Nother thing bout the videos by Miranda Esmonde-White.
I got a few training videos (perhaps 6 or 8) from the local library. I would have assumed that they are ok, but compared to the ones you (golinux) gave me, they are not good.
I skip the long explanation.
The only one which was ok was Tai-Chi (but from what i have seen it lacks the side-steps and the knee-exercises, which help me a lot with the flexibility i need and the pain that i got.The pain is nearly gone, btw - hips, knees, feet, i spoke of it above).
In short: i can really recommend it.
So i herd u liek mudkip?

Yup. Most exercise/workout vids just plain suck. Her program is the first that has worked for me. She actually incorporates some Tai-Chi moves in her program. Can't remember whether that's evident in the ones that you have. So happy to hear that they are helping you. I can't imagine what shape I'd be in without doing it every day.
May the FORK be with you!

By the methods mentioned above: a) sports and b) change of food (mainly wholemeal rise and no sugar, or as little as possible) i lost 20 kilos in 6 months.
I have hoped, again: above, that things would be more easy with less kilos. The bad news: They are not. Otoh i don't know how i would skateboard with 20 kilos more ...
And in case someone cares: I didn't lose much kilos the first 2 months, only 2 or 3 kilos, then it went very fast. Probably metabolite first needs to get used to the new form of food.
This post was kinda feedback to the long-term results of my question[s] from above. In one word: Sugar is evil. Rise (wholemeal) is close to enlightenment. K, k, that was more than one word. Here is one word: Rise.

You have been absent for a long time. Nice to have an update. Congrats on your weight loss! Yes, sugar (and refined grains/foods) are EVIL! I've been off the 'white death' for a very long time. William Dufty's "Sugar Blues" is a must-read if you can find a copy. Outlines the progression of the rise of sugar consumption in a very engaging way. What is rise? Do you mean rice?
May the FORK be with you!

Lol. Yes, sure i mean rice. It is a common mistake of mine (just like loose and lose, safe and save, etc) and i barely speak/write English anymore (which i miss quite a lot).
I don't do much computing anymore, but i do check refracta, antix and debianuserforums as often i am online. So i am not really "absent", but i haven't got much to say.
I had hard times to drink tea or coffee without sugar (honey is ok, but was not so good as far loosing weight is concerned. Then i discovered stevia, which has got 0 kcal ). I do eat "sweeties" if "feeding the poor" offers them, but i don't buy them on my own. Sugar is in all kind of food, say sausage, mustard and what not, so i still consume sugar, but way less then before (cause i drink more than just a bit of tea or coffee per day.
I am fine, but i really miss the "chaotic online times" (namely forums debian). Skaters (+ inliners, bmx'ers, scooters) have a high respect for individualism too, but are not what one would calll intellectuel gourmets (as far i can see, of course). But then: I have spoken more than enough for one life....
