The milks are coming quite early. It should wait. Take those tiny drugs, the pains and flow esp when you press will stop. Don't worry too much I have women with the condition and there husbands were still able to score severally. You don't have to worry too much trust me. Weight loss is important and you are already doing something about it.
I am trying too hard to be serious for once lipsrsealed So I won't say the next thing in mind.

serious agaba for a change  smiley So you be doctor or in the medical profession, ? agaba aka romeo haha confess!
agabaI23:

lol I am not a doctor but I am a doctor grin. My email is in my profile. .co.uk. Feel free to transfer as much crush as you can.
@HG,  sha first make sure he is not a 16 year old doctor,  javascript:void(0);tongue don't worry we are here to support you in the weight loss as usual and now you have even more motivation as it can directly impact this condition positively.

@babs2011
What does this mean?

@Gen, pls keep up now, i was refering to your comment saying do i mix palm oil with olive oil, lol
btw, how come you don't log your dinner or is that all the food you are eating for today? and is there a particular reason you eat peanuts/peanut butter everyday or you just like them? (its a serious question before you ask, smiley). I'm aware there are health benefits to eating nuts but one has to watch the quantities cos they are quite calorific.

lorkiy:

hey all! After 17 yrz of ma lyf ive decided its tym to let go of my fat, so i startd 2day,
Exercise:jogging(20mins)
skipping(100 tyms).
Breakfast:4 slices of toast bread,1 hard boiled egg,a mug of tea with 1 and half teaspoon of sugar,and milk,
Pls is that 2 much? Need advice in d eating area, like amount of rice,spagetti,indomie,ekele,yam,fruits, etc, pls pls pls help!

Hi Lorkiy,

For the breakfast, depends on whether the bread is white or wholemeal bread. I love toast so much esp white bread and buttered but it is not the best if you are trying to shed some. I still love to indulge so limit it to 1/2 slices and only scrapping of butter - less damage. For white bread 4 slices could easily equate to 400 slices (without butter on it). An egg is roughly 70 cals. For your cup of tea also depends what type of milk you use. If you are using evapoated milk (e.g carnation) they have high fat content. If you are using fresh milk then semi-skimmed is best. And even then just a drop should do. Cereals too are good for breakfast and oats (porridge) can keep you fuller for longer.

Portion sizes for the other stuff. Its just a rough guide. Rice - usually 1- 2 serving spoon should be ok just fill up the plate with lots more veg/salad or even boiled beans.
Indomie- 1 regular size packet is ok (not the jumbo one). Roughly equates to 300 ish cals per pack. you ccan also bulk it up with veg/salad etc
Yam - i tend to stick with 1 slice (large). then fill up with side such as fish stew, beans etc,
Fruits are ok and are great as snacks.
Eba and similar stuff - a fist sized portion is ideal as they are calorie dense food. Also try to cook with less palm oil, use more olive oil if you can.

modath:

Hurray,my mojo is back!i did level one of the shred this morning and am planning a 30 min brisk walk in the early evening to properly awaken my body.my waste disposal system has been erratic(you dig) to say the least.
Eating right is the key and exercise is the keyholder.without the keyholder your grip on the key is tenous.my 2k

Babs,
How is ripped in 30?.


Totally agree with the key/keyholder analogy grin

Glad your mojo is back, need some JM support here heehee! As for the Ripped in 30, what can I say?? JM is. insane. Period.

My buns, arms and legs are hurting but in a good way. I'm doing weeek 1 at the moment and I've just completed day 3 this morning. There are squat galores, press ups, arm lifts, dead lifts, rowing, lunges, hops, lots of butt kicks, punches, crunches etc. it's a whole body circuit in the same format as shred - 3 mins strength, 2 mins cardio , 1 min abs. The intensity in this level is just about managable for me to maintain proper form and I'm sweating bucket loads despite opeining the doors and windows. You have to use 2 diff sets of weights, one heavy set and one light depending on the actual exercise.
Looking forward to what week 2 will bring. Apparently in week 3 its total insanity! As as usual the beauty of this dvd is that the actual workout is only 24 minutes long so just when your muscles are about buckling and you feel like fainting- its over! grin She does a proper warm up and cool down so in total the dvd is around 35 mins end to end. She has two new girls, Basheera (a black babe) doing the 'bad ass' version and Shelly doing the modified. I try to keep up with Basheera wink.
One thing I like is JM pep talk and she reminds you that you have to eat right to get the results she promises. In her words' you can easily eat through the amount of calories you've burnt in the session and over to render your efforts totally worthless' When i hear those words each time i'm doing the w/o and remember how hard i've worked and sweat i really do think twice about what i'm putting in my mouth that day. At least for now its helping my selfcontrol issues with food.
Health / Re: Daily Exercise And Food Routine For Those Who Want To Lose Weight by babs2011(f): 9:31pm On May 17, 2011
@agaba, i'm liking that proper reverse crunch. It def looks more effective.

Just got back from power walking with my neighbour. She is begining to drop weight and is happy. We even did sprinting round the track smiley

Powerwalking 60mins

Food:

Breakfast - Bowl of cereal with milk
Lunch - 1/2 a sweet potato, green olives, 1 boiled egg and salad leaves with drizzle of olive oil.

Monday 16th May

Exercise: JM Ripped in 30 Dvd Level 1, day 1  (24mins + 6mins warm and cool down). 15mins brisk walk

Food:

Breakfast - Bowl of cereal + milk
Lunch - 1 white bread roll and 1 egg (fried)
Dinner - Plantain and beans with sweetcorn.
Snack -  1/2 mango,  1 yoghurt
Drink -  lots of water

So I've started level 1 of the new Jillian Micheal dvd, Ripped in 30. It has 4 levels of intensity. You do 1 level per week and gradually move up the levels each week. So in essence one should complete all 4 levels in 30 days i.e one month. However I'm planning to modify how i do it. For this week i am to do level 1 mon-fri and have the weekend off. then move to the next level next week etc. Well thats the plan  wink

@HG, hope u start to feel better.
@all, please no grudges in the house o!

Lol Field marshal nutlover, nothing de happen.
How body?
You try oo--40 minutes work wink
GenBuhari:

@aga-Buhari
sustainability my son, sustainability grin

^^

Ok GenB, just thought i'd check. Are you doing the exercise and food log for weight loss/improve fitness or just to sustain your current weight? I'm assuming for now its the former.
In exercise I don't think 'sustainability' is quite a good thing as you make out. Yes we should not go overboard and injure oneself etc, but if you don't push yourself much you will definitely plateau and your body will just get used to the exercise that even the 40mins walk is not effective at all and you will not be gaining the total health benefits. It will just be as effective as sitting down watching telly. This old body knows how to adapt well to routine and would just learn to use 'fewer calories' for that particular exercise.
You have to switch things up, change intensity or introduce different types of exercise regularly. Also if you do not want to go on a crazy diet (which I don't advocate), then you do have to compensate and make a calorie deficit through your exercise which in turn means you have to up the intensity. Looking at my food logs you can see I eat some stuff which really shouldn't but I try my best to do tangible exercise to burn those calories and increase my metabolism. I know i this is like preaching to the converted but just thought i'd put it out there again as i know agaba has always been having digs at you regarding this but guess he's only trying to make the same point. If its worth doing why not do your best?
Ok my early morning lecture is ova smiley

@Babs&Agaba,
Try 3kg if you have it as i feel the shock of doubling up might be too much to bear.i do it with 3kg and some of the moves take a serious amounts of efforts to complete with good form except you take a lot of 5 secs breathers, with the amount of reps in the shred being on the high side,anything that is too heavy may cause injury and we wouldn't want that.

I have been AWOL from excercise because we have two of my hussy's siblings ( youger bro and elder sister )with us for the week,and if you know the yoruba peeps well,you'd realise i have resident demi-gods as they expect to be waited on hand and foot .they want to '' experience Abuja'' so they hitched a ride with us with us from lag but they have been complaining bitterly about the dull pace of life here the elder not so much as she lives abroad and only came to touch up on her ongoing building project.coupled with the delayed fatigue i got from the lagos trip i cant wait for them to go so i can get my life back!!!
^^
@modath, thanks for the advice re: the weights used in shred. Actually you're right, the jump from 2kg to 4kg was too much and it did affect my form and my muscles were really tight and sore up till now, I will try and look for 3kg weights then.

Eku ale jo, (sorry if spelt wrong, not yoruba myself but married to one smiley). I know the feeling, 'demi-gods' and you being at their beck and call. Some even try it when they come here on hols. Bearing in mind that one still has to work, look after house and kids with no househelp yet you are meant to be at their beck and call, take em shopping for bargains and cook 3 diff meals everyday lol. Pele, the week will soon be over. Hope your back is much better?

^^ yeah i guess so. But i was also worried about 'bulking' up using those heavier weights. Just want toned lean muscles and the reps are a lot in the workout, was hard to sustain good form with the 4kg weights.

Well done on your running.
