^^ sis kaiz, i usually do cardio 30-45 mins.  then do the classes afterwards.  sometimes yong cardio, depende pa kung maaga ako sa gym or not.  pag walang class, i do weights.

[bruha_me]

i think this is already my 3rd week exercising every morning for 30mins but bakit hindi pa rin bumababa timbang ko? stil remains at 154lbs at 5'6. im still fat. but nafefeel ko na lumuluwang naman uniforms ko? but why cant i not see it in the scale? huhuhu.. i really need to lose 25lbs because i'm getting married this december!!!

[andylhen]

sis, measure your waist.. dun ka matutuwa.. usually kasi, hindi naman naglolose tayo ng weight.. yung fats kasi nagiging muscles lalo na sa exercise.. makikita mo na firm ang muscle mo kesa dati..

Eto, proven na, my aunt lost so much weight since enrolling in SureSlim.
To date, she has lost 12plus lbs in 2 weeks. Galing!
And to think slow yung metabolism nya since 56 na sya and she has thing liver thing.

but why cant i not see it in the scale?

scale is not the basis of getting healthy/trimming down/getting a nice figure. What is your exercise? does it include muscle  build up? It is possible that you're gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time. Other probable cause would be retaining water while weighing yourself.

If it's just really weight (i.e. water weight) you want to put off, drink plenty of water and diuretics, go to saunas and remove sodium intake. chances are, you'll be losing more than 3lbs in 2 days. Just take into consideration that it's not really fat you lost but water.

yung fats kasi nagiging muscles lalo na sa exercise..

fat does not turn into muscle. you lose fat and you gain muscle.

want to lose weight too. pajoin sa thread na 'to.

medyo nadedepress na ko kasi and bumaba na self-esteem ko. naiinsecure na ko sa mga girls nakakasalubong ko. tapos nakikita slim at nakakapagsuot ng gusto nila. while ako, lagi kong kailangan iconsider ang tummy and arms ko. i'm not fat actually. 112 lbs lang ako pero i want to become 103 lbs again before i started working night shift. super di comfortable at nahirapan ako magdamit.

nag-exercise ako nun march to end of may. naglose naman ako 2kgs lang. at hirap na hirap ako nun ha..kasi puyat na nga tapos exercise pa. kaya un natigil na din. plus, lagi lang akong nagugutom lalo. medyo matakaw din kasi talaga ko. hindi ko yan problem nun slim pa ko..pero ngayon prob ko na. my bf from korea sent me appetite suppressant...health drink naman sya na nabibili sa grocery dun kaya ok naman kesa sa slimming coffees from china. mag-exercise na din ako ulit. will post updates...

OT: nagulat ako. guy pala si qt_ben17.

There's an upcoming EXPO in Megamall next week Friday, 1-7pm, called the "The Right Approach to a Healthful Lifestyle" which will be held at Function Rooms A & B, Megatrade Hall, Building B and might be of interest to people in this thread.  They will teach the importance of a balanced diet in weight management and admission is free and each is entitled a complimentary pass to each of the activities where you get a free consultation from a nutritionist, a bio scan that measures your body's antioxidant level, a body fat analysis scan, BP test, product sampling and photo booth.  PM me your name and contact details so I can have you registered and contacted by an organizer.

Another thing with using weight as a measurement is to track it, PERO you have to check the trend instead of comparing the change to your most recent measurement.

Halimbawa, kung you eat right consistently, you exercise everyday, and you track your weight, and put it in graphical form for a period of 6 months, makikita mo na yung 'trend' nya is pababa naman.

Pero kung titingnan mo yung line pababa, sometimes it goes up a little then it goes down.

Ang mahalaga check the long-term trend kung pababa nga ba.

Also, check photos din on the net. Madami kayo makikita na same person, different weight, pero mas slim and lean tingnan yung heavier weight nya kesa sa lighter weight nya.

So buy a tape measure. If lumiliit naman yung circumference mo all over, dont fuss on the weighing scale too much.

mga sis pang 5th day ko na walang rice, tapos 30 mins exercise , nag bebelly dancing ako 3x a week , sa house lang, yung basic,na fi feel ko naman na nag lose ako, yung basis ko yung shirt na super sikip sakin ngayon medyo kumakasya na , sana ma panindigan ko din to

[kaiz]

^naiinggit lang ako sa mga nakakapag exercise ng 30 mins pataas.
anyway, for breakfast uminom lang ako ng meal replacement shake. sana talaga walang temptation mamya. ang hirap humindi sa pagkain kapag depressed

[phurple0515]

^ mas madali kasi ang effect ng weight loss if you do exercise

[xoxovintagexoxo]

Try replacing white rice with red rice mga sis super effective in controlling your appetite. Well at least for me. Mas matigas yung kanin ng red kesa white. Plus its healthier and is even called diet rice;) kumokonti talaga nacconsume kong rice kapag red rice. Sa sm supermarket ako bumibili nasa 150-180 for 2kgs..

[phurple0515]

^ mas effective pag brown rice sis

[xoxovintagexoxo]

^ sis i've tried brown rice already, the thing is yung brown rice may kakaiba syang taste to the point that sometimes it affects the taste ng food over-all esp kapag may sabaw yung ulam. plus, na-phobia ako yung nabili ko may kasamang uod!! as in! to think sa supermarket na yon, shempre you'd think na parang safer kapag dun kesa palengke (meron ba nun sa palengke hehe).

so i replaced brown with red rice, same texture sila w/o the nutty taste to it:) yes id describe the taste as somewhat nutty. tama ba yung term ko haha. so i get to enjoy my food pa rin.

I'd like to join this thread.

I've been wanting to lose weight ever since. I have almost tried everything from diet supplements and exercise. I lost a little compared to years back well that is due to stress, work stress to be exact Now, I exercise regularly. Run twice a week in Marikina Sports Complex. Do at least 10 burpies in the morning (this is very helpful!) and stopped drinking soda (for almost 3 months now)

All you need is focus, endurance and a lot of patience. Losing weight cannot happen  overnight. You really have to exert much effort.

I lost 5 lbs now, I just started first week of June.

[littlemisskitty]

Join din ako! I want to lose at least 30lbs before the year ends.

Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 167 lbs

I gained almost 20kgs after college. I will start lessening my food intake today and exercise too.
Hopefully maging successful ang attempt ko. 

I will post my weight loss after a month para surprise.

[phurple0515]

^^ it's because brown rice usually are unpolished kaya mas mataas ang fiber contents niya.  ayoko mg-red rice kasi napapadami kain ko since favorite rice ko yon, hehe.  Maybe you can try out some brown rice brands.  sanayan lang kasi yan pero it is still the best if you cannot leave without rice

[rae]

@xoxovintagexoxo, napansin ko din sa brown rice, mabilis sya mabukbok. Yung parang kuto-slash-ant ang itsura. We have 2 types of rice at home. Yung white rice, hindi binubukbok yung brown meron.

Pero I still prefer brown over white rice, ang tagal kasi nguyain ng brown rice e, in the end, onti ang nakakain ko.
