papercut87 SG this thread is welcome to everyone who wants to lose weight and lack the motivation- so lets spur each other on! those who have advice can share it here. update yr progress alright? i'll start e ball rollin.. need to shed off a few kilos b4 i reach my desired weight... haha. have been gyming for the past 2 weeks abt 5 times a week.. ran treadmill, did light weights.. managed to tone up my thighs but didnt manage to lose any weight. probably cauz i love to eat so it balances out nicely. cheers!
killstyle SG eating and gym-ing makes u grow muscles and bigger in size papercut/ u wan to reduce size theres only 2 ways. and both must be together to see results fast 1.diet 2.Cardio- running,swimming and stairs climbing using a full pack
Hokkienguy SG i only jog aleast 3 to 4 per week .. 4-7km each time control diet... try to reduce carbo/starch intake.. drink more water. No coke/pepsi..etc.. no cocolate or sweet stuff
papercut87 SG hokkienguy: hm. no. not yet till my gyming pays off. thanks killstyle for the tip!.. will try to accomplish the diet part. damn tough
killstyle SG hi paper. hokkien is right. water + oxygen = fat burning this is what i read somewhere from an ex-navy seals website. u might want to take a look http://www.stewsmith.com/ this guy is an ex-NAVY SEALS Physical training instructor. now hes a PT Consultant. i find his tips solid. btw if u diet something like one meal per day and drinks gallons of water, 2 things will happen. 1. you rush to toilet very often 2.You tend to want to puke often as water is tasteless it takes peservance. and from what i see. running is best done in a hot afternoon. this is to build up your stamina. cheers
Hokkienguy SG if i were u .. i would burn some fats b4 hitting the gym.. but i dun gym now liao cos my arm n spine got injury.. so I jog.
kaobeikaobu SG i think discipline is the key. let's just say there's a plate of smooth and hot char kway teow and a bowl of celeries waiting for me 10km away from where i am nw and i have to jog to reach them, i wld immediately dash towards the plate of char kway teow.
bunny2002sg SG hiya ppl, juz wanna say that me trying to lose weight 2... me dunno if running in the afternoon would be gd, because alot of the weight u lose will be water...
^tamago^ SG papercut need to lose weights one? go join hegu at tekong for one week fieldcamp enough liao...
papercut87 SG jusgal, cny's such a long way.. i believe if you bring urself to do it, its possible.. jiayou i suggest u find out hw did u manage to put on the 6kg and work fr there.. i can tell you 100% its possible.. abt 1 or 2 yrs ago i was like overweight. resumed my eating habits just that i replaced my soft drinks n went for water instead.. went fer kickboxing n fell in love with the sport so when i free i like to kick and punch the air for fun .. cant say it was hard work or determination.. all the weight (or fats,whatever u call it haha..) just came off normally... i managed to shed 11kg in total.. i didnt even know until one fine day i tried this old skirt at home and it literally dropped.. like i said i didnt really put in alot of effort. just exercised more, drank more water and the results were like woah.. anyway i love exercising but i do have a problem with my appetite. haha.. argh i love fooood!
papercut87 SG ya initially you will lose water i think.. but after 20 mins i think the body will start burning fats or smth like that.. read from somewhere.. but the after 20 mins part is the most painful
Hokkienguy SG at start .. first 20 mins was like a hell to me... cos i dun exercise for years.. Now used to it... 45min - 1hr or 5km is nothing to me anymore
