Any Thoughts?
So I decided to go jogging yesterday evening which, if you are familiar with the weather we had in Cape Town on Monday, proved to be a simply marvelous idea, right up there with other great ideas I have had in the past, including getting circumsized at the ripe old age of 19, or trying to claim a prize I won through timeshare.
Besides the fact that I was literally soaked, and will most likely die of pneumonia within the next few days, I also managed to pull every sinew of muscle situated in my legs, which left me walking around The Office today in a peculiar manner, as if a warm banana had been firmly inserted between my thighs. (Not that I’m totally against that mind you, but there is a time and a place, and today was not that place)
So why am I putting myself through this torture, you may ask? Well, we are slowly waddling towards Summer now - Monday’s weather notwithstanding - and it’s time to shed my Winter Weight, which is a layer of fat I traditionally store around the period of April - November to keep me warm during Cape Town’s blistering cold Winter months.
Instead of exercise, I usually just pop a few of these exercise pills called Phedra Cut, which literally eats away at my fat although, admittedly plenty of my muscle too.

However, this year I’m looking for something a little more organic, something a little easier on the liver. So, are there any quick and easy weight loss methods out there? I’m not really keen on the whole road running vibe, but anything else I would be willing to give a try.
I’m specifically trying to lose weight around my derriere and thighs, as I put on weight the way a woman does and so am currently blessed with bulky hips and thighs, like a potato, or a large pear.

Seriously, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Katabox. That way it sounds macho but you still get to exercise (a lot) in a class full of sweaty and (mostly) good looking women.
Oakes, theres this garage in 3rdRoad …
@Craig - Will need more info on this “Katabox”(sounds like Taibo?)
@Clayone - Indeed! There is always that famous garage.
Apparently Hydra Cut works as well as Phedra Cut but isn’t as bad for you…
I’ve never been into running. I’m coloured. We only run when people are chasing us. So I can’t comment on that. Doesn’t look like it’s much fun though.
Find an activity that’s fun for you. No point in getting sweaty doing something you don’t like.
Rancid chicken works quite well…
Walking is the best exercise for losing fat and ensure that your diet does not include any high calorie foods.a half-hour run every other day, and have breakfast and dinner be cereal every day. And don’t get a junky lunch. You’ll shed ur weight like a snake sheds its skin.
I do katabox (TaiBo) and it is a great way to shed fat! Yes, I am a women, but we welcome (long for) some testosterone in our classes! Our instructor is often the only man in class among 20 or so “sweaty” women! I have lost over 20kg in 7 months!
