I need to get healthy

[Lois B.]

my cardiologue told me that i dont need to exersie! (even if i want to i cant), he told me, what he does if he wants to lose some weight - he fasts for 5 days only water, i thought then that he is little nut!
but! i saw a documentary on the BBC2 dont remember the name or the name of the person that did this kind of documentary, but what he found that if you eat 2 days a week only 600 calories and the rest of the week the way you eat all the time. you lose weight rapidly and healthy and no need for exersise BECAUSE for more then 95% of the popolation exersice is not influencial at all!!!
i hope it is clear and no spelling mistakes, cheers and have a good time cheers

No worries, Becky..I always manage to understand you just fine !!

Lorchen! Congratulations! Way to go girl! Treat yourself to anything you like for all your accomplishments (Except chocolate etc.)
The idea of FQ's is great!

Lori - Thanks for the DVD recommendations! I may go soon to buy one. Just the name of 'Rocking Body...' hhmmmm....not there yet!

I think that's what Lorchens doing on the stairs. Well done Lorchen, 3 stone is an amazing achievement.

I run up the stairs at work. We're on the second floor so I spend the next 1/4 hr breathless and wheezing :roll: I'd rather do that than 3 days on water! no way I could do that and stay upright.

I heard about that programme Becky but I didn't see it. Maybe exercise won't help you lose weight but it will make you feel better and more energetic. At least that is what I have found. I just wish I could enjoy exercise more. I hate to give it the time - I would rather be quilting.

And taking the stairs, leaving the car parked (or at least taking a parking space farthest from the door), are great ways to incorporate a little exercise into daily life. Takes very little time, doesn't give muscle strains, and makes us feel better almost without noticing. About ten years ago before going on a hiking holiday in Ireland I spent the winter training by just using the stairs at work... Walking up and down four flights with binders, books, whatever numerous times a day gives quite a lot of training... And one gets quicker and less out of breath within a very short time.

Way to go lorchen :wink:

Way to go, Lorchen! But I think rewarding yourself with "fat" quarters sends the wrong message. That's why I think you should get the full yard/meter! :wink:

I am with you Rita. I feel so much better when I do it but I don't want to give it the time.
