Patch Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I usually just go along with the target weight it suggests. Who decided on 9st 5lb? If it was Wii Fit, then maybe a) it's suggested a lower than normal target to jolt you into action. or b) it's possessed. or c) you've grown a foot since then.

Pakhangsari Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hey folk, I was trying crunches about 3 sets for 3 days only to end up with a sore backbone. So I tried some Yoga Asanas like Bhujangasana and also Surya Namaskara, though I have started to see effects! I will definitely recommend everyone over here to try out for a safe and steady weight loss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blender Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 my secret for weight loss is to emigrate to a differnt country that is not america. Asia is good rice and no dairy products and a hot sun that stops you feeling hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkatronics Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Im going to start going to the gym soon, already signed up. My iduction is on Wednesday. I think its a good idea to take a picture for before and after effects. People should post pictures here, so we can see their progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Woooooooooo lost 3lbs! ^____^ I'm now 18st 0.5 (GOD DAMN YOU HALF POUND!!!!) I'm gonna get one of the weightwatchers pedometers next week and get starting a walking routine. When I get to 16&1/2 stone i think I may join a gym! My goal weight at the mo is 13stone. That would take me down and around the 26 mark on my bmi. I think I'll see how it goes from there. I might end up being happy about my weight because I know my body is very decieving (i'm often told i'm not as heavy as the scales claim). If I was 10 stone (about 20 bmi - what the government reckons you should be) I think I'd look morbidly anoerexic, so they can stuff their bmi recommendations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Congrats Raining! I'm gonna get back into using Wii-Fit again tomorrow - I stopped just before the weekend when it annoyed me - will be interesting to see how much weight I put on during the meet weekend, I reckon the chinese meal will at least have helped meal for two? more like eight lol.

Goafer Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I'm gonna get one of the weightwatchers pedometers next week and get starting a walking routine. I can't think of pedometers without thinking of what someone (Coolness Bears?) said at the meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't weight yourself every few days you know, it doesn't work like that. You might go up and down a little during the week so you won't know how much you have lost until the full week is up, you should really do it every 2 weeks. Also if you are serious about losing weight, you need to do more than Wii Fit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caris Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Ah right, even still most of that post still applies about how often to weigh yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Ah right, even still most of that post still applies about how often to weigh yourself. I've already said all this but nevertheless; weighing daily is just for the purposes of keeping an eye on your progress and if something goes way outta hand then you can action it then, rather than not caring and letting it slide. (like i have done in the past and come back to the scales 6lbs on) But obviously your weight aint gonna be the same on a day to day basis.. water retention etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Well it's just that before the meet, Wii-Fit told me I'd lost 2lbs so I've boycotted it until tomorrow I wouldn't have been able to weigh myself over the weekend anyway so it matters not and I still ate pretty well over the weekend... so I wasn't giving up, just forgetting about the weighing for a few days in hope that when I weigh myself tomorrow it'll be up slightly again and I can start weighing daily once more and looking at what else I can do to up my weight a bit.

Fierce_LiNk Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Well done, Raininnnnng. War and Chaos: Enjoy the gym! I wish I did take before and after pictures, heh. I'm 6 or 7 weeks into it now, so dunno if it's worth it. Well, I'm knackered at the moment! Really into the swing of things with the gym, and on the whole I feel a lot fitter. I think I've got a good variation of exercises going on, and trying to work myself pretty hard. If anything, I'm probably going a bit too hard, heh. Got a routine as well at home where I do 3 sets of press-ups, 3 sets of abdominal crunches and 3 sets of reverse crunches daily. Need to work at this stomach fat.

S.C.G Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Loaded up Wii Fit today... another 4lbs lost... :/ I'm not gonna give up but it seems I'm gonna need to seriously think of more ways that I can put some weight on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.C.G Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 BMI is hardly useful It's useful as a guide at least but nothing more... all I know is that from mine it says I'm underweight which is correct and it's useful to know roughly how much I would need to put on to be considered a 'healthy' weight. With that said though it still pisses me off... *considers boycotting Wii Fit for a few days again* :p don't worry though, I won't... I'll keep using it, for now...

I mean it may be right for some people, but others its a load of crap. Your doing amazingly well, i assumed you were going to the gym. as theyve already said (and so did i) bmi isnt always accurate. I think my legs are filled with lead tbh Neh I'm not going to the gym at the mo, cant really. Yeah I'm not massively fit or anything (although I do walk quite a bit due to not having a car) but I'm not physcially able to do anything with my arthritis being so bad. When it was moderate, I could do 30 minutes in the gym at a push. Now I doubt I could do 10. Its really frustrating and I miss the days when (despite being unfit) I could push myself at the gym for an hour or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Does your arthritis come and go, or is pretty much constant now? It's a shame you can't go back to the gym and be excellent. My stomach fat is refusing to leave, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 That makes two of us hombre! lol. Haha, we suck. I think I seriously need to start doing a bit more work on my mid-section and abs, because it's the area that's pissing me off most. It just seems like the area that has never and will never tone up!

Ten10 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I've got a month until I go on holiday, and because my stomach is refusing to leave I'm refusing to fill it more than twice a day. Once in the morning once in the evening. But I think I need to take up jogging again. Much more effective than just weight training alone which is what I've been doing.

Little and often is far better than two larger meals spaced far apart. Your body will go into lockdown starvation mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten10 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'm just in it for the short term advantages really. I'm pretty much breaking all the rules I've ever had for training but I've experienced the short term effect before. And tend to supplement food with liquids so have relatively enough to last me throughout the day. I normally take an early lunch and don't feel the need to eat until around 6pm.
