@Trim

plz tell me wat went wrong, I was suppose to lose 10 pounds.I stopped pizza,cake,ice cream,can drinks eba,amala ,cheese, alcohol blah blah blah but still i cant lost 10 pounds !!!
Well i like the way i am now i must confess but there is every possiblities i might gain the 5 back dat was why i wanted to go down by 10. Ok plz just tell me wat is wrong with my diet,i guess it might be dodo and rice but if i stop eating rice and dodo,wat will i be eatin nao ?

hi dear.

Was the 5 pounds over one month?
if so, then you still tried. Some people lose weight slower than others, everyone's metabolism isnot same.

What you should do is focus on trying to lose another 5 pounds this month. The journey might be slow, but what is important is getting there, because some dont get there at all.

You can stop the dodo, cos it contains lots of oil, and then ensure to eat the rice in moderation.

this month however, i would suggest you increase your water intake to 3.5 to 4 litres per day.

Congrat dear, a lot of people want to even lose 1kg, so i hope this spurs you to try harder next month. If you lose 5 monthly, by the end of this year, you would be down by 20!!!

Thanx so much trim .

@amosexy, another thing i forgot to mention. initially, when you start your strenght training exercises, you build muscle which weighs more than fat. So you might actually lose more than your weighing scale actually tells you. So it is also important to measure your inches, waist and thigh circumference, etc. You would notice that you have lost inches around those areas!!!

I am sure a lot of people have already told u that you lost weight!!!!!

Wow. Where did everyone go? No one trying to lose weight?

help am breastfedding mom my son is just 7month and i have gain much more weight help me

Hi trim.what do u know abt the calorie contents of Bole( roasted plaintain) and Sweet potato? how good are they for a weight watcher or someone who is trying to lose weight

I have been eating a lot of those o! Meanwhile, my weight loss journey has been slow but very steady.I have lost a total of 6kg after 3months. i now weigh 79kg from the 85kg i started with.Thanks to u trim.

My food log for yesterday is

Breakfast: Four akara balls and water


Lunch. Bole


Dinner: NiL

Total water intake: 4 litres

weight can even be lost without dieting. it is possible!

you can check http://sweetjulie-healthiswealth..com/ out you will be surprice at what you will find out about lossing weight.its not all about diet and exercise

I am tinaoge, I some much like the topic but since August u guys stopped posting.

I don't know my actual body weight but I think about 90kg. I wear 18 down and 16 up. I am 5.4ft, my hip is 40inches, waist 40inches, shoulder 18.

My goal is to reduce my body weight especially my hip and waist.

My log for 9th Septemeber is

100 skipping
60 squatting
20 press up

Breakfast: Small plate of jollof rice
Luch: 1 apple, watermelon and cucumber
Dinner: Boiled yam and palm oil

awww, i had to go search far and wide before i got hold of this thread. its so sad that we let it lose its momentum .
i have to admit it really helped me in watching my food intake and exercise more cos i know i had to report here with glowing results at the end of the day. but now that i'm not posting here anymore, i noticed that i eat unhealthy and definitely don't exercise anymore (except you want to count long walks).
to OP trimanttrendy and everybody who made this a success, lets bring back the the flare this thread once had and help one another stay fit and healthy
cheers

You may wish to check out www.fatstripping.com.
A useful weight loss review site with feedback.

A definite advise i would give is to avoid eating late. Anytime after 7pm is late in my opinion.
If you fancy eating heavy, go for a heavy lunch and then a very light dinner or give dinner a miss altogether.
Drink loads of water - It helps and purifies the systems. There are more useful articles on fatstipping.com site
