I'm a very laid back person, completely lazy with myself. I don't feel like taking walks or riding my bicycle because I'm alone when I do that. The only way I want to exercise is if I had a buddy to go with.. no one is available though. And the only thing I have at home are dumbells to lift, and my mother has a small gym area where she works with machines like treadmills and other things for muscles.

But maybe I should just try to take walks/ride my bike by myself? I'm really lazy with that though.
Is there another way/another exercise that I can do inside the house that will get my heart beating and going, make me breathe a little hard?

I need to get my heart pumping and going every day now because I eat a lot/don't exercise and then my doctor tells me I should really start exercising... this medicine im taking is a smaller dose than the medicine I have to get now, that's a higher dose... (For kidney) but still...

I need some motivation to exercising so I can really start doing this everyday..
If this matters, I'm 204 pounds, male, 24 years old, 5'4 inches. (link)
From the infomation that you've given, I'd (personally) use the treadmill as the main thing. If you get bored or such, bring in a radio, or your ipod or evenn put the tv there something and you'll find that 1/2 an hour will go fairly quickly


So my current boyfriend is the best boyfriend I have ever had. He treats me like I am his princess and I could never ask for anyone better. but because my ex boyfriend treated me so badly i.e. cheated on me many times, hit me once, made me feel worthless and that no one wants me and just horrible things that i've gotten over and feel better about myself because i know he just did all that to manipulate me to keep me with him. and that's why i kept going back to him, because he was so good at manipulating me. and we've been broken up for a while and i have my new amazing boyfriend that my best friend set me up with. but just because of that past relationship. i'm just a little on edge that it will happen again. i am able to hold it in and think about it most of the time and talk about it if i really think its something to worry about, but he still talks to his ex girlfriends who he was both with for 2 years each. its nothing inappropriate but just from past experience it gets me worried. i just really need advice (link)
Talk to him. Open up about what happened with your ex (if you havent already). This will make him understand why you dont like him talking to his ex, or other girls. Explain that its nothing he's done that causes you to distrust/worry, but that you cant get the past out of your mind.


Hi, I'm 20 and my boyfriend has a sex drive so much higher than mine. He really tries to retain himself and I appreciate it loads and I try to convince myself to be in the mood but in all honesty I very rarely think "I need sex." -In fact I never think that.

I mean, I enjoy sex when it's happening but I can't seem to get myself ready, maybe because it always hurts me at the start (I'm not a virgin and we have done plenty of foreplay but it always seems to have a bit of a sting regardless, after a few seconds it feels much better though). I don't want this to ruin my relationship as I love him greatly so is there anyway I can increase my sex drive for him? so I'm ready whenever he is??

My gf said its uncomfortable if I go in too quickly, or before her parts have had time to 'get ready'. We found that just increasing the foreplay helped. Me giving her oral was a huge help.


hi, we have been together for a 3 and half years now. we love each other and we live together. he's a single father and he has a kid with his ex girlfriend. it's just that sometimes when i hint him to buying me a ring or does he see me marrying me in the future he always replies by saying, ''u never know'' or he just changes the subject with a smile, which i don't understand. i'm thinking now, he's not that serious about me even though he says he loves me and sees us in the future. so, guys if a guys changes a subject, what exactly does he thinking? thanks (link)
Dont worry about it, there could be any number of innocent reasons.

Maybe he's just a bit scared because he said it to his ex and then things didnt work out.
He wants things to work with you so he's making the effort to move slower this time - having the kid might've been too big a step last time.

Maybe he's already bought a ring, or is actually looking for one, this would also explain his behaviour. If I had just bought or planning to propose, I'd certainly say "u never know" with a small smile.

He says he loves you, that he sees you together in the future? I wouldnt say that if I didnt mean it. I'd say that the most likely reason is that he's a bit nervous, so he changes the subject and gives you a smile or a kinda 'mysterious' reply to let you know that its what he wants, but he's just not ready to talk yet.

You could try asking different questions, that could indicate the same thing, be a bit more circular.


how do i lose weight ?
(link)
Firstly, you have to realise that it will NOT be easy.

You need to be very self disciplined.

You need to change your lifestyle: changing one thing just wont cut it. You want to loose weight, and you don't want it to come back right? If that is the case, then you need to realise that there is no quick way that will loose weight, and then keep it off.

There are two things that you need to do, every single day, *without* exception.

1) be strict on your diet.
2) get in daily excercise

do one with out the other, and you'll find things soo much harder.

Strict on your diet does NOT mean that you get 0 sweets a week, and eat salad 3 meals a day. Set your self some ground rules about you diet and STICK TO THEM NO MATTER WHAT. For example: before I tried to loose weight, I would eat out 2 meals a day at cafes, restaurants, fast food etc. I'd have chocolate every day, etc. When I decided I wanted to get healthy, I said I'd only have 2 meals a WEEK out (if one of them was a salad for lunch at work, then too bad), and one chocolate thing a week (among other things). I tell you now, it was HARD. But I stuck to it. And it worked.

Excercise is sort of easier, while the weather is good! I went for a 30min walk (then run when I could) morning and evening 6 days a week.

I marked out Sunday as my reward day. I'd get to sleep in, not go for a walk, I'd also take my wife out to dinner every sudnay (as one of my 2 meals) and usually have desert (my chocolate thing). I also set up a reward system: if I stuck to my goals, then on the last day of the month I would get a 'free' meal out + dessert.

Some people might say that it might undo all the hard work, but I disagree. Loosing weight is a lifestyle change, but at the same time, you need to reward good behaviour. This might sound silly, but when you train your puppy to do tricks, you use positive reinforcment: if it does the trick you give it a treat, if not, no treat (but you dont growl at it either).

If you're diciplened enough, this will work, and you'll keep the weight off.
