I was being regular in going to the gym, but I've realised once you get used to it, sometimes you get lazy and don't go. In other words, I need motivation, sigh.

I do Cardio/And a bit of strength training. And it keeps me healthy. BUT, although Im not over the weight I should be, I'd still like to loose a few KGs. [Thats pounds for you guys]. I've tried controlling the diet bit in the past few months, and I eat fairly healthy now alhamdulilah. I only indulge once in a while, but my weight doesn't move. It doesn't go down and neither does it go up.

And I can't do the calorie counting thing, do I don't bother even trying.

Sal, [Or others] any tips? I read the how our body adapts to ours work-outs bit and I was thinking maybe that could be the case? I don't usually change my work-out much? [And how do you change it anyway?] Tips/suggestions would be nice.

Just because you're a professional fighter does not mean you cannot be a women.

Disgusting.

Speaking of the gym, aren't you the guy who spent years struggling and eating and lifting to get up to a whopping 185 lbs?

I haven't worked out in months. I'm so lazy.

At worst, I'd have to be second to last. Tubby.

Down to two small farms per day?

I'm trying to work my way up to the 20019820912 GABILLILLION farms you consume per snack. I have a feeling it may take me some time to get there.

Gabillillion isn't even a word. The cholesterol levels are starting to affect your brain activity!

1. If you had seen a pic of Gina and had not known she was an MMA fighter/American Gladiator would you still think of her as disgusting?

2. I think 185 lbs is damn good seeing as I have relatively low body fat along with speed, athleticism, and endurance. Aside from pro athletes; most people tipping the scales at over 200 lbs are pretty much nothing but fat tubs of lards who have terrible cardio and almost no athleticism. I honestly think I could beat down most of them in a one on one confrontation. Weighing 200-300 lbs don't mean a damn thing if your too lazy to work out or play sports; people like that could literally not last over a minute in an actual fight. Also take into account I still have a fast metabolism at age 19; in about 10 years or so if I keep working hard I def. think I can be athletic at 205-215 lbs.

3. I have to wonder about your physical credentials; sure you may weigh more than be, but would you be active enough to keep up with me in a full court basketball game, much less a wrestling match (probably one of the most physically enduring sports out there)

So yeah, anyway, let's get back to trying to encourage each other to be healthy.....
