Hour_Glass:

Mistake #1, not wanting to touch other places, you cannot spot-reduce in a weight loss process, you workout your full body and then things take proper shape. For instance for a week now, ave been touching my bosoms and realized they became smaller, its something I never wanted at all. So try forget about spot training your body.

Your pics looks terrific, with just a little push you will be at your healthy weight (which is most important)

About the DVDs, I think youre outside the shores of Naija, then its easier for you, just order for them at amazon. I do order through a friend, amazon stopped sending some stuff directly to naija. It should be easier for you there.

Please, post your stats, its very good since it help in checking as you proceed. (except if you have your personal reasons).

Once more, youre welcome

KK, think I'll grab it on amazon now sef.

omo if my boobs should get smaller, it would not be nice o. I'd have to work out to make my breast muscles firm.

Height: 5'7

Its def not 130lbs so it should be 200lbs, there is no in-between

I am no where near 200lbs lol.
I said it's in between, so it could be 155 or 175. I'm very sensitive about my weight.

Is this video you're talking about?

If you are satisfied with your present weight, then get that DVD and lets know how it goes. Another thing is posting your logs either here or anywhere you will prefer, it could even be a diary you keep personally. It is of immense help to keep you accountable and monitor your progress. As I log my food and exercise, if there is a problem I know what to consult to help know where I missed it.

Ileke-IdI:

Nope

30 DAY SHRED, meanwhile 6W6P is equally good. check the reviews for all. I think 30DS is still the best work she had ever done, based on the sale and reviews

I'll try to log.

But I get bored of eating the same type of food. I know that to lose weigh, one needs to plan out what they're going to eat, and it's usually the same meal because healthy food are expensive.

Thanks ma'am. I stopped eating white bread since April lol. I'm originally a fish person. If it's not egusi, I don't touch spinach. The problem with egusi is that it's high in fat lol. And as an Ekiti woman, my egusi is not complete without my iyan, super temptation. All these food take too long to cook nau lol (omg, I sound like a . . . .). I'm a water person, so I'm fine. I can drink up to 8+ bottles per day.


Todays Log:

Breakfast: Made sandwich from wheat bread and honey ham, green tea

Havent had anything else yet. Will be back with the rest at the end of the day.



@Hour Glass
I'm anticipating the arrival of that DVD lol. It should be here by tomorrow.

^^^^ Ileke dear, nice of you to join us.....

-the easiest way to loose more weight is to count your calories, if you are consuming upto 2500 calories a day...reduce it to 1500, by incorporating more of vegetables and fruits.

- detoxify at least once a month, it helps cleanse your system.

-since you drink so much water, no sweat...i wish i can drink water like that.

- still reduce your portions, and reduce carbs, have a time-table to eat rice once or twice a week, pounded yam once or twice a week...and very little, i am talking about 8 morsels at most....with lots of fish (since you love that) and vegetable soup or any type you make....Egusi has lots of calories too... ...good luck on your journey to more weight loss

Thanks mami. How do I got about detoxifying my system? Lemon and ice water?

I'm in the process of changing every "white" food I have for "Brown/wheat" ==> wheat bread, wheat pasta, brown rice (that's going to take a while).As of right now, I'm onto wheat bread.


ahh, you want to turn me into a calories counter? lol omg, I can't stand those ppl, now am one of them?

....the time calls for it my dear....i have lost more weight counting my calories than exercising...only because i still burn calories from the 1500-1800 calories i consume a day, sometimes it is not even up to....

Even if you are changing to wheat or brown...just reduce the portions drastically, you will be surprised how a little food can fill you up the same way a full bowl of food would and further make you uncomfortable... .


Some people use lemon and water to detoxify...i can't because of stomach ulcer....i use tea....majority of the time and it is so effective, the last one i tried using (which was a new one for me) was very effective but gave me stomach cramps, so i had to stop it....i eat more of veges'...during that time, drink more water, and eat fruits, because eating those type of food will help you the more in eliminating waste from the system....some of these stores like the GNC ones, recommend complete detoxification, so they have pills for those, i really do not do pills, i am afraid of the side effects; if any shaa, but some people that have used it, love it and says it is very effective.

i have done body wrap like 4 times and it makes my colour glow more than getting rid of toxins, or maybe it works and i am just not seeing it.

Has anybody ever heard of this "tava tea"....i am thinking of buying one, i had it is very effective.

I don't do pills either. I don't trust those thumb-sized pills lol.

I'm a green tea person, I've seen tava ea but I've never tried it lol. I heard that green tea works better, esp with belly fat.

Isn't body wrap the body shaper that women wear?

So I need to
1) Start counting calories, adios mios!
2) Eating less

I've bought so many fruits and I've watched them rot on my kitchen table lol. And they're too expensive to be buying fresh fruit every day mehn

Imagine, mangoes cause $1, wtf? What If I wanted a whole month's worth?

Today's Log:

Breakfast: Made sandwich from wheat bread and honey ham, green tea

Haven't had anything else yet. Will be back with the rest at the end of the day.

Mistake #2 Starving

Starving is very bad for a weight loss process. When you don't eat or starve, the body goes into a saving mode and its scared that you have eventually traveled to Kenya (lol)and there wont be food again for days, it reserves calories and instead of loosing you're adding weight. But eating constantly makes the body to dispose any excess calories, since it knows food is still coming on the way. So, Ileke don't starve enjoy your food in a healthy way as you want to start doing. Another thing is do not ever ban any food, if not you will crave it so much, the day you will eventually give in, you will overeat it. Not good for you, moderation and discipline is the way to loosing the healthy way.

uche13:
Abeg keep me accountable this week oh. Not easy to start over. My challenge this week is 1000 skips per day to start with

Do you know I really trust you to do it right? You are already motivated to do it dearie

taitee: bin lazying around...nt even exerised 1 bit, its takin me more energy dan i tot 2 push myself 2 d gym...sigh ill try n make it 2mao.

Please don't start this at the beginning of a new week o, you know exercising is like yawning/sleep here. The moment one person goes to sleep, everybody join body

@Uche,missed u 2, weightloss does affect the immune system if its rapid and too much for the body 2 handle. You are right in allowing a period of rest before knuckling down. I have also taken sometime off cos the rain has interfered with my routine.

@HG,*watch me do the Azonto* @ your progress....am like a proud mama!! You have not only snapped me out of my lethargy,you've also reinvigorated me so am going 2 brave the cold in the AM.
