Weight Loss do those tummy belts really work? Sep 08 2006

Ok. I have to defend the tummybelt. I used my tummy belt while  training for the PRR(peachtree road race) and it was great. We're talking six straight weeks here.

My husband even commented on how good my waistline was looking.

You loose the inches by sweating out the excess water. I would sweat soooo much during a 45 minute workout that every clothing item below the bellybutton would be soaked. Of course the belt is soaked as well.

So don't give up just because someone else had a bad experience. We do not have the same body types, therefore we will not lose weight at the same level as our girlfriends or cousins.

So make the decision for yourself before you decide to go against it.

P.S.

It is a good thing to hold your abs in when you walk/exercise. You can also do this while sitting at your desk. It helps to strengthen your lower back.

Another thing, try to remember not to slouch when you're sitting. This strains your abdomenal muscles which causes you to get tired quicker when you're doing sit-ups.
Your muscles have been straining to hold your slouched back all day and now you want them to hold you while you do situps? Think about it.

luv ya girl!

I'm not sure what type of cable you have but in my area we have Comcast. Comcast has on demand videos/movies. I do the walkercise with Leslie Sansone. I recorded her exercise routine onto a VHS and  have been using it for 6 months now. I also rented her 2006 DVD from Netflix. The results of walking 1 mile in 30 minutes and 2 miles in 45 minutes have been great! She keeps you moving and interested by keeping the music upbeat.

After dropping off my routine for four weeks. I have gotten back on the path and look forward to working off the first 13 lbs in the next 6 weeks. That's a safe loss of 2lbs a week.

So if your your cable provider has on demand tv check to see if it carries an exercise program. Also if you are a member of Netfix, go to the site, type in Leslie Sansone's name in the search box and rent the video you fell is best for you.

The best thing about Netflix. You get to keep the DVD as long as you want, without any late charges.

Happy dieting

Ditto on all of the info you were given. The best way to tell if you're losing weight or not, is not by the scale but by the way your clothes fit.
Happy dieting.
