Work It

I had tried many different ways to lose weight. None of which were very effective. Finally, a few months back, I tried calorie counting. That worked! I lost over 11 kgs.

I used to tell my family/friends that the more sleep you get, the better your chances of maintaining/losing weight. No one believed me. Well, I finally got them the proof!!

For those of you interested, or those bored, Click Here! It's a link to a calorie calculator for over 70 activities! Enjoy..

temetwir: mako gym in the UK???

yes, water is not fat.. heard that one before. i also measure my fat/water percentages! =)

not planning on ruining anything.. stopped my 'diet' more than 2 months ago, but have been doing well on my own. i've been maintaining this for about 4 months now so inshAllah it will continue.

So ... what i noticed from the calculator link .. is that u can burn a lot of calories doing absolutely nothing special ... if people stop being lazy they dun even need exercising.

Brush your teeth 3 times a day you lose 21 Cal

Make the bed properly and tidy up on ur room a bit which should take aroun 15 min u burn 18 Cal

Sex (moderate) 27 Cal

Sleeping for 6 hours 192.51 CAL (sleeping is more than sex .. yeah right .. they dunno some people like it all night long ... stupid calculator)

So yeah basically all daily house activities would help you lose that .. just stop being lazy
