Re: how quickly do you gain or lose weight?
i gain 1-2 Kg's during vacation...
& lose the same amt as soon as college starts...
& then again lose abt 2 or so Kg's when i hv tests and exams..or too many assignmenst....in otehr words..a lot of work load...
my weight loss is basically due to tensions:(
Re: how quickly do you gain or lose weight?
oy vey, what a touchy topic! it takes me forever and lots of hardwork in the gym and tons of eating healthy before i lose weight. i lost around 7 pounds prior to my wedding after 3 months of working out (gah!) and then i lost another 3 pounds on my honeymoon from all the sightseeing/walking we did. and guess what? 3.5 months after the wedding, i feel like most, if not all, of it has come back! wahhhhh!
why is it so hard??? dammit.
so im back on my eating healthy program and though i have no time this month or december, what with christmas and eid coming up, hopefully in jan i'll be able to head back to the gym.
basically, i need to be very active in order to budget "the last 10 lbs" or forget it.
everyone needs to wish me luck! :)

Re: how quickly do you gain or lose weight?
one way to keep slim : drink a lot of water and when ever satiety for hunger hits, snack on peeled carrots or chilled yogurt. yoga really helps when you stretch and do yoga regularly.

Re: how quickly do you gain or lose weight?
yeah thats good advice in theory but when its -20 outside and you want comfort food, cold carrots and yogurt doesn't cut it :P
i find this extreme aversion to salad in the winter-- does anybody else feel that?
i prefer sandwiches on weight watcher's bread... put some tuna, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, and a wee bit of butter or light mayo, goood stuff!
even better is kabab's with timatar ki chutney! so yummy and if you make it yerself, you can control what goes in it.
Re: how quickly do you gain or lose weight?

Re: how quickly do you gain or lose weight?
brisk walk/run in the morning regularly for 20 minutes everyday, and make your meals regular in calories only what you are prescribed to have according to age, weight, height, exertion level and gender.
yoga in the evening for 1/2 hr.
you will see, that your metabolism will get better and you will tone up and trim down. :>

Re: how quickly do you gain or lose weight?
looking back i realized i lost a lot of weight in 05 and 06 as well... but even then I wasn't satisfied w myself...
I dont know how slow/fast is, i never really kept track of it but id say its on the slow side...
Re: how quickly do you gain or lose weight?
..forever and ever
i am tall..and healthy..not fat..but i guess thick..
the only part of my body tht i see change in(losing/gaining) fat is my face..
my face is round..so i know when i am tensed abt something my face just goes all down and sad
and when i am happy..my cheek bones(fat) pop out and i just look healthier
i gained weight after moving here from pak and now i feel like its a part of me..and i cant lose it..i really dont even want to..but i dont want to gain anymore fat

Re: how quickly do you gain or lose weight?
yoga..? breathing in and out?
Re: how quickly do you gain or lose weight?
gain very quickly, but lose really slowly. not that it doesn't go away, but i have to strictly watch my diet. no more icecreams and candy and soda. that sugary stuff goes bye bye.
Re: how quickly do you gain or lose weight?
you said it right, Khumar.
the sugary stuff does add on.
ice creams, cookies, chocolates, carrot helva, cakes, cream puffs,sheer maal, rogni-naan, and even meetha paratha. working it all off, will help. we need to balance in take of food with exertion.

Re: how quickly do you gain or lose weight?
.....abt 2 yrs back lost abt 24lbs...without even trying....now gained back abt 16 in abt a year..now all better...:D....most of the time its harder for me to loose weight and gain for the matter....I cannot diet or exercise like the prescribed way:D
Re: how quickly do you gain or lose weight?
God! I wish I was fat! It's so hard for me to gain weight! and for some reason I feel that it's harder to gain weight then to lose it...As you can change your eating habbits and go to the gym..you ll get some result (although my mother and sister greatly disagree)
BUt when it comes to putting weight on..You can eat anything in the world but it's not going to work unless your body feels like it!!
Any tips?
