Hi, im phils gf, i have hijacked his computer,
i have just had a baby, and i go to the gym 3 times a week, but alot of the stuff can be done at home, the truth to weight loss is to get your heart rate going, so run till u feel like throwin up, or cycle, and no joke, sex!
to tone up, get a exercise ball and put it against the wall behind your back and do squats, also sit ups on it is great, lie on your back and act like your pedeling a bike, binging the other elbow to meet the opposite knee............
i have done really well in 6 months i am in to a 10, on my way back to an 8 :)

Im in the army and most of our boxers lose weight by going on 'sweat runs' basically going for a run with lots of (or warm) clothes on which... you guessed it makes you sweat! After they come back from the run they don't drink for about an hour your body then thinks 'oh krap i have no water' so it starts to burn off the fat. Im not saying don't drink for a whole hour but 20mins can have an affect.

Hope this short suggestion helps...

this sounds all too familiar, my gf is a geordie lass(nothing to do with it though) size 10-12 and thinks she is fat, recently she got her tongue pierced and she lost lots of weight due to not eating and she wants to do this again well just not eating.

personally i think she is being stupid, she is gorjus and looks gorjus always but why can you never persuade them.

admittedly she has got a tiny tiny bit bigger since we have met but non the less she is as beatiful now as she was when i met her.


to conclude mate all you have to do is try to persuade her that she is perfect and not fat. keep her self-esstem high and if you really think it best suggest you exersise together. i took her to the gym with me and she loved it, i get to be down the gym and with my girl. top dolla.
i dont think size 12 is big tbh and if she really really wants to loose weight just support her. thats all you can do.

off topic but my girl is back saturday and it will be great to see her, she will prob moan that she is burt, they are never happy you just got to say the right think and make the right noises,

and between me and you saxo89, goordie lasses are FIT!!!! lol

if your missuss is one of these people who cant be arsed to exercise alot of the time then may i suggest : crazy fit power plates. check em out on ebay. these plates vibrate and count calories and body mass etc. someone i work with has some and she has lost shit loads of weight. im planning on getting some when i move in my house. apparantly 10 mins on these is like 20 minutes workout at the gym and really tone up all your muscles. not so good if your into keeping fit and running and the healthy side of things but apparantly they are hard work and are really good.

Despite what someone said on this thread, situps will not exactly tone the stomach. The body burns fat from all over your body when exercising, the amount that it burns from each part is down to genetics.

Would somebody who only does situps have a small stomach and everything else fat? Of course not.

Losing weight is simple. Burn more calories than you take in. If each day you burn more calories than you eat then you WILL lose weight. There's no magic to it just eat healthily and exercise. It's as easy as that.

Most people will quickly get bored with running on the treadmill every night so look into doing a sport or something like swimming.

Drinking the right amount of water will help you lose weight. If you're getting enough water into your body then it won't feel the need to store excess water. If you don't drink enough then the body will store water.

Don't believe anything of the cheap gimmicks that you see that will help you lose X pounds in X days. Waste of time and money.
