I guess all are the same,it depends on the effort of every individual put every time they do workouts or exercise.bodybuildhttp://weightlossdietformen.wordpress.com/effective-rapid-weight-loss-diet-most-men-do/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344239496521274434.post-32624435643012378852009-05-01T13:29:00.000-07:002009-05-01T13:29:00.000-07:00This is interesting.

As a matter of fact I'm participating in a weight loss study now, and I'm actually keeping up with the guys in weight loss. And we all know men lose weight faster than women. <br /><br />It has never been difficult for me to lose weight when I actually try. My issue has always been not trying. Maybe it is because I have an athletic past? I don't know. This article is very interesting though. After 9 weeks in this program I have dropped 18 lbs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344239496521274434.post-6096119734426175522008-07-19T06:01:00.000-07:002008-07-19T06:01:00.000-07:00Oh my.

When we start to work out, our body clings to the weight with it's dear life, even if you do everything the way you're supposed to! <BR/>Though I'm far from overweight, I always see room for improvement. As I started back working out, it took me an entire month to lose 2 pounds, even though I'm a faithful gym goer who eats healthy.<BR/>But as you stated, black folks have to work extra hard. So if that means pushing aside the snacks for an hour of gym time, so be it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344239496521274434.post-13172814584149889962008-07-17T13:19:00.000-07:002008-07-17T13:19:00.000-07:00I think that this article was extremely interestin...I think that this article was extremely interesting as well as motivating. It is my opinion that many African Americans lose hope after exercising and dieting because they are unable to see noticeable, positive results. I do have friends that constantly ask me whether or not I notice a change in their physical appearance after they have only been at their weight loss regiment a couple of days. When I say no, they get mad and just give up because they believe that their efforts are not working. However, after reading this article, it may not be that their workout plans are not working, it may just be that they just need to work a little harder, stay consistent and wait. I too had the same belief at one point when I tried getting back into shape. It appeared as if nothing was working for me so I just stopped trying. (I had the belief that why keep trying something when nothing is working?) Now, thanks to this blog and article, I think that I am going to take another stab at exercising more,eating right, and getting back into shape.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
