Good luck Avin. Unfortunately I’ve run out, but let me speak to Suhail, he might feel generous enough to extend me another chit. I’ll let you know.

Hey Mahmood

I can relate to you so well. I am a stagerring 116 Kg at height of 6 ft the last time i checked and am about to embark on the same journey as yourself with dream body centre. I have tried out various gyms raised the heaviest of weights (to my capabilities), jogeed untill my calves hurt but it all just seemed to be a temporary fix as the weight would come rushing back and worse each time. I cant find sizes for clothes I like. Its all just going down hill at the moment. Hoping that dream body centre can help me in my quest to find the old me.
Could I get my hands on the month free registration would be of great help to me.

As I write in the middle of the night in the States eating the occasional peanut butter and jam sandwich (a habit I picked up when I first moved to bahrain when I had terrible jet lag)….I find that if I write down in a log every thing I eat and quantity, I am very suprised by what I intake.

This helps.

I have been a yoyo dieter all my life. My problem is I love good food too much. I love to cook. I love to talk about food. It goes on and on. I even belong to a international cooking club.

Also it is good that you have a realistic goal. I too made the goal last month to lose 20 pounds by the end of the year.

I started by eating steal cut oats every morning with walnuts and then eat 2 small lunches at 11 and 1PM and then a sensible dinner and small snack at night.

I can work out with a trainer 4 days a week and not lose anything. I look better, have more muscle but the scale barely tips.

Its the food intake I have to cut to reduce.

Guess I better log this delicious peanut butter and jam sandwich tonight, even its made on soft thick Japanese bread….goodnight.

Thanks for the offer to help, this comment alone is help.

I’ll give 23 minutes a chance for now, but if that doesn’t work out I’ll give you a shout.

It can be done of course.

I gained 25 Kg in 3 months, and I lost 10 in 2 months, I’m on a food diet and heavy exercising, maybe you should join the dream body centre. but if you want the free help, I shall advice you with lots of things including a diet and some vitamins and food supplements, contact me and I shall tell you everything you need, I just need some commitment and patience.

Dear mahmood,
as the guys mentioned above good diet and exercise is key to lose weight..
buy the george forman grilling machine, you can find it in manazel or electronic shops…grilled food is really helpful in losing weight…more salads in your meals will help as well.. cut carbs but you still need some to keep you living..but there are really bad carbs that slows down the process of losing weight…thats what i basically done and lost 30 kgs in 5 months
good luck

Hey Mahmood…it seems being overweight is a condition that is acquired simply by being in Bahrain…so many expats I know…myself included…arrive to these shores a fit and trim athlete…then slowly pudge out and become a round little wobbly umpalumpa (Willy Wonka fame). The island has a lot to offer in the form of sport…but alot of it is out of the reach of the ordinary folk….not to mention the weather makes it rediculous sometimes to even contemplate doing something outside other than running for the nearest shady spot.

I also recently embarked on a diet and exercise routine…unfortunately my numbers are similar to yours…except that Im fairly short…so its even worse. So far 5 kilos down…every bit helps.

The only thing that keeps me motivated at the moment is the fact that my kids have only me on this island to care for them (friends dont count for this particular thought) and if anything happened to me…where would they be…so I need to be healthy for them if not for myself…you know?

Anyhow, good luck. I hope the DBC is exactly what your looking for. Let us hear some good news before too long.

You are what you EAT!!! I’m a firm believer in that. My fat friends would look at slim me with contempt and say, “oh my gosh, and you can eat whatever you want!”. Why do you drink diet Coke”? I always wanted to say, “because I don’t want to be fat like you!”, but I checked my thoughts and always just smiled. No, I cannot eat WHATEVER I want. I practice self control. Don’t eat that huge serving of food when you eat out. Take half home and enjoy it the next meal. PORTION CONTROL and activity will give you results! Ok, that’s my thoughts. Just remember, your perseverance will pay off! Stay with it & GOOD LUCK!

Good luck Mahmood. I’m not quite up to your subtly generous proportions but I do know how much easier it is to put the weight on than to lose it.
