Be on top more. That's a cardio workout.

It is the way I do it. Up and down parking garages, with weights on.
You can get your heart rate real elevated with it.
I don't know what else it would need to qualify as cardio.

I understand u know sugar is bad, but eating sugar (other than if u r diabetic) won't matter seriously. What DOES matter is the calories. Those foods I listed r LOADED with calories. U could be eating too many calories than u r able to exercise off. (Esp when u say u r not into cardio... u could be just toning yr body and that's why u see some inches off but no real weight loss cos u r still exercising a lot less than what u eat.)

Get a calorie book and calculate yr calorie intake per day and what u actually need. Then u know how much u need to exercise to work all the extra calories u r taking in per day off. If u r counting calories, for sure the maths will work. And u will lose weight.

I was keeping a log of everything I put in my mouth. I have since stopped though, since it obviously wasn't helping.

Well, I think portion control is the most important thing of losing weight, provided if u don't eat over-excessive. For example, a can of soda say coke gives u 150 calories which takes maybe 20mins of vigorous swimming to work off. I mean it is senseless if u don't control what u eat and then have too many calories to work off.

Say u need 1700 calories and u eat only 1500 calories a day and top up with some exercise everyday with some cardio activity either jogging, swimming or even aerobics, u will lose weight consistently.

Just do any exercise u like and do it often U shd be ok, don't worry

Mariah Carey lost 2 dress sizes thru portion control and working out in the gym tho she emphasized it was more portion control than anything else that helped her lose the weight. And she is 40. So it shows it works.

Food for Thought : Study shows value of food diary in losing weight - Yahoo! News

An interesting log that must be. Perhaps there's home movies showing "entries of the log?"

LOL Nah. My BF is in Iraq. Only food and drink going into this mouth.

Bummer. Well hopefully your BF returns safe & sound, and your consumption of delectable delights doesn't hinder your training regimen for a more sexy you.

Good for those people. It didn't help me any though. I'll take my own experience over any "study" any day.
