tech_guy Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I need to lose a stone in weight and keep it off. Any suggestions (liposuction is too expensive, I've checked).
strawberry Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 get a wii and dance around in front of it.
tech_guy Posted December 10, 2007 Author Posted December 10, 2007 Lol I've just bought one for my daughter for xmas - I think I'll be using it more than she will.... ;-)
elsiegee40 Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 get a wii and dance around in front of it. Near impossible to buy at the moment! How about an Easiteach dance mat? http://www.rm.com/Primary/Products/Product.asp?cref=PD827441 I'm sure it needs testing on a daily basis
tech_guy Posted December 10, 2007 Author Posted December 10, 2007 get a wii and dance around in front of it. Near impossible to buy at the moment! I got one at HMV last Thursday - £250 Bundle - any two games, 1gb SD Card, plus the console.
richard.thomas Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Next time you get a tech call out go for a jog and take the longest route to the classroom. Don't bother wearing a shirt; just wear a tracksuit with sweat bands... It's perfectly normal and no one will give you funny looks... honest.
rhyds Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I'm in the same boat, the plan is either to start hill walking with an MP3 player or to set up a media centre type-thing in the spare room with one of those home multigyms, bach while benchpressing sounds fun

elsiegee40 Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I got one at HMV last Thursday I'm sure you and your daughter will love it! I get plenty of exercise; our main building has loads of stairs. The server is on the 2nd floor, the ICT suite on the ground floor and my office on the 1st floor. Our site is on quite a steep hill and so moving between our buildings also gives me plenty of exercise! I lose the weight put on during holidays quite quickly once term begins!
Friez Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 If you're like me and hate the gym/actual excercise but LOVE video games then I recommend you play copious amounts of DDR, the game is addictive and it'll make you shed pounds like nobodies business if you play it often enough. If you feel like a prat stomping on arrows then theres always the gym I suppose...
Simcfc73 Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I found the easiest way was to split up with my partner. After the month of drowning my sorrows in alcohol I have started going to the gym most days to make myself feel better and eating alot less chocolate. Bit drastic but the weight is flying off.
strawberry Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Atkins diet i remember on a naff bbc3 comedy they had an atkins diet version of steak chips and peas, was 3 steaks on a plate!.

russdev Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Hi This thing i have been working on for past year (but illness stopped me doing a lot) but going to be starting again. Key here (so I am told as person who not known for being thin ) is that no point in just exercising it takes something like 60 minutes to burn 100 calories so key is that you must also eat more healthy way as well. Plenty of good sites for tracking calories and how much eaten vrs how much lost in exercise etc. What will say don't expect overnight results the extreme weight losing methods are not good for you at all. Good places to start are http://www.fitday.com/ & http://www.traineo.com/login. Also work out what how you want to exercise what ever it is it needs to be on regular basis so if a sport suggest joining a club or something else gym is good option. If going to go to the gym fine one that gives you intro session to create a workout plan. If want to do running then the couch to 5k is good plan (I was doing this before I fell of band wagon). Russell
Joanne Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I'm resorting to paying for a gym membership... but not actually going! Brown bread fills you up... eat that with soup for dinner. Cheap on pennies and calories. mmm chocolate
beeswax Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I recently started the alcohol diet. I lost three days last week.
Guest richard Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Plenty of sex is the best way to get fit...............
bossman Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 It has just been acknowledged that people who are between 3lbs and 2 stone overweight are more likely to live longer. This is according to some recent research : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4468001.stm Hope this makes you feel better about yourself
tazz Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Do weights! Muscle burns more calories than fat - the more muscle you have the more calories you burn, even when your not moving about!
Pottsey Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Take up a sport like horse riding. As a bonus you get to meet lots of ladies. I find there tends to be a high ratio of horse riders in schools. So you can arrange pub rides in the summer.

I do ride - we have two horses at the moment but as there are three of us (me, wifey & daughter) I tend to end up with mucking out the stables and clearing the paddocks rather than riding :-(
Rozzer Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I found the wii exercising to be quite good but then i let my girlfriend borrow the Wii and i am not getting it back til after christmas Not a good time to go without your main exercise for the day lol.
