Ooooh!!! Thanks for sending.. Im gonna get into this.

Story of my life. I force myself to do a quick 30 mins at the gym 3 times a week. Hate every single second of it.

they say sex burns a thousand calories or something and is the best excerise if thats the case how come i cant get it at the gym lol

I actually begin to enjoy it after the first week of torture.. then you kinda get used toit ane even miss it when you skip it a day.

The gym is just so boring though

I'm not short enough to survive on that!

I've spent a lot of years and a lot of money to figure out exactly what I need in terms of fat/carb/protein ratio, calories, exercise, etc. I also don't for a second suggest to anyone that it's an easy thing to do. Becky isn't near ready to deal with it, which probably has a lot to do with her attitude, but I hope sometime soon she has a doctor who will talk to her straight about it, that she's very likely to die before she's 35 at the rate she's going.

LOL, thats exagerated.. youd have to be having sex for a ful hour and high impact levels to burn 1.000 calories And trust me girls dont like jack hammers!

I started off with swimming. Have been slacking off for the past while though so I might rejoin a gym with a swimming pool and some nice yoga and zumba classes.

Zumba is REALLY FUN btw

Oh for sure. When its warm I'll switch it up and go running instead. I'd still rather be doing 1000+ other things though with my time than working out lol

Im on 1.500 calories per day and I am 5 feet 11 inches.

think ive been meeting the wrong girls lol

I LOVE ZUMBA!!! I have all the videos and its sooo much fun!

HAHAHAHAHA :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

I need 1800. If I go below that, it kicks off starvation mode and nothing works right.

I agree it seems that Becky isn't ready, I lost a lot of weight in my 20's on the Atkins diet, but granted that doesn't work for everyone. Calorie counting is the easiest to follow imo and Becks obviously has some knowledge of it but it appears to be a bit hit and miss she said something about Pasta being 1500 calories but offered no connection to the actually weight of the pasta. 1500 calories on it's own means nothing it's about 350 per 100g IIRC.

As a 5ft 11 male I have operated on 1500 for a few weeks. My build would be fairly moderate though

I would have to get a dvd and it at home, I have no rhythm :laugh:

Atkins works so well!! I wish I could do it again at 100% mode.. its harder for me to go 0 carbs again.

Yeah, I do it at home.. In the gym I do kickboxing and Body Pump

Well, my numbers say that my body at rest burns approx 3.000 calories and in order to kickstart I put m yself on 1.500.. Lets see how that goes for now. I am female BTW.

Sorry BB12, we got carried away with our diet talk.

yeah I agree Atkins is total hell, but it does work lol I used to do Atkins AND run 5km two or three times a week in the gym :joker: It was hell but it worked I went from 85kg to 65kg over about 3 years

I'd be careful about dropping it so drastically in one go. May well put you into starvation mode.

btw may I ask how tall are you?

Best to stay away from white bread all together if your watching calories, wholemeal has a lot less in it.

I really hate whole meal bread though :(
