do you want to lose water or Fat? think about it.

diet pills?

diet pills are never healthy and that's why doctors don't prescribe them. they work by increasing your heart rate. or body temperature which can lead to very dangerous situations or even death. at what cost do you want to lose weight. Just accept that there is no secret or magic pill that will take away having to eat healthy and exercise. the problem is that people try to eat healthy and exercise but dont have a clue how to do it correctly and properly. so they fail.

learn how to do thing the right way once and for all. get a meal plan from a certified health expert.

so the best way is to learn how to eat and exercise. it cannot be taught or summed up in a sentence.

its more complicated than counting calories.

no no no NO strict diet, you see i had a help form a Dr fro my diet she proscribed (told) me what i should eat (all the time, not just while i am loosing weight)...for starters i bet u have at list 2-3L of water in your body that u have to get out....but the trick is u have to get rid of the toxins in your body that r keeping water in, and you do that by drinking more water :) it took me 2 months to get out the water (3kg) - just reducing sodium intake ( modest cutback in salt) and after it was peace of cake... altogether 5months 15kg....good thing is u r into aerobics, cos running and jumping are made for losing weight, and of course don't forget the stepper and bike in the gym.....soooooo think positive and be patient

hey iguana, i agree with you and dr evil, proper diet and exerxise is the best, and it has worked for me too the last post pregnancy period, its just being a bit difficult the second time round, so wanted to see if i could jumo start the weight loss, ......i know its hoping for too much....with me i have to stick to a strict diet and exercise...its just a little frustrating when u dont see results.

how long did u take to lose the 15kg, and what kind of exercise did u do?i am into aerobics and strength training, so give me your feedback.

i was wondering where dr evil had wandered off to, nice to hear from you.

thanks butterfly, i think i shud try the water trick with her,she is a one little fuss queen and i agree with u, they know how to pull the tricks with tears, its just that when u are just asleep and they cry a storm, best is to feed them to pacify them.

so i need to change my tactics a bit, i guess

I'm not expert but I reckon at this age her nutricionial requirements should be covered during the day, she shouldn't need feeding at all during the nighttime...maybe she is just thirsty? Try giving her water everytime she wakes up.

Otherwise, horrible as it sounds, maybe you can just let her cry it out. 1 year babies know how to use crying not to only to communicate basic needs but just to get some attention. Perhaps if you ignore it for a couple of nights, she will learn that crying at night will not get her what she wants (your attention) and realise that nights are for sleeping.

hope it helps

Ive tried everything and I mean EVERYTHING but nothing works. Weight loss and Qatar dont go together!

Its a simple equation. What you eat - energy you consume = net fat gain/loss.

You either eat less or use up more energy. There is no magic potion, pill or diet. You have to make a lifestyle change. Small changes in lifestyle (substituting skimmed for full fat milk, avoiding fried food etc etc) will mean a gradual weight loss but its more likely to become permenant.

Other helpful hints include increasing muscle mass to increase metabolism and eating most of your calories early on in the day. No night binging.

thanks for the boost.

i asked u about kids, cos i have another problem, my baby girl is a year old, but she just does not sleep though the night even if she is fully fed.

she sleeps with me, but is figdety all through the night, even if i self feed her, she wont take it at one go, but just go off to sleep and then starts the cycle of waking up every hour.

so my sleep is totally jacked up,i go to sleep by 2am and am up by 9am.she does not even sleep early at night, even if i skip her evening nap, and put her early to bed at night, she will assume that as her evening nap and would be up by 11pm, and then she is dancing till 1 or 2 am.

any ideas how to solve this problem.

mine is almost 14 months old. Last winter it was easy to go for brisk walks...you know, sit her on her stroller and just push her and run up and down the corniche...she would be asleep within ten minutes. But now she insists in getting out of the pushchair and walking as well so is a little bit more difficult!.

Maybe the weith you put on during the second pregnancy takes a little bit longer to come off. Maybe you are holding onto some fat while you are still breastfeeding and it will come off once you wean your baby, I heard that happens often.

Anyways 3 kg in four months sounds fine,pregnancy weight always take longer to get rid of, just keep your diet and work outs and go for walks whenever you can and I'm sure you will slim down :)

i do feel good about myself, whatever i do is to boost my self image for myself a bit more and feel more happier.i had managed to lose the weight the first time round, but this time its taking a bit longer so at times feel dejected.

i was thinking of jumpstarting the loss by trying actrim but cant do it since i am still feeding my baby.

wow 2 hours is a good time to walk, i shud do that provided my husband agress to sit with the babies, thats the problem, not enough time.

i am disciplined with home workouts, quite obsessive infact,i have my own workout figured out, but no consistency cos i do it religiously for 3 weeks, then my kids are sick for a week during which they dont leave my side and by the end of 10days they have given the infection to me. so 2 weeks is lost recuperating and i need to start all over again. this has been going on for the past 4months, and i have managed only 3kg.

i too dont exercise for the figure factor, but for health as i need to, have a predisposition to diabetes and hypertension, saw both of it during my pregnancy, so its already a lifestyle change for me.

i should try 2 hour walk at corniche, i love walking there no matter what weather, have u tried walking briskly during winters, its crazy, but feels good at the end of it. i used to walk for 50mins when i cud take that time out.

do u have kids?

No works outs for me...find them really boring :(. I used to go to the Corniche everyday and walk fast for two hours. I have started doing it again as it gets cooler, not so much because I want to lose weight but because it makes me feel wonderful.

Wow, with two little ones no wonder you don't find the times to look after your diet. Maybe try not to skip meals, but instead doing big meals eat little things often just to speed up your metabolism?

Yup, I'm skinny now, I'm happiest with my body when I'm between 50 and 55 kg. I think curvier women and much sexier than skinnier ones so don't stress too much about losing weight as long as you are healthy and feel good about yourself.

how long walks?

other than dancing to mtv, any specific workout u used to do at home. my babies dont let me exercise at home properly.i am trying to lose 5kgs and its that adamant pregnancy weight.i managed to do it when my son was one, but now with 2 to handle, i am finding it difficult, although i am kept busy whole day.my diet has gone for a toss bcos, with the kids by the time its lunch its past 3 in the afternoon and i tend to skip it, now i am not hungry during lunch.

you said u want to get fat, are u skinny?

By butterfly• 6 Oct 2006 09:37

I haven't tried any pill and I would suggest you stay away from them, they either don't work or compromise your health.

I lost all my pregnancy weight by keeping active, going for long walks and doing excersise at home (particularly dancing to MTV!). I do not eat a lot because never had a big appetite and always get stomach pains if I over eat, but I eat pretty much what I want, just small quantities.

So that's my secret: Excersise and eat everything in small portions.

Now, I want to get fat. Has anyone any secrets for putting on weitht?
