mention its healthier to go with this alternative.

The best way to lose weight...is to build muscle...

And before the girls go EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...u girls don't tend to bulk up so don't worry...

The more you exercise the more you burn because if you gain 5 pounds of muscle and keep eating the same amount for a whole year...you naturally lose 10 pounds of fat since muscles eat up calories fast! So hit the gym...tone up...do a few runs and don't be scared to pick up some weights...

[shihouin]

hmm, best methods of weightloss is ... drink lots of water, and try to eat as many water based foods as possible. lettuce, fruit, stuff like that. Soups are great as long that you don't go overboard on the oils, starches, and meats. some canned tomatoes, and vegetables and let it stew. Drink alot and it should work.
Stuff like nuts and starch actually are not the best for weightloss. Their starches, and starches, aka glucose, is a very high source of energy, not as high as pure sugar, but it still is pretty effective as a source of energy.

[Travis]

Losing weight and staying fit requires work. There is no good fast track diet. All those are garbage. There is plenty of good information out there on nutrition. There are things like if you build muscle, your body burns extra calories to maintain that muscle. I think I read it was one pound of muscle burns 300 calories a day, but not sure. Soda is bad for you. Get rid of it. There is really too much info to post, but I will recommend a book. The Abs Diet. Its not really a diet book, but it gives facts on nutrition and what certain foods do for the body exactly. Whats good for you and whats not and why. Usually we hear this and that is bad but we don't know the reason. It also has a good workout plan for circuit training, which will work your whole body. Its really a good book I think. I don't have much experience with fitness books but I couldn't put it down and read it in like 2 days. I even bought a copy for my mom and a friend, and convinced a friend to buy it.

[SkorchedAsh]

5 months ago, i was 6'5 and 300lbs, im now 6'6(got sports physica form school yesterday^_^) and a lean 255. that may sound like alot, but my body fat content level thingy is at i believe 13 percent..and thats supposidly pretty **** good. like what was aaid before..drink lots of water..run 2x a week, lift weights, and if you can, join a sports team..im doing football for school, but after that im trying other things like volleyball(awsome) and rugby. I never changed my eating habits..i still kram doritos and dr. pepper in my face. the key i believe is water! WATERWATERWATER!

you would be better if you crammed some better food in your mouth instead. The crap in pop is some of the worst stuff you can ingest. I bet if you changed your eating habits to the right stuff you would have more energy and stuff. 13 percent is pretty good you're right. I think anything under 15 percent is good for a guy. Girls can be a little bit higher though cause of stuff.

[Wesh]

wesh > wat kinda cardio training do you do?

i try to run like 4-5 times a week. i started off a month ago running on the, erm watcha ma call it? that machine on wich you run. i started running for 10 minutes at a steady pace of 10-13 km/h. Now, two months later, i'm running like 25 minutes at 13-15. I'm totally wasted after that, but it's like that. If there is some energy left, i also ride de bicyles a bit (5-10 minutes).
And i lift weights before i start doing my cardio stuff. i heard lot of opinions, but what do yall think:
* lift weights before or after cardio?
* crunches/situps before or after cardio?

My order is: lifting weights, cardio, situps/crunches.

how/where do yo calculate bodyfat percentage?

[PINOY]

Umm...dont eat crappy food and excercise :confused: :D

I can eat like a horse and not gain a pound...Asian secret <__< >__>

[SkorchedAsh]

i was at like 38 percent or something when i weighed 300...im alot more muscular..i run the mile in 6:45...beat a kid on cross country team this year, last year i was dead last in the mile...even the fat girl with giant boobs beat me..it was like 12mins...very sad. i know i cold get even better..but i <3 dr.pepper, nothign wkll stop me from buying that...and i dislike salads...im more of a natcho cheese/meat guy...and whatya talking about energy...nacho cheese is like ALL carbs!..i pull days from 5am till 10pm school-football-work-homework...^_^

[Katsuki]

Play sports... anything that involves running... In my flagfootball team, we all eat like there's no tomorrow, and most of us don't gain anything...

I went from 124 - 112 in like a month after I started playing.

[Travis]

Oh I forgot this, eat 6 meals a day instead of 3. I'm sure everyone's heard this, but I never got a good reason why. When you eat every couple of hours 300-400 calories, your metabolism is always active and always digesting food, so you are burning more calories digesting food all day long and your metabolism speeds up quite a bit.

[shihouin]

yah, we're like that, eat a ton not gain a thing

O.o
I read this and it totally reminded me of one of those girly magazines where they tell you how to lose weight or something...

but I normally just watch what I eat and then do 100 sit ups..but I dont really do those anymore, but Ill start back up since my gymnastics classes started.


yah, we're like that, eat a ton not gain a thing

T_T I used to be like that(my brother even called me twiggy cuz I was so thin)..now Ill gain like, 5 lbs if I eat too much..

[jewlreya]

Sit ups after dinner o.O It works.
Hey..that's not good. You ought to rest enough before you workout.

Ok, what Slayer has mentionedis very true. Nz's method seems so HARD!

My method - very effective on me. I lost like over 8kg within 1months. Although I didn't want to be that light..

Well..firstly, for girls who hate jogging, go climbing stairs, it helps build up muscles around the hips area which in turns let you have a nicer butt. Then, walk more distance or stand more. It's burns more calories than when you are sitting all the time. Then, hit out in the gym and do some toning. Don't worry,muscle won'y build for girls since we are not doing heavy weight lifting, it helps to remove flabby arms, legs and what we all hate most - tummy!

While watching tv, commercials break comes - do sit ups or some stretching exercise. If you love the Sun, go have a swim, swimming is the only exercise that requires us to move our hands, legs and body. Ice skating can be good as well for toning the bottom of the body. Play badminton - light exercise as compared to volley ball/tennis/basketball, just that you need a friend to come along with you.

For diet, cut down on rice intake. Eat on the dishes you have to go along with the rice. Just eat whatever you want and reduce on rice. It cuts down on carbohydrates and burns stored fats in our body. Confirm lost weight. But not to a point that you feel hungry all the time.

Anyway, Okami-chan, don't overwork on the diet thing. No good for long term.
4 words for people trying to slim down, 少吃多动 (eat less junks and move more)

what kind of exercises build up the hip muscles for girls?
Yeah I hear women just got toned and firm bodies they don't get bigger. :)

[~JoY~]

yah, we're like that, eat a ton not gain a thing

hey~ tats not fair.. im asian but yet i gain weight when i eat too much..
T_T

wahhh.. jewl~ u lost sooo much in 1month?
T____________________________T
i too wanna lost 8kgs in 1month.. haha..

When you eat every couple of hours 300-400 calories, your metabolism is always active and always digesting food, so you are burning more calories digesting food all day long and your metabolism speeds up quite a bit.actually it does not work, in fact by doing so you tend to put on the pounds. its true that digestion is a high metabolic process, however, when you digest food, your body tends to channel all its energy to this process, while at the same time, lowering the metabolic rate of other processes in the body(yes this is the reason why people fall asleep after lunch), so your metabolic rate stays the same, and it well, eating more, would amount to putting on more weight this way.

[jewlreya]

Hmmm...Travis, for your question... I think climbling stairs work on the hips. And the way you walk. You have to make sure one leg is stretched to the back before taking another step forward, and walk straight don't hunch the back!

Joy, I don't recommend losing 8kg in a month. No good at all, I look sicky and all that. That's why I come back to eating and eaing and still eating. LOL. A little chubby now but I don't really care.

[Tifdevil666]

junk food is yummy ;x

[yume]

well for me i go on the trendmill everyday....and do sit-ups^^...i usually do 200 sit-ups cuz it really helps flatten the tummy....and sometimes i pop in a dvd and do pilates...this help tone abs, arms, legs, etc

playing sports really helps as well....for me playing tennis helps quite a bit...cuz ur moving alot and for me i run alot while playing tennis since i hve to pick up the balls that i miss><"" especially when u hit way over the fence and hve to run out to get it...no fun but ur running!!... so tennis is quite good...badminton not bad either

water!! drink lots of water!!! this will really help ya...and drink a cup of water half hr before ur meal to fill ur tummy up...so when u eat u will eat lesser
eat healthy...like more veggies, but not much starchy foods, and avoid fast food and junk food as best as u can, no soda cuz they hve ALOT of sugar in them

eat breakfast!!! this will help as well, fills u up in the morning since u lose alot at night, and hve a really light lunch...having breakfast will allow u to do this...so u won't be really hungry when lunch comes....and if u love midnight snacking hve something light!! and wait 3 hours after u eat and then sleep..if u wanna sleep

don't sit to much, cuz sitting to much will make u gain weight...so when ur watching tv u could do the hoola hoop (i do that^____^) doesn't waste ur time and u will be kept on ur feet.....go jogging, or a walk to the park or something, dance to ur fav music

i tried this diet once...and it works....but...
i needed to lose some weight before prom....so i went on an apple diet
the ppl where i brought the dress told me this....LOL...just eat apples and drink water for 3 days to a week and u will lose weight.... u do!!...but it's not really good for u.....let me tell u something i will never ever do it again!! and i couldn't eat another apple for quite a while
don't suggest anyone to do this!!

so in the end i think best way is to eat healthy and just exercise!

[okami]

@okami
yeah!!!!

mayb after my Os and ur exams, we should like get together to work out or sth..

Yeah man... We totally should XD

2-4 km??? *chokes* beginners???? I can barely pass my 2.4. :p

Travie: Oooh.. I'm gonna check that one out after the exams...

[Dr. Impz]

ok because i lost like 10 kg in 2 months, kinda...

I do the atkins diet (aka low carbo diet)...for quite a while with some small excerise...so yea.

However, i think i was sick for quite a while, so i slimmed down with that too.

No actually it works, but a lot of experts were saying it's not healthy because when you don't utilise carb you use fats and produce these poisonous thingies... I forget what they're called now...

So it works, but it's not a good idea cos of those things.

(I think?? Correct me if I'm wrong.)

[yume]

o.O you actually do all of that @_@

ya kinda^^
cuz i eat alot....need to do something....so doing all that helps me
but not always....there r time where i am lazy...and skip a bit
but always do trendmill!!!...would never miss a day without running

[Tifdevil666]

i eat till im always full =.=;; and i never run or anything ,_, im lazy

(I think?? Correct me if I'm wrong.)atkins works, but like you said, the body utilises its own protein supply to compensate for the lack of glucose in the body, when this happens, the amino acids are converted into carbohydrates(via some process which i can't remember), and the by products of this reraction is urea and ketones, which are harmful to your body. also, your brain can only hydrolyse glucose for metabolism, and filtering waste from your brain takes longer than the rest of the body, since the nervous system has its own set of vascular pathways, you're gonna get brain damage in the long run too.

[pinkhime]

o.O
interestin ways!!!!ard to decide which method suits mi >.<
i'm as desperate as okami to lose weight!!!*envies ppl who eat loads without gainin weight* hmpffff...
*listens attentively*

WHOA. Brain damage... That's madness...

A fruit diet would be okay though, right? Since fruits are all carb anyway.


pinkhime: teehee. You, me and Joy can form the Sisterhood of Weight-Watchers XD



Oh gosh, I just saw this post in a blog.

The Hare and the Tortoise
A Hare one day ridiculed the short feet and slow pace of the Tortoise, who replied, laughing: "Though you be swift as the wind, I will beat you in a race." The Hare, said: "Eh, let's go shoe shopping instead". To which the Tortoise agreed and they both had a fine time maxing out their credit cards on several pairs of gorgeous shoes which you really had to see to appreciate how fabulous they were.

MORAL: If you prefer going running instead of shoe shopping, I...I don't know what sort of person you are.


That sounds like me alright. No wonder I can't lose weight ROFL

[bloodcrest]

._. Well, sit ups after dinner. They always burn off your dinner ._.

[jewlreya]

This sounds a lot more fun than NZ's workout from hell ROFL
Well, the moment I read Nz's workout, even though I'm those who don't hate jogging, I just give a pass on it. I won't be able to run that far. I will die probably. My methods are the lazy people methods. I got them from my guy friends.

[padlet]

i'm currently playing tennis and trying to cut off soda to lose weight. >_<

[Eurasian]

good idea paddy (it's ok to call you that?)
soda is sooooo bad for you. it's nothing but sugar. when you're thirsty drink water.

[Tobiume]

I agree with you Eura-chan (I'm taking the mick Mi-neechan gave you, is that ok?) sodas are the first thing to eradicate to lose weight...As well as fast-food, butter...

But the most important is to have a well balanced diet and to eat more or less at the same hours everyday...And no eating between the meals (That one's really difficult ^^ :D )

[padlet]

good idea paddy (it's ok to call you that?)
soda is sooooo bad for you. it's nothing but sugar. when you're thirsty drink water.

yep. i'm trying to drink more water.
before yesterday (lol)...
i drank like 3 cans of soda a day! and only sipped water a few times. (like 1/4 of a bottle's worth) x__x

[jewlreya]

Aww...that's bad. Don't drink coke - it's so acidic. It is said that if you put a tooth in and soak it in coke for a week, it can dissolved the whole tooth. Plus, it's not good for health.

[riqyn]

Aww...that's bad. Don't drink coke - it's so acidic. It is said that if you put a tooth in and soak it in coke for a week, it can dissolved the whole tooth. Plus, it's not good for health.I agree dont drink coke (always tasted nasty to me)
But about the tooth dissolving is actually a myth.
Test 5 - Cola can dissolve a tooth in 24 hours: Two teeth are soaked for 24 hours, one in cola and one in phosphoric acid. The acid tooth is reduced to half it's original size, but the cola tooth just turns an ugly brown colour. Neither completely dissolves. Myth busted.I doubt that if you still left it in for a week that it'll completely disolve.

[bloodcrest]

Its all about chemistry here.

But think this way about coke: Your stomach has a high acidity Hydrochloric acid, drinking coke with corrode your stomach as coke has a way lower acidity. (Higher ph)

As for the tooth thing, Who knows if the carbonate reacts fast enough? =x It all depends on what temperature and stuff the reaction is kept at =x

[negativzero]

it won't corrode your stomach BC, and anyway you're wrong, stomach acids have a lower pH than coke.
and yes, as riq just said, its a myth, your tooth will just not dissolve. your tooth enamel, is strong enough to withstand being scratched by metal, and it can protect your tooth from the harmful effects of acid well, since it is pretty inert. so unless you use a strong acid, like phosphoric acid, you won't really see the tooth disappear. besides, enamel regenerates in your teeth pretty fast too.

[pinkhime]

woahh..freaky soft drinks around..*shivers*
besides coke r thr other soft drinks tt r THAT corrosive?
anw..i only drink WATER...n sometyms fresh fruit juices.
but heard tt too much water isn't gd rite? =/

[Travis]

atkins diet sucks. its as simple as that. You can eat healthy food regularly without going on some stupid diet like that. cause when you cut out the carbs it can be difficult because you will get cravings for them cause you need them and usually if you get a little weak you will splurge on something bad when you do

[BLUESMILE]

Only drink some milk and eat several vegetables , it will lose your weight so fast , almost is 1 kg every three day . But it needs you to be able to take it .
Oh those days , now I just need to keep my slim figure , sometimes I will eat some meat such as chicken , but very little .
In a word , eat less . I think thin is better than fat .

o_O If coke had a lower pH than HCl it'd be sour XD

(sour coke. yuck.)

The main problem I have on diets is CHOCOLATE.
I just can't give them up.
The most I can go without eating chocolate is like... umm.. 2 weeks?

the title of this should be recommended ways of losing weight healthily. I mean everyone on here is basically like starve yourself and drink a lot and you will lose weight. no ****. If you think after that you will be strong and healthy, you're wrong. When you don't get proper nutrition your body tears through your muscles first, not fat.

scientists haven't confirmed that point yet, they're still arguing over it actually.

but proteins or fat digestion on large scale = not very healthy. ^^

[bloodcrest]

it won't corrode your stomach BC, and anyway you're wrong, stomach acids have a lower pH than coke.
and yes, as riq just said, its a myth, your tooth will just not dissolve. your tooth enamel, is strong enough to withstand being scratched by metal, and it can protect your tooth from the harmful effects of acid well, since it is pretty inert. so unless you use a strong acid, like phosphoric acid, you won't really see the tooth disappear. besides, enamel regenerates in your teeth pretty fast too.

I meant lower acidity, not lower pH!

confirmed what?
I know the part on burning through muscle tissue first is true, i've read it multiple times.

The main problem I have on diets is CHOCOLATE.

They haven't confirmed that protein is burned before fat. :D

I discussed it with my tutor just the other day, so I'm very sure.
I thought it was protein first too, actually, but apparently not.



pinkhime: YES!!! Totally... But I really dunno how though... :(

I mean if you are starving your body begins burning your muscle first to get nutrients before fat. Doesn't mean your body won't burn fat too. I just read that your body goes for your muscles first.
not protein being burned before fat from foods.

pinkhime: YES!!! Totally... But I really dunno how though... :(*flexes biology knowledge*

technically, they should burn off fat first, since the hydrogen content in fat in contrast to that of protein is higher, which means that there is more hydrogen available for ETC cycle, so yeah, fat is burned off first. but the metabolism fo fat for energy results in the production of ketones, which are harmful for the body. proteins are not used so often because, like you said, it eats up part of your muscle first, so you get weak faster.

in the brain however, it is the total opposite, you don't burn away fat first, bceause the neurons in the nerve fibres are made almost exclusively of fat, also your brain matter is made up mostly of fat too, so it is not a wise idea to do so. besides, your brain only metabolises glucose, which can only be made my conversion of amino acids into glucose(another step which i forgot). so fat is left relatively untouched in the brain. however, this is not to say that metabolising protein in the brain is good. the matrix within the white and gray matter of the spinal cord constitutes a significant amount of amino acids and glucose, which comed directly from the body, so even if you use up this, remember your body is getting amino acid from some other part of your body...

Muscles? Fat? ?.?

[Tifdevil666]

good idea paddy (it's ok to call you that?)
soda is sooooo bad for you. it's nothing but sugar.
but..its so good o____o...


when you're thirsty drink water.
ew ,_,

plain water tastes so dry x_x

needs flavor ,_,

[bloodcrest]

Stir sugar in then o.o!

[JudgeMe]

Drink lots of water and chew alot of sugar free gum. It takes the edge of off hunger and helps you not to get hunary so often. It also helps when you think you're hungary. but you know you aren't type thing. And eat smaller portions. And run, run like hell. That's what I did, lost like 9 pounds in 2 months. 0_0 I don't know if that will help or not.

[Tifdevil666]

Stir sugar in then o.o!
or
just drink soda
._.

[~JoY~]

green tea is good.. =P

the non-sugar-ed down one.

[bloodcrest]

or

._.
Dont touch soda. ._. Soda = evil.

Water water water~!

[jewlreya]

Just drink water. It helps improve your complexion as well.

[Dr. Impz]

yea, brewed green tea detoxifies u, it's good ^_^

Or plain water :P

well, i am so happy, i lost another 1 kg !!! :P

[DEATHGOD1]

ahh metric :p

You can always try taking up bricklaying during the summer i lost 35 pounds doing that :D

[yume]

water is the magic thing to drink^______^

i remember reading something somewhere that shows u how to lose weight
when u r in lectures:D don't really remember what it is anymore
but will try to look it up...and then i'll post

[WhiteTiger05]

Yes, eight glasses of water is a must ^^.
But um....how much is a glass (glasses have different sizes)?

Also almost any kind of activity or sport will help you lose weight(if you don't go crazy about tryna lose weight)....just have fun and do fun stuff, then u will be on the road to weight loss :)

*I need 2 write a book on this stuff :D *

I think its 8 oz which isn't much

[DEATHGOD1]

when i worked outside i easily drank 2 gallons of water :eek:

[Elehayym]

well when u work out u have to drink a lot of water to make up for that lost in sweat, but i've heard that u should take other stuff as well since u lose things like sodium content as well in sweat and some other things, er, not sure anymore =/

[WhiteTiger05]

[Elehayym]

I think i heard that from a Gatorade commercial...*they really make water seem useless :p *
really? i think i read that somewhere lol, maybe
anyways, but it is true that u lose other things in sweat, but i think it's better just to eat a meal to make up for it :p

[Travis]

I think i heard that from a Gatorade commercial...*they really make water seem useless :p *
yeah, i think i read somewhere or heard somewhere that you don't need stuff like gatorade or powerade unless you're a serious athlete. water works just as well as gatorade if you are moderately active.


really? i think i read that somewhere lol, maybe
anyways, but it is true that u lose other things in sweat, but i think it's better just to eat a meal to make up for it :p
yeah eating a good meal after working out is good :)

[jewlreya]

I read on some book and it says that even when we are drinking water whenever we feel thristy, we are still losing more than 50% of the water from our body.

[WhiteTiger05]

....Our bodies are just really weird. Thats the best way, and only way I can say it.
*so many diets, techniques, exercises, meal plans, pills, correct times to work out, supplements, when to eat...etc.....its just too complicated* :confused:

[Travis]

I read on some book and it says that even when we are drinking water whenever we feel thristy, we are still losing more than 50% of the water from our body.
The thing about drinking water all the time is you have to go to the bathroom all the time too I think. I mean I do anyways. I have a small bladder I think.


....Our bodies are just really weird. Thats the best way, and only way I can say it.
*so many diets, techniques, exercises, meal plans, pills, correct times to work out, when to eat...etc.....its just too complicated*
a lot of it is garbage out there. Just a way to get you to shell out some money and see some results quickly and then after the set of time you gain all the weight back. its annoying how people do that kind of stuff. Oh and if you knew the stuff food companies put in food that is cheap and makes it last longer just so they can make more money, even if it really shouldn't go in your body and is unhealthy for you, you would be extremely pissed off. Why do you think so many people are fat these days? Its getting to the point where its going to be genetic and people are going to be born that way now. its sad.

[Elehayym]

I read on some book and it says that even when we are drinking water whenever we feel thristy, we are still losing more than 50% of the water from our body.
generally when u start feeling thirsty, your already dehydrated because the, umm, something in your brain, has cells and then when the body is dehydated the cells give up their water to the body and shrink and that's suppose to make u feel thirsty

[Travis]

yeah i read that too. so you are suppose to keep drinking even if you're not thirsty, right? :)

[Elehayym]

yeah i read that too. so you are suppose to keep drinking even if you're not thirsty, right? :)
yep, i learned it in bio class in high school, your suppose to, if possible, take small sips of water constantly, because if u take too much at once most of it will just leave your systerm faster, or something like that it think

Your metabolism will slow down as you get older, I was like 135 all through high school and then I gained a lot of weight around 18-19, I was like 165-170, but now I've lost weight from not eating enough and I'm like 155-160, I wish I wasn't so broke. :(

Some of you girls need to take me out and feed me :D :p

[Elehayym]

yeah everyone's metabolism slows down around there, and then gain a lot of weight, happened to some of my relatives, the ones that don't exercise ot play sports much.

and no, i have to feed myself, why would i feed anyone else? i need to find BXie to feed me, but havne't seen him in a while :(

[Rayl]

Well i'm in the process of dropping alot of unneeded weight. Here's what i'm doing.

No Breakfast. Which is normal for me anyway. I can't eat breakfast ^^;
Jog/Sprint a mile at least once a day.

Swimming. I try to do this as often as possible. It's helpful on so many levels.

Lunch. Lunch is purely to regain energy so i tend to go with either a toasted cheese sandwich or a jacket potato with cheese.

I also try going to the gym and doing a bit of sandbaging with rhythmic lower body movement.

Having an mp3 player is a must for me cause without it i don't think i'd be doing excercise ^^;

Dinner is usually tuna pasta or some fish meal. It's not too fatty and it gives out plenty of energy.

My current progress is that i've been doing this for about 4 days and i've dropped roughly 4 pounds.

[deathshinobi]

if your trying to lose weight you should eat breakfast to start your metabolism throughout the day, i eat like six times a day, do about a mile or two and my job i s physical labor and in the last month lost bout 10 pounds and stay away from FAST FOOD, if you do have to eat that dont get fries and instead os soda get lemonade or water

Listen to the phrase, "Eat more breakfast, eat an average amount for lunch, and eat less for dinner" If I'm not wrong, that was a chinese saying, and it couldnt be more true.

Why? Because by not eating breakfast, you will have to stuff yourself for lunch and dinner. There are other reasons to it, but missing breakfast = one of the fastest way to get fat.

[jewlreya]

I don't know I have to eat breakfast without it, I feel tired and lazy throughout the whole day and eat a lot of rubbish for lunch and dinner to make up for it which is bad.

[negativzero]

ok, i'll post my exercise routine here, so you people can refer to it.

Mon: Nothing
Tue: 7km run
Wed: 3km swim
Thur: Nothing
Fri: Badminton for 2 hours
Sat: Nothing
Sun: 12km run

if you do this, you can practically eat all the crap you want without feeling guilty.

[Annagen]

Yeah, breakfast is definatly the most important meal. I can skip lunch and dinner if I only get something in then.

My method is just, 'eat less'. If that means only having half a sandwhich and a glass of milk for lunch, fine. Eat less, move around more. Not neccessarily going to the gym (I'm not eighteen, so I can't join a gym anyway), but just moving more during the day. Walking rather than taking the bus.

[jewlreya]

I walk like 4 bus stops distance daily. From my house to the bus stop tat heads towards the train station, then from the train station I have to walk one bus stop distance to school.

I never eat less. I believe I have to move more rather than starve myself but I tend to forget to eat cos I'm too busy with school stuffs and outside project.

[Travis]

yeah everyone's metabolism slows down around there, and then gain a lot of weight, happened to some of my relatives, the ones that don't exercise ot play sports much.

and no, i have to feed myself, why would i feed anyone else? i need to find BXie to feed me, but havne't seen him in a while :(
yeah but I'm not fat, and don't have a gut at all, my stomach is flat but my abs haven't popped out yet. I'm also stronger and stuff. So its not like its fat or anything.

And plus I gained about 25 percent weight, so I have like 25 percent more sexiness than before :D :p

And whats this about bx feeding you, I'll feed you anything you want anytime my ele-chan ;)

[jewlreya]

....I wonder what Travis is trying to do to my imoto....

[Kawaii]

[jewlreya]

Well..i guess i'm really in mood of killing people since someone else irritated me today.

*grab Crest*
*grins*

[Kawaii]

that doesn't sound good.. i feel sorry for crest..

bloodie: if i don't talk to ya again then i know that jewl-chan did something horrible to ya..

[Elehayym]

hehehe, neesan is scary sometimes
gah well i never knew you bloodcrest so i hope nothing too awful happens to you ^^

[okami]

I'm only 5.1 feet.... *cries*

Jewl: Yes, I will TOTALLY kill you if you say you're fat.

Bloodie: Say it. I dare you. You won't just get Jewl on your case. *takes out whip and smiles innocently*

[bloodcrest]

Hey! I didnt say I was fat! I'm innocent! O.O! I just said the 'U' word.. thats all! Not the fat word!! O.O!!!

[padlet]

4'11-5' ft and 120 lbs... T___T
i weigh more than all of you, hahaha

[jewlreya]

But you look so slim....I mean the pics of you in the post your pic thread is like so pretty and slim! I haven't have any good pics to post. Maybe I will try tml.. :p

I'm glad I didn't say I'm fat, I saw Okami's whip... -_-''

Crest, you are dead the next time I see/hear the U-word..

[Katsuki]

*hugs katsuki and then tickles her*

*dies laughing* ... really... I know someone who's like 5'2 and she's around 120 but she's not fat. Her bones are dense (she fell from a high place and didn't break squat while my sister fell from monkeybars and broke her arm) and she is quite toned. Muscle weighs more than fat ne? :D

[jewlreya]

Technically, yes. Muscles weigh more than fats. I don't know much about that. I think it has something to do with falling posture as well. Guess your sister is unlucky.

[bloodcrest]

Wow o.O I pity people with dense bones >.<

yeah, muscle does weigh more than fat..and it looks alot better than fat too...I think I might be worse...I broke my arm when my brother pushed me off the couch :D

[bloodcrest]

Eh? O.O *Takes out a saw and saws the window.. sneaks out of the window*

[pinkhime]

hmm..SOMETIMES weight doesn't realli prove a person's fatness...
[note:sometimes]

Opps..there is double window protection, try sawing it again, you will get electri-fried. :D

[Kawaii]

That's cos you forgot the cooking oil... Tsk.

*slathers chicken in oil*

*chicken sizzles*

:D :D

[jewlreya]

Cooking oil..lolx.

Well, my mom just told me that eating bananas in the morning help lose weight. I don't believe...seriously.

[yume]

Cooking oil..lolx.

Well, my mom just told me that eating bananas in the morning help lose weight. I don't believe...seriously.

errr....bananas?!
hmmm....i dunno if it will help or not
but for sure APPLES DO!!!!:D

and um...what's with this cooking oil thingy?! :confused:

[bloodcrest]

my my.. jewl-chan.. u're soo mean.. :D..
i feel sorry for bloodie.. but he must learn his lesson now... not to say the "F or the U" word..

F word? o.O I know not the U word.. ._.

Bananas? Apples? Fruits do help you lose weight ._.

[Elehayym]

there are different kinds of cooking oil, some are more fattening and some are healthier for you. i think olive oil is supposed to be really good but i don't like the taste that much in my cooking so i usually use vegetable oil

fruits are healthy, and snacking on them is definitely better than eating junk so that would help lose weight i guess, logically it makes sense =/

[jewlreya]

Yes, once my mom's doctor said she is overweight. Although she looks like she weighted around 50kg or less, she is really fat. >.<

SO the doctor told her to start exercising and watch her diet, recommending her to use fruits to replace her breakfast. So she started with eating 1 apple. After that, she is still hungry, and ate another apple. That is 2 apples altogether but she is still hungry so she ate another orange - cos she finished the apples. BUT she is still hungry...in the end she cooked noodles for breakfast and complained how silly it is to go on diet. My dad was teasing her that she has to eat a watermelon to be full. LOL...

[bloodcrest]

LOL!!! Watermelon!

[jewlreya]

Yea, my mom has really big appetite. But she looks really thin.

We always teased her about it. Today morning, she ate like 18 bananas. I thought I could have one when I get home from school. But she finished it. >.< Monster mommy!

[Tifdevil666]

well 2 apples an orrange isnt enough for breakfast x_x geez

[jewlreya]

I think she ate 5 of a mix of apples and oranges before giving up. -_-''

[bloodcrest]

WOW! O.O!!! My mum cant even do that.

[Lanen]

Sit ups and walking......and removing pizza as a food category, hehe

[jewlreya]

I think not only pizza. All oily food should be eliminated.
>.<
I love chicken wings...

[DEATHGOD1]

wear ankle weights like i did to school for months at a time it really works :D in the winter when you really cant run outside.

[WhiteTiger05]

Sit ups and walking......and removing pizza as a food category, hehe
:eek: WTF?!? how dare u spread the lies about pizza :eek: .
Do not listen to her pplz. J/K......actually pizza might just be the worst thing for u...it makes ur skin really oily and greasy........but i still lurve it :D ....

chicken wings...
Now i'm getting very hungry :( ......I like the spicy chicken wings tho :D
*Why can't i stop talking about food.....i'm soo hungry. :mad: *

[jewlreya]

Yes...chicken wings. I love sushi too. Omg, this is supposed to be a slimming down thread topic but it seems that we are now on food. *kekekeke*

[WhiteTiger05]

Yes...chicken wings. I love sushi too. Omg, this is supposed to be a slimming down thread topic but it seems that we are now on food. *kekekeke*
I knew it would happen sometime...*I guess because talking about good food is much more better than talking about running a mile in the morning...or 100 sit-ups, and crazy diets....nope, not fun at all :( .......mmmm, sushi :D

[bloodcrest]

But sushi CAN help in slimming down...

[WhiteTiger05]

O.o it can?!
*Goes off to the sushi bar in the student union.......will be back in 20 min....:p*

[bloodcrest]

..... Depends on the sort of sushi of course ._. ....

[WhiteTiger05]

O.o, aww man..... well, that sux *I kinda knew that, but i really want sushi*

[Soul Slayer]

Err sushi rice is loaded with sugar and vinegar...that's not exactly the healthiest thing to eat...ur better off just eating the sashimi (just fish) and limiting the amount of sushi rice u eat...

One bowl of sushi rice (with the added sugar/vinegar) is worth nearly 2 bowls of normal steamed rice!

[jewlreya]

2 bowls!!!! OMG...what have I been stuffing myself with last month???

*look at self*
*shake head* No wonder...I guess I really need to exercise.

[bloodcrest]

.. o.O Well yeah.

But you can create 'healthier' forms of sushi ^^

I tried it once.. My mum - Mrs Healthy Universe - still didnt approve of it, though.

[jewlreya]

.. o.O Well yeah.

Isn't that good that your mom is healt concious. My mom feed me with all sort of things. Always forcing me to eat. I think she is determined to make me chubby. >.<

*dozing away*

[shihouin]

when your making sushi it depends if you want your food to be authentic or whether or not you just want it to look like sushi and taste good.
traditional sushi actually isn't the healthiest thing for you.
however, you can cut out some parts of it.

Rice: just cook rice and put some vinegar in (vinegar is supposed to be good for you, I think)
fillings: stay away from stuff like eggs and other calorie heavy foods. I'd say just get some lean fish (steamed, but please not fried, tempura+sushi=unhealthiness). I usually use some leftover steamed fish to make the sushi. non-meats like carrots or celery are good, use lots and lots of them.
Nori: now just wrap and cut. Hopefully a healthier version of sushi for everyone.

[jewlreya]

Impossible. I just can't survive eating only carrots.

I won't be surprised if I gained weight. Ate KFC and Fish & Co. just now. o_O

[WhiteTiger05]

*Gets ice pack for all the girls who smacked their head when they found out the horrors of sushi :p *
:confused: Carrots O__o, never!!
KFC = :D mmmmm.

[Tifdevil666]

kfc pwnz

one of my fav. food places >_<

[jewlreya]

Yes, KFC - chicken wings!!!!! Paradise... :p

[kokoninja]

Yeah, sashimi is much better than regular sushi.

Ah, losing weight: Drinking LOTS of water and doing a lot of walking. Just to shed fat.

To tone up: doing curl ups and jogging or running are really good. Whole body workout... tennis and swimming.
Swimming is the ultimate.

Swimmer bodies = hot

[Elehayym]

wow so glad i'm too cheap to have sushi while at school now >_>

lol swimmer bodies are hot ^__^

[jewlreya]

Yes, indeed. The guys would stare..>.<

[Tsuke]

Buy a High-Metabolism : D?

[okami]

o.O But girl swimmers are hot? o.O
Why wouldn't they be? o_O

[bloodcrest]

I hate no idea o.O If you say guys, yeah, I can agree. But swimmer girls... o.O Maybe they arent my type o.O

[Soul Slayer]

LOL...I guess I broke alot of hearts when I revealed the truth about sushi rice! LOL...but don't forget...it still would beat eating McDonalds and KFC ppl!

Look...having junk once a week...even twice isn't going to kill you. Just stay well hydrated throughout the day and eat good breakfasts.

Breakfast is easy to do healthy. Toast with low sugar jams. Instant oatmeal (the low sugar versions) can be yummy. If you rather it cold make it the night before.

Trust me...eat a heavy breakfast...drink two glasses of 1% or 2% milk and you will be full enough to last to lunch where you won't need to stuff yourself.

[jewlreya]

*gasps* I have been eating everything in the wrong way!!!!

-look at self- No wonders...now I know where all my money went...

I ate lots of junk already although it's only Tuesday..

[WhiteTiger05]

Junk food is good & tasty :D
*I have no regrets.....eats cookie, ^^*

[Kikintae]

Me neither! Junk foods are great! I can't help myself...*grabs a bag of hot cheetos*

*looks over thread*

Swimming can really killl you......x_x

[Soul Slayer]

Yea junk food is great...love the stuff...ice cream...mmmmm...ice cream...i can finish a whole gallon myself...

There was a time when i had a race with 2 guys to finish a tub of ice cream...the 1 quart sized ones...it was a race to the finish of brain freeze...

*ahem*

Just don't forget to binge in moderation! :P

[Tifdevil666]

LOL...I guess I broke alot of hearts when I revealed the truth about sushi rice! LOL...but don't forget...it still would beat eating McDonalds and KFC ppl!

meh ;/ that takes to long though lol <.< my breakfast is me getting up. quick eating a bowl of cereal, changing clothes. then leaving ;/

Trust me...eat a heavy breakfast...drink two glasses of 1% or 2% milk and you will be full enough to last to lunch where you won't need to stuff yourself.
its fun to stuff yourself D;

[Soul Slayer]

Well I can imagine Tifdevil66 is the devil and me the angel sitting on the average dieter's shoulders! LOL!

But seriously...I eat junk more tahn twice a week during school time but I'm also in the gym min once a week for an hour or so and playing soccer once a week. It doesn't take that much effort really. You'd be surprised how it all adds up over time.

[jewlreya]

I eat junk practically everyday, sweets, chips, soft drinks.. >.<

I just had KFC 2 days ago...it was so nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And on the same day, I had FIsh & Co... All fried food.. >.<

[okami]

[jewlreya]

You will get stretched marks if you lose weight too fast.

[bloodcrest]

o.O My personal record was.. 1.8 kg in 2 days o.O

[okami]

ah, my fastest is super slow.
6kg in 3 months.
i'm one of those people who just can't lose weight. meh.

[djinnjkr]

*joke on*
the best way to lose weight is salmonel
you eat up only a spoon of it
you lose 20 kg minimum in three day
*joke off*

don t do it off course it s a dangerous bacteria ^^' that is really a joke

swimming is the best way to lose weight
another things that help to lose weight morning jogging
but the results generally appear after a month ^^' (need to be patient)

[jewlreya]

Okami-chan, maybe you are just heavy bones? I look slim but somehow I'm heavier than those around my size. :p

There was once during bio-prac when my friend who weighed only 47kg was complaining about how heavy she was. So I suggested that she eat something that will help her lose weight. She was like, "You have some ways to lose weight?!!??" I was like, "yea, we have lots of that thing in school." She got excited and asked me what was it and I replied, "just grab some of it from the agar plate and eat the Escherichia coli - sure lose weight" (cos you will have stomachache if you by any chance get that bacteria into your body) The rest of the girls ended up laughing at her for believing me since I'm the joker around in class. O_o But the main motive of doing it was to tell her, she doesn't need to lose any weight.
