[Firefly]

Easy way or hard?? :D

Liposuction or stomach staple is the easy way but expensive and painful...and can be dangerous..:eek:

Another way is Exercise, diet....but then not many can maintain it...:( so...

Another way...Drinks, special foods...pills...etc but then you risk poisioning your liver...(remember the S'pore case?) ...:eek:

Don't temp me wif good food and TT anymore. Have to cut down. Till I lose a certain weight then only we can cont. to come out and whack more good food.

[PJS]

The thread started never came back yet huh?

Nowadays, there are damn a lot of those MLM health supplement distributors (hint: H********) trolling websites and fishing online for biz. MLM gone hitech, hehehe :D

Anyway, let them be if they don't spam our forum. Those who hv PM them pls let us know what they're trying to sell to confirm our suspicion..


kokomo, your new gym looks so veli veli the nice lah, and I also saw a lot of good looking ppl there, why don't u go workout yet? After a good workout, u can just pop by Old Town and have some terrific nasi lemak and TT mah... :D ;)

[mshealthy]

take lesser for dinner... take lower chalories of foods... and at least 20min exercise, 3 times a week.

Again end of July? So lucky..:o Hey Eve ar. Don't bother to exercise la. Just sweat it out over the weekend cleaning your house and washing car. If that's not enough, come over and let my doggie chase you. Think that's better than nothing at all. Perhaps later I might join Mafia at the gym. hehe..see how it goes :) Today I've had only one meal. Vietnamese dinner! It was delicious. Tomorrow I'm gonna do it again. Think I'm getting the hang of it, not feeling as hungry as I thought I would be having just one meal a day. If I get hungry in between, I might take some fruits and a cuppa milo.

Dancin'? Hmm..sounds like a neat idea. Let's see... :)

if u want to lose weight, do ur exercises and eat moderately. Best is if u do ur cardio on an empty stomach, becoz that's when ur body will be low on the stored energy(glycogen) in the muscles, so it will draw on the fat stored in the body to provide energy.

Then have a good breakfast, rest, and do some moderate weight lifting exercises to build muscles. Muscles are what burns calories, even when u are sitting around or sleeping. More muscle mass increases ur metabolism so u will burn more calories while maintaining a healthy intake. There a lot of theories behind all these fitness thingy i can't explain everything here... these are the basics, go check out some fitness sites to learn more ya.

eve & mon

Dieting is bad for weight control, and u can see from the fine example set by Oprah :D She is a yo-yo.

Why? u ask? Becoz dieting causes ur body to go into a so-called 'survival' mode. Not getting enough nutrition everyday will prompt ur body to defend itself. Once the body is not getting enuff nutrition/energy from ur daily food intake, it will start to lower it's metabolism. And how does the body do that? By reducing the muscle mass in ur body. Less muscle=lower metabolism, so the body will be able to survive on less calories per day. Not to mention 'cannibalizing' ur good muscle tissues for the much needed protein, enzymes and others good stuff for the other vital parts and organs.

Once u stop the dieting and increase ur food intake,(bound to happen 1 time or another, or when the body reduces it's metabolism until even ur diet creates excess calorie), ur body can't metabolise the calories like u used to, though ur appetite may be same or less than b4, the calories u ate can't be used up. So where does it all go to? Turned into fat to be stored away for other 'rainy days' lor.

The only way to lose weight is to create a natural deficit of calorie intake, and let the body slowly change over to the new more active lifestyle. Losing more than 1/2 kg a week is a sign that u r losing muscles, and as a woman, u already hv less of it than men, so u definitely won't want to lose anymore muscles :D Fat is what u r want to get rid of.

I gathered most of these info from a lot of reading and talking to fitness professionals, trying to practice it myself too. Please consult ur qualified personal trainer in a gym who will be able to explain to u in more detail(I hope it's the same things, hehe) :)

Hehe! I know PJS and thanks for the reminder. I have always told myself that diets are ridiculous and it zaps up my energy and it has always been so temporary. Eating has always been one of the great pleasures in my life and when I'm eating out, I totally enjoy myself without guilt. Therefore, I'm not actually dieting, just cutting my usual 2 meals a day to one. Have been under pressure lately due to practice/work etc..so it has been quite bearable for me to skip lunch or dinner and replace it with just fruits and hot drinks. I'm just too lazy to cook! Hehe..I'm also making some small changes in my daily diet to allow me to ease my way to a new healthy lifestyle.
Whoa...I really hope so.

:p

[Wangsa]

I lose 27kgs in 6months and before that i was 100kgs for last 10yrs and always had join pain due to weight that i carried. and the best is i maintain it till today for last 3yrs!

You guys can buzz me or email me, if you wan to understnd more how i did it i also have my own before and after photo.

But again there is no short cut.

[kokomo]

Thanks for the tips PJS .. hehe ...you sound like an expert in this field. haha ... yesterday I actually intended to skipped my breakfast then go workout straight but after so long didn't step into the gym to workout. Afraid I pengsan. Haha .. :o

Mon, you're more than welcome to join me in working out. hehe .. In fact was hoping more friends will join me in working out so that I will be more motivated. ;)

Eve, like mon says if you dowan to excercise then you can always come help me wash my car. I let you burn your calories by washing my car. haha .. ok? Set? :p

[mon]

Ya, PJS has been really helpful. Perhaps Wangsa could give us some tips here too. Post the tips here for everyone to read is better. What say you Wangsa?

Anyway mafia, I have booked Eve first for my doggies to chase and play with ok. Please beratur ya! I bet you, she will lose at least 1kg in 1/2 hour. Haha! And hey, lose the popcorns and soft gassy drinks when you go for your movie ok! Those stuff are fattening! :D

ps: I'm having pineapple tarts with coffee now. Yummmmyy...

[kokomo]

Hehe .. Eve, can do 2 jobs at the same time. While washing my car, she can take care of your dogs. Prolly that way, she'll work faster. ;)

Mon, I was just bout to think of popcorn & my soft drinks. :( I guess now, I'll have to set myself on a strict diet. But then those makan kaki will less 1 kaki already. Till am really fit then only I'll come out join you guys again. Must give you guys the new look of me. hehe ... Gimme 8 months ok?

[mon]

Cheh...8 months?? Aiyor mafia..you're not obese la. Please don't overdo the gym thing ya! Be like me, eat to the occasion but in moderation. But anyhow, I wish you success in losing some weight. When you feel lighter, you'll naturally feel better and more handsome. Hehe! :D

[kokomo]

I really hope so :o I finally can find time to workout & sweat out. Meantime, that's the only thing to keep me occupied besides being in the forum.

Was tryin' to take food moderately & break up my meals into few sessions. Cut down on teh-ais, taking only limau-ais kurang manis. Maybe my late nites also should cut down then I can look my age instead of 50 plus .. ?? :eek:

Mon, once I lose weight, you can have my before and after pics. Haha .. no need to take pics of my back already. But by that time, my back also got muscles .. you choose which part of my body muscle you wanna snap photo. hehe .. then do measurements with Julian. :D

[aRwEn]

Dancin'? Hmm..sounds like a neat idea. Let's see... :)


they hav lotsa dancin classez (latino mix/salsa, mtv, hiphop, line dancin, jazz, cardio dance, body jam, ballet fusion, etc) as most gymz....

it cn b quite fun n d motivatn iz there cuz in a class, kenot stop halfway wn dancin.... unlike on d threadmill, cyclez, stepz, o resistance weightz.... ;)

most o d time, i go 4 hiphop/body jam, jazz/cardio dance, o latino mix.... :)

[kokomo]

Arwen, you must be pretty hyper eh .. old fella like me, having knee problems cannot do so extreme. Have to take it easy'lah. :o

[lynndhia]

i agree with PJS that dieting is no way to lose weight.
you just gotta take the right balanced diet of food
not too much carbs, try to take more protein than carbs
and of cos the veggies lah
never ever skip meals

actually the south beach diet doesnt need a person to starve themself, but they emphasize more on the glycaemic index of a food...
it's actually the amount that it increases your blood sugar level

its pretty efficient
i have the book if anyone is interested
of cos it works with a sufficient amount of exercise :D

[evecyanide]

If all the usj.com makan kakis start going on a diet, then what's to become of the 'makan kaki' club lah? Left only with the skinny ones like KakiLang and kress :p

Mon. Thanks for the offer to have your dog chase me around but I can do that in my neighbourhood here :p Lots of stray dogs around.

Kokomo. Lazy to wash your own car, say lah.... Why don't you wash it yourself, then you also can lose a couple of kilos from there mah :D

[kokomo]

Waahhh ... lynn, you actually have books on health and diets ar? COOL MAN >> but books ain't for me ... phobia wif books! :eek:

Eh eve, u are the one said you wanna go on diet ...so am tryin' to help u speed up the process'ma. I don't need to wash car to lose few kilos .. hehe .. i go gym'la ... :p

[evecyanide]

Cheh. Better I open a car wash behind my house :p That way, I get to kill 2 birds with one stone. Lose weight and make money :D

[PJS]

Hahaha, Im not an expert in this field, still learning but of coz happy to share whatever knowledge I have with forum members. :)

And the correct way to diet is to eat more frequent small meals rather than skip all meals. Eating more meals means more chance to makan loh, just hv to be sensible 6 days out of 7 and take an off day once a week(but don't go overboard ok?) So don't hv to worry about no makan kakis. No matter how strict we try to control outselves, we still hv to enjoy some good food to balance it out.

working out for your fitness goals can be hard work, but likez arwenz sayz..."itz cnz b quitez funz workinz outz tooz" :D

Oops, do I start to soundz too mucz like arwen alredi? ..... Just kidding, sorry ar, arwen :p

[KakiLang]

Determination is the "key word" if u wanna lose weight.. :)

[kokomo]

Do you guys realise lately there are a lot of product for health & slimming .. esp those promoting water filter. Saying it can help a person to lose weight & stay healthy plus producing fast results within a month. :eek:

I think all these are craps'lor .. to my own opinion only.

[PJS]

Determination is the "key word" if u wanna lose weight.. :)

Yea, I may need help in that department. I'm very very determined to workout 3-4 times a week, at least 2 hrs each session. But the other half "determined" that my gym dues is better saved up in a bank. How lah, like dat? :o

[PJS]

Oh, and since when did the water filter salespeople get into the act? Drinking their filtered water can lose weight? They run out of gimmicks and ideas already ah? :D :D

Drinking tap water and not eating solid food also can lose weight what!

[KakiLang]

Yea, I may need help in that department. I'm very very determined to workout 3-4 times a week, at least 2 hrs each session. But the other half "determined" that my gym dues is better saved up in a bank. How lah, like dat? :o

How about bringing cardio exercise outdoor? Jog & do some workouts at some recreational parks? No need to pay membership fees, Its FOC.. :D

[Sasha]

Best way to lose weight.. eat out less. You dont know how much oil there is in your food. Once you reduce the comsumption of fats, reduce carbo a bit too.. and you will see a difference. Exercise in moderation too, otherwise when you stop... aieeeee.... major disaster!

You're so right ya. All those pills and drinks etc etc would be hazardous to health. Cheh..time to join a gym liao! Hehe...

Like all things, there is a life span to your heart. It is only good for so many beats, and when it stop, habis, story ends.....so, don't waste time on exercise. All things wear out eventually.

Cardiovascular exercise which speed up your heart might not make you live longer. Can you extend the life of a Vespa motorbike by stepping on the gas and outrace the traffic cops? If you really want to live longer, go take a nap.

:p

Hehe! I like naps and no exercise. But sweating it out cleaning my house daily and running around the house with my doggies are good enough. :p

[kokomo]

Mon, am waitin' for you to join gym. Hehehe ... do you think you can sustain yourself long enuff in the gym? Longer than cleaning dogs & internet surfing. Hehe ... we strive to lose weight ya. ;)

Kakilang, once my I regained my stamina I'll join you for outdoor jogging. Now still in the process of doing it. Hehe ... :o

Sasha, no wonder I don't get to see you meeting us for TT session. You're such a health conscious lady eh .. that's good! You must be pretty slim and curvy. :rolleyes:

PJS, is those marketing gimmicks from these company tryin' to convince the mind set of consumers thinkin' that drinkin' their water filtered water is healthy and can lose weight. Sheeeesshh .. these ppl forever conning around.

:p

Does this theory work for muscles too? Coz I hate cardios to be frank, but just like a Vespa, it's the mileage that kills the engine. But if u only have x number of miles to go, wouldn't u want mod it so it outruns the traffic cops all the time? hehehehe :D :D

[SunwayKid]

When you exercise a muscle, everyone knows it gets bigger.

So when you exercise on the OSIM I-Gallop, it is supposed to reward you with a much bigger posterior. Similarly, when you exercise your stomach muscles by doing sit-ups, wouldn't it make your stomach much bigger?!

As for modification on the Vespa, would you do anything to mess with your heart e.g. adding in a pacer or a bypass even? Pumping it faster might omit the need for a Viagra but it is not going to last. One only do that when the shelf life expiry date is over or near.

Next question............... :D :D

[evecyanide]

The i-Gallop looks so obscene lah... :p

[SunwayKid]

The i-Gallop looks so obscene lah... :p

Is that a question, statement or a fact?! :)

[KakiLang]

The i-Gallop looks so obscene lah... :p

u r very creative huh....u wanna "reposition" this i-Gallop for other usage? Nauti u...hehe.. :D :D

[kokomo]

That i-Gallop thing is like massaging your butt more than anything else. So how can it helps in anyway ar? Hehe .. furthermore, looks like those modern ppl tryin' to learn how to sit on a bull something like that. :rolleyes:

[evecyanide]

u r very creative huh....u wanna "reposition" this i-Gallop for other usage? Nauti u...hehe.. :D :D

Halo! You said it one ar.... I just said it looked obscene ;) Who knows maybe next time, they'll have i-rodeo... lol

[kakakcomot]

and u guys .. help me ere ..
how to loose some flabby area like tummy and butt ..
u know woman fav area ..
sometimes those areas only make us look out-of-shape..
aiyooo .. im damn hard wanna get rid out of these flabby-flabby thingy!!! :confused:

[kokomo]

Err .. kakakcomot, the only thing I can recommend you to reduce the flabby area is use clean wrap. Hehe .. wrap around those area and then you go workout for like half an hour? After that quickly remove those clean wrap around it .. you can see those layer of oil and sweat sticking to it. Really wonderful.

Bet those slimming centre are using the same trick as well which cost your clean wrap only how much? Say RM10? But you pay for at least thousands for them to do it for you. You go gym workout better. Got sauna & steambath extra sweat & oil somemore. :eek:

You should be able to see the effect in a months time. ;)

Good luck!

[evecyanide]

Kokomo. Really meh the cling wrap can help? I think it'll only help lose the water only lah...

[kokomo]

If your body is really flabby then cling wrap it plus workout, it should be able to tone up. Not only water but also oil from body. Hehe .. I got to know bout it when my sis went to Slimming Sanctuary .. they did this to her, wrap her around her body then put her in dunno what.

So I modify it here a bit. Wrap only what is necessary and needed to be wrap then pig it out. Sure can enter Ms M'sia after that. ;) Slim & shapy!

[PJS]

If u ask me how to remove the flabs and transform your body, other than going under the knife (liposuction), there is no easy way but to sweat it out!

Here's one of the amazing transformations that I've come across....

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/trans28.htm

Doesn't mean that it will work for everyone, and no, I don't subscribe to these body buidling mag or their methodologies .. that website's main objective is to sell supplements! :D :D

But there are some basic theories and rules in there about what works--exercise! u can see similar testimonies from those who went to a personal trainer in our local fitness centres, sooo.... use ur own judgement.

[kakakcomot]

thanx guys .. seriously my weight is 55 for 1.6m height .. but what i can see years now only those flabby area start growing.I know its my own fault i havent exsecise frequently nowadays .. hurmmm i have to get rid all of these thingy .. i wanna put on my old jeans ... hahahha

anyway kokomo, would u plz tell me where i can get those clean wrap and how much it cost? kinda interested to use it ..
i would love to go to gym but its a bit costly and dont hav frenz looo ... :sigh:

[kokomo]

Kakakcomot ... am currently working my butt out to put back my old pants so I don't have to give it away. Its really a waste.

Those cling wrap I think they special got it from factory that does it .. cos they use a lot and in bulk. But cling wrap can get it just bout any supermarket stores. How much, I won't exactly know the price, have to ask around those 'si lai' that goes to the groceries often. :D

Gym no friends? Hehe .. join Taipan True Fitness, then I'll be your friend. ;)

Another highlight here, True Fitness ... their counsellor a bit inexperience cos they're new. So I brought my friend over as the promo is still on for $0 joining fee but they said the joining fee is $500. :eek: So if we meet this sort of ppl, we need to tackle them back rather than just keep quiet. Buying power is with us not with them.

Slimming down is 70% of what u eat and 30% of what u do.

Eat less carb.
Do more cardio, until you sweat it out!!

[aRwEn]

ya, definitely agree wit d less carbo, more cardio bit.... hehe.... :D

[The Mama]

I have heard people saying that if you want to loose 1kg try not to eat rice for a week. I've tried that and I think it helps a bit. My problem was the pants I bought in October last year was not comfortable to wear anymore. Somehow my tummy kinda expanded. So what I did was to eat less but frequently and also skip the rice whenever I can, eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. And wallah, now I can fit in the pants again. The mian thing is to still eat but eat less and frequently and whenever you have the time do exercise a bit. This is applicable for those who still have their BMI under 25. The last time before I did all this my BMI was 24.9 now has lessen to 23.8 and I'm still working on it to reach at least a BMI of 22.

[kokomo]

Really good to hear that ... I still eat rice off and on ... cannot skip rice for a week, I'll freak out I guess. Haha ... but then workout does help, shape up your body weight will drop a bit .. pants will fit in, not a bad idea also this way. To others, I still looked errrr ... no diff .. but then ourselves we will feel good bout it. More confident also. :cool:

[evecyanide]

I always skip rice when I go on my diets. Up till yesterday, 10 days tak makan rice, reduce food intake and do a little exercise... managed to lose a few pounds lah. But for me, this never lasts.... go hometown one week... pile back all the punds... sigh... the life-cycle of my weight....

[JayChou]

Motivation is what gets you started, Habit is what keeps you going.

Eve, now you lose some pounds already, when you go back to your hometown, you can still maintain'ma just that when you eat, remember to exercise also'lor ... so that your skin and your muscles around you won't be too lose ... otherwise next time, you'll have lose skin.

Ya. Then I will look old, dry and wrinkly :p Where got people go back hometown exercise wan.... Normally, go back, eat and sleep only mah :D

[kokomo]

Hometown is a place where you used to be slim also what. You make it into a habit then of cos you'll have the time to excercise besides eating and sleeping. Where got shiok oneee .. everytime go back hometown and sleep.

[evecyanide]

Anyway, half the time I'll be in Redang so I'd be going snorkelling, swimming & berdrama at the beach. That's also some form of exercise rite? Though I'm not sure if that's gonna be enough exercise for a day or not.

[mon]

Enough Eve! :p More than enough. Wish I could join you frolicking in the deep seas...wow...heavenly.

Know what, I realized that when I get "really" busy, I tend to forget about eating. Not that it's healthy but it's bearable. Like yesterday, I had only one light meal but hot milos in between.

And is it true that sleeping makes us fatter..? Myth or truth I wonder. Would love to sleep more but just not enough time in a day to do my work. Nevertheless, I'm still "fat". Kinda fat la..

[kokomo]

Hehe ... eve, if you really swim n dive and snorkel then I guess it is good for you if not, just berdrama aje ... then that is also not bad .. by the time you come back, "chau tar" like charcoal hehe .. you get a tanned and healthy skin at least. :p

Hmmm ... all I know is, sleeping during day time I mean nap'lah .. do help ppl to put on some weight and some are lucky enough cos it won't have any effects on them. Like me, cannot'lah .. have to sleep moderately, get up early and work and work and work!!! :(

[evecyanide]

Kokomo. Now you no need to work yet what. So you just stay home, lepak and sleep lah! :D

Mon. Swimming in the sea. Heavenely leh? Gosh, I can't wait! 5 more days (..and counting!) And I really hope to get a tan this time. ;)

[kokomo]

Eve, how tan you get also won't be as tanned as me. I stay home still so dark! Haha .. eh, me not working also got a lot of things to do ok. Been cleaning hse over the weekend non-stop and cleaning my car non-stop even after the rain stop I cont. to polish my car again. Hehe .... freako eh .. !!!

I agree with you arwen. But then not many of us got such will power esp we have passion for good food, we go around for food explore. How'lah wanna stay slim? Impossible unless we do daily workout. Eat moderately.

Those sort of food / diet program are for those who only cautious bout their figures, looks, fats & etc ... eat more veges'lah .. less oil, less fat , more fibre.

[aRwEn]

;)

[kokomo]

Put it this way, less fattenin' food & more healthy food = less workout! :confused: :rolleyes:

If we balance healthy food & fattenin' food ... = balance workout! Why? Cos more healthy food for men, less strength to move about and work around. SO if cont. to workout, I think have to call ambulance for me. :eek: :o
