Weight loss challange!

[spiderz]

Lots of cardio work. The rowing , jogging is good. Forget about the weight, rather concentrate on getting fit. If your fit, you'll probably weight less, just remember muscle is heavier than fat.

Beer doesn't make you fat mate

Its the food that you eat while drinking beer that does. The body more readily stores nutrition as fat while under the influence of alch.

To add to Devill, while beer contains some calories on its own (not taking into account the snacks you consume while drinking!), wine is less fattening than beer for a given alcohol content.

Need to loose it by November, summer, new house has jacuzzi and pool = ladies

Try Week 1 today.
It takes under 12 minutes.

Remember to change their situps to stomach crunches.

If you like the program, you'll be done with week 10 in November.

xrapidx, I have P90X DVDs (two) with diet documents etc. If you want, let me know.
The exercises in there are bloody extreme, in the sense that it tests your endurance. It's really good and would recommend you give it a try.

Currently, my endurance is zilch. My heart rate is between 170-185 for a good 80% of the rowing, cycling and jogging - stupid machine keeps saying heart rate critical

Where can you get one of those door pull up things that don't require drilling holes in the wall, never seen them in SA (as per wiki pic).

Pretty extreme stuff.

Yup, you have to get fit, before you start a fitness program.

I never mix my beer with food :/ Beer must do something alone?

Does beer really make you fat? If I ate a low fat diet or was a vegan and drank pints every day would I get a beer belly?

F Gillies, London, England
•Reputable research has suggested that it is the quality and quantity of food eaten after the beer consumption which results in the beer belly. Beer does not contain fat, but it has bulk, which stretches the stomach lining, and it contains sugar

John Cammish, London
•The local loading of all that beer stretches the stomach muscles giving the characteristic 'beer belly' shape; irrespective of its load of calories.

Peter Brooke, By Kinmuck Scotland
•Beer alone would not make you fat unless you drank gallons of it. Three pints of beer are roughly the same calories as one bar of Chocolate!

Jim McDonnell, Chorley Lancs

Remember alch can stay in your body for up to 24 hours IIRC... So that babelas food you cram in is also going straight foor the extra flab.

To add to Devill, while beer contains some calories on its own (not taking into account the snacks you consume while drinking!), wine is less fattening than beer for a given alcohol content.

No. That is a lie Because we don't really drink 5% wines nor 15-20% beers

Read here : http://www.britishcouncil.org/china-aboutuk-trenduk-beer_and_wine.htm

and

http://nutrition.suite101.com/article.cfm/is_beer_more_fattening_than_wine

Per ml beer on average contains less calories than wine. But they even out because we drink less wine than beer.

But to be safe stick to whiskey

It's 13 videos. There were about 4 DVDs. I downloaded them and converted them to XviD.

So here you have people posting in here saying what to do to lose weight which is cool. But then you have the crowd how stroll in here saying how they keep theweight off.

The funny thing is, why would people who have no weight issues been reding this tread so religiously?

Xrapidx.

Yeh - I've lost 15kg before very quickly when I was into the whole body building thing... but then I was extremely fit and healthy, so it was easy. Jogging 10km was easy.

Now its not so easy anymore, being unfit is not something I want to do again went from a 32-33" waist to a 40-42" waist - time to loose 10".

Girlfriend saw some pictures taken when I was fit and healthy and etc... she didn't believe it was me until she recognized a couple of scars

No offence but depends on whether you just want to lose weight or drop your body fat. Resistance training has been shown to be a more efficient way of burning off the fat than cardio work. Nothing wrong with including cardio inbetween weight workouts to get the fitness up.

What goes in your pie hole though is the most important consideration
