Hopefully you are still an active member, since you last posted. Wake up each day, and realize YOU are the one to make it happen.

See below

May this day bring all that you desire, want, and will ever need.

My gift to you today is to have you realize that you have the intelligent capability within you to do anything you so desire and choose.

You are the MASTER of any environmental DISTASTER

Precision Tuned Masterpiece: (working with your environment)

1. Bring Heart by realizing you are a work of Art from the Start

2. Bring Power by Empowering your Willpower to be the Superpower

3. Bring Spirit by a Commit not to Quit and you will always be near it

4. Bring Confidence with Intense Defense of your environmental Offense

5. Bring Control by being on mental Patrol to Circumvent your Environment

6. Bring Strength by mental Apprehension and bring a new Dimension to self Invention

Result: Your Resilient Brilliance

Massage your Heart; it will never Depart and you will always remain a work of Art.

Pick up the "pieces" in life and manipulate the knowledge of diet and fitness let it work beside you when the "night comes" that you need it; it leaves nothing left to fear.

(Chillen)

Spend time on the things that you value.

Give your goals the attention they deserve. Live your life every day trusting the wisdom of your direction.

Knowing you can do it is a great first step to getting anything done.

The next, often tougher step, is turning the words of your wishes into a solid way to make it happen.

(Chillen)

You have to learn to MASTER yourself, to become the MASTER of Weight Loss or Weight Gain for YOURSELF.

(Chillen)

IMO, there is a "personal science" involved in what a person will tolerate and what they will not tolerate within their lifestyle when it concerns adding in diet and fitness.

I firmly believe in the "personal and individual science" of tracking calories and weight training data and governing this calorie intake and weight training data while watching bodily feedback; and, being able to use the tracking data correctly to manipulate your calorie intake v activity ratio to a personal goal benefit.

The science is learning yourself within the data and tweaking this to one's goal advantage

YOU WILL FEEL THE THUNDER WHEN YOU GET IT RIGHT!

An additional point on one's personal science:

What is ones "Personal Science"?

It is the LEVEL of personal implementation of diet and fitness into ones way of life that solicits a lifestyle change that applies "enough of the person" to achieve the goal they desire. This includes making difficult decisions and easy applied decisions.

It will knock your socks right off your feet, baby!

Best wishes to you my friend,

Chillen

no motivation whatsoever. and also need help to quit smoking. any ideas?

Yes, trade a bad habit for a good one. I used to get up with a cup of coffee and a half dozen or so cigarettes. When I get up now, the first thing I do is exercise. This takes the my mind off the butts. When I'm done exercising, I feel so much better, I don't want to have a smoke. I've been doing this for about 3 1/2 weeks now, getting very few cravings for cigarettes (not all gone, but much easier). The best part is that I'm losing weight while quitting smoking. Either one is usually a challenge (face it, I've never been successful with either one on its own before).

i dont think you should be doing HIIT every day. if you are doing it correctly, your body needs time to recover from such an intense workout or you would just be loosing muscle in the process and making yourself look LESS toned.

it seem like you already on the way to lose that weight you wish to lose, i'd say, if you wish to lose it faster, to add a diet perhaps or just really check what you're eating. If you think you're eating healthily then eat even more healthier. But other than that, just give it a little more time and you should see result. If you want it, you'll get it.

P.s.: If it's you on the picture, then let me say you really cute.

What role does exercise play in weight loss? Which sports really help you lose weight? Are there fitness clubs where overweight people can feel accepted and comfortable? Discuss these and other exercise-related concerns here.
