I don't really see that big of change in my appetite. Maybe just a little. BUT I did sign back up with the gym so hopefully that will help as well. Will have 2 wait and see. I just don't understand how all the girls on here on sooo skinny and perfect looking. I want the secret.. ![]() ![]() Posted by: BigBoyToys on Feb. 24 2004,4:53 pm <00FFFF'>The ONLY way to diet is to eat less and EXCERCISE. All of these diet pills with their false claims are just making somebody rich. Just like that Atkins diet BS......WTF is up with that? That dude was HUGE! I consume a TON of carbs and a TON of Saturated Fat EVERY DAY and can't get over 190 lbs. (I'm 6'1").

If any? I can't run with my bad knee. I do walk on the treadmill. I like doing that. Posted by: BigBoyToys on Feb. 24 2004,9:35 pm <00FFFF'>Walking on a treadmill is cool, as long as ya keep in mind that you don't really even start burning off fat until after about a 1/2 hour of walking..... Posted by: Mrs big boy toys on Feb. 24 2004,10:00 pm <00FFFF'>I too started going back to the gym last week. I work out on the stair stepper or the tread mill for 40 minutes then do some weight lifting on the other machines. I have tried so many of those diet pills and they don't work. I eat less fat and I'm tring to eat better. I do have more energy and sleep better at night. Good luck Heather. Posted by: BigBoyToys on Feb. 24 2004,10:06 pm <00FFFF'>I excercise alot myself. Sleep in the chair, wakeup, walk over to the bed, sleep in the bed, wakeup, walk over to the chair, sleep in the chair, wakeup, walk to the bed ........... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Posted by: RVRGIRL on Feb. 24 2004,10:20 pm ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- <000080'>Yes, I like the stair stepper as well.

Posted by: JustMVG on Feb. 24 2004,11:03 pm Good luck to all of you trying to make it to your goal weight, it can be done, Mike VG Posted by: BigBoyToys on Feb. 25 2004,3:20 am <00FFFF'>Congrats! Yes, ANY DIet can work as long as there's plenty of excercise involved. I heard on the News the other night and they did a study at some college back east like Harvard or something, and said that the results between a Low Carb diet versus a Low Fat diet were about the same. I guess that the main thing is that if a person truely believes that a certain diet will help them, and they stick to it along with excercise, they will all work ![]() Posted by: BigBoyToys on Feb. 25 2004,3:23 am <00FFFF'>But you've got to hang in there strong and stick to it. The ones that don't make it on the diets are the ones that aren't committed to it enough.

I did that "Hollywood" diet once and lost 9 pounds...and kept it off, but only because I had gained 10 pounds over night and basically the fasting got me back down to my normal weight...as for loosing the additional 15 I'd like to...well I think it's just going to take less food, more exercise, and a longer amount of time then I'd like. ![]() Unfortunately I think I'll end up staying at the happy weight I am, because I'm not good at dieting or exercising ![]() Good Luck with your quest! ![]() ![]() Posted by: JustMVG on Feb. 25 2004,11:15 pm Posted by: catsmeow on Feb. 26 2004,6:15 pm <00FFFF'>RG if your looking for a diet pill that actually works today, forget about it. I've tried them all in the last year. They made Effedrine illegal or at least they are taking it off the shelves and that's what was in the diet pills that worked. It turns out that effedrine is the drug of choice for drug dealers to cut thier speed and crystal and coke with. So because of them we have to loose weight the old fashioned way... excercise and eating better. ![]() ![]() ![]() Posted by: gorillastyle on Feb. 26 2004,6:24 pm <810541'>I went on the atkins last year lost 50 # but it turned me into a drunk you can not have beer so I drank Crown Royal ![]() Posted by: Mrs big boy toys on Feb. 26 2004,7:19 pm ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- I too started going back to the gym last week.

Still work out 4-5 days a week and have just as much energy as I did when I was eating carbs everyday. You only do 2 weeks of absolutely no carbs and then you switch to only eating "good" carbs (no potatoes, beer or rice). I'm no southbeach salesman, but about 30 people have asked me how I lost the weight and they're all trying it. Bottom line like everyone else said is you need to burn more calories than you take in, but this is a nice in between solution where you can still eat, but you do lose some weight. Sorry for rambling, ![]() Posted by: RVRGIRL on Feb. 28 2004,8:34 am <000080'>Thank's everyone for all your info. NOW if I could just find someone 2 go 2 the gym with me. ![]() So does anyone belong 2 Havasu Fitness? end |
