reviving this thread!

 

a friend of mine said that i was getting fat.....HOW MANY HOURS/MINUTES OF RUNNING/JOGGING/ WALKING SHOULD I PUT IN EVERYDAY????!?!??! HOW DO I DO THAT WHEN I'M SO BUSY?!!?

 

ok...that's it

I'm trying to run every day, but first trying to fix my sleeping pattern first

sounds logical....as for me i go walking almost everyday and i've cut down on the amount of food i ate

Good luck :)

 

I try and hit the gym/pool at least 4 times in a week, and I am slowly getting better with the gym machines (managed 1.7km in 13 minutes at level 14/20 on a cross-trainer today, burnt over 230 cals).

 

Try and cut bread out of your food.

yeah, I've always had trouble cutting down on what I eat, portion control, etc. Especially cuz the Asian background can't keep me away from rice... damn carbs

thanks for the advice! but it'll be kinda hard for me to cut bread out coz my parents will freak if i cut that

yeah! i get what you mean!!! i've got an Asian background too and rice forms a major part of what i eat!

I don't know why, but this made me laugh. Am I a racist?

hi Brent! umm...well i'm not sure, i guess you have to search your own heart for the answer to that :confused:

 

but oh come on you must eat rice too?

lol no, you probably just thought it was funny.... :chinese:

i thought rice was healthy :uhoh: Since i started my diet i have lost 12 lbs woo!

^ I thought it was too :freak: I would assume it's healthy until you add butter / spice / cheese / etc.

 

EDIT: Even though I was relatively healthy and didn't need to, I decided that running regularly would be my New Year's resolution. I don't run extremely far or fast (usually 2 miles in 15ish minutes), but simply the act of getting up and moving everyday has done wonders for me--and it doesn't take a significant amount of time to do. I think as long as you do something other than sit around all day, you'll see some significant improvement. :)

thanks for the tip, I don't think I have the courage to go out everyday and run yet lol.

Rice is ok, but in portions, and if you eat it sparingly

Alex. THAT IS FREAKING FAST.

(granted, I can run nearly that fast if I attempt to, but still!)

I know, right. I've stopped eating big amounts of bread about two year ago and my parents still don't understand why I won't eat it when we have pasta for lunch. :facepalm: It's so hard to cut it out, though, especially if you're used to Italian cuisine and the like.

2 miles in 15 minutes is fantastic! I can't run to save my life and have never been taught how to run properly. Yes, I realise it sounds ridiculous but I'm not joking. :disappointed:

^i don´t know how to run properly either! when I run my classmates make fun of me and when i´m on the treadmill and let go of the handles to run my foot gets all ardtard and i almost fall

lol YES! I thought I was the only one! I always slam my foot on the ground when I'm running for some reason

They told me I should land on my toes first when running but I'm afraid I'll fall over if I do that. :lol:

 

Fitness fail. :disappointed:

 

 

 

Although I did manage to lose some fat on my belly this year. Hurrah!

^ Nice!

 

i can't run properly either. i always end up choking :P
