Trade the holahoop for a kettlebell and start swimming daily. You'll thank me later.


As I had mentioned in an earlier comment, there is a thing called the weight plateau. Immediately after picking an exercise habit, 7 to 12 kg rapidly disappear, depending on your body. After that, there is hardly any improvement. Even if you diet, it will drop a slightly few more then bounce right back up the moment you get a little bit exuberant with food for even a short while ...then it keeps yoyoing this way, driving you insane. Not trying to discourage, it is a fact of life.
I have been doing long runs for a long time now, I dropped 12 kgs and that was it.
The only way to get to the weight you desire is to train hardcore for a longish spell, like those military-like boot camps, (hardcore is like running 50 hilly kms every week, or a 100 minute daily weights session) ...but then you will be miserable,..and even then fate will mock you cruelly cause you will get many and painful injuries.
The choice to exercise for health and living right is the right one, saves you the tyranny of the kilograms

You remain in the plateau because of not adapting. That happens in all spheres of life.

Lose your 12, change strategy lose another, change strategy. Boss, change is constant! Any professional trainer will tell you that. Use Kettlebell, when you hit a plateau swim, when you hit it again jog, again cycle and repeat the cycle.


I almost drowned twice - in a swimming pool smile Swimming hapana...Anyway, I have tried some weights, cross trainer in reverse as alternates to jogging ...the thing is,.the plateau is inescapable.
As you grow older, your metabolism slows down, your joints and ligaments become weaker, not able to take more of the strain. To keep the weight plummeting, the exercise and variety needs to get more taxing as the age increases. You can't keep stacking it, nature and your body will not allow it. This adaptation that you have referred to, it becomes one familiar cycle for the body soon enough.
Find a sweetspot and be satisfied and happy is what I say.

The only thing I see, plateaued, is your mindset. You believe it is unachievable, so it becomes!

Call me I take you for marathon swimming. The fact that you almost drowned should be motivation to become an excellent swimmer! Omera, what is?smile

Easy to say. I am a realist. Have you reached that ideal weight that you have been aiming for?
I am off by 4-5 kgs.

Nope. Off by atleast 8kgs. But its because of factors beyond my control which hopefully will be availed in a short while. But even with this wish, my BMI is almost 20. Picture perfect. Walking alot, swimming alot, working out abit, eating right(No starch, plenty of good fats and proteins), lots of sunshine and a whale of probiotics.

Kettlebell ni nini? Would love to swim but where I stay hakuna pool karibu.And I suffer from hydrophobia.

Weight fat-o-phobia against hydrophobia, there are pools in the CBD(If you are in Nairobi) instead of Jam rescuing in a pub, do some laps.



Thanks learnt a new one.Where can I get them? But hullahoop remains forever though.

Its said that belly fat is the last to be shed. This is for those seeking a flat stomach/six-pack. The arms will go, the bvtt, the thighs before the belly takes a walk.

@Seppuku, try it. And thank me later.

Mine is quite stubborn...it goes yes but too slowly. Everything else seems to be fast. I came from a trouser size 43 to 37. Body is fit kabisa, lakini katumbo ni sloooooooow.
