Re: to lose the weighttt

I keep telling myself to go for runs, but hot damn, its hot. Maybe i should tommorow. I got to get off my ass, because i havent been too active lately.

go early in the morning or at dusk
that way you have less sun and if you do it in the morning its an awesome way to start. except you have to be good at being an early riser and have to be committed

Question:
For those of you who have lost alot of weight (say 10kgs - 15 kgs or more) has the skin stretched and stayed droopy or has it just gone back? It's hard to explain what i mean. I guess the easiest way to explain it would to say if someone you didnt know (who didnt know you had ever been larger) was shown your bare stomach could they tell you had lost weight by the skin??

I know pwople who lose a shitload (like 50kgs) need to have operations and stuff to get rid of excess skin. so yeah any answers?

Okay. Don't buy into the carbs = the devil thing that pretty much every diet pushes these days. You do need carbs but if you're wanting to lose weight, avoid them before exercising and try not to have too many refined carbs.

QFT.

Avoiding carbs isn't easy because carbs keep you full and satisfied. Eating wholemeal, whole grain and other fibre-rich carbs is a healthier and easier way to lose weight.

I like really grainy breads but for toasting, thick-slice white bread with crunchy crusts ftw.

I've lost about 14 or 15 kg in the last about 7 months, and my skin is completely normal. Not a sign of droppiness or stretched skin.. Though, it was over a fairly long period of time.

I think it depends on how fat you are to begin with and how much you eventually lose. I've seen so many episodes of plastic surgery shows where people who have lost tons (like 100 lbs+) need to get rid of all their excess skin, but only losing 10-15 kgs wouldn't.

if you're fairly young then your skin should still have enough elasticity in it that it doesnt appear overly stretched. it also depends on, as the others have said, how much weight was lost, over what period of time, and also what sort of excersise was done (eg. did they tone/gain a lot of muscle or not..that can help to make the skin's 'droopiness' less obvious/excessive)

Re: Are YOU trying to lose weight?

I was trained at Brent Street but it wasn't until I was actually employed as a dancer that the big time training kicked in.
But nearly everyone worked out every day when I was at Brent Street, to varying degrees.

Re: Are YOU trying to lose weight?

I don't know if I'm losing weight or not (in terms of numbers) because I don't own a proper scale and if I did, I'd be weighing myself every second. Instead, I base it on how my clothes fit and if my friends tell me that I'm losing weight (apparently I am), but that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm losing weight. I could just be losing fat and gaining muscle. I feel good now, because I've been consistently exercising for one and a half years and eating better (permanently), and I have amazing self control (haha sounds like I'm bragging).

Re: Are YOU trying to lose weight?

i agree, we've never had scales in our house - they've always been downstairs in our garage. But my dad bought another set, and he kept them in the bathroom, untill i told him i couldnt handle it.

I put them in the laundry because i started weighing myself about 30 times a day

It's probably good to exercise at least 5 or 6 out of the 7 days if you are attempting massive weight loss. This does not mean you have to attend the gym 5 or 6 days out of the week, but you should do some form of exercise for those days. In saying that, you do not have to go hard-core. Make sure you alternate your exercise regime. Say Monday you go to the gym and you spend an hour or so on the treadmill, riding the bike and doing the rowing thingy-majig. Then Tuesday step into an aerobics class, even Pilates, or do weights and sit-ups. Then Wednesday go back to the treadmilling, bike, etc etc.

You need rest days. Don't over-do it. 1-2 hours each session is plenty. Hey, even a 45 minute walk is great for you!
