Oh, that's really cool, Sleepy, I would love to have you as my tutor !!! (The tutorial I have to take this semester is an awful waste of time, mainly because of the tutor :rolleyes:).Quote:

hehe, just stick in there and make sure you get good marks and I'm sure you'll be a tutor in no time :)
(don't laze around as much as me!)
Looks like it worked for you all the same :p.Quote:

OK here's my boast. I've been going to the gym three times per week for six weeks straight. Excercising for almost an hour each time. Doing cardio and some strength and stomach workouts. And since I was diagnosed with fatty liver, I've been eating smaller portions, minimizing alcohol and very few snacks. In six weeks I've lost 3 and a half pounds (1.6 kg). And I know it's even better than that. I've put on a bit of muscle, and muscle weighs like twice as much as fat. So not only have I lost weight, I've lost quite a bit of fat and replaced it with muscle. I can feel my pants are loose again!:thumbs_up
:thumbs_up Congratulations, Virgil! Nice work!
congrats Virg, keep it up! do you still go swimming, as well? i think you said somewhere you go the swimming pool twice/three times a week?Quote:

I was able to change my tire with out any male supervision too.
Banner week for moi!
Very good!! It's not easy to lose weight. Sugared drinks are bad for you. I read in a Nutrition newsletter than one should make it a rule not to absorb any calories from fluids. I guess that means water or diet drinks. (I do drink juice though.) We get enough from food.Quote:

Wow ! Congratulations, Virgil !!!
I read that post of yours this morning and told my mother (who's also trying to lose weight) that I knew someone who'd lost 1,6 kg in six weeks through excercising (and NOT by trying to live on, say, cabbage only...). She said she'll now take you as a model :D.
All right, the Ironman Contest starts in October ;).Quote:

And for those who have lost some weight (the weight they wanted to lose), congratulations! I, on the other hand, am looking forward to gain some more weight. I hope I succeed, but I just can't bring myself to eat energetic things. It's just the junk food which I mostly eat. :(
Thanks. But I must admit that my body has always reacted well to exercise. I don't know why, but I tend to get in shape faster than most. But I'm not there yet. I've been bad for around two years now, food, wine and couch potato, and it will probably require a full year to be where i want. I must say, I love going to the gym. In the past I've always exercised on my own with running and light weights i have at home. But having to go to a real gym that is only about a kilometer from home is great. I look forward to it. As to Ironman, FORGETABOUTIT, as we say in Brooklyn.Quote:
