Dieting, execise, our health (Page 3 of 4)

Keep it up big jeff - er you know what I mean right

It does get easier the more you do it I promise - for the first few months of Yoga I felt like someone was wringing me out like a dishcloth but now I just find it really relaxing and refreshing - when you learn to relax into the stretches they really energise you

My diet is coming on in leaps and bounds (now 10 stone 9 lbs - from starting weight of 11 stone 3lbs) - aiming for 9 stone something by Joe's shows in Manchester and Birmingham in November

(My other half is doing really well and is now 12 stone (down from 12 stone 13lbs) - he's aiming for 11 stone ultimately)

What I don't understand is that despite doing the same diet he loses like 2lbs per week when I only lose around 1lb - especially when i'm doing like 6 hours of excercise a week - go figure!

I do hatha yoga (see earlier in the thread) - we do a lot of the breathing excercises etc that are like step one on the path to enlightenment but don't go beyond that but as you have witnessed its really relaxing

If you've been invited i'd say go for it - its really worth doing

Its also great for core strength and if you want that six pack every little helps right

Yeah my brother, go for it.  There are several variations on the theme.  The one I do is mostly a healing/cleansing ritual set of postures in this 105F room, but all the studies I've done in the past come flooding back at various moments.  It's more of a class.

Reminds me a little of the sweat lodge except I'm the only brave in the room some days.

me likey mucho
plenty sweaty squaws

PU daddy, what's that smell?

The BADDEST EVILEST EXCERCISE EVER just got worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Shreddy

When I hit 9 stone something and can do this darn excercise without wobbling (that is on the ball (not my a$$)) maybe i'll you tube it so people can be inspired rather than have a laugh

Last few weeks have been a struggle trying to stick to the diet and exercise without the great weight loss seen at first. 39 pounds loss totaal as of this morning.

Yeah, my hats off to all of you!....keep on doing what you have been doing......I once heard a saying that kept me focused through out all that happened in my life since last Sept...."if you can do the same thing for 21 days in a row, it then becomes a habit".....I started with discontinuing my daily drinking....next was to watch everything I ate or drank....then I incorporated exercise....it worked for me, maybe thats not for everyone......I knew if I tried to change all at once, I'd fail miserably..."patience" is something that has taken me a lifetime to achieve, and I try and stay focused with the task at hand....then again, there are days that I wonder is it all worth it....my current goal is to avoid surgery, it's crazy....seems these doctors are all to happy to slice and dice....the angriest I get it, is when I park in the "handicap" parking at the store (I have a DMV disabled sign that hangs from my mirror)...and someone will look at me and say "doesnt look like theres anything wrong with you"....oh well, maybe they would like to walk in these shoes for a day...nuff of my rambling, I'll let this thread die out....time for another 21 days
