  • Honestly... its more of a "no choice" situation that "motivation". You have to work, you have to eat, you have to clean...so you drag yourself out of bed and do it.

  • Dancing is a really creative way to work out. You're having fun so you don't notice the workout behind it. A friendly/social sport like tennis, is also a good way to exercise while having fun. My "creative" fun workout is SHOPPING!! I spend a few hours at the mall - doing A LOT of walking (in heels!) and only realize the…
  • I work out whenever I have an hour or 2 to spare. Sometimes its in the morning, sometimes the afternoon...but lately its been at about 10pm coz I'm fasting all day. Generally, I prefer working out in the morning. I take a shower right after & there's no lingering odor for the rest of the day.
  • Hmmmm......interesting, and really good to know. I didn't take all that into consideration before. Thanks for all the info guys!! (And gals) :wink:
  • You can get great abs just by doing sit-ups, crunches & jack-knives. That's all I've been doing for the abs region since Feb and I have extremely defined abs, almost a 6-pack now.

  • I exaggerated a little bit when I said "sudden" muscle gain. It didn't happen overnight, it was over a stretch of 3-4 months. I just thought it was a rather high number for muscle gain. I guess the real key to weight loss is in the diet. Thanks for the info & tips. I won't let these "meezly" extra lbs get me down ;)
  • LoL. Funny stuff!
  • hahaha... that's so hilarious. Lucky it was late at night!! I had a similar situation a long time ago... only it was daytime and I was wearing a skirt - And I was in a room FULL of students! I was walking to the front of the class & my skirt caught on a nail that was sticking out of one of the desks. I barely took 2 steps…

  • Yeah mango lassi is Delishhhh!!! :drinker: Indian food is great but ohh so unheallthy! Too much clarified butter & oil in most dishes.
  • I've been running....not jogging, full on running. its been about a month, the only difference I see are the sculptured calve muscles. I'm also starting to wonder if running makes a difference at all. I run 2 or 3 times a week for about 15-20mins - sometimes on the treadmill, when its too hot outside. Maybe you have to run…
  • Yeah this site is pretty cool so thanks Mike - no complaints here!
  • Yes, thats correct. Pregnant & breast-feeding mothers are exempt as they have to be healthy & well fed for the 'lil ones. As for the water, we definitely can't drink any or the fast is broken. Nothing is allowed to touch your lips once you start fasting. You can't even brush your teeth - total nothing. Polliesgirl...…

  • Sure... why not! I just joined so could use the motivation.
