You can never lose weight by onle exercising or only dieting. You have to reduce ur intake of fat and burn the ones u already have. So deiting has to be coupled with exercise( not necessarily heavy but some exercise). Also eating fruits once a day instead of a meal really helps!!!

yshimy you are not huge! Don't be silly. Everyone seems to put on a little weight here with long work hours at the computer desk etc. If you make time for some sports and the gym you'll be able to lose any excess weight that you want to. I don't mean to complain that I am getting bigger, but I prefer to stay at a stable weight, otherwise I have to buy new pants and skirts.

K, I find if I spend more hours working I tend to lose weight cause its less time I have to be out there enjoying food. Sitting at my desk and munching away doesn't help much either - it still sheds off... sigh.

That's good for me, because then you are lighter to carry!

Seriously though, some people do manage to lose weight here because of climate, work stress etc. I've just heard so many complain about weight gain because of a more sedentary lifestyle.

I don't accept the "sedentary lifestyle" arguement. We all make our own life style choices, its just a matter of priority. Its easy to be lazy or blame your surroundings (not directed at you.....just in general). But if exercising is important to you, you'll find time for it.

Completely agree with ^^^.

People tend to find blame in everything else other than the obvious.

Where we gonna walk in this heat, Phewwwwwwwwwww

Most definitely people need to find time to exercise, but I am sure it is an adjustment for someone who moves to Dubai and ends their work days at 8 or 9 pm. I don't blame people for feeling tired! They can find a way to adjust, like exercising earlier in the morning if they are too tired after work.

Agree with you.....like I said. Its just a matter of priorities.

Unfortunately, I can't be your walking partner, but I'm always happy to tell another silly joke.

Gave up walking when the automobile was invented
