@Modath: babe i've been picturing this move in my head since i read your post this morning. Will be trying it out tmrw and report back. Sounds very JM ish and i just know it will be a killer on the quads How far with your regime?

Decided to skip my RI30 w/o this morning. Had to listen to my body as i was quite knackered ( i usually wake up early to exercise before the household wakes). The extra rest in bed has done me good. Going to my aerobics class later this evening. Back on the Ripped prog tmrw.

HourGlass1:

Well done everyone, food: rice and beans + 1 local cheese, 1 50cl drink, 1 scotch egg, yam/potatoe pottage and dried fish, 1.5 litres water (rainy and cold day). Exercise was 5 mins air boxing and 10 buckets of water fetched from the well up a storey building, no pausing and of course my heart beat was high. On a 7 hour journey tomorrow for wedding, wish me safe journey. Take care.

modath:

Gen B,
Well done,105 mins, very impressive. Keep it up and try to incorporate strength training gradually or if you don't mind get ripped in 30 and work out with it. Good job.

@Gen: I hail you! Well done with the walk,

Hi All ,

On the j-hud issue, I have not seen her, I can tell you that not everybody's body is predisposed to looking toned with exercise. There are some olympic athletes that you would not know are athletes just by looking at their bodies.

HourGlass1:

Whether you greet me safe journey or not, na you sabi o 123. Thanks for the checks at all. No exercise yesterday and today, am here for wedding of a friend and so much paroles to take care of. GenB, dont wish me bad o, my mairuwa travelled without informing me and i was stranded so i just used that as an opportunity to work with it. I will be going back tomorrow kindly wish me well. I motivated two of my friends to start working out yesterday and one started this morning with sit ups and 30 brisk walk, how about that? I think there is something fattening in this FCT, modath dont mind me o. I love the place sha and trust me i did self discipline these two days.

Barbie doll,
She didn't do it in eighteen months,she took some time to have her baby,bam 6 months later she came back ''BRAND NEW''. i know because i have my finger in every pie, (POLITICS,INTERNATIONAL POLICIES,SPORTS,POP CULTURE et al] .am like a sponge,i soak up everything. But stuff like the above just make it difficult to believe. you know most celebrities get snapped by the PAPS one time or the other going in and out of the gym or whatever but she has never even been caught ''dancing''. stories like these leaves one wondering and enquiring!!!!!!
I am not cursed with my stubborn genes because i used to think that if somone that is a mother like me,weighed more than i did could just varnish in a twinkling of an eye,then something must be defective in my makeup .

modath:

Woke up @ 4 am to pee,checked NBA results on the net and cos the Mavs won (seriously rooting for them)I made the dumb decision to check ESPN,sat for three  hours listening to all the post games analysis and now can no longer ginger myself to do it.
Damn, I wish I had an Aerobics class too.!!!!

amykelly:

Hey guys, I love this section and would love to be a part of it.
Currently I weigh 70kg and plan to reduce to 60kg. I feel motivated just by reading your comments.
The problem is i work six days a week so how will I do 1000 skips s day !!!
Also the only food accessible to me at work is rice and beans and crackers. 
how do i manage to eat just 1400 calories a day??
Suggestions??
Oh! one more thing how do you quote someone on naira land just realised its not copy and paste

babs2011:

@Tolulop, welcome to the forum. Your time frame for shedding the weight seems reasonable. Just keep logging your exercise and food. Nobodys showing off here , pple just log what exercise theyve done for the day and it serves to motivate them and others on the thread.

agabaI23:

lol lol
No be show off. We are encouraging ourselves. You no nsee people wee dey do 30 days shred? They encourage me walahi. Seriously you do not have to look at it with fear.

As per the calorie of rice and beans
cooked beans has 150Kcal/50g, rice like 270 Kcal/75 g.
Counting may be frustrating but make sure you burn more than you eat. That's it.

About your coke tummy, running does not do much on your tummy.
You need some strength exercises targeted at the muscles and with healthy eating, you shall get there

Welcome Amykelly. To quote someone there is an option called 'insert quote' on the top right of the persons comment you want to quote. click it and it will apear in your reply box.

As per fitting in your workouts, depends on how early your day starts and how late it finishes. You could wake up that bit earlier to fit it in, only need about 25-30mins to get the heart rate up and get a decent w/o. Alternatively if you are not an early morning prson or have to get out to work v. early, you could do it after work? Another thought is to use your lunch break for brisk walk so just try and fit in more movement, every little helps. Also how come rice and beans are the only food available to you at work? Can you not take in your own food just to add variety. Its not easy trying to stick to a set number of cals esp with our naija food etc, but the major key is getting the portion control in check and watching what you snack on. Also avoid late night eating. If you are serious, this is a good place to check in just to keep one motivated, get ideas, advice and track progress. Hope this helps.


i think i got it nowwww
