of losing the 'ugly belly fat that is impossible to shift with crunches....' etc ?
There is always these links telling you what not to do, and that everything you think you know is wrong, and promising you the golden secrets....but obviously they're trying to get some do$h of you for it.

Anyone ever pay up to see what the 'secret' is ?
I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    yeah, gimmicks I'm sure.
    I bought this magazine, the regime was almost impossible to follow, the food and workout routine was so strict and expensive, not to mention time consuming and exhausting :D Impossible almost, if you have to work for a living that is :rolleyes:

    The secret is to do some brisk running everyday while tensing your stomach the whole time, and lay off the carbs after 7pm

    you have a gut? So do I and I used to be so skinny!

    do you see this exercise ball (Danskin makes them) in the link below? I bought it b/c my chiropractor recommended it for my low back pain. After I bought it and read the HUGE sheet of different exercises, there's one for your waist (obliques?)
    http://www.spine-health.com/treatment/physical-therapy/exercise-ball-therapy-lower-back-pain-relief

    you could try that.

    or dancing. I'm telling you when I was younger and single and we went dancing 3x a week in the eighties, I was in way better shape.

    Exercise is good for you, but to rid yourself of body fat like that its all about the diet. There is a great book called EATING FOR LIFE by Bill... can't remember exactly, but I have it at home and I'll post agian. Its not like a text book, it contains meal plans. It will work for you. I know alot about the subject and this book encompasses basically every concept of doing it the natural way, which is the best way. It does require time and eating alot of food, but its not torture at all.

    you're asking for dietary tips... on a board comprised mainly of americans?

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I've read that being sliightly overweight will actually help you fight a cold, as the immune system uses that "reserve" as fuel to launch a counter-attack.

    People who moderate their weight and remain at a certain slenderness live longer. Much longer.

    no secret....just try to kill yourself slowly through exercise and food denial....
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I don't deny myself food bud, I just stopped deriving pleasure from stuffing too much of it into me, which is simply what most of us do.
    I still eat plenty, just the right things, and I feel great for it :cool:

    I should say denial of the sinful foods...

    Read "burn the fat feed the muscle" by Tom Venuto... there is no better and more thorough advice in existence to my understanding.

    If you'd watched Boyz in Da Hood you'd know it's drive-BY shootings. There is a subtle distinction. By the way, what is your obsession with the Simply Red guy? Is it redheads in general you have contempt for, or just the British versions of Michael Bolton? How ironic would that be living in Scotland? :D

    i know what i meant... comebackgirl (which is quite a saucy username thinking about it) said they have drive-thru everything in the US.. and as i know they have drive-by shootings i thought it'd be funny if they had drive-thru shootinsg to tie in with the whole 'drive-thru' theme of the conversation... keep up next time will you ;):p

    i love red headed women funnily enough.. i just loathe Dick Fucknall... its his hair, voice, wee fat face, his podgy belly and ruby on his tooth.

    Strap a bunch of bacon to yourself and then go for a hike deep into Glacier National Park. You will get all the exercise you want.

    You can't eliminate fat in one area. crunches will tone and strengthen the muscles underneath the fat, but unless you change your diet and over all activity, that fat will not go away.

    Probably? This is America and I'll be damned if anyone is going to tell me I can't drive through stores while shooting people. Stupid government. Stay out of my business!
