Guest FourAces Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 One thing that I am sure helped me lose weight both times was I made it a point to walk just 15 minutes a night every night even in the rain. In fact the first time I lost the large amount of weight I actually enjoyed my nightly walks and would stretch them out to 30 minutes or more. It was for me a reasonable amount of exercise since prior the most walking I would do was to my car. Have others here who are or had been changing their eating habits used exercise to help reduce the weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lookin Posted October 12, 2010 Members Share Posted October 12, 2010 Definitely. I think your approach is the right one, and even a fifteen minute daily walk will start to reset your metabolism. The trick for me is doing something every day - or at least five times a week. It signals your body that times, they are a changin', and it's going to have to change too. It shouldn't take long for your body to get the message that its goal is no longer being a storehouse for extra calories, and that its new mission is to turn food into energy. As mentioned in the earlier thread, I think it's the permanent changes, however modest, that get the body to adjust its ways for good. I believe that burning a hundred extra calories a day gives a stronger message to your body than burning a thousand extra calories once a week. By the way, thanks for starting these threads, and thanks to OZ and TY for launching the forum. My GP gave me a challenge in May to lose a few more pounds. I've shed about half during the past couple of months, and the interest here is giving me the focus to drop the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zipperzone Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Most motivational speakers claim that for something to become a habit, one should do it without interruption for 14 days in a row. So two weeks of walking 15 minutes a day should ensure you do it habitually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, what do I do when I leave? Should I take one or two boys with me back to USA to make sure my habit sticks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
