Another loose-wight question


Question Posted Monday April 10 2006, 1:11 pm

Hey, do you mind me asking another question?
I know I've asked about 3 questions these past days, but the whole loosing weight issue has become my only focus, you know.. the first thing I think about when I wake up, the last thing I think about before I go to sleep.
Now you say running EVERYDAY for 2 whole months won't help me get fit? And I'm not even overweight, just have a little extra-fat..but then how do all the actors lose all their spare-fat after a month or so after they've been pregnant, or had to gain weight for a movie-part. (?) Like I'm not questioning your knowledge or anything, I'm just wondering. Because it has come to the point where it's all I think about, and I'm obsessed, I'm failing classes and losing sleep.

Could you just tell me in specific numbers, exactly how many minutes/day would I have to run/walk to loose wight and become skinny, if I only have 60 days to do it?

I understand that I'm doing it for the wrong reasons, but still..I need to do this. I really do.

Please answer.
Thank you.

The absolute worst people to take advice or compare yourself to are actors- all I can say is FAKE. $$$ to afford the best trainers and food and the fact that meals are all prepared for them by 5 star healthy chefs. It's a whole lot different when you're on a budget and have to go through the whole process of making your own meals day in and day out. They are catered to so don't even give them a second thought.

You're thinking about it too much and thats going to be your downfall if you don't change it now. You can train too much you know and your body can only handle so much at a time. Pounding your body everyday with all of the stress of running coupled with a huge stress to prove something that really doesn't need to be proven just wears your body out. More is not better...More is just a waste of time.

and for the final time- YOU AREN'T GOING TO LOSE ANYTHING WITHOUT EATING RIGHT. ZERO. ZIP. NADA.

Cardio doesn't lose the weight- cardio metabolizes extra calories and helps to condition the body's systems.

The dreaded "D" word- DIET loses the weight through consistent and sensible intakes of the vital nutrients your body needs.

I can't stress to you how important your attitude is when you go after a goal in fitness. you have to keep the fun in it and if it doesn't happen for you in your selected time- don't whine and complain because its a totally solo effort and any success or failure you may face is totally your own doing.

You ask me to tell you exactly what to do everyday to become skinny in 60 days- Theres no possible way I could know that because we are all different and everyone has a different defintion of skinny. But I can give you my general recommendation but with a warning: If you continue to think the way you are now- then you are not going to achieve anything but disappointment and all of this effort and worry will be for absolutely nothing. Want to know what I honestly think? WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT WHAT HE THINKS- its your body and you are responsible for it. Why not try and work to not only make a better looking you, but a healthier you? Then you can enjoy all of the benefits and share it with a guy who can actually appreciate what you do.

So here it is:

Run 1 mile 3 times per week

On those 3 days do to failure (Till you cant squeeze another one out on every set):

Crunches
Push ups
Knee bends
Leg scissors

Very basic and to the point- combine with a great diet and a change in attitude and you will see results- now my definition of results is different from yours but your body is a complex thing and it takes a long time to make changes.
