[blparent] exercising at home

[Pipi]

I am not meaning to start any drama on this list, but I'd hate for you 
to follow this and it not work. It is far better for you to eat 4 to 6 
small meals a day. Eating only twice a day is not healthy for you and 
will not help you lose weight. It will accomplish killing your metabolism.
As for lifting weights, you should do 3 sets of 10 reps to start and 
then work your way up. Move to 12 reps then 15 and so on up to 20. When 
that is easy for you, increase your weight. If you aren't used to weight 
lifting, I suggest starting with 5 pound weights.

Exercise does help and sometimes you really need to work hard at it, but it's all a teamwork thing. Between eating and exercising. Exercising will not just be the key, you really do have to change some things about your food. Also, you need to do some weight training even if it's lifting gallons of milk up-and-down from waste to above your head. If milk is not available, use bags of potatoes five or 10 pound bags can be lifted again from me up over your head. I use a couple of handweights, 10 pound and 25 pound weights. I also walk on the treadmill, and walk around my neighborhood frequently. I also now only eat two meals a day, and my weight loss is gradual yet noticeable people around my neighborhood have commented on the way they notice that my body is changing. Also, you need to keep this going at a very persistent rate and when you do the handweights, make sure you do at least 50 repetitions more better if you can do an hundred per arm
