I know it is about time now that I should become concerned with my diet and overall health. My metabolism is slowing down I couldn't get enough exercise. This is really worrying me. I'm on a roller coaster diet, weight loss in a week, and weight gain the next week! I know I should be cutting down on carb and fats, but I just can't help it. I tend to eat more rice especially during dinner, which is not good. Same time last year, I was much fit and agile, but now I'm getting fat and feeling gawky!

Yeah I'm on the same kind of diet it's crazy :/ One week I'm exercising all day everyday then next week I don't see a difference so I just stop then I get motivated and start the whole thing over again

Gosh we're on the same boat lol There was a time when I thought, or rather I just preferred to believe,haha that I was hitting my goal. Then family members and friends would tell me they didn't see any difference! :(

What is a yoyo diet? I don't have an idea..hehehe..
Well anyway, each of us as we grow old, our metabolism tends to slow down as well.. The best way to stay physically fit is just exercise, a simple walk a day means a lot, but jogging walk be best. You can also try biking around your neighborhood. Doing house chores is a good basic sample of exercise. If you really have a target, then i suggest you go to the gym and firm that muscles and burn that fats.. :)

Hi pals101, thanks for the response! A yoyo diet is so aptly termed because the dieter, who's on a weight loss program or diet, hits his mark but can not maintain it and gains weight again so he'd try to start all over gain!:) It resembles an up and down yoyo motion and so it is termed as such lol. I am a full time mom but doing all the house chores is just isn't enough, and also I can't keep away from all those yummy sinful foods.:)
